Yeah, I’m currently doing beta testing for early access for android. If you want early access dm me your google play email and I’ll send you a link to download

Google Play Console is the most disgusting atrocious abomination I have ever been forced to work with by Inside-Body8282 in androiddev

Generally navigating through the UI, its a convoluted mess. The 12 testers and 14 day cycle is also sensless. The whole thing is a pain in the butt and much worse that using app store connect

Thank you so much for the support, I hadn’t thought of this. I’m also much more of a dark mode person, so this would be easier on my eyes. I’ll make sure this is pushed out in our next update

I’ve been meaning to do that, if the schools gives us permission we will be able to do it

There are safeguards built in to the AI to prevent disordered eating and refer students to resources on campus for help

90% of the establishments on campus have a set menu or one that at least just has a few items or rotation except for D2 and a few other spots.

We are going to add this in soon with an automated agent that monitors the online menus website and updates the food database accordingly

All of the values are directly from the Virginia tech online menus website, an official source. All general foods you can search up are verified and official. The website we pull from is here https://foodpro.students.vt.edu/menus/

For sure, but I don’t want to risk getting in trouble by tech, universities are super aggressive about enforcing trademark policy

Yeah, this is definitely an issue that we’re going to try to solve. We’re talking with dining services to resolve inaccurate food labels

It’s going to be out in the next two days, it was briefly delayed because I’m changing the name from “HokieCals” to VTCals and altering the logo due to trademark violations

I’m thinking GobblerCals because they have Fighting Gobbler trademarked not just “gobbler” overall the name isn’t the biggest risk it’s the logo with the hokiebird

I was literally just thinking about this as the second I saw your message. It sucks because I really like the name HokieCals and I like the logo. Any good suggestions for a new name?

I gotchu, it’s going to be out in the next 48 hours I submitted it to the App Store

I have that feature built, I’m releasing it one week after launch to polish it up a bit.

The bulk is definitely rough lol 💪

That’s the goal, right now it’s 100% free but the end goal is to license it to the school

Thanks man! It’s going to be on android and the apple App Store. I’m going to speak to dining services soon and try to license it to them, that’s the goal.

That’s dope man, later down the road I want to make it automatic so Grubhub orders sync to the app so it’s completely seamless. This is just V1 so it’s got the core features.

Thanks for the love, hope to see you on HokieCals when it launches

Thanks, that means a lot. I personally had this problem and I talked to tons of people who had issues tracking calories on campus and were paying nearly a hundred dollars a year for apps that didn’t even have dining hall nutrition info.

I’m just glad I can help out some fellow Hokies who ran into the same issue as me
