- Move it! – handy app that reminds users to get up and move about if they haven’t been active in the last hour.
- Openrider – GPS Cycling Riding – provides tracking and mapping of cycle routes.
- Running Buddies – enables runners to share their runs and stats with those around them so that they can find other runners similar to themselves to go running with.

- Walkholic – provides another way to see Google Fit walking, cycling and running data. It supports notifications if preset goals aren’t met.
Both the grand prize winners and the runner ups will be receiving some great devices from Google’s challenge partners to help with their ongoing fitness app development: the X_CELL and SPEED_CELL from adidas, a new Android Wear device, a Loop activity tracker with a H7 heart rate sensor from Polar, and a Smart Body Analyzer from Withings.
