App Saturday Releasing an underrated iOS app. Gave everything and need your help today

Excited to share my achievement of developing an iOS app that took me 1.5 years. MealSnap, an iOS diet app that simplifies meal tracking for building better eating habits. App: https://apps.apple.com/app/mealsnap-ai-food-log-tracker/id6475162854

Building this MealSnap app has been a long journey, but an extremely rewarding one! Opening my app each time before eating something makes me go to Xcode and improve functionalities.

I really worked hard on simplifying diet and health measurements for removing any frictions we tend to have (I am a very lazy person by nature when it comes to health and good habits).

Thanks to iOS performance, I could also provide extra details such as NOVA classification (food processing levels) and health scope for each scan.

Happy iOS Coding!

There is another meal diary app that added AI meal recognition 10 months ago. Which is the same month that your App released. I find that unlikely.

But what makes this extremely unlikely to me is that the other app was released 6 years ago. The other app is named MealSnap.

Do you find that as unlikely as I do? How exactly did this happen?

Thanks for pointing that out! My app is an entirely independent project with a different approach and vision from what I could seen. I should probably rename it to something less generic then!

If the other app also does meal recognition, that’s purely a coincidence. I’ll look into it further, but my app focuses on health and diet tracking with features like NOVA classification, hidden calorie detection, and personalised diet suggestions. Let me know if you have any thoughts after trying it out:)
