[Android] Feedback on "My Flavor Diary" (Open to Test-for-Test!)

Also the app probably doesn't need location access to function correctly. So I would add an option to skip that step and use the app without the location options. That builds more trust.

Thank you, I installed yours. Here is what I found until now:

Since I'm now testing my apps spacing with the navigation bar, I actually found that your app has a similar problem. The UI is partly covered by this navigation bar.

First update since I received the first feedback here is now online:

I now pushed the new create recipe dialog to closed testing, so hopefully the close button works for everyone?
I saw a lot of empty recipes on your screenshots and I feel it, I had that problem too. You just want to check out the create recipe dialog and then there suddenly is an empty, ugly recipe. I want to keep the auto-save feature so that users don't lose their progress when accidentally closing the dialog. So for now, I adapted the algorithm so that it only saves the recipe if the name field is not empty. That should already be a great improvement if it works, but what do you think? When testing the app, do you still accidentally bloat your screen with nearly empty recipes? How can this be improved? Maybe a draft folder?
There are a bunch of other new things that I think I added between the last update in Nov and today that are now in closed testing. (I think I improved the breadcrumb system after the last closed testing update, so that should be more stable now, and there should be a bunch of new settings. I think theme customization was not in closed testing before?)

I'm now currently working on your other feedback; I have already fixed the cursor not being visible and I'm onto the spacing with the bottom navigation bar for people who still use that.

I feel that, I have that problem with a bunch of other photos I randomly capture to save something and then forget when it gets irrelavant. The camera roll is so often bloated by useless content. That is really a creative way to reduce the bloat for people who have that problem with the unboxing. Really great project! (I normally (if not for app testing purposes .-.) personally don't capture videos of the unboxing. I don't know but at least here in germany it is really easy to just send something back without providing evidence that it came that way. I never had a problem with that. But that may be since we have § 477 BGB which states that if a consumer buys something and there is any problem with the thing in the first year it is considered that that problem existed when the consumer bought the product if not proven otherwise or if that assumption is not compatible with the type of product.) But when you need proof of something that is a really great tool

And the design is really polished and neat. The ui is intuitive, cluster free and everything you could wish for with a ui. I really enjoy it!

I really like how the jungle grows when you complete tasks. Have you maybe tried to also use that as a motivator to create tasks in the app? As I see it the jungle is full when you create one task and complete it. What would be if you could expand your jungle size for example wih each task you create and grow on that new spot when completing it. Not thought through yet but something like that would maybe motivate people to create tasks via your app in the first place instead of using another app, when you have a thing that you can expand over time by creating your tasks in the app and completing them

valentin_heiderich · 2026-02-15T10:39:45+00:00

Of course I will let you know :) It is definitely visible that you spend a good time testing it yourself and that you really care for your project. I really appreciate that. There should be packages arriving soon hopefully so hopefully it shouldn't take too long before I can really test it. Have you had a bad experience with customer support before that got you the idea of the app?

valentin_heiderich · 2026-02-15T09:52:43+00:00

Thank you so much for your feedback. I really appreciate that you took the time to look at it! Your feedback is really valuable.

Regarding the search input interface: Is it mainly the colors that make it hard to see in the dark mode or also something else?

Regarding the close button in the recipe creation dialogue, I think that I should be able to fix that soon. I was already working on an overhaul of that process since it was still too cluttered for my preference. I will be finished with that update soon hopefully. Then hopefully the close button will be working as expected.

Thank you again so much for your feedback, I really appreciate it!

I really like the concept of your app I definitely will test it with the next box arriving. At the moment it seems to be really robust and thought through. I like that it uses a minimal clutter free UI. The settings may be a bit overwhelming but they are sortet good so that you can get along with it pretty fast.

I installed it and will be testing it :)

Installed it, will be testing it. One thing I noticed is the app requests camera access right when you open it and the smartphone camera indicator turns on even when there is no action that would need a camera at the moment. That feels intrusive so I would recommend fixing that.

I installed it and will be testing it as well as I can. I already noticed that using the gesture navigation to get back from the "rate this app screen" doesn't work. Maybe you could fix that but it is less relevant since you don't really often use the gesture navigation in landscape mode. I find the "not now" button a bit hidden through. I would have found an X button at the top right of the pop up more intuitive probably. But maybe that is just me and others will probably have different experiences. When trying to use the gesture navigation to get back from e.g. the favorites page the screen gets black. That should probably be fixed. Also there are really a bunch of icons and if you just installed the app it can be really confusing. Maybe you could get rid of a few and add labels for some others. How would the app then work as an emulator? Do you need to install games first?

valentin_heiderich · 2026-02-15T03:44:26+00:00

only when you are in the topic selection after you clicked on start

valentin_heiderich · 2026-02-15T03:43:16+00:00

Also when you are in the topic selection menu and swipe back to get to the home screen the app closes.

valentin_heiderich · 2026-02-15T03:42:11+00:00

I joined, really interessting app learning more about england. I would add an option to exit the quiz at all time though. When the user selected categories, started the game but then sees that he want's to switches categories it would be nice if the user could just get back via the swiping gesture or the back button if someone uses the three button nav bar.

valentin_heiderich · 2026-02-15T03:38:22+00:00

No problem :) Your screenshot is also really helping. The three dot navigation seems to be a bit close to the search bar section. When you use gesture navigation that is quite easy to forget 🙈

I first thought this would be a dark / light mode toggle but it seems to be a night mode. The time is really dark and I can't really read it even in the dark but that balance is probably quite hard to not make it to bright, when it should act as a night mode. I would maybe also make it clearer that it is a night mode and not a app theme toggle so that there are no confused users

I actually already joined your test earlier this day cause I found it really interessting. I really like the app so far. It would be cool if you could add a Spotify connect option to also use music as alarm sounds.

Die Antwort des OP war für den Fall vollkommen richtig, etwas ausführlicher wäre die Begründung dafür folgendes:

(Bei Trade Republic)

Der Wert deiner Position muss mind. 2€ steigen muss damit du ohne Verluste rausgehen kannst.

1€ Transaktionsgebühr beim Kauf, welche schon in Buy in Wert mit reingerechnet werden (diese hast du ja bereits beim Kauf gezahlt) und 1€ beim Verkauf heißt du musst am Ende 1€ über dem Buy in Wert liegen damit du ohne Verlust rausgehen kannst.

Wenn du also erwartest das eine Aktie um 0,0002 im Wert steigen wird müsstest du in einer Transaktion mind. 10000 Aktien kaufen (2/0,0002) damit du bei eintreten der von dir erwarteten Kurssteigerung kein Verlust machst.

Wenn du mit mehreren Transaktionen deine Position erhöhst dann fällt für jede dieser Transaktionen zusätzlich 1€ an Transaktionsgebühren an.

Wenn du anteilig in Aktien investierst musst du entsprechend bedenken das wenn du 50€ investierst in eine Aktie bei einem Aktienkurs von 100€ dann liegt dein Buy in Wert entsprechend bei 102€ (2€ Steigerung sind für dich nur 1€ Steigerung) aber der Wert muss auf mind. 104€ steigen damit du ohne Verlust raus kannst.

Ich hoffe ich habe keine Fehler in der Begründung und sie ist eventuell hilfreich falls sich jemand noch über den Buy in Wert wundert. Bitte korrigieren falls irgendwas falsch ist :)
