The App Store Is Drowning in Calorie Trackers

If you're new to this or the title sounds exaggerated to you; I'd like to invite you to open the App Store and search “calorie tracker.”
You'd find the same app. Over. And over. And over. We have now hundreds of calorie apps.
Just a different icon, slightly different colors but the same exact app uninspired clone at the core.

Don't get me wrong calorie tracking itself isn’t the enemy but rather the flood the App Store and Social Media are drowning in.

Let me ask you:

Are relationships with food better?

Are users less confused?
Are people healthier?

And this take is coming from a person who's been struggling with weight my whole life.

I want to be completely and utterly honest: I have myself created a Calorie Tracking application; Kalo. It’s easy to build another tracker but it’s much harder to rethink what we measure and how we interpret it. And I am not claiming to have solved it but I am trying to shape it in a way that helps me and the people in need the most.

I strongly believe Kalo could continuously evolve in the direction to truly make people healthier by continuously improving the user experience and giving more and more data and instructions on how to interpret it.

But I need your help on this. The industry doesn't need more calorie trackers, it needs better thinking and better solutions.

Let me know what you think. And I promise to improve Kalo to my best efforts.
