Comments
Progress Entry
I emailed the developer today because a recent update broke access to the progress function. Previously there was a picker used to enter weight. Now, it's a slider that VO does not appear to see.
Hopefully they will address this in a future update.
Couldn't even finish the signup process
I just downloaded this app I thought I was going to b able to use it, but I couldn't even finish the signup process.
I was able to choose my gender and date of birth. Although the buttons to choose your activity level aren't labeled, I assumed what they were and chose one.
All was fine and good until I had to choose my height and weight, which is the picker issue mentioned in the previous comment. I hope they fix this soon because I am really interested in using this app.
Previously Good
While there are a bunch of unlabelled buttons, this app has bee quite accessible. I have been using it for about 6 months, and this change is the first real issue I have encountered. I have my fingers crossed.
any news about accessibility of this app?
hi! i figured i'd check this app out, but after reading the comments, i'm not so sure anymore...
any news about the broken accessibility of this app yet? has it been fixed?
Accessibility
I use the app daily Yes, it has a couple poorly labelled buttons. No, you can't put in your weight through the app. But overall, it's easy to use and works well.
Not Particularly Happy with the Usability of This App
I gave this app a quick once-over using an iPhone 6 with iOS 9.2.1. The real issues I encountered were when I tried to add foods to my meals of the day. For some reason, I kept going back to January 3rd rather than the current day. I also found it hard to reliably review the information I had previously entered for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. There were heading indicators for each meal, but the rotor didn't take me to each heading reliably. Admittedly, I didn't give this app much of a chance, but my current impression is that I'm not willing to fuss with this app as much as I would need to in order to make it work for me. That is a shame, because I know that this app is very popular among the sighted community, and I would really like to have used it.
Not That Bad
I have been using the app for almost a year. Yes, it has a couple quirks, but they are not show stoppers for me.
The app has the all too common issue where swiping will not scroll the screen to sections not currently displayed. Rather than trying to navigate by rotor and headings, I scroll the screen with three finger swipes. There are about two pages, so if I am adding breakfast or lunch, I know I need the top page. Adding Dinner, snacks, and exercise is on the lower screen.
I am not sure where you are getting the odd calendar issue. By default, the app will open with the current date. It is possible to move to previous, or future dates by doing three finger right and left swipes. i have never needed to get to anything else so i am unaware of a way to directly enter dates, and hence don't know how you are getting where you are...
On a positive note, the developers have been responsive, and have fixed accessibility problems when they are made aware of them.
Finiky app
I could not agree more with the last person to have made comment regarding this finiky app. It sounds great but it is so fussy, finding the appropriate meal and add food button is really a crap shoot, the date in my diary seems to like January for some reason, and seeing an overview of the days calories is really troublesome. I have yet to figure out how to track my exerciseet. I do like the way it reads bar codes but unfortunately, this app makes something tedious into a real bother....and I have given it 2 weeks of my time. most frustrating of all is when I go through all that effort and enter my days meals and then go back to finish entering something and it is all gone! Every bit of it. Cant tell you how many times I have re-entered all mmy food intake. Too bad for it really has a marvelous database and sighted peeps must really rock it.,

The developer recently released V.19 to address the issues relating to progress entry and the weight picker
Accessibility status update?
Hi,
How is the accessibility of this app as of today?
In addition to tracking food, can I also track water intake, and workouts/exercise?
Thanks for any info this wonderful community can provide.
I'm still using the app. It…
I'm still using the app. It is a very accessible experience in my maintenance phase.
You can track exercise, and it even provides some in app exercises. I don't know about water tracking, but that's because I don't require that.
water tracking
Yes, you can track water. I am so terrible about being hit or miss with using the app, but when I do, I track water. Sometimes, I have to scroll the diary screen to find it, but it can be done.
Haven't Tried the App But...
Hi all. I haven't yet tried out this app, but their website looks pretty good with VO. Thought I had registered previously, but it's not written in the journal entry where I keep that sort of thing. But earlier today at my work-out session, the 2 trainers who were on duty had a lovely talk with me about my health/fitness goals. Nutrition/diet is one of them, and they highly recommended My Fitness Pal. Apparently it works well with TruCoach, which they use for logging clients' sessions. I'll give this a go, and in addition Apple's native health app doesn't seem bad. If the journaling function built into MyFitnessPal doesn't work for me, I always have Dreamwidth to fall back on. Same goes for MFP's bar-code scanner and the respective apps I have. Btw, I believe this directory entry needs to be slightly altered as MFP is actually free with in-app purchases.
