See what is new, what has been fixed, and how BiteBalance is becoming calmer and more reliable during closed beta.
Everyday flows feel calmer and more dependable
This June update makes Profile, setup, food logging, and moving between days and screens clearer and more reliable.
Fix: First load
Key screens are ready sooner.
Profile and Search open faster on the first visit, while Dashboard starts in the right place more consistently.
Improvement: Onboarding
Setup fits more phones comfortably.
Cleaner target cards and more responsive spacing reduce clipping on smaller iPhone and Android screens.
Fix: Barcode scan
Scanning picks up where you left off.
Returning from a scanned item restores the camera more reliably, with fewer missing or stale previews.
Improvement: Food logging
Logging a food feels less crowded.
Search cards, serving edits, meal times, item details, and the main Log action now work together with less visual friction.
Improvement: Dashboard & Log
Your daily view is easier to scan.
Dashboard, Log, hydration, date labels, sorting, and bottom spacing have been tuned for a more consistent daily experience.
Privacy: Health permissions
Health Connect explains what it needs.
When Android access is missing, BiteBalance can ask for the right permission directly instead of sending you hunting through Settings.
Privacy: Local data
A damaged local setup no longer has to stop the app.
If protected data on the phone can no longer be opened, BiteBalance preserves those files and starts clean instead of crashing.
Fix: Targets
Targets match more consistently after setup.
Fiber and nutrition previews now line up more closely with the values shown on Dashboard after first launch.
Fix: Navigation
Quick taps are less likely to leave a stale screen.
Day changes, scanner handoffs, and fast navigation are better protected against half-loaded or out-of-date views.
Safer diagnostics and a smoother first run
This update reduced sensitive detail in release logs, improved camera recovery, and made the first trip through BiteBalance more dependable.
Privacy: Release logging
Release logs expose less scanner detail.
Barcode values and full scanner errors are no longer written to release logs.
Feature: Daily rhythm
Meals can use time-aware labels.
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner windows can now guide log labels, Dashboard meal slots, and next-meal timing.
Feature: Food previews
Food images appear in more places.
Search, barcode, batch scan, and edit-entry previews can show a matching food image while staying useful when no confident match is available.
Fix: Camera recovery
Camera permission changes are easier to recover from.
If camera access is blocked or changed, BiteBalance offers a clear retry or Settings option instead of leaving a dark or stale preview.
Fix: First run
The first trip through the app is more reliable.
Startup, onboarding, navigation, and early Dashboard loading are less likely to stop on a stuck or half-ready screen.
Core setup and food logging came together
This checkpoint connected setup, food search, scanning, logging, health permissions, and a more consistent interface across the beta.
Tester feedback: Setup
Setup works by voice or by hand.
Voice-guided setup gained a manual option, clearer corrections, and better support across different phone sizes.
Feature: Food logging
Search, scan, and log now connect.
Food search, item details, barcode scanning, Dashboard data, and the Log screen became one connected daily flow.
Privacy: Health permissions
Health connections explain their permissions.
HealthKit and Health Connect each gained a review screen, a direct Settings link, and permission-based daily updates.
Improvement: Interface
Core screens feel more consistent.
Dashboard, Log, item previews, popups, and shared controls began using the same visual patterns and interaction language.
