If you have tried to update CardioTrainer in the past few days, you might have seen a message telling you the application wasn’t “available in your country,” or you might not have been able to find it when searching on the Android Market. Where did CardioTrainer go?

Last week, one of our partner companies inadvertently filed some legal documentation that resulted in CardioTrainer being removed from the Android Market. This wasn’t at all intentional, and we have already been in contact with both Google and this partner company to get everything back to normal.

Don’t worry, WorkSmart Labs is still fully supporting CardioTrainer, and the application will be available for download and updating again on the Market very soon. Until then, you can use the following link to download CardioTrainer directly (if you’re prompted to allow installation from 3rd parties, go ahead and accept): bit.ly/ctdownload.

Thank you for your understanding, we’re so sorry again for the trouble. We will update everyone as soon as we have more news.

All the best,

We are incredibly excited to announce the release of a brand new way to achieve your weight loss goals. Introducing Noom Weight Loss, an all-inclusive way to track your weight loss goals, exercise and food intake with as single, easy-to-use application. If you’re a CardioTrainer or Calorific user, try out this new combined experience.

Noom: Weight Loss, Exercise, Food Tracking

When you open Noom, you’ll see three tabs for weight loss, exercise, and food tracking. All you need to do is set up your weight loss plan by choosing how much weight you want to lose, and how often you plan to exercise. Use Noom’s features to get reminders about upcoming workouts, track your exercise, record all of your food intake, and stay within your personalized budget.

Set up a weight loss plan, monitor your intake, and track your progress.

For existing CardioTrainer and Calorific users, many of these features might look familiar, but now they’re conveniently integrated into a single application. You can import your CardioTrainer workout history into Noom by using the permanent accounts feature, and we’ll be adding a feature to let you migrate your Calorific data very soon.

Track your food intake and any kind of exercise.

Our goal is to make is as simple as possible to help you achieve your weight loss goals, and this is our first big step in that direction. For now, we mostly recombined and improved our existing tools, but with your help this will slowly evolve to be much more. Noom is still in beta, so we are very interested in hearing your feedback. Leave a comment below, rate Noom in the Android Market, or send us an email at noom@worksmartlabs.com.

And of course, help us spread the word if you know someone that might be interested in Noom!

Here’s to a healthier you!

We just released CardioTrainer v3.5.3. to the Android Market, and we’re really happy to announce that there are two notable improvements, in addition to lots of smaller bug fixes.

Updated Music Integration

If you’ve been using a device running Android 2.3 (aka Gingerbread) or a Samsung device, you probably noticed the message in CardioTrainer’s settings that said music integration was incompatible with your device. This latest release includes a custom music player that should solve these issues. Please let us know if you’re having any more problems with the music after you install!

Editing Workouts

Have you been in the situation where you finished a workout and wanted to tweak the stats CardioTrainer reported? Maybe increase the calorie burn or distance traveled? You can now edit all of your workout information by selecting a track from your workout history, clicking “stats,” and then clicking “Edit workout.”

There are some other smaller bug fixes included in this release and some UI tweaks. Let us know what you think!

All the best,
The WorkSmart Labs family
