The app itself is really impressive. I'm a MFP user and the exact type of person looking for this kind of tool - unfortunately the lack of Apple Health integration on iOS is a deal breaker for me, as the data isn't very useful stuck inside any one app. In the health space integrations are huge because it always involves aggregating data from different tracki… See more

@brendonto Apple Health and Google Fit integrations are one of the things we’re working on right now. Hopefully, we’ll be able to roll them out soon. We wanted to get Bitesnap out there as soon as we could in order to get feedback, even if some features are missing. Thanks for trying it out!

@amlewis4 totally fair points, I was thinking more from an early-adopter perspective. There are a ton of people who *want* to consistently track these things, but most fall off regardless of the tool. Those who might consistently use this app are likely going to want their macro data to keep being fed into Health/Fit the way it currently is with MFP, Lifesum… See more

@brendonto on HN there was a really good comment about Bitesnap being focused on just calorie tracking which was why it was good. I think if they stay focused and build a great calorie tracking app, the users will come. Totally understand the importance of integrations, but I still don't see that much value in Apple Health, Fitbit platform etc. That is ano… See more
