Currently Movator is rather good in detecting walking, jogging, running, swimming and biking. But nevertheless, less power consuming activities like working in an office will be noticed. All these activities will be detected and separated from the passive phases. Movator also detects when you are driving car or when you are sitting in a bus.

MOVATOR is based on a brand new technology and results of most modern scientific research done by the Fraunhofer Institute (Inventor of MP3 and h.264 compression technologies). Highly specialized, mathematical algorithms allow to read out the motion-sensors data stream and recognize specific patterns that belong to specific movements and activities.

All these complex mathematical calculations are completely hidden and working for you in the background. You have not to worry about anything!Just launch the app and tab the REC button - done! You iPhone will record your moves.

iOS currently comes along with some restrictions. One of these restrictions forces Movator to operate in foreground to access and enable the motion sensor's datastream. Nevertheless you can control your iPod player via the task bar without interrupting Movator recording. When another App is launched, Movator's recording will be interrupted (unfortunately, but we work on it…). When coming back to Movator again, the recording will immediately be continued.

In the evening or at any other time you can watch the clear and meaningful graphics to get an idea about your level of activity during the day, active phase with more corporal efforts and passive phases with less or non corporal efforts. Finally your calories consumption will be calculated per day, week and month and for each single activity. This way you will easily discover power consuming activities and the final durations during the day. Finally there may be activities not being detected correctly, or activities which cannot be detected automatically yet … or you simply missed to carry your iPhone/iPod touch with you…  For these cases Movator allows to edit and add activities, starting times and duration manually.

• Detection and analysis of currently 7 different motion patterns: Walking, jogging, running, biking, swimming, light work (office), driving.
• Calculation and display of the calorie consumption for each motion and in sum, respecting your personal weight and age.
• Set your personal goal for calorie consumption and view the graphical indicator to see how much has been done. 
• Charts for the complete day showing your activity profile splitter in active phase and passive phase
• Charts to inspect activities by duration and by calorie consumption 
• Timeline chart showing your activity profile of the day, week and month (turn around your iPhone).
• Manual input and edit option for activities. Integrated database with about 60 most common activities. 
• Comfortable calendar feature to add and review your historical entries.
• AddOn available to upload your activities' data to the Calories 2 sync server and import to Calories 2 software for further processing. (in App purchase)
