Just curious. What's the reasoning behind this being a mobile app? Shouldn't this just primarily be a website ?

Are you asking "why mobile", or "why native, as opposed to HTML5?"

The answer to the first question is obvious, IMHO. I always carry a mobile device, whereas I'm only at a computer 12-14 hours a day.

As to the second, opening a web-app using a mobile browser is cumbersome and thus a fairly large barrier to adoption. The key to this app's success - as with any personal analytics tool - is continuous use.

We do have a website option btw, it's not as full-featured as the mobile app (yet), but you'll access it once you download the app.
