Settings

 

iWatchr has alot of settings to adjust to your liking. Anywhere from changing the home screen badge to using decimal displays to editing the calculator formulas, there really isn't much you would want to do that iWatchr doesn't allow with a quick change.

 

HISTORY/LOG:

**Display..... This is the setting for how you want your totals displayed throughout the app, including the above mentioned home screen badge.  Also will change how "total pts." is displayed in each individual daily log and how the "pts." are displayed on the main History log section where all your days are listed.

**Daily Score Allowed.... This is where you enter how many points per day you are allowing yourself. You will need to enter this in if you want the app to display "total left". You will also need this if you want the "extra score" (weekly points) to work correctly.

EXTRA SCORE:

**Extra Score.... This is the on/off switch for the extra score feature. The extra score feature is a "overflow" type feature in which you allow yourself a certain amount of points a week (or bi-weekly) besides your normal allowed daily points. The way this feature works is if you were to go over your daily allowance on certain days, iWatchr will start to draw from this "extra" allowance on those days. If you were to go over one day, you can replenish the extra allowed by earning "bonus" exercise points BUT only for the same day that the exercise was done. For example, say your daily was 20 and your extra weekly was 35. One day you used 25 points so now the extra is 30. If you were to gain exercise points that same day you went over then they could be put back onto your weekly points. So if you gained 3 exercise points, your extra weekly would then be 33. It only goes back if it all happened the same day. If you had gone over (25) but didn't exercise until the next day then those 3 exercise points would NOT go back. Your extra weekly would remain at 30.

To initially start this feature, first decide which day of the week you want to start your "extra" points. The feature automatically starts keep track the same day it is turned on so if you want to start on a wednesday, leave this turned off until wednesday morning. Once wednesday comes, turn this on and when you go into iWatchr to start your day logging, it will start keeping track from there. The "extra score" feature will reset automatically weekly or bi-weekly. It will notify you the time has elapsed and that it is resetting.

**Resets... This is where you determine when the extra score feature will do it's automatic reset. It can be set to "weekly" or "bi-weekly".

**Extra Score Allowed.... This is the allowed "extra" points you are allowing yourself. Make sure you have a number entered in here so the "extra score" feature can work correctly.

MISCELLANEOUS:

**Body Weight.... This option allows you to choose how you enter your body weight into the bonus calculator when trying to calculate bonus exercise points. You can use either pounds (lbs.) or kilograms (kgs.).

**Home Screen Badge..... This is the setting for turning on/off the home screen badge notification. This is the little red circle with a number in it on iWatchr's icon on your device's home screen. This badge, when on, can either display total points used so for "today" or total points remaining for "today".  To decide which one for it to display, change the "Display..." setting under History/Log. (**Important thing to remember... As per Apple, this badge can only display positive numbers not negative so if you have the "display" setting to "total left" and you go over your daily allowance for that day, the badge will not display anything**).

**Missed Days.... This enables/disables iWatchr's ability to account for days you may have missed automatically. If it has been more than a day since you last used iWatchr, with this turned on, it will alert you of this and ask if you want the days added.

**Use Decimals.... Turn this on to have your point calculations in the calculator show tenths of a point (i.e. '5.7'). If you are using the european version of the calculator, the total gets rounded off to the nearest half point. The American version doesn't do this. This also will display decimals in your daily logs for all your point totals.
