Display issue on certain iPhones

My first impression on being shown a graph showing my steps with no legend at the bottom wasn’t a good one. I soon realised that the days of the week were there but were obscured by a section of the screen on my model of phone that can’t display anything. If I scrolled up to the next screen I could see the days as the screen moved up. Having to scroll up and down to see this is more trouble than it’s worth for me. I’ll keep looking at the app though

Nice Idea, but Too lacking

I like the idea and I think it’s obvious it shouldn’t be taken as gospel, like it’s a bit of fun to give you an idea. Anyone treating this as a serious guide is fooling themselves I think.

But I think the app is lacking too much. There’s no menu that I can see, no way to tell the app to sync with health or other things. This in turn means the step count for me is inaccurate compared to my others.

I like the idea but I think it;

1. Should be linked to Lifesum. I was surprised you didn’t login with the same account
2. Have a menu that you can see linking etc
3. I guess if not the above maybe let you manually update the steps it thinks? But this would quickly be a pain

1.* EDIT: I found a “connect to Lifesum” button but it appears to do nothing but open Lifesum.. which seems pointless

I hope this app gets updated because I like Lifesum, and I think this could be kinda neat.

Clever and fun little app, but it doesn’t connect to LifeSum

This is a fun way to augment your fitness and diet regime, but I can’t get it to connect to LifeSum. If you touch the link the connect the two it just opens the LifeSum app and then nothing happens.

Shocking

Fat shaming at its best. This app feeds into body shaming, and is highly like to affect people with body image issues and associated eating disorders. So disappointed and angry that apps and other info is still around today, shockingly poor insight.

Fitbit integration please

Downloaded this app as it looked like it would be useful to tie the step count in with food, sadly now deleting the app as it does not include fitbit steps only the steps counted on my phone.
