Dayta For iPhone App [Review]
Let’s say you are like me and you like to keep track of random things. Maybe it’s your kill to death ratio on the hot new first person shooter or maybe it’s how many cigarettes you smoked in given day. Whatever it is, if you are like me, you want to track it using a gorgeous app – I am huge on the user interface of apps. Dayta makes this happen. It’s the best data tracking app I have found to date. To be honest, I didn’t find many, and once I found Dayta for iPhone I didn’t need to look any further. What’s especially great about Dayta is that it’s only $1.99.
Dayta is super easy to use. Upon launching the app you are greeted with the home screen. From the home screen you have the choice to adjust the settings or start a new data log. If you are tracking several things that are all related you can create a folder and keep these logs stored together for easy access.
One really nice thing about the folder option is the ability to change the picture of the folder for a more personalized feel. If you just want to track one thing you can also launch a data log and begin to set it up. Set up is easy, you name it, you add a custom picture if you are so inclined and than you pick the unit you are working in. The units can be $, km, lbs or just about anything you want.
The magic of this app happens once you get past the entering of data. The app allows you to view your information on a line chart which always look impressive. Line charts are very helpful as time goes by to see the peaks and valleys of whatever it is you are tracking.
I personally use the app to keep track of my weight and find it very encouraging to see the lines go down. If you use this for something like a first person shooter you can really see what is working and what is not in your game play.
The app also incorporates a social twist by allowing you to Tweet your daily progress in whatever it is you are tracking. Dayta may not be for everyone but if you do need a good way to track data and present it in a iPhone worthy method Dayta is app for you. Dayta only $1.99 in the app store, that’s less than the next cup of coffee you’re going to track with it, so there’s absolutely no reason to not download it!
