Easy to use, some helpful metrics

Updated September 2016 - I logged into my account only to discover all my carefully entered data stripped away & my account essentially closed. No renewal reminders were ever sent to me, and, moreover, the price has gone up from $60 per year to $84!!! Very disappointed.

Earlier 2015 review begins here: This app will only work if it is used conscientiously every day and you enter accurate food & exercise data. Do this, and you will learn over time how much you need to eat to maintain, gain or lose weight. I find the act of daily entry keeps me from mindless excess, and that is a good thing.

What I Like: 1. Copy-from-Day feature allows users to quickly enter foods or meals eaten often. 2. The app can be set to auto-adjust caloric requirements based on current weight & goals. 3. The food grading improvements, to straightforward letters, is much better than the numbers from -8 to +8, although there is still some work to do here.

What Needs Improvement: 1. Id like to be able to delete past custom foods entered into the DB. 2. Many contributed recipes are useless because users have not understood how to enter data so that the full nutritional profile is computed. 3. Scanning & Photo Food need work as nutritional labels are often rendered unclearly on packages, or the OCR codes are wrong. Also sometimes the custom food nutritional profile is not updated even days later. 4. We should have the ability to go back in time to any date rather than have to go day by single day. Since I have been using this for over a year, this would be helpful.

Overall, a great tool!
