Re: Ability to reorder ingredients in recipes
I still use Cronometer daily but it has bugs. For one, meals don't work properly. There are sometimes HUGE discrepancies between what is shown on my computer and what is shown on the iPhone app. Just now, I pulled up one of my meals and the total calories displayed for the meal on my phone is 429.6. On my computer, the total calories shown is 4.3. If I "explode" the meal on the phone, it shows total calories is 4.3 and on the website, it shows the total calories is 1,591 which is the correct answer. In the exploded meal, which consists of 3 items (2 of which are recipes I've created) the serving sizes shown are 0 servings, 0 servings, and 0.32 grams. That is on the phone. On the computer, it shows 1 serving, 1 serving and 120 grams which is correct. As such, I don't recommend EVER using the meal function.
I've given up on reporting bugs to Cronometer because it's time consuming and the bugs never seem to get fixed.
A feature they also should implement is a timeline type of thing in case you tweak a menu or god forbid a meal and apply it to prior uses and it screws up stuff going back to who knows when. You should be able to reset your data file to before that happened. Like a daily restore point going back for 30 days, then weekly for a year, then monthly before that, or something along those lines.
Also, yesterday, I had to find an old recipe that I had retired and there's no feature to search for those. As a workaround, I add the date to the recipe name I was able to find it because I knew when I created it and was able to go to the date I created it, highlight it in my diary, then viewed the item, then saved a new copy. Again, another workaround for a feature they should have already implemented.
Re: Ability to reorder ingredients in recipes
Almost 5 years and it still isn't implemented?
Come on, Cronometer. This is a must feature!
I can't count the amount of times I'm tweaking a recipe, deleting old ingredients and adding new ones, and it's seriously annoying that now the ingredients I need to add first are displayed last!
Please let this happen.
Adjust timestamp to current time when copying
When I copy an entry, either by 'copy to today' or just copying and pasting, the pasted entry should automatically adjust the timestamp to current time. This is the logical way, because when I copy something, it means I'm eating it now.
Right now it leaves the timestamp from the previous entry which is annoying if you forget to re adjust it and then try to remember when I have really eaten it 🤔.
Re: Water Tracker
Hi there. I just joined chronometer and the one thing I find bulky and almost hidden is water tracking. I found this stream in the forum and wondering where things are at with the beta trial and adding better water tracking to the platform. Please advise status of this. If beta testing is still ongoing, I would love to be a part of it!!
Oura import activity faulty
Hi all. Since some weeks the synchronisation between Oura and Cronometer is faulty.
For instance. Oura will tell me I have an active calorie burn of 625 today. Cronometer somehow imports this as 935 calories.
It's not just one day that's wrong, but all days. The amount of calories burned that appears in cronometer, is much higher. The number also seems random. I tried adding some numbers together, but it doesn't add up.
I have already contacted oura support and tried some things, but seems the issue is with cronometer import.
I have contacted cronometer support but unfortunately there is no reply.
Anyone any idea what to do? I have disconnected the apps multiple times from one another. With every new connection, the result is the same. Seems there's a bug somewhere in the way cronometer imports the burned calories from oura?
Kind regards.
Re: Search diary entries for food
I patiently wait for user interface changes to be implemented
Good luck with that. This small company seems to be completely tone-deaf to what users want. They spent a ton of effort on tweaking the Android app font size, something that no user requested, and something that ended up in looking worse.
They launch with fanfare pointless features like splash screens.
Re: Search diary entries for food
In case you haven't figured out yet, the Cronometer team doesn't ACTUALLY care about user feedback. There are worse and more blatant issues that haven't been solved despite being reported years ago.
I gave up on the app.
Re: Search diary entries for food
This is more than average interest/how many more bells do they need?
Re: Blood Glucose & Meals vs. Time
Yes, it would be great if entries in the food log could show on the blood glucose chart so that we can see the response. The app Snap does this. It is really the only feature I need.
Also, it would be great if there was a way to do this with medications (insulin, Ozempic, Mounjaro, Metformin, etc).
Group Quick Add Preferences
It'd be awesome if the setting for Group Quick Add Preferences (the items that show when clicking the + bar for the diary group) allowed for multi-select. As it stands right now, you can choose only a single option, so it's either "All" or just one of the options.
For example, I'd like for my Dinner group to show Food, Scan Barcode, and Notes (but don't need Exercise or Biometrics since I have a separate group for that).
