Unfortunately since this is an iPhone application, the only way to download it is through the iPhone/iPod Touch App Store and iTunes.

What a wonderful article. If only those in power would stop the capitalist from looting from the American people.

I personally think it's the best idea possible - it would inspire all of us, it would make our differences so little and our goals so huge, that may be for once all the rest of the world can follow our lead to the freedom and prosperity.

The 1.5 update does indeed allow you to calculate your daily points. The update has been submitted to Apple and is pending their approval.

This has been added to the 1.5 update which we just uploaded to Apple. It is pending approval and should be available as soon as Apple approves it.

great app - but PLEASE include kilojoules as many foods only list those - esp here is Australia!

Re: Point Counts

rksprst — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 14:13:13 -0000

Those features are still under development. We should submit the update to Apple in a few days, so it will be live a few days after that (once Apple approves it).

Sure, you can download it on iTunes by searching for PointCounts or by clicking on this link: http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/... (it will open up iTunes for you)

I totally see your point, but I am a believer in Paul Graham's "Make something people want. Don't worry too much about making money." mantra. I think that if you make an app that people actually want, you will have no problem selling it or monetizing it through ads, sponsors, or partnerships.

Stephen Darlington — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 05:35:35 -0000

Unfortunately if you're trying to do it for a living you can't really just cross your fingers and hope that the money will come later. If typical sales are in two digits and you need four to keep you in Macs, gadgets and housing then it's just not going to happen. As Andy Finnell suggests, professional developers will leave the App Store leaving only hobbyists and software will not evolve as new and exciting alternatives to the iPhone come along.

I just added this feature and submitted the new version to Apple. It's currently under review and should be available as soon as they approve it. (Usually a few days).

Meanwhile, here's a screenshot of the new version: http://i35.tinypic.com/2ahe9v9.png

Let me know if you have any other suggestions or feedback!

Re: Point Counts

Jennifer — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 07:03:35 -0000

I like your suggestion quite a bit! The choice would be excellent!

I didn't add decimals because I thought people would like the simplicity of a phone-type keyboard better.

To enter decimals you need the text-keyboard to get the period...

However, since you requested it I might add this in an update and add a settings tab to let you choose what type of keyboard you would like. Would you like this feature?

Re: Point Counts

Jennifer — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 22:50:24 -0000

Can it do decimals? For example if something has 2.5 grams of fat?

Re: Point Counts

rksprst — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 02:04:21 -0000

No, it does not - it simply calculates point values.

But, I am working on another app that will allow you to track the food/points you have eaten (similar to Edibles). You will also be able to save custom food items and their point value. This new app should be released in the next few weeks.

Re: Point Counts

Mae — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 01:52:34 -0000

Does this app also have a history of foods that have been entered?

Re: What happened to changing the world?

samratjp — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 23:26:36 -0000

well, a fair assumption, but let's dig a little deeper. Is it that revolutionaries are born or just a statistical anomaly that seems to pop out - i.e. wouldn't a pc revolution have happened anyways? Wouldn't there be some google anyways? I suppose the environment brings out the revolutionaries, not necessarily the other way around (though that is a possibility indeed)!
