Would be great if

I enter a user name to get started and the keyboard stays put!! Can't see a thing or navigate. But what a great idea.

Ha, got a big foot and thanks to this app I've found areas to improve. Soon I'll have a huge foot print!

Good idea, needs work

This app would be much better if it covered a more comprehensive array of environmentally-impactful lifestyle choices (other forms of transportation such as bus or train, for example), and if it had time-frame options, so that you could track your lifestyle choices over an ongoing period of time. Additionally, the information screen is WAY too long and should be divided up based on which screen you are accessing it from.
