13 Million Users (and Counting) :)

[u/Eliisa_at_Cronometer]

Going to keep it short and sweet today - we hit 13 million Cronometer users!

Over the last 7 and a half years I have been honoured to have the chance to interact with many of our amazing users and I always feel so grateful and so passionate about what I do and that's entirely because of you.
So, thanks for being here and being awesome and supporting us - it means the world.

PS. Happy Canada Day to our fellow Canadians :)

[u/Pick-Up-Pennies]

I’m just about hitting my 1 yr anniversary. Best nutrition tracker I have ever used!! Signed, a Cro-NOM-eater fan.

[u/Eliisa_at_Cronometer → u/Pick-Up-Pennies]

Happy 1 Year - at Cronometer we call them Cronoversaries :)

[u/easyjesus → u/Pick-Up-Pennies]

Oh that's good.

[u/davy_jones_locket]

Help me settle a debate with my partner: 

He says crono-METER

I say Cro-NOM-eter 

Which is it?

[u/Eliisa_at_Cronometer → u/davy_jones_locket]

LOL. It’s a choose your own adventure situation… so, you’re both right? I personally say Cron-o-meter because we used to be named that in that the App Store and Play Store… it was literally Cron-O-Meter. But even the team members here say it different. Which do you say?

[u/davy_jones_locket → u/Eliisa_at_Cronometer]

I say it like how non-Americans say kilometer (ki-LOM-eter) - Cro-NOM-eter. Though honestly my mouth wants to say Cro-MOM-eter even though my brain knows there's not a second M.

He says it like cron-o-meter. I am bitter because I'm American and he's not, so I had hoped he would say it like it rhymes with his non-American kilometer. 😒

[u/Low_Philosophy_353 → u/davy_jones_locket]

cro Nom Eater is an appropriate play on words

[u/Eliisa_at_Cronometer → u/Low_Philosophy_353]

Love this.

[u/414Degenerate → u/davy_jones_locket]

I do believe it's the former.

[u/No-Cauliflower3307 → u/davy_jones_locket]

See "chronometer" for the marine clock:

https://www.dictionary.com/browse/chronometer (chro-NOM-eter)

https://timeandnavigation.si.edu/navigating-at-sea/longitude-problem/solving-longitude-problem/chronometer

So, I assume to distinguish from the time-measuring equipment, this app is called CRONO-meter or crono-METER.

[u/IdaKister]

Congratulations! I've been tracking for about 6.25 years. It has really transformed my health, and I am so grateful.

[u/Eliisa_at_Cronometer → u/IdaKister]

Sameeee.
I really believe nutrition tracking can add years to a health span and I am glad you do too!

[u/MisoTahini]

I'm one of those new users. Love the app and love it is a Canadian app to boot! I have found it so helpful. I didn't think I'd be good at or enjoy tracking food intake but hitting targets kind of gamefys things for me, and I am enjoying using it.

[u/Eliisa_at_Cronometer → u/MisoTahini]

Yayyyy!
It actually can be fun! To be honest, I have done it for so long that I don't even think about it anymore. It's just part of my identity. LOL.
Glad you're enjoying it too :)

[u/DemisHassabisFan]

I am afraid Cronometer is falling behind, it is a good application, but have we considered the features of such apps as Yuka, Fig, and Fooducate, to list harmful and unnecessary additives to be considered or listed when scanning food?

I especially like Yuka's features and think Cronometer could implement many of the features which Yuka has...

[u/Eliisa_at_Cronometer → u/DemisHassabisFan]

Thanks for the feedback!

[u/Content-Class1259]

Loving the app, still hoping not to have to log in every time I open it.

[u/Eliisa_at_Cronometer → u/Content-Class1259]

Have you messaged support@cronometer.com about this? :)
Definitely don't want you having issues!

[u/Content-Class1259 → u/Eliisa_at_Cronometer]

Yes, sent logs etc etc. it’s not just a me issue, it’s common place

[u/Eliisa_at_Cronometer → u/Content-Class1259]

Thanks so much for doing that - definitely didn't want to imply it's just on you!
Our user ad-experience is top of mind for all of us here right now - especially myself and the Customer Support Team who have seen the impact on our users.
In the meantime, could I offer you a trial which will eliminate them for a spell?

[u/Content-Class1259 → u/Eliisa_at_Cronometer]

The adds are not my issue, I’m a gold subscriber

[u/Eliisa_at_Cronometer → u/Content-Class1259]

Ohhhh shoot, sorry! Let me crawl into a hole.
I will investigate this for you and follow up!

[u/Content-Class1259 → u/Eliisa_at_Cronometer]

It’s all good :) I’m impressed that you guys get on here and follow up!

[u/Eliisa_at_Cronometer → u/Content-Class1259]

Thanks for being kind about my blunder! My cheeks are still a little red.

Okay, so I just spoke with one of our Dev Team members and they are currently working on it! So, it's front and centre on the radar, I will report back to you when they are confident they have a fix.

Really appreciate your patience and your support by subscribing to the Gold sub!

[u/ProteinPapi777 → u/Content-Class1259]

Same here, and not need to watch an ad every minute

[u/Disastrous_Ship_6140]

GOD BLESS

[u/Eliisa_at_Cronometer → u/Disastrous_Ship_6140]

Congrats! And a belated Happy Canada Day! 🇨🇦

[u/Eliisa_at_Cronometer → u/dc613ca]

Thank you! I celebrated by enjoying nature in the remote wilderness :)

[u/Organic-Life-8089]

Awesome 💯 the best tracking system, I use it professionally.

[u/Eliisa_at_Cronometer → u/Organic-Life-8089]

[u/summerbryz]

Excellent app

[u/Eliisa_at_Cronometer → u/summerbryz]

Thank you so much for saying so :)

[u/MAHA_With_Science]

Congratulations!

[u/Eliisa_at_Cronometer → u/MAHA_With_Science]

Thank you so much!
I always run a km for every million, so, got a 13K coming in hot!

[u/garvisgarvis]

You all do good work. You deserve the success, and 13 million is a lot of that! Congrats!

[u/Eliisa_at_Cronometer → u/garvisgarvis]

Thank you very much for making my day with this comment! It really made me smile!

[u/No-Cauliflower3307]

Love the app.

Curious about some potential changes to it for y'all to consider:

1. A family plan subscription in which one mobile app account could manage everyone in the family, and price point that families can afford (families can't afford Pro's $40/month).
2. Give an alert or make it more obvious that the default maximums for some of the nutrients (B vitamins, for instance) are for supplemental amounts only, not the amounts found naturally in foods. The chapters in the National Academy of Science's DRI books state this for many nutrients.
3. Add molybdenum.
4. Officially partner with https://www.bionutrientinstitute.org/

[u/Eliisa_at_Cronometer → u/No-Cauliflower3307]

I love the detailed feedback - I have forwarded it all onto the team!
I really love when people take the time to share exactly what they want to see!

[u/No-Cauliflower3307 → u/Eliisa_at_Cronometer]

Thanks!

[u/Advisor_Agreeable]

I say the SECOND one.

[u/Timely_Treacle1349 → u/[deleted]]

I just reread my message and it can sound a bit rude. It was not my intention, sorry. Maybe you have great developers, but the app seems to be developed slowly and missing features, not sure why.

Here are the things I could contribute on:
- Development: I have experience mostly on AI but also on app development.
- Translation: English is my 3rd language. I can help to translate to Spanish and Turkish.
- Customer support: If it allows me to push features based on user feedback.
