UA Record, introduced at CES 2015, is Under Armour's impressive attempt to claw back the gap between itself and the likes of Nike in the realm of fitness apps. The app allows users to sync all their different fitness devices and apps onto an open platform.
The app is equipped with a variety of health and fitness tracking tools and can connect you to a digital community of fitness junkies with whom you can share your progress and compete for bragging rights. You can compete with specific social media connections in customized health and fitness challenges, and share photos and videos of your progress.
Every fitness junkie is also secretly (or openly) a gear junkie; that being the case, the UA Record features a handy tab that lets you buy Under Armour gear to help you perform and look better.
UA Record is available for download iTunes and Google Play.
