With Cronometer, the apps feel like they’re made by the same team and there’s platform parity-even if things don’t necessarily look identical. Unfortunately, MyFitnessPal’s web experience always felt like a completely different app with different entry methods from mobile.
This depends on your desktop and mobile usage, but I’ve loved having a web app that works great. From the day-to-day food entry experience, to the bigger picture nutrition reporting and increased visibility, the whole experience is more enjoyable than what I had with MyFitnessPal. I’m a convert now, and that’s why you’re reading this. Once my MyFitnessPal yearly subscription was up for renewal I decided to give Cronometer a try and see how it felt. But as time went on, Cronometer showed up more often on fitness and nutrition message boards. I happily gave it a try, but it didn’t stick for all the reasons above-I had too much data in MyFitnessPal and switching was too much of hassle when what I had worked good enough. Even with all these misgivings, switching apps meant losing my recipes, meals, favourite foods, and recent foods and that stopped me from going forward with it.Īround the same time I met with an old friend from design school who was working on a calorie and nutrition tracker called Cronometer.
It also didn’t feel like there was active development in the areas I cared about (although I was pleased it received some UI love while I was using it). And I can’t count the number of in-progress recipes I had lost because the app would crash partway through. I didn’t like landing on a newsfeed of fitness articles when all I wanted to do was track some food. There always seemed to be bugs regardless of the regular app updates. The newfound visibility into my nutrition hooked me and the streak started.īut I was never 100% happy with MyFitnessPal. I downloaded MyFitnessPal on a whim and quickly realized just how little I was eating compared to my activity level. I had always been too skinny, and was unhappy with how I looked. By then I had built a successful daily exercise habit, but my caloric intake remained a mystery. I started tracking my food back in January 2019.
