US Army APFT–Body Fat Calculator (Free)
If your dad is an extremely active man or former soldier, challenge him to a physical fitness test of the highest rigor with the free US Army APFT–Body Fat Calculator app. You will take turns recording your sit-ups, push-ups and runs, and then take measurements to see if your body fat percentage passes or fails the Army’s standards. It would be fun to make this an annual tradition and get a healthy bet going with your dad to see who can pass the Army test each year with a better score.
Tracks (Free)
If you have a sentimental dad who may even have an iPhone of his own, create a Father’s Day track with the free Tracks app. This is ideal for children who can’t be near their beloved dad on Father’s Day weekend and for those with family spread out across the world. Simply start a Father’s Day track and send to additional family members and friends to add photos and memories of dad. Then once every one contributes, send to your dad for him to enjoy. The track is saved to a secure website for non-iPhone users to enjoy as well.
