Download the Black Dog Pedometer for your iPhone or iPod Touch and Exercise Your Mood with the Black Dog Institute. Did you know that research shows that people who exercise regularly are less likely to experience symptoms of depression or anxiety? This FREE app allows you to set your distance and time goal and tracks your personal best. A little black dog keeps pace as you work to achieve your goal and barks a motivating message to encourage you along. The pedometer is also linked to the Black Dog Institute mobile website which provides more information about depression and bipolar disorder and allows for online donations to the Institute.
The Black Dog Pedometer works just like a regular pedometer – set a distance goal and a time goal, then take it with you on your next walk or run.
You can also keep track of your personal best time, so you can see how you're improving.
Exercise your mood!As you begin your walk, your iPhone or iPod touch will detect your steps and track your progress.
Your character is on the left hand side, and the black dog is on the right. The black dog will walk at a steady pace to help you reach your time & distance goal.
If you start to move too slowly, he will give you some encouragement to keep you on track.
Once you have completed your distance, the Black Dog Pedometer will tell you how you went, including the number of steps and the time it took to get you there.
