Youate is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website

“Youate” is an app that aimed to become the simplest meal balance in the world.

What will you eat at the next lunch?

We know the dietary balance to be important for health and beauty. Moreover, we know it only has to decide the dish in consideration the balance. However, it cannot be done. Because the management was very troublesome.

For example, I ate a salad and bread for breakfast. They mean “principal 1 and side dish 2”. I should write it down in the notebook and calculate the relation to the amount necessary for a day. Next, it is lunch. I ate soup and pasta. So, the record is “pricipal 2 and side dish 2”. And, it is dinner… I had to take out the management table every time to know an insufficient item at each meal, and to fill it in. It was necessay to calculate before the meal.

Can you continue such work of disgusted every day?

Then, “Youate” appears.

With “Youate”, you only choose what you ate. And, it ends. Youate will calculate the recommended food for the next time. You can refer to it before hesitating what you eat.

[Feature]

1.Balance graph

It is difficult work to understand bias of food only in the head. Youate shows you the balance for a day or 1 week in the bar chart. You intuitively understand the food that your body requests.

2.Recommendation

It is complex work that deciphers a past graph. Youate advises on the best recommendation dish by an original computational method. You are liberated from the hesitation at the dish choice of the lunch.

3.Easy input

The input of the name of a detailed dish and the place where you ate is time-consuming. Nevertheless, it is not so useful. Youate doesn’t request a useless input. You choose the eaten dish from the list. It is only it. Therefore, it is easy to continue.

Please use it once. Thank you,

[How to use]

Overall Rating: 3.19 out of 5 stars

I’ll tell you a little secret: I’m a Food Network junkie. Show me how to cook something, and I’m transfixed. So when the opportunity arose to review Cooking Academy for the iPhone, I jumped at it – not because I thought it was going to teach me something about cooking, but because I just can’t resist cooking – even when it’s just a theme for a fairly benign game.

Cooking Academy places you in a generic school for aspiring chefs. In order to move up the ranks, you have to learn to cook a series of dishes, ranging from appetizers like gyoza to full-fledged main courses. One of the real strong points of Cooking Academy is the sheer number of dishes you have to work your way through. Assuming you just peruse one or two challenges each time you play, it should take you quite a while to finally reach the end of everything the game has to offer.

The game’s controls should be familiar to anyone who has played a game like this (even, say, Fruit Ninja) or a more complicated rhythm-style game. Each dish has a variety of steps. For instance, Gyoza requires you to tap on the dough to roll it out, tap ingredients to cook them, slide your finger to drag ingredients to the dough, slide your finger to roll up the dough and tap repeatedly to “dimple” the dough into the familiar gyoza shape. Tired yet? You will be eventually, as this is one of the simplest “recipes.” Speed and accuracy are of the essence, so the game nicely provides a practice mode to help you build up your chef skills.

The graphics and sounds are simple and straightforward and don’t really do much to help Cooking Academy stand out from other similar games. A unique artistic style would have been nice to see, as would a menu that focused on a particular nationality’s cuisine. Instead you get a mish-mash of cultural foods with a very white bread graphical style and the highly unusual inclusion of banjo music in the background for some odd reason. There isn’t a unifying design dominating the game, and that really could help the overall appeal of playing Cooking Academy.

Cooking Academy is a basic, light little game that has some great ideas and controls but a weak graphical style. That said, it still provides some of the vicarious thrills a wanna-be Iron Chef like me desires.

Foodictionary: Tongue and Lengua at the Tip of Your Finger

Foodictionary: Tongue and Lengua at the Tip of Your Finger

Price: $4.99   Score 8/10   By J.R.MaldonadoFoodictionary :: International Food & Beverage Translator

I thought I wouldn’t need to brush up on my food Spanish before honeymooning in Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina and a carnivore’s rumpus room. I was wrong. I was so, so wrong. (And I’m a native speaker!) Had either the iPhone or iPad Touch been available then, I wouldn’t have needed to furtively glanced at the accompanying English-language translations and gotten flack from new bride (who also should’ve known better, being Latina). Foodictionary :: International Food & Beverage Translator by Magenta would certainly have been on my must-download list of apps.

As I already noted, I am a Spanish speaker. This review of Foodictionary will use examples from the Spanish-English translations. However, I know enough Italian to state that the my observations ring true for that language, and, by extension, all the languages contained in this food-translation application.

