Isitrainer and Equitrainer iPhone Apps 1.0

Isitrainer and its sister app, Equitrainer, are both apps designed for people who professionally train and ride horses. Isitrainer is the variant that should be used for Icelandic gait horse training, while Equitrainer is suited to more general horse riding. If you like to spend time in the saddle, you most likely do not want to spend much time typing training reports into your computer, isn't it? These apps where designed exactly with that in mind. With both apps, you can:

•  Select which training units you have used today with a special horse, e.g. lengthening/shortening strides in trot 
• Tick off some general features applying to a family of units, e.g. how the horse was on the bit, whether he seemed motivated etc. 
• Add some comments of your own, if you want 

 The app then generates an e-mail which you can send to the horse's owner (if you are paid for training) or to yourself to keep for your records.

So, it is fast, it is efficient -  and you are off on your next horse in no time!

 At the moment, both apps are only available in German, but they might be translated in the future.

Gaedingur 1.0

Gaedingur is an app for everyone interested in Icelandic Horse gait competitions. The app can be used to track progress of horse/rider pairs throughout competitions on several dates.

Features

• Setting up new competitions. Supported gait competition types at the moment are the FEIF regulated tölt competitions (T1 - T8), all four gait competitions (V1 to V6), all five gait competitions (F1/F2 and the free obedience type.
• For each competition, enter the riders you are interested in
• As the competition proceeds, enter the marks for every competition part - you will immediately see which rider is first after every part. The app uses the FEIF specified calculations (http://www.feif.org) to calculate the total of every competition part and the total grade for all parts (five or three judges).
• The app allows you to keep track of the single marks that have been given for every gait, not just the summary or the marks per judge (as it is the case for the regular ranking lists)
• Include your favourite Icelandic horse website in the app (configurable via Settings)

User Manual

Competitions

1. Create a new competition by clicking on the "Plus" button at the top right
2. Choose where the competition takes part (can be changed later)
3. Choose the type of the competition (this cannot be changed later, as it would affect which parts the competition has)
4. Choose the date and time when the competition takes place (this can be changed later, if you do not know yet).

The competitions will be ordered automatically after their date.

• To delete a competition, click on "Edit" or swipe across the competition you want to delete.
• To edit a competition, click on "Edit", then select the competition you want to edit.

Horses and Riders

1. Create a new rider/horse by clicking on the "Plus" button at the top right
2. Enter name of rider and horse. Optionally, you can enter a group/and or competitor number in the group field (in the beginning, the competitors are sorted according to this field). You can also specify the color the rider will be wearing in the competition, if you already know which one it is.

Riders cannot be edited in the current version of Gaedingur, but this is a feature which we have planned for the next version.

Riders will be sorted according to their group number. During a competition, the sorting order will change to their current ranking.

Competition parts

During a competition, use the red bar at the bottom to scroll between competition parts. To facilitate entering grades for every part, the part currently selected is preserved if you navigate back to choose another rider. The calculations for the grades are the ones specified by FEIF (http://www.feif.org), so pay attention to the fact that in some competitions, the grades of some parts count double for the end mark and also that when there are five judges, the best and worst mark are usually not counted.

Classroom Monitor 1.0.0

The first version of Classroom Monitor will soon be available from the AppStore.

What does Classroom Monitor do? 
This app helps to track the time everybody in a classroom or meeting spends with talking: it combines a timer with statistics for the current day or a past period. In this way you can find out who takes the floor most of the time and who probably should get her or his turn more often.
The app includes the following features:

• A list of people: you can add or delete people you want to monitor (just click "Edit" on the start screen)
• A timer: when you click on a person on the list, the timer for this person starts running.
• Statistics (click "Statistics" on the start screen): you can see who talked how long in total, just today, or in the last few days, weeks or months. You can even mail the statistics to anybody you wish (by clicking on the compose symbol in the upper right corner of the Statistics screen).

Who should use it?
You can - of course - use it for fun: just to see who is the most garrulous of your business colleagues. If you are a teacher, you are probably aware of the fact that some pupils get to talk a lot, while others keep quiet. The app can help you to see such patterns and to correct them where necessary.


In the future, features that may be included are:

• Import people from Address Book
• Extended person information (image, gender etc.)
• Editing people information
• Extended statistics (e.g. gender-related etc.)
