Fuel your next run with the new Runtasty healthy recipes app from Runtastic

Runtasty: Free Healthy Food & Recipes App
You can run all you want, but as fitness experts will tell you, that’s only half the battle when it comes to realizing your dream physique. The other half, of course, lies in your eating habits. And now, one company is trying to tackle both sides of the coin. Meet Runtasty — described as “your training plan’s best companion and your healthy cooking solution” — from Runtastic, the running, cycling, and fitness GPS tracker. So once you get done keeping tabs on your workout, you can easily pay heed to what you’re putting into your body.

The new app (free on both the Google Play Store and the App Store) promises to be “packed full of quick, simple, dietitian-approved recipes that require very minimal ingredients.” Looking to dispel the notion that a diet has to be limiting, Runtasty claims to be able to satisfy even the most persnickety of eaters with a wide range of food options.

For the last few months, Runtastic has actually been posting some of the recipes you can find on Runtasty on YouTube and its social media channels. But now, they’re all aggregated in a single, easy-to-access space. Within the app, you can find easy-to-prepare recipes that take a number of restrictions and preferences into consideration. Each recipe comes with video instructions for a true step-by-step experience, and you can find other how-to videos for useful skills like how to properly cut an onion or how to cook a perfect steak.

Recipes can be filtered by 23 categories, which include options for gluten-free eaters, high-protein seekers, and folks on the run (meals ready in 15 minutes or less). And when you find one you love, you can easily save it in the app for quick access the next time you’re in a pinch. Better still, all recipes are free and available in English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, and Portuguese, so you’re taken care of no matter what your mother tongue may be. So if you need some help in the kitchen, you may want to download the free Runtasty app today.

What’ll happen to your WhatsApp account if you don’t agree to new privacy policy
WhatsApp

WhatsApp recently announced it would be changing its privacy policy, in a move that has many users worried about how much of their data will be shared with WhatsApp's parent company, Facebook. Now, the service has revealed what will happen to the accounts of users who don't agree to the new policy by the May 15 deadline.

TechCrunch contacted WhatsApp for more details on what would happen to users' accounts if they didn't agree to the new privacy policy. It reports that WhatsApp will "slowly ask" its users to agree to the new privacy changes, warning that they need to do so to continue having full access to the app's features. Users who decline to accept the new policy will be able to continue using the app for a few weeks, but only in a limited way. “For a short time, these users will be able to receive calls and notifications, but will not be able to read or send messages from the app,” the company told TechCrunch.

Facebook often releases experimental tools to test the waters for new features and services. Its latest, an app called Whale, lets you create your own memes from scratch. According to a report by The Information, the social network debuted the app on the Canadian iOS app store last week.

Similar to other run-of-the-mill meme creators, Whale comes with a standard set of annotation features that let you add elements such as text, emojis, and filters over images. You can capture a new picture, pick from your personal gallery, or import from the app’s built-in stock library. In addition, Whale’s listing calls out a few popular meme apps by claiming it doesn’t have any "hidden subscription pricing."

Gradient App

If you’ve been on Facebook or Twitter this week, you’ve probably come across Gradient, the popular, new photo app that takes a picture of your face and tells you what celebrity you look like. After being available for barely a week, the app has been downloaded more than 1 million times.
Like many other sudden phenomenons, the app might not be exactly what it looks like at first glance. After FaceApp went viral despite having a questionable approach to privacy, you likely want to be careful when you share your face. Here’s what you need to know about Gradient:

What is Gradient?
Gradient is essentially a photo-editing app. Similar to VSCO and Faceapp, the app allows you to edit pictures.
The app went viral because of its You Look Like ... feature, which takes your photo and then transforms it through a four-step transition into an image of a celebrity.
The app is brand new, but it's already the No. 1 photo and video app in the App Store.
