  3. Adding kcal burned on a workout

    When you select a workout, insted of just having the option of choosing minutes, you could add calories burned for that workout,

    For exampel, i do a lot of high intense weight lifting, and if i add it into the lifesum app i only have the option of choosing the amount of time my workout was, insted i would prefer the option to add my calories burned since im using a huawei watch gt to tack my burned calories depending on my heartrate, adding this feature would help those whom tack our burned calories this way.

    Thank you very much for your feedback!

    You find that option by clicking on “+”, choosing exercise, and then clicking on “Calories” under the search bar. You will then be able to just track calories and a title for the workout.

    Generally, you have the following options to track exercise:

  6. More warnings to not encourage eating disorders

    When user choose how many kilos to loose every week, a warning sign emerge if the user tap in less than 1200 calories.

    *Make it impossible to choose a calorie goal below 1200 calories.

    *Copy the warning text and do it as a pop up/window with a question "are you really sure you want to have a low calorie goal like this?" before they can enter the diary.

    *According to weight and height, make sure the user can not choose a weight goal below the limits for normal weight BMI (Is 18).

    *When user has tracked less than 1200 calories…

  8. Ability to add water after daily goal has been reached

    Once I've reached my daily water goal, I can't add any more via my iPhone (I can on the Watch).

    That's just silly! I don't stop drinking water once I reach my goal.

    We have changed the font recently and have since then received no more complaints about the readability. Please open a new article if this is still an issue, thank you!

  10. Most calorie apps with barcode scanner has a LIGHT control for phone flashlight. It's a must

    We have improved the overall performance of the scanner both on iOS and Android:

    - faster scanning
    - option to switch the flash on/off in the scanner window
    - if the scanner is unable to recognize a code you can now manually enter the code!
    - as requested by many the barcode beeping sound is now history :)

  11. 3d touch app for quick add

    It would be convienient to be able to 3d touch / force touch the app icon on the home screen and be given the option to : quick add food, quick add water, scan barcode, and see calories remaining etc.

  13. Incentive/reward tracker

    If you plan on losing a lot of weight, it is hard to keep motivated when looking at the overall number of kilos still to lose. Thus, it would be good, if you could set milestones yourself, like every 3kg or less than 100kg, etc. and also write down in that part of the app, how you want to reward yourself for reaching that goal.
    So every time I enter a new weight, the app could tell me "great, only 1.4 more kilos until you reach your goal XYZ and can reward yourself with ABC"

    Hey dear user,

    With the new profile page we have (next to the Diary tab in the bottom bar) we’ve implemented a milestone system for weight-loss/gain.

    Please try it out and provide your feedback to us!
    Best regards,
    Sebastian.

  15. Add a 6:1 diet option for those who have reached target weight

    Please add a 6:1 diet option for those who of us who have reached weight target but want the health benefits of fasting.

    This "six days eat, one day fast" approach for weight maintenance is recommended by Dr. Michael Mosley and Mimi Spencer in "The Fast Diet. The book describes the a variety of benefits of periodic fasting (25% of normal calorie intake).

  19. Quick barcode scan

    I would really like to be able to access the barcode scan from a widget.
    This would be useful in a supermarket to see if I really want to buy something, or during the day when I am hungry and trying to decide what item would be better for me to eat.
    At the moment, to access scanning, I have to open the app and act as though I want to add an item to a meal in order to get to the scanning function which isn’t really appropriate.
    I think the quick access to barcode scanning would be really…

    On iOS you get the option to scan directly from the homescreen by clicking on the logo for 1-2 seconds – you then see the barcode option

  20. Improve exchange with sHealth

    Ít would be great if it were possible to have the sHealth activity written in lifesum and all food written in sHealth, not just the amount of calories

    Hey dear user, this is actually now fixed. We do export food calories and import workouts from S Health.
