iScale needs a new name!

[Derrek Leute]

So, here's some fun stuff for all you avid users out there:

iScale has been trademarked already and I can not continue to use it.
As such I'd appreciate suggestions!

Anyone? Anyone at all?

Unfortunately some of these might already be taken, but I'm betting
"iAnthropomorphize" is still up for grabs!

Some ideas:

WeightMeter
Lose It
Food File

I made a new icon for the app too if you guys want to use it. 

[Derrek Leute]

Here's some fuel for the fire:

We really like the idea of words that mean change. The problem is that
most of these words are big and clunky or already trademarked.

Does anyone know of change in other languages?

Also, we are strongly considering off the wall names like Amazon/
Google. Where the name is completely unrelated but easy to remember.

[Louis]

More ideas:
Transfigure
Healthful
Revise
Evolve

[Ellery Deaton]

iHealth
iHealthy
iNutrition
iPhysique
iBody
iBod (like iPod???)

Sent from my iPhone

[Derrek Leute]

Many of those are taken either by trademark or just generally in use.
But they are definitely good.

Nodens we looked at. Fitwise is a great idea! It can be spelled by

Sorry, I just found a fitwise.com.

I'll keep thinking though:

I like that! I'll have to play with that and similar ideas.

[Colin]

I've completely lost all respect for you and this app after seeing you
named it "iNeedAName".

I know it's only temporarily, at least I hope so, but wow.

[Derrek Leute]

We have to change the name due to a trademark conflict. We don't have
a new name we like yet and we weren't ready to change all our
marketing materials, icons and everything else fast enough for the
trademark problem.

It's a transitional period. We want users to be involved. This isn't a
normal company or a normal product line. The entire product is based
on feedback from users balanced with our development capabilities.

I'm adding more and more ways for people to contribute to the
development. Since we have to legally change the name, that includes
selecting the new name. It is temporary.

--Derrek

[Melanie Sivley]

I still love the app and I appreciate that you are taking your time coming up with a name that fits rather than rushing forward without taking the time to think things out.

Melanie

[Derrek Leute]

Thanks!

That's the thought process exactly. If the price I pay for doing things right is appearing unprofessional, I can live with that. But, rest assured, it won't stay that way for long.

--Derrek

[flipfan]

iCantWeight :)

[Derrek Leute]

:)

I think we are starting to narrow down the options. Once pro is ready
it will be released under the new name.

--Derrek

[Jackie]

iThinkThin
ThinkThin
iMaintain

[Derrek Leute]

OOO!

I like those. The only problem with Thin is we don't want to imply
that you have to be thin to be healthy. I'm not sure if a name that
implies anorexic behavior is a good idea. :) Maybe we are over-
thinking it, but what can I say, I'm a perfectionist.

iMaintain is a great option!

--Derrek

[cogramma]

Another few name ideas for you!

WeightAway
GoneAweight

Looking forward to the Pro Version!

-Patricia

[Lappygirl]

Great App.

I like iWeigh2Much

That's why most people it, cause they DO (me included!), plus, I'm
doing great on my diet and it makes me want to get on the scale
daily....hence weighing to OFTEN, or too much. iWeigh2Much. Works
both ways (weighs?)

Lappygirl

[Derrek Leute]

Yeah, I know this is primarily a "diet" program. But I don't like the
connotation diet has. In my head it's more about being healthy than
being on a "diet". I know that's just symantics, that's just how I've
thought of it. Future features will reflect the drive toward a
"health" app for everyone instead of just a weight loss app.

--Derrek

[Melanie Sivley]

I agree, but it made me think of this, although I don't know if anyone else suggested it.

IAmHealthy!

Not a serious suggestion, just an early morning response to your post.  :-)

Melanie

[Derrek Leute]

iWillBeHealthy? ;)

--Derrek

[Thom]

Nutrate
Nutrous Oxide
Nutritious Oxide
Foodify
Foodtrack
Countermunch
Strategic Munch Detected

[cogramma]

I really like your suggestion of iWillBeHealthy! It has a positive
feel and that is what we are all trying to attain.

You have my vote for this one.....

-Patricia

[Derrek Leute]

Yeah, there are a lot of names suggested that I like. They just don't
sound like apple products. I've been browsing the thesaurus to come up
with something with a positive meaning *and* sounds like something
apple that should be on an iPhone. iScale was that. It's tough to
replace.

--Derrek

[jsi...@gmail.com]

OK, your goals are for health, nutrition, making good choices, etc.
and the name should not be too long and it helps if it's a bit catchy.

iEatRite

iKeepCount

iScaleDown

iAteIt

[Derrek Leute]

Yep. Health related catchy with good icon possibilities. ;)

iKeepCount is probably the best of those. Rite spelling might confuse
people. I'm trying to avoid diet implications as well.

Yeah, I know, I'm a pain and a perfectionist. It happens. It took me
months to come up with iScale.

--Derrek

[mpw]

Maybe already said, but what about "miscale"? Or some var mi-scale?

[Colin]

In the meantime, you should have just renamed it iScaIe. That is, make
the L a capitalized i.

With that being said, I hate all suggested names that begin with i.
That is not clever and never has been clever.

[Derrek Leute]

Point taken. There are a number of non-i names that are good options.
I'm trying to keep it easy to remember/spell and not sound horrible.

--Derrek

[JohnO]

Name Suggestion: LoseIt

[flipfan]

AppleADay

iLikeApples
iEatApple
EatAppleADay

Either these get through the release process fast, or never go out the
door. :)

[Derrek Leute]

Ha! Yeah, apple doesn't like when you use apple. I had an apple icon
for foods that looked very much like their trademark. My app was
rejected the first time based on that.

--Derrek

[DJ]

Fit Tracker (with a paw prints icon?)
iTracker
Fit Calc

Let's get this done already.

[Derrek Leute]

We have some internal candidates nailed down. We haven't made the
change yet because of some long term development decisions that are in
progress. We decided to hold things off and prepare for our long term
plans rather than rush out a new branded version.

But, things are still moving along! We also have a "secret" project
underway which will be announced in the next 3-4 weeks. :)
