Nokia had an experimental app back in the days of the Nokia N8 called Wellness Diary it was an excellent step counter with food intake logging and general health advice.

Nokia switched to Windows Phone and soon there after the Wellness Diary beta got closed with no option to keep the app running.

This is why when Nokia announced the Lumia 1520 with a step counter in Glance screen I was over come with joy, I love motion tracking apps and I just bought a Fitbit (I’m kind of mad I only found out about this app after my purchase!)

here’s some screenshots and extensive info by Nokia Beta labs team.

We understand that this app is 3 months old now, but it only came to our attention now and as we never reported it back then, it seemed fit we do now that the Lumia 1520 is actually worldwide. 🙂
