Amazing, simple app that does what every app should: one thing well.

I think good apps are deceptively challenging. It’s hard to do one thing well. This app does it.

This app takes the hand portion method and keeps it as simple as it’s meant to be; its visual and aesthetic, and it tracks what you need without being overstimulating and full of other features.

I contacted the developer with feature requests and he responded quickly and compassionately.

I recommend this app to anyone who is looking for a hand portion tracker.
