Screened: the six best apps for fans of fitness, exercise experts and the hopeless with health.
The Eatery
This food tracker from Massive Health asks you to take photos of your meals. Rate them as fantastic or junktastic, add input from other users and you'll start to notice your bad eating habits to get a head start on fixing them.
iOS, Free
MyFitnessPal
A handy database covering calories for more than 1.3m food items. If your doctor has recommended an exercise or dietary plan, this tool can help you stick to it.
Android, iOS, Windows Phone, BlackBerry, Free
Baby Bump Pregnancy Pro
Tell the app your due date, then track your baby's development with weekly progress reports, a "kick counter" and advice. It can even update your Facebook profile when you go into labour.
Android, iOS, £2.49
WebMD
This bulging app bundles a symptom checker, first-aid guide, a drug and pharmaceutical database and listings for local health centres. You can also personalise it with pages relevant to you.
Sleep Cycle
Using your iPhone's movement sensor to analyse your sleeping patterns, this app wakes you at an optimal moment in a preset 30-minute window for that well-rested feeling. Sadly, it can't greet you with a cup of tea.

Eat, Chew, Rest
Do you eat too fast? This app will slow you down at mealtimes.
