Apps using iPhone 5s M7 motion coprocessor

In September 2013, Apple announced the new iPhone 5s. The big news, a part from iOS7 itself, was the fingerprint scanner to unlock the device. However, we should also pay attention to the all new iPhone 5s M7 motion coprocessor.

What is the iPhone 5s M7 motion coprocessor?

The iPhone 5s M7 motion coprocessor is a new chip that gathers motion data from multiple sensors (such as accelerometer, gyroscope, and compass) and combines that information to determine a body motion. This is basically taking care of most of the leg work (pun intended :) ) that many fitness apps currently have to deal with.
