What make us stand out from the competition?
Our app groups recipes by categories.
For instance, all the muscle building, antioxidant, and cancer-preventing recipes are well organized into different categories.
Our app has a filter feature that allows users to sift and choose what components they are looking for in a recipe.
Our ‘Targeted Recipes’ feature displays recipe categories that ingratiate to the users’ recipe preference, health goals, and needs.
During the sign-up process, users will answer what sort of recipes they are interested in, so then the app can personalize their dashboard to match their needs.
Our app offers shop by recipe feature.
Users can shop and customized recipe ingredients of the recipe we provides. After deciding the specific health recipe they want , they can move on to choose the necessary components they need and then have the ingredients delivered directly to their door.
Our app promotes local cooking events.
Users are able to browse through cooking events available in their area. These promoted events will encourage users to learn more about healthy eating, tips and know-how for preparing meals.

This project conduct for three months. During these months we were learning while doing. My team members and I have a tacit understanding. We collaborate in harmony. The hardest part of this project is we decide to reduce the function of the App. Since I know, we should focus on the recipes rather than calories calculate, and activity analyzes role. Besides, there's a lot of App already do the calories calculate, and iOS system also including the exercise analyze function. Therefore, we cut off these two.
I appreciate my team members always give me great support. We glad our working hard comes out a good result.
