    the app looks same or similar to fitness apps. As myself I found the apps difficult in managing while doing exercises because you have to constantly do this in phone. I prefer not to .So build something where it would not require manual efforts or minimum manual effort.

    looks like even the apple logo in the appstore button is vibecoded.

    What do you do about portion size, and the calories a photo can't see like oil or dressing? Those are the parts that have always made me distrust the number these apps spit out. Curious how you're handling it. Only looked at the landing page so far.

    Some other similar apps do the same thing but it's hard to provdie right and accruate inforation just based on photos by using LLM & OCR. any special design you did in this app?

      What was the phrase in the Apple developer guidelines?

      "Certain kinds of apps, such as dating, flashlight, sound effects, wallpaper, simple timers, and fortune telling, are well established on the App Store and we will not accept new submissions unless they offer a meaningfully different or improved experience"

      Arguably, this isn't a meaningfully different or improved experience (it's the same boring thing as every other photo-as-calorie-counter-that-never-works-right, unless you count them adding monetization through a 'premium' subscription as a meaningfully different experience), so Apple should have just tossed it from the platform.
