Take into account families
I have to cook for my 3 kids, me, and my husband. It’d be nice to take parenting into account in the quiz. I’d love to try the meal plans but I can’t cook two meals for every breakfast, lunch and dinner and I can’t afford to shop for separate meals for me and my family.
I feel like no diet app does this well. You have to sign up and pay and then when you get in and realize that it doesn’t take into account that you have a family and the plans aren’t realistic for parents.
I’m also frustrated that I can’t create my own recipes on the desktop version. It takes so long to enter recipes on my phone. Time I really don’t have. I also hate that I don’t have the option to choose the amount of an ingredient for a recipe. If I’m using a cup and a half of an ingredient, that ingredient will most likely just have teaspoon, tablespoon, or ounce - again, I don’t have time to look up the conversions and also be looking up the recipe - all on my phone.
So here are my must haves:
1. Allow users to create and save recipes on the desktop version
2. Allow users to be able to log from the desktop version
3. Be inclusive to users who work and have families -take time and money into account and don’t assume your customers can make separate meals for themselves and their families
4. If I have a vegetable or fruit in my meal - that should automatically log fruits or vegetables- making a user have to log that twice is a little ridiculous and it’s a bit lazy on the part of the app design - again, if it’s a hassle and a time-suck to have to log food and make recipes, logging in this app will not be a lasting habit
