MyNetDiary has updated both PRO and Diabetes iPhone apps!

New versions have improved planning tools, introduced Food Grade on the food entry screen to help you see how good the food is, and fixed few other issues including rotation on iPad. In the previous update, the apps added a comprehensive Health App integration and new Community.

Here are the App Store links:

By the way, do you know that MyNetDiary Diabetes is also available on Android, but it's not a separate app, it's included into MyNetDiary Maximum:

I've noticed a problem with recording food amounts in the app (I'm using iOS). When I record a certain amount of any food and the number I use includes a decimal, then the app allows me to save my entry without selecting a unit of measure. When I do this, it seems to default to a unit of calories. For example, for my lunch entry I query "carrots", select the carrots entry, enter 2.5 but I forget to select the units (ounces) from the right column, and select "Save". The entry is now saved as 2.5 calories instead of 2.5 ounces as I intended. This is difficult to catch when entering food in a hurry and can leave you believing you have more calories left in the day than you really have.

Could you please make it so it forces the user to select a unit regardless of the kind of number entered. I noticed it seems to catch you if you enter a whole number, but not when you enter a decimal number.

Thank you.

Thanks for pointing out the problem, you are absolutely right, we will extend validation to include decimal numbers and fractions in the next app update, due in a couple of weeks.

You keep changing the presentation of the food grading system (first it was a weird numerical system ranging from negative to positive numbers, now it's school grades), but the underlying algorithm stays the same – and unfortunately, stays wrong.

It appears the algorithm values carbohydrates as being good, and fats being bad. That's an old guidance that was never based on solid evidence and has long been debunked. When MyNetDiary rates the vanilla syrup in my cappuccino with a B (the second-best grade for what's basically fluid sugar), but at the same time grades a healthy coconut a D, it makes me wonder how useful the app actually is for me. The grading system is obviously completely and utterly useless, and might actually be detrimental to someone who puts faith in it.

I have lost a lot of weight with MyNetDiary, but only because of the protocol aspect. I've set macronutrient goals that MyNetDiary warned against, and I certainly stay clear of that absurd grading system as far as possible. Basically, I log my food in it, but I ignore every other aspect of it. And that's kind of sad, really. The market of food logging apps is rather crowded by now and I really believe MyNetDiary needs to up its game. Stop changing the way the grading system displays its results, and finally fix its underlying concept.
