"What I ate" is a reminder app which will assist you in your efforts to not overeat (and eat the right things). You take a photo of every meal you have with "What I ate" and it shows you the photos of the previous meals you had on that day. Now you can instantly tell whether you should eat something or better put it back in the fridge. Or you can see that you didnt have enough vegetables or fruits yet and eat one of those.
You can picture "What I ate" as part diary and part conscience - it will help you remember what you ate and thereby help defeat your inner weaker self. It will also help you stick to your dietary plan, but it wont patronize you.
The problem with this kind of apps is that they often are too complicated and take too much time to use. "What I ate" takes the minimalistic approach and comes without distracting features and lets you focus on your main goal: tracking your diet. You wont be hassled to count calories. You wont have to include information about where or with whom you had a specific meal.
The only thing you *have* to do is take a photo of your meal. "What I ate" will show you what you already ate today - thats it. It can only assist you, it cant do the heavy lifting for you.
Latest reviews of What I ate app for iPhone and iPad
I like the idea but it would be nice to be able two write in whats in the meal. Needs more to it. Like "this was breakfast" "this was lunch" etc
Very nice app precisely because of its simplicity. I just needed something to keep track of what Im eating and didnt want to go so far as blogging it which is what a lot of people do. For future versions, it would be great if the day of the week (Mon, Tue, Wed etc.) was on the calendar and also if you could see a week at a time, and a month etc. Thank you for the simple app!
It hangs up after you take a photo and it manages to get about 25% of the timestamps wrong. I simply reverted to using the camera
I just purchased this app and wish i didnt. As soon as I take the picture the app shuts off!
I love the simplicity of this app and it really helps me track my intake. I even take a shot of the scale each morning. It is usually slow to open and record pics, but lately doesnt open at all. I use the camera to snap a pic of the meal in front of a clock and insert in the app once its working. Hope they work out the bugs - its a handy tool.
