How does this work?
Clicking the “Test drive now” button launches a copy of this app on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), a web service that provides on-demand compute capacity in the cloud for developers. When you interact with the simulated phone using your mouse and keyboard, we send those inputs over the Internet to the app running on Amazon EC2 — just like your mobile device would send a finger tap to the app. Our servers then send the video and audio output from the app back to your computer. All this happens in real time, allowing you to explore the features of the app as if it were running on your mobile device.

Easily access your personalized program
If you're serious about increasing your strength, follow this six week training program and you'll soon be on your way to completing 100 consecutive push-ups. Think there's no way you could do this? You can! All you need is a good plan, plenty of discipline, and about 30 minutes a week to achieve your goal.
No doubt there are those of you out there that can already do 50 consecutive push-ups, but let's face it, you're in a big minority. Most people will only be able to do 5, or 10, or 20. Or maybe you've tried the "good-form" push-ups, but can only manage one or two before you drop to the floor, exhausted. Don't be despondent; several alternative options exist which will still enable you to follow the Hundred Pushups plan.
Visualize your success
Why Push-Ups?
The main aim of the Hundred Pushups program is to improve your overall strength, fitness, and general health. Push-ups are one of the most basic exercises for the human body. Not only are they great for your chest, they do a tremendous job of defining your abs, triceps, shoulders, and torso. Best of all, push ups can be performed no matter where you are and are completely free--no need to buy expensive equipment or pay gym fees.
The Program
The Hundred Pushups program begins with an initial performance test. Simply do as many good form push-ups as you possibly can and input the number to view a six-week program customized for your skill level. Don't cheat on your initial test! While the results may be humbling, being honest will ensure you get the best strengthening plan that will help you stick with it!
About the App
The official Hundred Pushups app by SoftwareX brings all the features of the online program to the convenience of your Android device. Enter the number of official push-ups and you will be on your way to starting the program. Tap to see how many push-ups your first set should contain and then tap to initiate the rest timer--a countdown to the next set for that day! You can change the number of sets you completed if it differed from the standard program and update Facebook or Twitter with your daily success. Track your progress under Logs & Graphs and get tips for each week. The app also includes detailed information on how to complete a good form push-up.
Please note that the Hundred Pushups Android app should be seen as a companion, rather than a replacement, to the website. It simply offers daily convenience at the touch of an icon!

Oddly enough, I just started the 100 pushups program after seeing this app in the store, but I wasn't willing to pay for it since you can get information on the program and documents to chart your progress for free on the Internet. But since the app was free today I thought I'd give it a shot. I does have the basic structure of the program mapped out, with a handy automatic timer built in for your rest periods, and a graph to chart your performance. I could do this on paper, certainly, but it will be more convenient to have it on the phone - particularly at the end of the workout when my arms are rubber and it's a chore just getting off the floor, much less writing a bunch of stuff down.
The obvious drawback here is that there's no explanation of what you're doing. There's no summary of the program, and there's no indication that the last set of each workout is meant to be done to exhaustion - the number listed for the last set is the minimum number you're supposed to do. I don't know yet if the app takes into account the performance tests you're supposed to take at the end of weeks 2, 4 and 5, but I would assume that it does; if it doesn't then there's really no point. Even so, while the app seems handy for tracking your progress, you're still going to have to spend a little time online to figure out what you're supposed to do.

Love it on my Droid X. On week 2, this app is keeping me accountable. Nice tool that does what it says.

I see its usefulness, but it is confusing to use and not customizable

This is a decent idea, trying to motivate you into doing 100 pushups at once without stopping. A worthy goal for anybody who wants to be considered healthy. You do an initial test to see how many pushups you can do and it then does a 6-week workout schedule to get you to 100 pushups at once.
First of all, this app is VERY confusing. There are no instructions and it is hard to tell what it is the app is trying to tell you. After using it for a few days I've begun to understand what it is trying to do but I can see why so many people will give up on the app easily enough.
Another thing I don't like is that it isn't very customizable. I don't think exercise can be easily put into a one-size fit all solution for everybody. For instance, I think I could get to 100 pushups in less than 6 weeks if I work at it. However, this doesn't give you the option to speed things up or slow things down. Also, what if my goal is something beyond 100 pushups, or less. I wish I could program it to get me to 250 pushups at once in 10 weeks. That is something that I would rather shoot for. Or for some people I know, 100 is a pipe-dream no matter how hard they work for 6 weeks. For some, getting to 50 would be a real, solid accomplishment. But again, there is no option for that.
It ran fine and didn't crash or freeze on my EVO 4G. I just think they need a better interface and add the ability to customize your workout more in order for this to be better appreciated.

crashes at the end of WK6
I have used it on three Nexus models and after getting to the wk6, last workout, it crashes all the time. In order to use it again has to be uninstalled and start from scratch.

Its OK
The book is well written. the program is straight forward. The app is OK but you can track progress on paper just as well. It is still a good value.
