Clunky But Unique
So Ive been playing with this for an hour and seriously considering if I should try and get a refund.
Its unfortunate that other high end fitness apps still do not incorporate adding selfies so you can compare your own before and after photos.
Not gonna lie, there are a LOT of cons for buying this app in 2015 but since its one of the only ones that does what it does, I bought it. If I had known it wouldnt work properly, I wouldnt have. This should just be taken down.
Pros
- unique app that lets you keep track of your progress photos WITH the data (weight, measurements) stored with each photo
- does not clutter up your photos on your phone
Cons
- hasnt been updated since 2012 and is very, very, clunky--it feels like it was made for the original iPhone. Im using in October 2015 with an iPhone 6s Plus and there are issues
- does not crop photos correctly...if I had known this didnt work I wouldnt have paid $$ for this app since comparing before and after photos was the whole reason I bought it. I want to compare the same cropped cross section across all photos. If I cant get a refund Im going to have to figure out a better mirror setup so my photos are already proportioned correctly.
- esoteric UI
- no iCloud support
- no way to keep your data across phones (this is RIDICULOUS and upsetting, especially considering you have to pay for this app. Im basically getting one year usage out of this till I upgrade till my next phone)
- too expensive for what it does. Even if it worked perfectly and updated regularly I would value it at 99 cents considering the minimal amount of features it provides. As it is (with bugs and no updates) it should be free.
TIP
- I put in my measurements and added four photos: front, right side, left side, backside. I added my measurements for the first photo and the rest I just added the photos and it stored the measurements from the same day. Plan on doing this once a week if I keep the app.
Overall Im just desperate to find something else that does what it does. Without bugs. Soon.
