I feel like that is there biggest weakness, they are too big. There is lots of room for advancement in this area and they are far too comfortable. There calorie counter is also critically flawed, when a user plateaus and stops losing weight they are left in the dark, also they may not lose any weight at all based on there estimate and carry on eating the incorrect number of calories for far longer than they should, this happened to me personally before I built Poundaweek. Also the amount of calories the other apps recommend is static, and only adds calories based off of very flawed estimates of calories burned from exercises. Poundaweek learns and adjusts dynamically and specifically for each individual user as well as letting you know why and what you can do to keep on track towards your goal.
- blizkreeg 10y agoI feel like you're up against an app that's synonymous with tracking food/calories. However, if your app does indeed do what you say well, you have something. However, in my opinion, initially you would be better off going after users who don't use MFP or any app than convincing them to convert. Though I'm only a two-week user of MFP, there's too much switching cost I feel. And I'd really have to hear good things about it from others/in the news to convince me to switch at this point.
- jkhtaria 10y agoI'm going after anybody that wants to lose weight safely and consistently, the people that don't know how much of what to eat every week and the people that get stuck after using other calorie counters. Simply put Poundaweek works and continues to work - It was built out my own frustrations with the other calorie counters that stop working or never worked at all.
