Quality apps in LiveCode
This app is a great example of how quality, professional looking apps can be created in a development environment called LiveCode. LiveCode uses a language which is a superset of Hypertalk (yes the original Hypercard language, only on steroids). Interface elements are created and placed much like the old Hypercard, and later Supercard and Metacard. This means that you can produce iStore applications using an easy to learn and understand language, without having to know anything about Java or C+. So now lets talk about the app itself.
Notice the smooth scroll wheels, and other iApp controls. Everything is well spaced and well laid out. You are never overwhelmed with too many controls that make you think, "What is that doing there?" When you first launch the app, it takes you through an initialization process to get your age, weight, height and other factors which can affect your prescribed calorie intake and usage. This leads me to believe that there is logic that takes all of this into account.
Notice also that you can search the internet for other foods not presently in the library. I found this extremely handy, not being limited to the database that came with the app. Then there is a place to enter various physical activities such as sports, with different levels of competition to fine tune your calorie usage. You can keep track of your weight and see a pie chart of your Carbs, Protein and Fat content in the foods you have eaten.
This apparently is much more than a place to record what you ate and what you did. Tracker2Go has intelligent calculations about the food you eat and the kind of exercise you do, based on conventional health guidelines, making it an extremely useful application, without being cumbersome and unwieldy as so many apps tend to do. If you are good at using an application of this nature, then you will enjoy using this one.
