Appearance –
Beeminder is a simple-looking app that charts out a path for any goal you set for yourself. Whether you wish to follow an exercise routine to reduce your weight or cover a set distance every day while running, this app can create a nice graph for you. This graph defines an ideal path that you must follow to achieve your goals on a regular basis. This path is drawn on a wide road (Yellow Brick Road) and you need to pay a penalty if you drift away from this road. While you work on your goals, the app prompts you to report relevant data. Based on this data, it plots your progress on the designed road. While your data points remain on the road, you can use this app for free. Else, you will be charged a set fee to proceed. Overall, the concept and appearance of this app is nicely designed and displayed.
