Version: CalorieKing Diet, Nutrition and Exercise Manager 4.0.4
"Lacks features for a power user"
Pros: Tracks a good deal of information, easy to use. doesn't crash, tracks exercise
Cons: Unable to export everything you put into it. I can't export to create better reporting. For example sugar can't be exported.. Search feature within software should be much easier.
Summary: I really like the product. However I believe there is a good deal of features that are lacking that I would like to humbly suggest that would make this product more useable.
1. The export feature is fairly lacking. There are several fields of data that the user can input however are not available during export. Such as, "Energy Intake" & "Sugar". I look at the Reports->Nutrients then select what I want to see on the graph and I expect to be able to then hit "export" and be able to export that particular data. Instead I have to download everything, then manipulate the data doing a summation in Excel. the problem there however is that the summation takes into account the net from exercise, I don't want the exercise deducted. I want to know the total Energy Intake.
2. Searching for Foods - When I am in the diary and I type in words in the search screen I have to remember whether something is under "Foods", "Custom Food" or "Saved Meals" because I have to retype the search for each field. That is inconvenient. I should be able to click any of the tabs without having to retype the search term each time.....
Anyway I think you get the point. For 50$ I would expect to have a more feature rich and configurable product. I am fairly dissapointed with my purchase.
The nutritional database isn't the best on the internet. I often have to go to the internet to find foods and then create a custom food.
