Summary: Has a lot of room for improvement
Review: The Vivonic software works well, let me preface this review with that statement. It does what it promises. However, the serious fitness guy/gal is going to want more. I want links to fitness programs (i.e., Asimba's pay services (not just the wimpy free ones that are listed on the Vivonic web site), or eDiet's programs, etc.) In addition to the lack of connectivity the software needs a better list of foods and their caloric, fat, protein, and carb composition. And, it doesn't take snacks into consideration. You have to add snacks to your breakfast, lunch, or dinner numbers in the software to count them. We need a Vivonic Pro version, this one gets useless really fast if you're serious about tracking your food intake and exercise regiment. How about some upgrades? I'm pretty sure the website hasn't been updated since I bought this software 8 months ago. Let's go guys! Let's get that rating up to 5 stars!

Summary: Does exactly what it says
Review: This is a wonderful application. It allows you to track your diet and execise routines, giving you important feedback about how you're progressing (especially for those who are on the Atkins, Zone, or other diets where you must monitor your balance of carbs, proteins, and fats). For instance, I was surprised to see the huge amount of sodium I was consuming each day.
I think that the people who were having functionality problems were dealing more with lack of knowledge with how to work the program than from the programs inadequacy. The program provides a great deal of flexibility and customization.
All in all, if your looking for a handy way of tracking your diet and excercise on the run, this is the thing for you.

Summary: Useless With New Palm
Review: This was a good program but has not been updated since 2000 and is not compatible with newer Palms. Website support does not respond.

Summary: Couldn't even get it loaded.
Review: Wellllll... I downloaded the Palm demo version from the website to see how this would compare to DietLog. (I was looking for a program to use on the PC AND the Palm.) I double-clicked on the icon on my desktop and followed the on-screen instructions. Supposedly this was to have put the correct file in the Install tool. Not at all. I tried this several times (I don't know why) and it never worked. I wish there was a zero-star rating, I feel like even a one-star rating is too high. DietLog is far superior for tracking food intake. (Breakfast, Snack, Lunch, Snack, Dinner, Snack) The only thing DietLog doesn't have is a version for the PC.
