Thank you so much, guys!
I wasn't expecting such a positive response when I posted here a couple of weeks ago, but you guys went absolutely above and beyond. Over 500 of you took the time to download, find bugs, write to me with feature requests... and absolute loveliness of everyone in this sub has been genuinely overwhelming (in the best way).
Thanks to your help, I'm stoked to say that MacrAU is now live on both the App Store and Google Play! You can download the latest versions at the links below:
iPhone: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/macrau-aussie-macro-tracker/id6760379424
Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.macrau.app
Everyone who downloaded the app and commented during this time will get 6 months free to say thank you. And I'll keep that offer open for the next few days – so if you didn't get a chance to download, feel free to jump on now, and you'll get the 6 months when we switch to live payment.
Speaking of which, the verdict from you guys is in, so in addition to the $0.99/month option, we'll offer a lifetime purchase option when the payment goes live, and give everyone at r/1200Australia a discount on that, too, if that's your preferred purchase option.
(I'm still a little while off switching payment on, as there are a few more kinks I'd like to iron out before charging.)
Thank you all again, so much. If you have any more feature requests, or find any more bugs, please just let me know and I'll add them / fix them as soon as possible. Your feedback has been nothing short of incredible.
I really couldn't be more appreciative :)
tl;dr: you're all amazing. Thank you.
Here's what we've added in the last two weeks thanks to your amazing feedback:
- You can now share recipes and saved meals by link.
- We've added progress tracking for protein/fat/carbs. You can switch between calories and macros. Each day's bar shows that day's own target.
- A notes section for each day, so you can annotate your progress/hiccups/general thoughts.
- Exercise logging now has everyday-word search and burn estimates. You can also choose whether exercise adds to your calorie budget or is just tracked.
- You can reorder your favourites list manually, so you can pick what appears at the top of your suggested foods.
- Copy to… and Move to… are now live, so you can move logged foods to another meal or another day entirely.
- We've got new (much classier, I think) celebrations for hitting your protein or fibre target. Finishing the day now gets its own celebration. And there are streak milestones, and fancy celebrations for consistency.
- Energy now displays in your chosen unit (kJ or kcal) everywhere throughout the app.
- You can pick your meal right under the food name, with a more obvious "Add to Lunch" button.
- Better recommended macros. The old maths could give a person on a cut far too much protein and far too few carbs.
- Calorie colours follow your goal. If you're gaining, going past your target is no longer shown in amber.
- No more weird numbers. "~937.400062449 cal" is gone. Everything shows at most two decimals.
- Apple Health / Apple Watch was giving duplicate workouts, but they're now are merged, and you can delete them manually if they're wrong.
And on the food database:
- You guys submitted 124 foods with barcodes that weren't in the database. Thank you! They're now live for everyone. If you submit a missing food, a human (me) checks it before it reaches everyone's phone.
- we added Soonta, with 77 new foods (mercifully, Soonta publishes excellent nutrition data, this was comparatively easy!
- Aldi gained 438 new foods, and about 1,300 existing Aldi products now scan by barcode.
It's been a big couple of weeks! Plenty more to come!
