The Eatery (no, not the sushi place)
Jan 18th, 2012 by kiely
I heard about the iOS app ‘The Eatery” when it was very early in its life cycle. The concept of the Eatery is that by taking pictures of your meals and uploading them to be rated by other users of the app you will be held accountable for what you eat and it will generally improve your eating habits. Every week it gives you a report looking at trends such as the days you eat the healthiest or the times you eat the healthiest.
When I first began using the app the user base was very small. I would only get about 20 ratings for each meal and this would be after several hours. Now that the Eatery has been around for some time the ratings come almost instantly! You are also responsible for rating other people’s foods by judging their pictures of a scale of “fit” to “fat”. My main issue with the app is that the ratings can be subjective and I’ve realized there seems to be a relationship between the quality of the picture and the rating of the food.
Eat away!
Hi Kiely,
We’re thrilled that you’re enjoying The Eatery! Yup we made some changes (and just released a new update http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/the-eatery/id468299990?mt=8 yesterday too) and I think you’ll find that performance has significantly improved.
Let us know what you think about the new version!
Warmest regards,
Cassandra
