About This Podcast
In this episode, we unpack why nutrition apps so often fail to stick, even though they can help change what we eat. We walk through a systematic map of what helps and what hurts, from personal goals and daily routines to app features, usability, trust, and social influence. Listeners will hear how the same feature can motivate one person and frustrate another, and why there is no one size fits all solution. We also translate the review into eight plain language design guidelines for better apps. Along the way, we are candid about limits in the evidence and why tailoring and habit support matter for long term use.
