Annoying

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: One Week

Recommend Product: NO

I wanted to like this program, I really did. But it's just too annoying to use. Take tonight's dinner for example. Boneless chicken breast, broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms, onions, carrots. First I have to search for Chicken, Broilers or Fryers, Breast, Meat Only, Raw. It was a 6 ounce piece, but the program only handles grams or servings. How much is a serving? Broccoli? Again, the only options are "Bunch" or grams. Cauliflower? "Flower" or grams. It takes longer to enter the meal than it does to eat it!

Exercise - equally annoying. My favorite machine is an elliptical cross-trainer. Not on the list.

About the only thing this program manages easily is blood glucose readings.

Will someone PLEASE take a look at the venerable old Windows 3.x program "Lifeform" from Fitnesoft?

I've sent three emails to HealthEngage, and a week later have received no response. If you suffer from low blood pressure and need something to elevate it, the stress of trying to use this program will help. Otherwise, it's too annoying for the Mac, and the lack of support from HealthEngage does not bode well for future improvements.

Annoying - HealthEngageSupport

The technical items this user has commented on have been fixed or modified in the 3.5 and 3.6 versions.

The support isssue has also been solved since the posting almost 2 years ago with the installation of a support system to ensure timely e-mail responses.

BBut if anyone has anny problems or questions they can e-mail me directly at dwilliams@healthengage.com but I assure you this post is not reflective of the software and ask you to try it yourself and see if it is the right tool for you.
