Why I’m still using the Daily Burn Web app not the app app

Posted on August 25, 2009 by Simon

I’ve been trying to use the Daily Burn iPhone app for a few days and I just can’t use it properly.  For some tasks that should be simple, it’s over complicated and takes too darn long.  Here’s 2 examples:

Here are the steps with the iPhone App to enter some food I’ve just eaten:

And here it is with the web app:

Not only is it a whole screen less, I can just enter the serving size, I don’t have to use a silly spinney thing (actually 6 in total!)

Next up the app doesn’t show all my workouts, despite “synchronising” every time I launch it.  On the left is the web app and the right the iPhone app, notice that 4 – Barbell lifts and Shoulder Press is missing on the right.

So this is why, for now, I’m sticking with the webapp.
