FatWatch 1.3 submitted for review

I submitted FatWatch 1.3 to the App Store earlier this week.  The biggest change you will notice is the chart: the final design is different even from the preview screenshot I posted earlier.  It is much better looking and significantly easier to read.

At this point I could spend more time working on the chart, for example, making it zoomable.  However, I think if you are really passionate about data visualization you probably want to do it on your computer, which has a much larger screen.  So, future versions of FatWatch will focus on viewing charts on your computer, extending the capabilities of Wi-Fi Import/Export.

Also, setting a Goal weight in FatWatch 1.3 will affect both the Chart view and the Trend view.  In the Chart view, a dashed green line will be drawn to show your planned path from your current weight to your goal weight.  In the Trends view, FatWatch will compare your actual progress to your plan and let you know if you are ahead or behind schedule, and what date you can be expected to reach your goal.

Various combinations of weight history, start dates, goal weights, etc. made a lot of room for bugs.  I tested as thoroughly as I could, but if you see something that doesn’t look quite right, let me know!
