Overall this app looks good and works smoothly. I like how easy it is to log your meals. I was curious to track my eating and sleeping habits and eager to contribute to the research. However, the app does not read my sleep data or fitness activities from Apple Health. I am unable to manually enter sleep data getting an error message that tells me to select my perceived sleep quality. But there is no option to do so. I am not going to use the app without an easy way to record sleep data (I am not willing to start my sleep tracking manually each night since my watch already tracks my sleep). Hopefully future updates will fix this issue.

I struggle to use this app. It's very slow and often freezes not allowing the camera feature or other logging features to work. Its slowness doesn't allow me to log my food in the moment. Overall taking pictures of my food has been the challenge because of the app crashing or not having an easy way to open the camera feature which works unreliably. More recently since the recent update, the app only allows me to log my food without taking a picture. After I save my food or beverage, the camera activates and I take a picture of my food that I just logged but it is not clear to me if the app is double logging my food or not or if this is the new way to log food in the recently updated app! Very frustrating. I will continue to use the app because I believe there is value in this study. I am a firm believer in healthy lifestyle choices and aim to fine tune my efforts to fast by using the feedback (although not accurate) logged here. I already eat quite healthy. I just want a record of my habits in one app. I know it's not 100% accurate, but for my needs at this time, this app seems to be the best choice. I hope the developers continue to improve the app. It has so much potential.

The app does well at tracking food and water intake. You can now add your weight and other health data. Before the update, I couldn’t add any health data. However when I add my weight in lbs it graphs the same number in kg, basically showing 2.2 times the recorded weight. I know that I put it in lbs cause it shows my weight in lbs in the window to add more “vitals” (“health data”) The sleep function is ok but somewhat glitchy. If you use the sleep now button when you wake up and try to write comments there is no way to exit the comment box so you just have to cancel the entry and remember your start and end sleep times and enter it manually. Also the app before the update let you start sleep after a 5, 10, 15, or 30 minute delay which I found more accurate because it takes me at least 10 minutes to fall asleep.

In addition to fiddling with the bug I describe below, I also took the time to write the following report from the apps built in “contact us” method. When I tried to submit it, I repeatedly got an error message saying to try again later. In general this app has been frustrating to navigate. As a personal developer myself, it feels thrown together. Here’s the bug description I tired to submit:“The app has a bug on iPhone were we cannot always log sleep in arrears. Even for correctly entered dates and times, the app incorrectly reports that the start time must be before the end time. We also cannot use the circular slider on the app to input time in arrears, as the app will wildly jump 3-4 days ahead if the start slider passes over 12 AM. Very annoying bug! Also, is there a good reason the text boxes in this application don’t allow for the typical aids, such as automatically starting sentences with capital letters, etc?”I expected more as I know Dr. Pandas lab behind the research is widely acclaimed.
