"There's no shortage of foodie apps out there, that help you track your eating habits with a view towards reducing your waistline. But Thryve is a little different.\r\n\r\nLaunched last week on iOS, Thryve is the latest food-tracking app on the block, and places more emphasis not only on how much food you're eating, but how those meals make you feel. So it's not all about calorie-counting.\r\nHow it works\r\nOnce you've signed up, providing basic information about your gender, age and current level of activity, you'll be asked to add your first meal.\r\n\r\nYou snap a photo, then enter pertinent details around it, such as the ingredients. Afterwards, you can also indicate how happy the meal made you by clicking on a little smiley (or sad) face:\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nBefore you complete your meal details, you'll also be asked to alter the slider to indicate how much of one particular food-type was included in your meal. You can then look back at the day and see a split of your food in-take by grains, protein, veggies, dairy and so on.\r\n\r\nYou get a score for every meal entered based on the nutritional content and how much you say you\u2019re eating. So you'll need to be honest...\r\n\r\n\u00A0 \u00A0\u00A0 \r\n\r\nThryve is a beautifully constructed app, and a lot of attention has been given to the design and layout. Certainly, if the calorie-counting credentials that underpin many similar apps put you off, Thryve will likely appeal as it gives a very visual overview of what you've been eating.\r\n\r\nBy focusing on food groups, it suggests what you could be eating more of for a more balanced diet. You can also see how the way you eat compares to the average across the Thryve user-base.\r\n\r\nThryve is a friendlier way to track what you eat, and hopefully improve it.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;We've had some really great, early growth and very vocal, passionate users,&amp;quot; says Caleb Oller\u00A0CEO and Lead Engineer at Thryve. &amp;quot;We're also starting to see some really interesting trends.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nThryve is available to download for free now on all iOS devices.\r\n\r\n\u27A4 Thryve | iOS\r\n\r\nFeat Image - Thinkstock"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
