Updated, ad-free version of the iPhone app available

Posted by Lex | July 29, 2009 | 3 Comments

As we mentioned last week, a new version of LIVESTRONG.COM Calorie Tracker iPhone app is available now in iTunes! This version removes the banner ads that were introduced a week ago. We goofed, we're sorry, and we're most appreciative of your feedback and support. Download the update and go ad-free again!


We've already sent another new version to Apple to address a few occasional glitches with updating serving sizes and meal times. Stay tuned!

About those ads in the iPhone app...

We recently released an update to the LIVESTRONG.COM Calorie Tracker app for iPhone that addressed some bugs and crashes. The app, now sponsored by Nissan, also started sporting some ads.


Our members have told us, loudly and clearly, that the ads are too obtrusive. We're removing them. As soon as Apple approves our latest submission to the app store, the app will once again be ad-free. 

Thanks for your patience and support!

3 Mobile Versions of LIVESTRONG.COM

Posted by Lex | May 11, 2009 | 21 Comments

You probably already know about our iPhone app and our Blackberry app to track foods using The Daily Plate while you’re on the go. If you rock an iPhone, iPod Touch, or Blackberry, those apps are definitely the way to go if you want to track calories wherever you are.

But if you’re using a different web-enabled phone, you may be interested in learning more about option three, “TDP Mobile.” It lives at http://livestrong.com/m, and offers a slimmed-down version of The Daily Plate. All members can use the TDP Mobile to search for nutrition information from our database, and Gold members get bonus features: They can actually track, access Frequently Eaten Foods, and more.

With three mobile ways to get to LIVESTRONG.COM, you can carry the nutritional information for 500,000 foods and data on more than 1,000 physical activities in your pocket.

We’re extremely proud of our various mobile options for accessing The Daily Plate at LIVESTRONG.COM, especially our iPhone and Blackberry apps.

These apps are a great way to track your calories on the go. In fact, Apple is so pleased with our iPhone app that it now appears on their in-store marketing. Take a look!
