Keeping fit and healthy is a priority for most of us. While some prefer going out and jogging, others like the comfort of their homes to make their daily workout. BallStrike for Windows 10 is a perfect app to help you burn calories and get a slim body.
While other so-called “health” apps promote wonderful diets and show you how to exercise, BallStrike for Windows 10 helps you turn work into a game.
Also, thanks to its awesome user interface and state-of-the-art technology, BallStrike will probably have lots of users who will lose weight in a fun way.
BallStrike for Windows 10 [Review]
While the app itself is free, users will have to buy the premium version if they want to enjoy all the different levels of the app.
The free version comes with 3 levels to understand what it is and how it works. If you are pleased with the app, you can upgrade to the premium version from within the app.
Once you’ve installed the app, when you open it, it will warn you that you need to have adequate light in the room you plan to work out and that you should be roughly 2 meters away from the screen to get the best results.
The next part of the tutorial explains how the game works: you will have to hit the virtual balls that appear on your screen and avoid bombs.
Once you’ve gotten by the tutorial, you will see the main menu, where you can select one of the 12 levels that the game offers (keep in mind that only the first 3 are available for the free version).
Once you’ve entered a game, it will show you an image of a body that you need to fit in (you will have to move back until you appear as big as the model).
After a few seconds, you start the game, and you will see yourself on the screen along with the balls that you need to “punch” and “kick” to obtain points.
This is all done via AR (augmented reality) technology, and it works by tracking you with the camera integrated into your device and creating virtual objects around you that you can interact with.
The technology is pretty awesome, and using it in a workout app is something brilliant for those who want to keep fit but don’t want to get out of their house and are tired of a treadmill.
However, to fully benefit from the app‘s features, you might want to use it on a big screen, so hooking your device to a TV would be a good idea.
On the screen, besides the objects you need to interact with, you can see other information, such as the number of calories burned, the points you’ve gathered, the number of missed balls, the level you are at, and the time remaining.
Overall, the app is awesome to make a workout with, especially for those who are more tech-savvy and like cutting edge technology. I hope that Windows 10 users will enjoy BallStrike and they will use it for their daily workouts.
While testing the app, I did experience only one problem: the app stopped using the camera from my device, but it still worked. After a while, it worked again, and I had no other issues with it. I hope that with future updates, it will become 100% reliable.
Still, there are other apps like iFit, so if one isn’t your cup of tea, the other can step in.
