Hey there !

Thanks for your great app

I want to suggest you a different way to measure progress in weightloss.

Since there can be a problem in measuring only the weight (drinking more/less before the measurement, going to restroom, ...)
i want to ask you to include a alternative weightloss measurement.

User can add the circumfences of both legs and both arms and the waist circumfence,
and your cool app sums them up und displays it also on the weight chart as an alternative index

Also a fancy feature would be a reminder to weight/measure(

) yourself.

Best regards, Marko

Nice app! I support the suggestions above.
Already sent an email for Dutch translation.

I think it's a cool app.

A suggestion would be to make some kind of possibility to calculate/diagram weightchange on a week or month basis.
Then it would be easier to get a picture of whether the weight is going in the right direction or not.
Right now I miss the overview a bit..

Sometimes it's better to keep it simple. Keep in mind what the name of the app is. There's a lot of fitness/tracking apps already..

It doesn't rotate, that should change.

x feet isn't accepted without 0 inches.

I have light grey text on a white background, a bit hard to read (when entering weight).

The text, when entering weight, is way too small.

When adding weight the Time says "Set manually" on the button, but it isn't clear as it doesn't show the current time pre-entered (or listed).

If Set manually is tapped in the adding weight, it doesn't allow going back to the current time (not too big of a deal, but still an imperfection in the program).

When entering weight, it should have the keyboard already up.

When the keyboard is up to enter weight it blocks the OK button so one has to hit the back button on the phone to get the keyboard out of the way to tap OK (return on the keyboard doesn't work, which is not really an issue?)

I *really* like that you have the phone pad (mainly #'s) keypad popup when entering the weight, which should be a # (as "too much" is hard to graph

. I wish more programs did that!

I haven't used it yet, just installed and launched it, so hopefully more later! So far it is looking useful (don't let my comments dishearten you, feedback means I care enough to provide it).

Perfect! I need to stop being a fatty.

I do find it very odd that it doesn't do portrait orientation though. I've never seen an app that didn't default to portrait, or at least support it!

Thanks to all for all your suggestions!!!
Lot of work right now, but I'm taking notes of all of them, and will try to implement then as soon as possible

There are some of them which I think it might complicate a bit the use of the application... but I will consider putting something like advance tab, and add the options there, thought that I will do in my free time, and don't have so much free time right now

Great! Finally an alternative to the abandoned Weight Journal app. It might not be as "pretty" but it's not the most important thing I guess.

I will just need to migrate my data and as this is open source I will be able to add online syncing !

When I find some time I will try to contribute Google Spreadsheets syncing.

If you don't have enought time, and you find something pointing about google spreadsheets syncing, I could do it and add it to the project

Perfect! Found it at a perfect moment: just as I started my diet. First change in the graph: a steep 5 lbs drop (yay!)

If anything comes up with the app, I'll let you know!

Well, all you really need is here: http://code.google.com/apis/spreadsheets/

I haven't worked with this API, but given how the Google Maps API works this shouldn't be a problem

I will try to find some free time to check on it ;D

aitorTheRed · Apr 20, 2011

Hi! I haven't forget this

But currently I'm with a bit of work, so I'm not having so much free time, but I'm still working on it ;D

Here's more (I don't repeat unfixed issues I listed previously):

Problems:

Unlabled Y axis
Starts at right side of screen
No 0 on scale (or not enough span) makes early entries alarming (steep slope for even minor change)
About box doesn't include version number
Scale auto-adjusts even when swiping around
Numbers generally too small
Export to png then goes to Share file (OK if pick says "Export to png & share" or some such). Perhaps Share as a separate menu, then it asks what to share (PNG, ODS, etc).
When going over the preset max weight it says "You are over the weight!", "the" needs to be specified, e.g. "You are over the max weight!"

Suggestions:

Have some way to sort by time of day (e.g. morning weigh-ins versus evening weigh-ins)
Allow marking chart with comments (e.g. "Vacation on cruise ship")
Pinch and zoom
Show for Y axis the max and goal weights as max/min (or min/max)
Should have a Weight alert that isn't maximum but is minimum (some people have the opposite problem to most of us)

Likes:

The existance of the program
The export & import
The license
The BMI calculation
The 7 day average
The automatic time entry
More... (the above are what is most noticable to me)

Don't feel I'm being pushy or whiny at all--I really appreciate you doing this and I understand what side projects are. You asked for feedback, and I like your utility, so I figure I should provide my feedback

Thanks for your feedback. It's greatly appreciate

I just hope to find time

Hope to provide an update soon ;D

aitorTheRed · Jul 7, 2011

Found a bit of free time again

New version with minor changes. Lot of things to do yet, I don't forget your suggestions!

rmcsc · Jul 7, 2011

Works great. Looks good on a tablet (Xoom).

One thing though: tried to install from the Market instead of using the apk found here and it certainly doesn't support tablets. I guess it hasn't updated yet?