With seven languages (English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Russian, and Greek) a tap of the figure away, the translations available are exhaustive and should make Foodictionary the bread-and-butter food-translation app for those traveling to countries where the seven European languages are prevalent. But Foodictionary can serve more than those jetsetters and backpackers traveling abroad, as the developer states on it’s iTunes App Store page. It’s of practical use in areas of the United States where some restaurants (mostly Mexican) don’t have English-language menus.

The breadth of the information is impressive. For each of the seven languages accessible, there are 12,5000 terms in over 40 categories. The categories don’t stop at appetizers, proteins, desserts and beverages, either. Foodictionary goes the extra mile, including categories for cuts of meat (beef, lamb, pork and veal), spices (e.g., clavél/clove) and terms for style of preparation (a la parrilla/grilled). If you take a fancy to a particular dish, Foodictionary allows the user to save entries as favorites. Let’s say, you’re in Spain and were surprised by the richness of the lasaña de salami puré de ajo (salami lasagne with garlic purée). Save the entry, take the time to memorize it, or when you walk into another restaurant show the captain or waiter the listing by way of requesting the plate.

Of course, with such breadth (12,500 terms per tongue), some nuance and phrases are expected to be lost down Foodictionary’s drain. Under meat, beef is listed as Vaca.  Yes, vaca is cow in Spanish, and beef comes from cows. However, carne and carne de res are the general terms for beef. And there are more errors, and some are whoppers. Under beverages, hot water is egregiously mistranslated as agua fría. Fría means cold in Spanish. Not hot. Hot is caliente. This error is so not caliente. There are also duplicate listings for terms (e.g., a la parrilla).

While there are mistakes in Foodictionary, the app overall is a tool that will lead to much joyous dining. The entries would also benefit greatly from images.  Pictures would allow the user a fuller experience akin to the experience of eating — that is, multisensory.  Also, the addition of Chinese to the language database would be a welcomed in the next update. China is an economic and culture powerhouse, attracting businessmen and post-grads, alike. Besides, if you’re in a Chinatown hole in the wall, maybe you could finally decipher the Chinese-only menus tacked on the wall.

Before you book a flight to visit Lenin’s tomb or the Acropolis or to any place where the languages included in this app are spoken, do your stomach a favor — download Foodictionary. Bon apetito!

Foodictionary requires iPhone OS 3.1 or later and is compatible with iPhone and iPod touch. A small fee was paid by the developer to expedite the publication of this review.

Price: $0.99    Score: 9/10    By Steve BeaudryShop Healthy!

If you’ve ever wanted to know what foods to buy in order to eat healthier, you know that such research can be a pain, but with Shop Healthy by SmartNow.com you can get all the information you need right on your phone even while you’re strolling down the isle. Created by Dr. Melina Jampolis, Shop Healthy has cataloged and rated over 100,000 different foods which you would find at any grocery store. Choose any brand and the app will show you how healthy it is, along with full nutritional information and other products which might work as a healthier substitute.

The app itself is pretty well organized. Shop Healthy opens up to a Home screen with a picture of Dr. Jampolis and an introduction to the app which, honestly, I could live without. The option to turn off the welcome screen after the first use would be handy. Other than that, it’s as simple as going to the search screen if you’re looking for a particular food or the Aisle screen if you want to browse what’s available in different categories. The categories in the Aisle screen are set up in columns divided by food type such as Fruits & Vegetables, Breads & Grains, etc. You swipe to the left or right to find more columns and under each column are sub-categories. Kinda like the aisles at a grocery store! Fancy that.

Once you decide on a sub-category it shows you several different selections within. For example, if I go under Frozen Food and select Pizza it’ll show me a list including everything from A.C. LaRocca pizza with a different selection for every topping combination to pretty much every single brand of frozen pizza you’ve ever seen and some you probably haven’t! Factoid info will tell you specific considerations for your current choice and at any time you can press the Nutrition Facts button to see the black-and-white label straight from the product itself.

I only had one hickup running this app. The first time I tried to run it, there was absolutely no information loading. I’m not sure if this is a common error, but it did happen once.

All-in-all, however, this is a perfect application for what it does. Those who want to eat healthy will find it incredibly useful.  Its name says it all: Shop Healthy!

Shop Healthy requires iPhone OS 3.0 or later and is compatible with both iPhone and iPod Touch.
