What would be nice is to find a decent site/app for tracking food intake. That is one area that I would love to track but the current landscape of apps for it are lacking.
MyFitnessPal's UI is pretty bad but seems to have decent data if you can find it.
Fitbit's UI is nice but the food database and lookup is atrocious.
I absolutely agree. It is absurd that the two most popular Fitness/Diet apps are so poorly designed, especially given the open nature of the ecosystem. Users, developers: why?!
I guess because the apps are optimized to look nice, as opposed to being ergonomic and functional.
For any tracking that doesn't require support database (like food calories), I switched to TapLog [0]; it's the only sane tracking app I've seen so far. It allows you to place buttons on your homescreen to track custom-defined categories (I use, among others, Expense, Weight, Sleep time). You can store a number, a rate (1-5) OR a text description. And that's it. You press the button, type in the quantity, press "Log" and you're done. And it allows you to export all data to CSV - for me it's the most important feature (and without it, I won't be using any kind of tracking app).
