Screenshots of an iPhone app called Weightbot.

[radiantm3]

Hey guys. Just wanted to show some screenshots of an upcoming iphone app that will be released in a couple weeks. It's a weight tracking app called Weightbot. Yes, there are quite a few weight tracking apps on the store right now, but we took a different approach and focused on it being easy to use, fun, well-designed, and useful for everyone. These are screenshots of it running on my phone. I'll be creating a video of the app in action pretty soon. I'd love to hear your thoughts, good and bad. :)

If you click through on the image, you'll go to the flickr page with comments on the actual screens.

you've got a pretty excellent designer there. I like how the app keeps fairly close to the standard GUI but takes it in a different direction. The blend of the black from the iPhone straight into makes it look like a standard apple app.

I record my weight in the morning and at night. So far all the weight tracking apps that I have looked at all only seem to have one entry per day. Yours looks nice though.

Can the entries be edited after they are input?

Ours is once per day as well to keep it simple, but you can clear or edit any day's entry.

Wow. Love the computer (or treadmill?) design. The app looks pretty good. =)

[Khryz]

I like it!

Can you stand on the iPhone and get your weight too?!

:D

[spyker3292]

Slick

I don't recommend that. :)

[stevearm]

VERY VERY slick looking. You've got (are) a wonderful designer, and the photography (rather than screenshots) work superbly well. You've managed to make what might be considered a bit of a mundane app at first glance, look exciting.

[help!!!!!]

wow! that is stunning! how much will it be? free?

[radiantm3]

Not free, but very cheap. :) Price hasn't been set yet.

I'm in the UK and we measure our weight in stone for the most part, will that be a unit?

[radiantm3]

Interesting. I've never heard that before. :) Is this a standard in the UK? Right now we are only supporting LB and KG. More measurements are a possibility in the future.

[Rojo]

Don't really have a need for this app myself, but just wanted to agree with every one that it's very well designed. I appreciate developers who make really slick-looking apps like this, and add a little whimsy (like a robot) to something that's usually quite mundane.

[stevearm]

Interesting. I've never heard that before. :) Is this a standard in the UK? Right now we are only supporting LB and KG. More measurements are a possibility in the future.

To be fair, kg are just as acceptable in the UK, it's just most people here use stone. ie 12 stone 8, etc... - I think it would be handy to have a few more measurements in an update sometime :) I for instance have no clue what my weight in kg is, but I guess it doesn't matter that much

I always thought the UK used LBS like the US. :)

[TreoRenegade]

Since it's well known that weight normally fluctuates, sometimes significantly, throughout the day and week, does this app offer some sort of averaging feature?

[hollerz]

That looks stunning, one of the best designed apps I've seen! I wish I had a reason to monitor my weight just so I had a reason to use it! :D

[plumbingandtech]

I always thought the UK used LBS like the US. :)

Does it allow for Height to be set to the .25 or the .5 inches? there are a lot of people at 5' 8.5" or 6' 2.25".

I think it would make for more accurate results if you do that no?:)

[Sky Blue]

So I just stand on my phone and it tells me my weight?

[Rayfire]

+1 this one made me giggle

I believe it is just a weight tracking app, not a weighing scale.

[arkitect]

Wow! One of the best looking apps for iPhone I have seen.

Very nicely done.

Please let us know when it gets released.

I'm definitely be needing a weight tracker over the holidays' season. :D:D

[ntrigue]

Elegantly done. I would pay $2.99. We'll add your interface to the likings of AccuFuel and Bloomberg.

My girlfriend's roommate has a scale in the bedroom and bathroom and I may have seen one in the hall for some time! She'll be the first I recommend this to.

[edrex]

She'll be the first I recommend this to.
Step 1 - Recommend a weight tracking program for your girlfriend
Step 2 - Take time while the bruises heal to reflect on the things you will do differently with your next girlfriend

[OneMike]

Good presentation. Looks like a nice app. Well designed.

Yea we've gotten a few requests for this feature. It's definitely something we are looking into. It won't be there for launch, but definitely in a near future release. :)

Nope. Our goal is to provide a simple and fun weight tracking app that fits the needs of the majority. There are a few weight tracking/dieting apps on the app store now that do much more than our app. We will not be competing with them in features. We are aiming weightbot to be the iLife-like consumer app. We are focusing on beautiful design, great usability, and making a normally mundane task a little more fun. :)

So to answer your question directly, fractions of an inch isn't going to change your BMI enough to where it warrants adding more data points for the user to have to scroll through.

[jstanier]

Really lovely looking graphics and design on this one. Well done.

[VeNoMiZeD]

Since this app is into fitness. Can you develop a personalized daily calorie counter that saves the numbers throughout the day? Basically a logger.

[Mac In School]

Does weight need to be entered every day for the app to be effective? I find it more appropriate to weight myself only once a week.

You can weigh yourself at whatever interval you wish. The only [intentional] limitation is it only saves a max of 1 weight a day. So if you enter multiple numbers a day, it only keeps the last one entered for that day.

[TonyHoyle]

I always thought the UK used LBS like the US. :)

1 stone is 14lb, so it's not a hard calculation, although it would certainly be less confusing if the app did it (especially if it's a fractional result).

[nimda0]

I like it!

Can you stand on the iPhone and get your weight too?!

:D

At first glance, I really thought that's what the pictures were going to show him doing. lol

[steamed.hams]

I'm definitely interested! What are you thinking of charging?

whats with that Flickr app, i dont see it in the app store

OK thank you. I was wondering if .25 or .5 would make that much of a difference.

Kudos on the app. I will being buying it when released.

It's the web app version of flickr. Flickr has an iphone version of it's site (once you login). That's their default home screen icon.

[radiantm3]

Weightbot has hit 1.0 and was submitted to Apple this morning for review. Now its just a matter of time (and apple's grace?). :cool: We also threw together a temporary page on the site until the real site is complete: http://tapbots.com
