Active Arcade App Review
Active Arcade is an interactive exercise and game app that uses body movements to score points. Most games are based on sports like goalkeeping skills in soccer and dribbling skills in basketball. You burn calories while having fun. We love this app. It’s a game for everyone of every age.
Active Arcade combines exercise and play. Most activities does not need any equipment at all. You just need to download the Active Arcade app to an iPhone or an iPad. Open the app and choose your exercise… or play. It is not yet available in Android but their website says it is being developed as well.
The activities are easy to follow. Some may require mastery but that’s part of the fun. I find most of the activities to be familiar since they are inspired by sports or drills I used to do in school.
Our favorites in Active Arcade are the Flash Feet and Reaction. We love the Versus mode. We try to outscore each other in the game. The solo mode is great too. You can compete with other players around the world in the leaderboards.
Most activities are only 1-minute long. For some activities, I wish there is an option to choose how long each activity will last. I would also like to group the activities into sets with a rest period in between sets. That will make it into a nice HIIT workout.
The game is probably designed for adults. I just need to move my hands or stretch out a little to hit the moves. Kids on the other hand may need to reach further or move further to hit the goals and make the score. Some kids may enjoy that though.
Overall, the Active Arcade is a promising exercise app. There are plenty of possibilities with the app. In fact, new activities are being added regularly. I am excited to try out the new ones.
Active Arcade is available for FREE in iOS. An Android version will be available soon.
