FitStar Personal Trainer is finally available on Android. The very popular video-based fitness app has been a huge hit on iOS where it received the Editors’ Choice Award, App Store Best of 2013, and Best of 2014 product.

This app is perfect for those who need some guidance on the best ways to conduct their workouts. That usually means spending a ton of dough on a personal trainer at the gym, but FitStar Personal Trainer offers something similar for a lot less money.

Personalized video sessions from NFL star Tony Gonzalez offer up coaching tips and motivation, along with instructions on exactly how to do each exercise. There are four goal-based programs: Get Strong, Get Lean, Get Moving, and Daily Dose. FitStar Personal Trainer also offers stand-alone workouts such as 10-Minute Abs and 7-Minute Workout.

Tracking your progress is key, an that’s why the app offers weekly and lifetime stats through the in-app dashboard. You will be able to see sessions completed, calories burned, and total workout time. You can track your progress from not only the Android app, but also using the web application on your desktop computer.

You can also share your session summaries and earned badges on many social channels directly from the app.

Those of you familiar with Fitbit will appreciate that the FitStar Personal Trainer syncs with your Fitbit account as well. You can also connect with popular devices and weight management apps like MyFitnessPal and Strava.

All of this costs just $8 per month or $40 per year. That’s less than what it would cost for a single personal training session.

Grab the app from Google Play here, and you can check out the web application here.

4 ways that Google Pixel phones can defeat Samsung in 2025
The Google Pixel 9 Pro XL lying by a plant.

When it comes to phones, it would be easy to consider Samsung as the best simply because of its sheer scale. However, look beneath the surface, and you’ll see a bubbling sense of competition. Samsung has failed to innovate and increase its healthy advantage, and the door is open for at least one company to provide a sustained challenge.

Google wants to be that company, and while I think there are better phones in certain categories, Google is the only phone maker that can compete with Samsung at every level. Samsung’s success comes from an ability to spend lavishly to reach its customers, and Google is the only company that can operate at that scale.

It really looks like the iPhone 17 is getting a 120Hz display next year
The lock screen on the iPhone 16.

One of the biggest criticisms of regular iPhones in recent years has been their lack of 120Hz displays, which have been available in the iPhone Pro models going back to the iPhone 13 Pro in 2021. For instance, the iPhone 16, though celebrated for being the best iPhone on the market, still operates at a 60Hz refresh rate like many of its predecessors. However, this is expected to change with the upcoming iPhone 17 series set to launch next year.

Industry insider Digital Chat Station is the latest to confirm that all iPhone 17 models will feature a “high refresh rate” display. This information aligns with a September report from display expert Ross Young, who clarified that the entire iPhone lineup will feature 120Hz displays next fall.

The iPhone SE 4 price just leaked, and it’s better than we expected
iPhone SE

While we know a lot about the iPhone SE 4, we haven't been able to nail down a solid estimate on its price. Now we have, and it's pretty awesome: the iPhone SE 4 is predicted to come in below $500.

Apple has been hard at work on its own in-house modem, and the iPhone SE 4 will be the first device to include that modem, according to a report from Naver. Since Apple is providing its own modem, it won't need to pay Qualcomm a fee for its 5G chips. The exact amount Apple pays Qualcomm isn't known, but it's a not-insignificant amount of money.
