I really mean the MyFitnessPal app. It sends out notifications if I don't log a meal, or if I haven't logged in at all during the day. While I'm as focused as I currently am though, I log in a lot, so the notifications aren't necessary. I don't know if there's been an update, but the notifications are coming in thick and fast, even when I already have logged my food, so I swipe the phone and just get rid of them. But I think the app's taken umbrage :-) It sent a notification today to say that it didn't seem like the notifications were useful to me. A notification to say it's stopping the notifications. Ironic. But it sounded a bit huffy, if you ask me. How can it tell that I don't use them? Honestly, technology boggles my mind. So yeah, MFP has fallen out with me. Teehee.
Despite it's capricious nature, the phone's a darn useful tool for counting the calories and keeping track of the sorts of foods that I'm eating on a regular basis. And the database of foods that it has is amazingly extensive, generic foods as well as brands. It also has a bar code reader which is very useful. My phone is like my right arm these days, especially in my weight loss efforts. I track and blog from it. I'd be kind of lost without it. As I said, technology, mind boggling!
I used the word notification(s) seven times in that. Eight now :-D
