What do you do about portion size, and the calories a photo can't see like oil or dressing? Those are the parts that have always made me distrust the number these apps spit out. Curious how you're handling it. Only looked at the landing page so far.

I'm going to safely assume that everything is hallucinated

Fair prior. That's exactly why every number is editable - I treat the model as a quick draft, not a source of truth.

Some other similar apps do the same thing but it's hard to provdie right and accruate inforation just based on photos by using LLM & OCR. any special design you did in this app?

another BS apps after 100 made the same thing. maybe 1000 made before

What was the phrase in the Apple developer guidelines?

"Certain kinds of apps, such as dating, flashlight, sound effects, wallpaper, simple timers, and fortune telling, are well established on the App Store and we will not accept new submissions unless they offer a meaningfully different or improved experience"

Arguably, this isn't a meaningfully different or improved experience (it's the same boring thing as every other photo-as-calorie-counter-that-never-works-right, unless you count them adding monetization through a 'premium' subscription as a meaningfully different experience), so Apple should have just tossed it from the platform.

Crowded means unsolved, not worthless

the app looks same or similar to fitness apps. As myself I found the apps difficult in managing while doing exercises because you have to constantly do this in phone. I prefer not to .So build something where it would not require manual efforts or minimum manual effort.

watch would be great because it would have notification about rest time is over and when to start next exercise . Voice would not be possible because of lots of noses in gyn.fitness centre.

looks like even the apple logo in the appstore button is vibecoded.

Ha, that one's on me, not the AI - I made it in Canva myself. Apparently I vibecode by hand too.

sigh will you nerds please stop trying to make this app idea happen, it doesn't work.

Maybe the idea doesn't work. Maybe no one has executed it well enough yet.

The problem is that A. A photo has no depth information to tell you the actual size of something, B. A photo cannot tell you what is behind something else so you can't see what's hidden, and C. Most importantly, when you're done cooking, a lot of ingredients in a food are "invisible" such as milk, butter, sugar, etc. and no camera or fancy AI can tell you what was used to make a food.

There is no "no one has executed it well enough" here. Every single attempt at this app idea has these exact same limitations. This not the same as a bird or plant identification app.

So many people have tried this exact same app. Good job making something, but I'm trying to save you a lot of wasted effort.
