The Diary

@cute_life Hi Glen, First of all thanks for checking us out ; ) I definitely agree with you that the experience can be overwhelming for someone who hasn't used our product before, and I think much of that could be fixed with some better user onboarding that includes more of a tutorial based walk through so users see how they might use the app in practice. Maybe you've got some thoughts on this or some more general advice to help guide us in this way? Although I think something like that would bring us a step forward in the right direction, I think there is a larger problem in the industry as a whole in terms of user engagement—people just don't want to enter health data. It takes too much time right now! While much of a users health story is tracked automatically with wearables, when it comes to subjective data like feelings and most symptoms, users don't want to take the time or energy to keep track. We're trying to help alleviate this pain by shortening both the time and energy needed to create health entries. The dictation feature of our iOS app (paired with 3D Touch actions for even faster input) and our watch app is one of our attempts to solve this. Although I certainly see the feature in its current state as a proof of concept and not quite polished or complete, with the 1.1 and 2.0 releases we have planned for the near future, we have some tricks up our sleeve that will help us take a huge step forward in increasing user engagement for health tracking and will make our dictation feature a killer! Thanks again for checking us out, giving us your feedback, and keeping an eye out for updates. We've got some exciting things in store for the future 😋

Hi everyone, I also worked on the project. As most of you know you can never fit everything you'd like in the first release, especially if you're on a tight deadline. Our small team put in an incredible amount of work and we plan to continue to do that for future releases. The Apple Health integration, Voice Dictation, 3D touch options, Dropbox integration and Document Scanner (for medical records) were all intended to help make it easier but we know we still have some work to do. It's not an easy task. Thanks for the feedback! Keep it coming!

@_mariov_ @cute_life Thanks Mario, absolutely true! We had an extremely tight schedule and it's great what is present in the service all together given only a couple months and a small team, but there's still so much to improve on and add to give our users the best experience and make life easier for people trying to keep track of their health.

@cute_life Thanks!
