The Healthy Eating and Fitness Guide.By

The App Inventors-George, Sam and Nathan.

We have decided to make a healthy eating and fitness app because we realise that people out there who perhaps want to loose some weight and become more healthier need a bit of help to find a structured way of doing it. We believe this app will be useful for people and will include exercise plans, eating tips and a few more.

Problem

We know that some apps or books that are used to try and help people lose weight and get healthier aren’t always very helpful and can even make people feel a bit under pressure to really try hard. However we think our app will be more structured without causing to much pressure on people to quickly get healthier but to be a bit more of a progressive plan. Also it should provide more useful information on how to go about getting healthier.

Question

The question is how will the app help and also show improvements for people in terms of losing weight?. So we think that our app being more structured and set out correctly will help the people and the app should hopefully be popular among people.

Mini Elevator Pitch

Our team The App Inventors are developing a mobile app to help anyone who are thinking about eating healthier, losing weight and becoming fitter. This will encourage them to change their lifestyle and that includes eating better foods, a workout plan and advice for them.

User profiles

Our user profile is for mainly people who want to loose weight and want a healthy insight to life.

Solutions and alternatives

On the market there are other guides out there but our solution was to have a fitness guide so we took our app the next stage further. Hopefully with this added the app would be more popular than other similar apps on the market and could hopefully work well for people.

MVP User Stories

Before we chose the healthy eating and fitness guide as our final idea we had to choose between a couple of other ideas. So we thought that the healthy eating and fitness guide stood out amongst the other ideas and rather than being an app just for entertainment and fun it would actually be helpful and will have an impact on change for people. If it works and people on the market like it and started using it then it could hopefully be successful.

Feedback

When people reviewed our app and gave us feedback people said comments like it would be helpful to people out there and it would be quite successful on the market and could contend with other apps out there. Also we were quite happy that a about 50% of people said they might buy the app and it would be good to have. So the feedback we got had some negative comments but we were glad to have some useful positive comments.

One of Our Wireframes

Feasibility

During the designing process of our app so far we have learnt that using data in tables makes the app look more set out well and also is more structured. Our app uses quite a lot of tables and icons e.g. Home, next, start, etc. So the app does have a good range of technical content and we have learnt how to use this a bit more when designing the app. Hopefully when it comes to making the app we will understand more on how to use this content.

Business Model

When we showed our healthy eating app to other people some said that they maybe wouldn’t buy it because they didn’t need it or wouldn’t want to use apps to help them. To try and get people who would want to use the app but wouldn’t feel like using electronic apps then we would try to persuade people by showing the useful content to make the app work and hopefully people would be persuaded.

Our Thoughts

Hopefully our healthy eating and fitness app can have an effect on the market and also encourage people to get more active, fitter and to start eating healthier.
