BariatricPal Mobile App Beta for iOS!



Recommended Posts

Hey BariatricPal members, we’re finally ready to release the first beta version of our very own BariatricPal Mobile app for iOS! This new release is a complete rewrite of the mobile app from the ground up. In addition to the forums, we’ve also added native magazine support and user galleries to the new app. The ability to “Like” posts and other content has also been overhauled to support reactions in addition to simply liking content.

While we have dedicated a tremendous amount of time into development and testing of the new BariatricPal app, we do expect there to be bugs and issues in this early release. We are hopeful that you are interested in helping us make the BariatricPal mobile app the absolute best in can possibly be. We welcome all of you to join and test the BariatricPal app and absolutely all feedback will be greatly appreciated.

You’re welcome to post feedback, comments and suggestions directly to this topic, or e-mail us at app@BariatricPal.com. If you’re ready to join in, simply fill out the form below with your Apple ID e-mail address and your BariatricPal username and we’ll send you an invite with all of the information you need as soon as possible.

Thank you and happy testing!!

Here’s one:

I quoted a comment on the app. It shows the quote to be originated by myself, not the poster, and some crazy date and time as well.

Excellent - thank you so very much for finding and reporting this bug! This is what will help us get the app experience to be as good as possible!

P.S. How has the app been working for you in general?

Thanks again!

In general it’s fine so far. I’ll play around with it some more to figure if there’s anything else that can be streamlined or fixed.

I’ve got one...is it possible to add/see what topic or sub topic a thread is coming from? Currently it’s just listed as the thread topic. Wouldn’t know if it’s meant to be in the powder Room, the Men’s Room, Rant/Rave, Nutrition, Exercise, Pre or Post Ops, or even what WLS topic.

The above suggestion is for under the FEED. No editing ability?

I get to rest my case...this morning I tried to comment and kept getting NO PERMISSIONS. At first, I thought maybe it's a glitch and then I logged on to the website by computer and saw that the thread I was trying to comment on is in the Veteran's Forum. So, no wonder why I couldn't post. Thus, there is no way to tell what forum a thread is in on the app, under TRENDING and TIMELINE. Only way is to access the forums by subject is under FORUM. But if the TRENDING and TIMELINE and even FOLLOWING is like the dashboard of the app, it'll make sense to be able to see what the forum topics are for each of the threads. Make sense?

Is anyone else having trouble with their notifications on the phone app? Mine gives me an error message every time since the most recent update.

Two bugs to report... I can no longer quote individuals in the iOS app. Also, when trying to change my profile picture, it keeps saying validating session and never updates.

I keep reading that there is a link to report offensive posts but I sure don’t see it on my iPhone. Can someone give more specific location information?

I'm so excited about the launch of the new BariatricPal Mobile App Beta for iOS! I'm looking forward to giving it a try and to giving my feedback. I'm sure with all of us testing and giving feedback, this app will be the absolute best it can be! I'm sure there will be some bugs and issues, but that just makes us part of the team to help make the app even better! Also, I'd like to give a shout-out to https://smartengines.com/ for their advanced AI products with a wide range of capabilities for mobile applications.

Soooo…. I’m a new user. I have to say the app is great in theory but it is a tad bit “clunky “ to navigate.

When I went to update my profile with my date of birth the pop up came up and was all white. I could not see anything it took me a lot of trial and error to finally get my date in there. mostly it was just swiping and tapping then checking if I was right.

Also I have not been able to figure out how to reply to anyone’s original post. When I go to the post from the email notifications it gives me the “reply to this post” option but not when I am in the feed and click on a post. I’m using an IPhone
There are a few other things but I will play around with it for a while. My son does app work and website design so he has been helping me.

I think the app needs more definition for each category >post>replies

Like I said I’m new so it will take me a minute to get through the process

Hey there. I know I posted before but I can not edit that post so I am just doing another one. This is what I was talking about. Some of the areas that you are entering text (profile date of birth pop out) this was trying to make the previous post to create a new topic. I am not sure if anyone else is having this problem. But I can not see anything I am typing. This is what it looked like when I was trying to type. I had hit submit before I took the screenshot. I had to highlight the whole thing to read it before I posted.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
