Period tracking as a biometric
I'd love the ability to add period tracking as a biometric, even if it was pure binary (either happening, or not happening) - this would be really interesting to track against other metrics.
Period recording and renaming custom biometrics
As per the title. In spite of your recent inclusion of "Women's Health", there is no biometric to enter menstrual periods. This would be a useful measure to put weight fluctuations into context. I have a custom biometric, but it would be good to have an official one, esp for the free users out there.
Secondly, could you please add a function to rename custom biometrics. I search revealed this has been requested several times, as far back as 2017.
Add a "servings" counter to help show if you're eating enough vegetables per day
It would also be helpful to count up the servings of bread or pasta, meat or fish, or dairy.

Period Tracker add-on?
I would love if Cronometer had a period tracking option. Kind of like the "Mark Day Complete" option, but maybe say "On Period" and have the day show as red or something on the calendar. I would think that can be a good feature to a lot of women, especially those of us who are carb conscious due to...issues.
There's nothing more annoying than having to wonder why you're fiending for chocolate and salt, and everything edible under the sun and hoping that Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs would happen. Only to then have your period hit a few days later. While I know I can write down in the notes section, it would be great to have a period tracker added on.
Re: Cronometer not sending food data to Google Fit?
Unfortunately the Fitbit work around did not work for me. Fitbit only allows Google Fit to pull calories expended, not nutrition. You can see it when you go into the permissions when linking. And Virgin Pulse does not pull the info directly from Fitbit either.

Re: Cronometer not sending food data to Google Fit?
Same. I have a paid subscription, but my work just switched to VirginPulse. I lose earned points/money if I can't show I am calorie tracking everyday. (lame but it is what it is)
They don't support Cronometer, but do support Google Fit. I much prefer Cronometer to MyFitnessPal, but if the integrations aren't there I will need to re-explore my tracker choice.

Re: Cronometer alternatives
Oh I see, I am not the only one then..... Fell off the good habits of tracking for a while then came back only to find all jigged around (not a huge problem in itself) but I agree the contrast onscreen is lacking and I mainly see a sea of white with very weak grey.....
I used to use the 'import recipe' from a link a lot, it saved me a lot of time entering items, only had to tweak and fix occasional issues, but that seems to have gone while the useless 'ask for suggestions' remains, carrying on suggesting the exact same food it always has for the past three years.... and the ask the Oracle, which is just a gimmick: for exaple, I checked for 'food high in potassium', limiting to maximum 25 results, and the firs ten results I get are 'leavening agents', 'baking powder', 'sparkling water alternatively sweetened', 'coffee, reduced caffeine'. 'hearts of palm, raw', 'Pepsi, zero sugar', 'clam juice' (clam juice???? is that a thing?), 'cream of tartar' and 'coffee prepared from grounds'...... mmmm.... better invite friends over for dinner too....
It looks like the developers are pushing towards an 'app' experience and expect - like most everybody else, that we'll all use the app instead of a PC or laptop in the future... but the thing is I can't see very well so phone apps are really a struggle for me, whereas I find my way a little more easily on the larger screen.
But hey, I guess, I can always go back even to pen and paper if needed, I guess that'd save me some money too :-(
Re: Cronometer alternatives
So I really have struggled with this. Moreso the new functional issues with the recipes (stated in the other thread) but the truth of the matter is the ONLY alternative I have ever tried that comes remotely close is Diet Power.
Cronometer is leagues ahead in customization ability (like DRIs, for example). I was excited when the import recipe feature was added. I am confused as to why the recipe management is now so much more primitive.
I left Diet power for Cronometer because DP had not done a great job keeping up with the database and I see now that it is "for sale" but still out there free to try. There was no associated app.
But in any regard I think this is the only thing out there that (1) references multiple databases (2) tracks a full spectrum of micronutrients and (3) offers DRI and profile customizations.
Still very frustrated.

Trustpilot:
your better bet of getting back aspects of the old website is to leave a review on trustpilot! do you know it? On trustpilot you can leave reviews for every website that exists, Crono included:
https://www.trustpilot.com/review/cronometer.com
you will see there also my review 
if we complain here in the cronometer forum, you see what happens! not much: the boss and owner of cronometer, Aaron, has already answered the many complaints by saying that he won't revert to the good previous version but only do minor changes. in total there are maybe 100 posts of complaints on different threads... and in spite this will not revert. but all these hundred complaints are ineffective, because they are visible only within the cronometer forum but not visible to the outside. trustpilot is visible to the outside and fully independent! complaints there have a much bigger lever to affect what you want: help Crono to change into a good direction!
but I say a thing in favor of Aaron: he is a nice guy, I did have email exchange with him. And he respects freedom of speech. he has the power to delete all my posts here. he never did. and last but not least, in spite of the catastrophic new design, cronometer has a wonderful functionality that is miles ahead of all the competition, it is his baby, his work of the last decade. for these reasons, I decided to soften my critical review on trustpilot. normally, such a disaster update like this one would make me produce a 1* review. I improved it to 2**. and if things develop in a good direction I will give them the 5*, which was what they have well deserved before this catastrophe. shame on me that I have never posted that five star review before, but I promise that I will do it once this catastrophe is resolved!!

Re: Cronometer alternatives
@lolinda How to you roll back to a previous version of the desktop webpage. That is where most of the negative comments are arising. I hardly even use the phone app.
