Training for all guys MSN Health. Microsoft closed Photosynth and MSN applications, including HEALTH and Fitness, Food and Drink

Still plan to start running from Monday, from next month, or from spring? And, of course, to eat right? In principle, we all know that it is important how important it is to be healthy, and approximately represent what to do for this. But for some reason, there is always something not enough - then the power of the will, then the motivation. And today, when we are just doing what we look into the screens of our smartphones, fitness applications may well be the most magical kick in the direction of health and. If you are too lazy not only to run, but also to download several applications about proper nutrition, health and fitness, you can try the service, literally a month ago released - MSN Health & Fitness. Works with, and by the way, completely free. Let's see what happened to IT giant.

The first thing that rushes into the eye - Interface in the Metro style, used by Microsoft in its products ranging from Windows Phone (For which it was originally developed) and before Windows 8. The service works, relying on the Bing search engine. So, the main page is divided into four tabs - "Today", "Fitness", "Nutrition", "Medicine". The first is the main screen with rapid access The main information is immediately launched and running and diet tracker. There is also data pedometer For today, by default it has been established that we need 10 thousand steps per day. When I installed the application, it was surprised where he knew how many steps I went yesterday. It turns out that the information from the HEALTH APP pre-installed in iOS 8. MSN interacts with it and communicates with information (if not disabled in the settings).

Second top tab " Fitness"Sends us to the world of sports. There is everything that the soul wishes - all sorts of thematic articles, selection of video training, plans for various types of fitness. Tips, sets of exercises. Everything is updated via the Internet.

In chapter " Food"- Relevant articles, tips of nutritionists and all that. By the way, the transition to the tracker diet - from the page today, in "Nutrition" - only articles, which is a bit strange. In the Diet tracker, we ask the required amount of calories per day, and then - all that ate per day, the program analyzes and considers calories. It is easier to control your food, especially if you want to lose weight. Only chur do not cheat, and all the eaten podscake record. I will write my omelet for breakfast.

Medicine - In the visual plan, this is the most successful part of the service. In addition to articles, you can open the 3D model of the human body - to see how systems or individuals look like. Models can be rotated and viewed from all sides. It is useful for schoolchildren, and everyone interested in anatomy.

And Microsoft developers decided to surprise us with a built-in "mini-doctor." Choosing an "Check Symptoms" item, again we see a 3D-person, and touching that part of his body, which hurts, get a list possible problems. I chose the stomach, and that's what problems are with the belly.

There is also a whole list of nonspecific symptoms, such as anemia, edema, high pressure, and other things. Real Paradise for Hypochondrikov. You can find 10,500 all sorts of ailments. In general, if something really bothers - better to offline doctor.

And the most interesting dessert. I will try to run with MSN, because among this color manifold of health tools I managed (though not immediately) find in it and running tracker. It launches S. main page ("Today") - a little man with an arrow.

Here in general, everything is standard - kilometer, tempo, speed, goals, voice coach, whose alert frequency can be configured. Only here the Russian voice is very artificial, incorrectly pronounces some sounds. No auto suite is sadness. After jogging, I want to see my route. The map is very scarce, it is impossible to increase it and in my case there is not even visible the names of the streets. About chips like see the routes of other users or save their own - immediately forget. After training, you can see the analysis of your jogging in circles, also the results are added to "Health".

If Microsoft closed MSN Health & Fitness, then it is not entirely clear what it means for fitness trackers for Windows Phones.

Microsoft confirmed on Friday that work on low-used MSN applications will be discontinued and applications such as Photosynth, MSN Food and Drink, MSN Travel, and MSN Health & Fitness will not appear in Windows 10. But the termination of the support of the last application seems to be a real blow to the emerging health initiative Microsoft.

All applications will be closed for any platforms on which they worked: iOS, Android, and operational windows systems. Almost in all cases, only applications have been sunk in the summer. For example, Microsoft plans to save your MSN Health & Fitness website.

Because of this, the impact on each application will change. For example, an application for MSN Health and Drink, for example, contains a function that allows users to create and organize shopping lists. But the rest of the application copies the web page: the user can explore and search for various recipes and read the "news" on such a variety of related subjects. The MSN Travel application allows you to search for the necessary flights and free hotels, as well as track the status of all your flight functions that can be processed using a website. Finally, even the site photosynth.net will be supported, although support for iOS and Android applications will be discontinued.

Microsoft Health & Fitness offers an amazing amount of information about your day.

But MSN Health & Fitness is likely to be the most valuable for users and it is unknown that this destruction app will mean for the company. Microsoft representatives did not provide an answer to this question during a press conference.

"We regularly appreciate our business to provide him with concentration in areas where our users find the greatest value," said Microsoft. "We will continue to support applications with broad attractiveness for the consumer, including news, weather, sports and money that will be available in the application package on Windows 10 and will remain cross-platform."

Backup applications that are still different

Microsoft offers two-oriented health tracking applications: MSN Health & Fitness and Microsoft Health. Both are working on Windows Phones, but Microsoft has found that new microsoft app Health will work almost exclusively with Microsoft Band.

Unfortunately, MSN Health & Finally is an excellent stand-alone application that has enhanced tracking opportunities supported by most modern Lumia phones, which saves extra $ 100 instead of buying a selected device. It even tracks steps when walking and run by default, which does not make Band if you do not specify the "workout" mode. And while it has a slightly different combination of training than hEALTH application (mostly focused on yoga, Pilates and power, while Microsoft Health & Fitness expanded and attracted its work even by bike), the HEALTH & FITNESS application may provide more full list The most common exercises.

The MSN Travel application simply selects information from the website.

Unfortunately, the MSN Health & Fitness website offers only a general list of health associated with health, without offering anything specific for users. And in accordance with VentureBeat, the HEALTH & Fitness application will reset your saved data until November 1.

However, Microsoft says Microsoft Health also will also lose their data for Windows Phone. "Microsoft Band works with Microsoft Health-oriented on cloud service For storage, exchange and converting information in ideas that can be used to achieve your goals in fitness, "said Microsoft spokesman in email.

"In the same way as you track steps and calorie consumption on WP, Microsoft Health will work," the press secretary added. "If you wear a Band, it will be selected as a priority tracker.

Microsoft plans to get rid of MSN applications and after Windows 10 Mobile is expected to embody its solution. And maybe, for Windows 10 and Microsoft Health, a viable alternative will be created. But still it seems that Microsoft is attempted to complete the work on good application And get rid of it without a good reason.

Still plan to start running from Monday, from next month, or from spring? And, of course, to eat right? In principle, we all know that it is important how important it is to be healthy, and approximately represent what to do for this. But for some reason, there is always something not enough - then the power of the will, then the motivation. And today, when we just do that we look into the screens of our smartphones, fitness applications may well be a magic kick towards health and sports. If you are too lazy not only to run, but also to download several applications about proper nutrition, health and fitness, you can try the service, literally a month ago released - MSN Health & Fitness.

Trying to keep up with the times, Microsoft has released a fashionable sports service. But such an impressive tool set is closely in one application. It turned out a clear bust, separate chips could be interesting, but turned out to be unfinished. Yes, and in general, the application often slows down, even with good internet. Remember the bearded anecdote about the 5-storey airliner from Microsoft "... And now all the belts fuck, and we will try to take a fortune with all this?"
