Research: App Insights

The next stage of the project was to look at some healthy eating apps to gain some further insight into what I need to include when I start designing my system. I looked at 2 apps and from these I was able to gather the following information which will be vital in my design process:

  • Allows you to share recipes with friends to help keep you motivated.
  • Uses keywords/categories to summarize recipes e.g. (easy, low fat, super healthy etc.) Helps finds information quickly.
  • Tracks nutrition such as protein, calories, fat etc.
  • Enter own information to make it personal e.g. food diary
  • Use of graphics to help show progress
  • Use of icons to improve navigation.
  • Simple, consistent and easy to use interface.
