Lose It! vs Vitalume
Lose It! has been reliable for years; Snap It gives it basic photo logging. But it has no adaptive targets, no meaningful coach, and no training or recovery layer. Vitalume turns the diary into a coach that reacts to how you train and recover, on your phone, your wrist and your home screen.
