iOS App of the Day - Applause
Wednesday, August 12, 2015
Our today's iOS App of the Day is Applause. It is a new, really intuitive weight loss app, built as a spinoff from the MIT Media Lab. The app learns from your behavior, and makes intelligent suggestions to help you lose weight by picking healthy choices. A lot of brainpower seems to have gone into the machine learning algorithms, because after using the for a few days, you can see the data science algorithms in action. The app will study thousands of other users whose food patterns match yours, and make smart recommendations.
Designed with pleasant and joyful colors, fonts and shapes, Applause is extremely feature rich, and the beautiful interface is delightful. It has water, diet, weight, workout, step and mood trackers. Most of the times, the tracking can be done with just one tap.
There is also a free support group feature, that allows you to either create your own group, or join an anonymous group. You can share your feelings about your weight loss journey in a safe place, without people judging you. We really liked this feature, especially since we can compare how much we are walking to other members of the group. We loved this app! Get it for free on the App Store.
