Our team of developers have launched a new app to the App Store.

The app is for logging the food you eat and calculating calories and nutrients on it. You do that by taking a picture of the food and the app recognizes it automatically using image recognition algorithms and artificial intelligence (because sometimes different foods have similar appearances in the picture).

It comes in two versions:

1). Paid Version (that is discounted during the first 2 weeks).
http://itunes.apple.com/app/id903009481

2). Free Version (that has ads and the limit of storing information during 1 day and 10 products).
http://itunes.apple.com/app/id903011345

If you are into getting the new things first you could consider downloading the Free Version so you can see how it works.

Regards,

Nutrition Log App Team

    Android?

      In the future for Android, not now.

    Does it figure out how big the serve is? For example if I take a picture of a massive bowl of spaghetti, will it know that it is more than '1 serving' and calculate the carbs etc based on it being 2.1 servings or whatever it is?

      You do that in this way:
      1). You take a picture.
      2). You tap with your finger where the food is in the picture.
      3). You choose between different suggestions that the app provides you.
      4). The app shows you suggestions about the weight of the product, but you can enter the weight if you know it.

    Prove it works.

    The images of the app don't include any of it actually recognising food, instead only including a bunch of ugly graphs. The only image is of it somehow recognising white rice, and it doesn't even differentiate between cooked or raw rice, which will make a huge difference in calculating Calories and macronutrients. Not to mention it's unable to tell you how MUCH of that food there is. And entering that manually will take as much time as choosing the food anyway.

    Not worth the discounted price. And using OzBargain as advertising.

    • AssociatedNutrition Log App @ Apple App Store on 16/08/2014 - 14:14

      There are only 5 images that can be put in the app description on the App Store. A person from marketing suggested putting those 5 images. Our team will review your suggestion and maybe we change the images in the future. Any comment is appreciated.

      Our team expected that the persons always will eat cooked rice. But the users can add "raw rice" to the app if they eat it.

      You said "Not to mention it's unable to tell you how MUCH of that food there is.", in the image put in the App Store description you can't see that, that's right, but the app can suggest you that. The app doesn't "tell" you the things, instead it is more appropriately to say that the app "suggests" you.

      You said "And entering that manually will take as much time as choosing the food anyway.", yes you are right, but when the app was tested the app saved time to the persons that used it, the idea of this app is that: To save time.

      You said "Not worth the discounted price.", respectfully we would disagree because how much is it worth to have good nutrition, for example, lower cholesterol ?

    I do not see how this will properly give you the right statistics for the meal.

    Would you recognise every ingredient that went in, the type of sauce to the brand?

    If this were on android, you could have a two hour window to test it. Even then, I wouldn't want to risk using $9.99

    I am afraid of what you would normally charge.

  • Xetrok on 16/08/2014 - 14:13

    Oh look, here's a "FREE" version of their app.

    Dear lord this app looks horrible. $10 discounted price? Are you crazy?

    • Graffin on 16/08/2014 - 18:32

      On what planet is this a bargain?

      Since people love taking photos of food and posting them on Facebook, just snap a pic of everything you eat and get others to calculate the nutritional information for you… simples!

  • tanabe88gg on 16/08/2014 - 14:29

    This looks awful
    How do I submit a complaint to the app store? I'm pretty sure there's rules about this sort of thing

    I'm no wordsmith but I am of the understanding that in the context you are using

    never seen before

    Should actually be "never before seen"

    In my opinion this app looks like it was developed by a primary school kid and some enterprising adult thought they could make some money out of it. Just being honest. Sorry

    Comic Sans MS!!!

  • ashtrayc2c on 16/08/2014 - 21:58

    the idea is there.
    you just need A LOT more work on the app before you can pawn it off to justify a "7.99" USD price as a discount.
    as of right now, its in its own bucket of "no".
    good luck.

  • bongom on 17/08/2014 - 14:18

    Plenty of free apps on the market that use a bar scanner to accurately log food. Only have to do this once and your meals are saved for future recording.

    • AssociatedNutrition Log App @ Apple App Store on 17/08/2014 - 18:53

      But that only works with the food that comes with a bar code. Fruits, for example, don't usually come with bar code, nor the food that you buy in a restaurant.

    You need to take peoples negative opinions into consideration and change it to something productive. Your app is shit for a reason. make it better and let it speak for you instead of trying to debunk every negative comment at the start of the apps life span. thats what the updates are for. updates on app iteration. don't give up, a good app takes time to develop and is more than just an idea.
