Just installed the H&D and I am very excited to have a slick app to track food. I have been looking for one for a while on the Blackberry. I've had to adjust to the BB; I'm a Palm guy at heart.
Anyway, I've noticed a few things and thought I would post them. They may be glitches or just my suggestions for future upgrades.
There are:
It is a little confusing to get started without a manual, but once you figure out the profile and how to start journaling for the day it's not bad.
The exercise tracker keeps reverting a session to 19 hours and 30 minutes after I've changed it to just 30 minutes twice. I'd love to burn 16,000 calories.
You can only have 2 summary lines at the top. I understand real estate issues, but it doesn't remember the 2 I want. Can you make this sticky? It always reverts back to Meals and Calories.
When I enter a custom meal/food, can I make this a favourite? I even tried in the food db, but it only searchs the db to create multi item meals. When I enter a custom food item, it would be great to have an checkbox to make it a favourite. I tend to add custom foods as I can create from the label and then just use them as favs. This would be very helpful.
WW points. Fabulous!! I've looked even longer for this! I used to use an old app on the Palm until WW themselves made them stop. H&D doesn't seem to auto calculate the points. I set the option to do this but it doesn't work. I need to enter the points myself. Am I missing something? Can you also have the main view show the points for each item?
Navigation on the BB is a bit clunky (yes I wish it was a touch screen like Palm!) Anyway, it doesn't seem consistant. Sometimes I need to click the app button to get to an OK screen when entering stuff. Other times, I can click cancel and I get a SAVE pop up. The radio buttons are the worst. After I fill a radio button, I have no idea what to do. BB norm is to click to activate, but H&D is to click app button. Maybe if you add a NEXT button on these radio button screens, at least then I would have some where to scroll and then click again.
Scrolling seems to be a bit much. You sometimes need to scroll all the way back to the top to change something and that's a long way. Maybe canceling and redoing the search? Still not pretty.
Editing a Meal -(actually, can you call it item or food? Meal tends to mean more than 1 item, I digress). The menu item to edit a Meal/food is Edit Activity and is confusing. If you're only going to have the one edit option, maybe call it Edit Item OR add a second option Edit Meal/food.
Graphs - can you graph other useful stats? Total calories and points per day?
That's all for now. I hope you take this as a sign that I really like what I'm seeing and that I would love to see it improve. I think this could be a great application.
Thank you!
