Customer Review: It does what I want it to
I have only been using this application for about 2 weeks now. It really does exactly what I want it to and that is track caloric intake and monitor weight. There are many other things it can do such as tracking workouts (which I don't do), track body measurement (weight, BMI, Body Fat%, etc), medical data (including hours sleep). I can't really complain about a program that offers too much and it is my fault (for lack of a better word) that I don't use all the other functionalities. So, why take off the 1 star? Well, even for the few functions I use, it does not seem all that easy to enter in data even though there is an Input Wizard. This supposedly remembers what you enter in if you save a custom food (something I do often). While it does remember the stats (calories, fat, carbs, etc), it does not enter in the food name?? So basically, I have to enter in the name twice - once in the Input Wizard and once in the Journal itself. Perhaps this is something that could be resolved with a call to the company but it is not that big a deal to me. It is a good program and easily 4 stars. If you can't take the time to enter in data, then perhaps software is not the answer and you should seek out a paper journal. As a side note, I wrote the seller asking when my package would arrive (it was NOT late) and I got a prompt and friendly reply.
Customer Review: Totally disatisfied
I totally hated this program. It is way to complicated for me. I found it much more difficult to operate than I wanted to spend the time on. I found the data base to be ridicules. I was just totally dissatisfied with it.


Enterprise software addresses company-wide business issues, while a software application often solves problems for a functional department. The software can be designed to deal with accounting, sales, inventory, or just about any other aspect of business management. Some of it might be budgeting software dealing with financial areas of the business, and some might be forecasting software that provides sales and demographic information to facilitate decision making. The inherent complexity of enterprise software is the one of major sources for failures.

The phases for putting an enterprise software system into place consists of 1) defining project scope, 2) identifying functionality of the system, 3) functional design, 4) vendor selection for software and hardware, 4) customization, 5) deployment and 6) system testing and user acceptance. Risk management for enterprise software addresses possible risks in each single phase of enterprise software development.

The failures of many large IT projects are often the failures of project scope. In the definition phase, the scope of the projects should not be defined either too broad or too narrow.

The critical risk period in the use of enterprise software is the implementation period. The normal systems and procedures of the organization are either going to adapt to the new software or change completely. As the implementation process takes place, changes must be made in the software in order to accommodate the particular nuances of the company. Since no two companies are identical, no enterprise software package will be totally compatible with every company. The implementation process can take several weeks for a small company, or it can run for a year or more for a large organization.

It is advisable to work closely with consultants from the software vendors at the early phases of the system development. Software vendors bring knowledge of the software and the experience of implementation in other organizations. Your own technical staff and will understand how the existing systems work better. As the implementation is proceeding, training must be done on a department by department basis to insure that employees are aware of the policy changes and format changes that impact them and their work. The training sessions also serve as feedback forums for troubleshooting and debugging.

Testing is the last phase of a system development cycle. Therere many types of testing (unit testing, system testing, user acceptance testing etc.) and each type of testing serves a unique purpose to ensure the quality of enterprise software system. It costs much less to fix software bugs at the development phase. It is estimated that it costs ten times more to fix bugs after the deployment.

Enterprise software is a necessity in information age and knowledge economy to create competitive advantages for organizations of any size. Risk management is one of the critical success fators for the success of enterprise software.
