Weightbot.com – Reset Password and Export Data

We’ve gotten quite a few requests about resetting forgotten passwords and providing a way to access all that weight data. Well, we’ve finally gotten around to finishing it. Just visit weightbot.com. When you log in, the only thing you can do at the moment is export your weight data into a CSV file that’s readable by any spreadsheet application. If you try this from mobile Safari, you’ll just get a read-only table view of the data. We hope to add more features to weightbot.com in the future so look forward to that as well.
A few ideas that came to the top of our heads were a badge that you could place on your website/blog that showed your weight progress graph, or be able to auto-tweet your progress in a set interval. If you have any suggestions on how we could make weightbot.com more useful for you, feel free to leave us ideas in the comments.
Thank you, thank you. I was starting to look around for another solution. Tracking my data on the phone was great, but this is part of a larger change.
Great app. Forgot my password & now it works on your site, but still has not “re-set” on my iPhone. I’ve done the “iTunes > Store > Check for available downloads” and re-synced my iPhone, still no luck with the new password (which works on your site).
Can you provide more detailed instructions?
Greattttttttt design :)))
May I suggest a button to open on a new window to let a comment :
- That could help the user in is effort.
- You will have to download this comment in the export
Bravoooooo
That’s just great news. Thanks for implementing the necessary features. Time to shed some pounds.
Two suggestions for weightbot.com:
How about the ability to import your own data (in .csv format or whatever). I have an excel spreadsheet with quite alot of readings.
The ability to view the data in graph view / progress bar view on a screen larger than the iphones.
I realise this is a web app rather than iPhone app, but i haven’t been able to find a decent desktop/web app example anywhere… You could use the 3.0 api to make the enhanced web app access an in-app purchase and make some more money. :-)
thanks for two great apps. Looking forward to #3
My idea for weightbot.com: add an simple read-only REST API allowing other web services to get weight data.
This would enable services that need your weight to do some calculations (e.g. RunKeeper which tracks your runs and tells you, among other things, approximately how much calories you burned) to have an up to date figure automatically.
but then, where IS the create account site??? I am only seeing a page to login but I can not create account there… bummer. Otherwise cool prog.
You create your account in the Weightbot application itself. Go to the Settings, Backup/Restore, and then there’s a “new account” button in the top right corner.
Just downloaded Convertbot and really like the application, however, in Canada we use the Imp. gallon which is 4.5 L/Gal whereas the only option on the convertbot is US gallon which is 3.8 L/gal.
You have two really nice apps, well done, two things, an online app to view the data collected on the iPod/iPhone that has been backed up, and the ability to export extra data in the csv, possibly things like the total weight loss and BMI etc. both of these things would be great improvements.
What would be a fantastic additional feature after logging in: The ability to enter data and have it synced with the phone’s. There are times when I would rather enter data via the internet. (I tend not to have the iphone as close to me when I weigh, as I weigh au natural, so to speak)
Thanks for having such a smooth process in place. Needed when moving to a new iPhone. Worked like a charm. Thanks.
Love your apps. They are gorgeous! Would be great to be able to track blood pressure in weightbot. I need to track both and would be a pain to need separate apps.
Just a simple question…… I have just replaced my iPod touch. Fow some unknown reason I am unable to set the weithbot application to Lbs rather than the Kg setting. Need help here…..
thanks
