  I just did a search in the store and discovered there are at least 15 separate workout apps published by the same company with the same red icon theming. (men, women, abs, legs, lose weight men, lose weight women…)

  Like, what the actual fuck.

  I guess when people treat the app store like a search engine we get into the situation where apps become hyper-specific to match the hyper-specific things people are searching for, using individual app names as if they are search results.

  I hate it, and I hate the human behaviour that has lead to this being a profitable tactic for app developers.

    I doubt 98% of them have any real usage. The barrier to entry is low. The play/Apple stores are very healthy and profitable. If course a few smaller app are going to pop up to try and get a cut.

      It may be the same workout app just multiplied for SEO. I don’t think making official dupes is an offence against the rules of said platforms, as these are not unauthorized clones, and spamming apps to appear in every potential search querry is what for-profit companies without a brand recognition would undoubtedly strive for.

    app store search is often super bad. it ignores words etc, because they make more money by people not finding what they want and falling back to installing a few promoted apps with extra ads and tracking instead

    Finding an app that focuses on the thing you wanted to do specifically probably gets people to install it better than a generalized app

      And takes “shelf space” from competing apps.

  Targeted exercising doesn’t work.

    How so? If you train your biceps you won’t get stronger feet?

      You both are correct, depending on the context. The first user’s point is correct when it comes to losing weight. You can’t just lose belly fat by doing a bunch of situps.

      Funny enough, you actually can target losing belly fat to a degree with diet. Both alcohol and fructose are broken down via the Krebs cycle, and the fat that is the output is deposited in between (and inside of) the organs in your gut. Cutting out alcohol, fructose, and sucrose (which is glucose + fructose) will stop adding fat there. In addition, ketosis tends to cause visceral fat to be broken down for energy more than subcutaneous fat, so that can be used to target visceral fat.

      Also, getting rid of visceral fat is a very good idea. Subcutaneous fat doesn’t have much of a negative effect on health unless there is a lot of it, while visceral fat can lead to organ problems like fatty liver disease.

  I think they both have the same exercises.

    Do they? I haven’t checked, but men and women do tend to focus on slightly different things: men tend to focus more on upper body and building mass, women tend to focus more on lower body and toning. There’s a lot of overlap for the basic compound exercises, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there are some differences.

      I believe they have pretty much the same sets and all that it might just be a difference in which ones it suggests to you.
