Bodybugg Mobile App
What is the Bodybugg?
The Bodybugg is a device that is used to help people lose weight and/or maintain their weight. This device in combination with the Bodybugg mobile app can help with choosing a meal plan, counting calories, measuring activity level, and serving as a pedometer. This weight loss and weight management device is something that looks similar to a large watch. It is placed on the user’s upper arm, or sometimes the user’s wrist, and once turned on it records various data.
Those who own the Bodybugg and want some more freedom with it may find the mobile Bodybugg app beneficial. This app isn’t an actual app, however, but a website that can be accessed using a BlackBerry, iPhone, or other phone with internet access. Since this app isn’t truly an app, it is free as long as the user has an active subscription.
