RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov 18, 2024--

MacroFactor, a fast-growing food tracking app, is proud to announce it has won the prestigious Google Play Best of 2024 Award in the “Best Everyday Essential” category in the United States, Canada, Great Britain, and Australia.

Since its launch in 2021, MacroFactor has continually improved and evolved by releasing new, innovative feature sets and actively listening to and engaging with their user base via dedicated communities and a public roadmap. The app has grown to more than 200,000 paying users, and the company is poised to launch its second app – a workout app – in early 2026.

MacroFactor is a smart macro tracker and nutrition coach. Users track their weight and the foods they eat, and the app’s smart metabolic algorithms adjust their calorie and macro targets to keep them on track toward their stated goals. In 2024, MacroFactor introduced features that improved both of these utilities for users – such as a label scanner for faster food logging, a data pipeline for users to submit new barcodes and foods to the database, and nutrition coaching updates that help users better understand their nutrition and resolve challenges they are facing.

“MacroFactor’s success is really a testament to how far you can get by having a singular focus on solving problems for users,” said Greg Nuckols, one of MacroFactor’s co-founders and an expert in human physiology. “Whether that’s developing unique algorithms to help users better determine appropriate energy intake targets for their goals, delivering best-in-class analytics for users that want a better understanding of what they eat, or developing innovative food logging workflows that dramatically reduce the friction and increase the convenience of food logging, we understand that people use our app with specific goals in mind, and we understand what we can do to help them achieve those goals. Ultimately, I think that is what has allowed us to stand out in a crowded market.”

DORTMUND, Germany (AP) — Borussia Dortmund’s sponsorship deal with an arms maker profiting from wars in Ukraine and elsewhere looks set to be a major topic for discussion at the club’s AGM on Sunday.

The Schwatzgelb Dortmund fanzine has published a motion from fan Wilfried Harthan on behalf of the Heinrich Czerkus supporters’ group calling on the club to terminate the deal with Rheinmetall “as soon as possible”, and that it should not be extended beyond the end of its term in 2026 “under any circumstances.”

Rheinmetall is the world’s largest maker of artillery ammunition and expects to make record group sales of around 10 billion euros ($10.6 billion) this year. Trade has been helped by conflicts in Ukraine and elsewhere.

Schwatzgelb says on its website that the three-year collaboration with Rheinmetall announced by the club last May was a huge surprise for most fans, coming three days before their team lost to Real Madrid in the Champions League final.

The deal “has since shaped the club’s external image. For many Schwatzgelbe (Dortmund fans), it calls their identification as members of Borussia Dortmund into question,” Schwatzgelb said.

Many Dortmund fans already showed their opposition to the deal with protests around and during the team's first Bundesliga game of the season in August.

Rheinmetall in February announced the construction of a new factory at its existing site in Unterluess in northern Germany, with annual production capacity for 200,000 artillery shells, 1,900 tons of explosives, and possibly rocket engines and warheads.

“Those who manufacture weapons of war do not profit from peace, but from war,” Schwatzgelb said.

Founded in 1889 as “Rheinische Metallwaaren- und Maschinenfabrik Actiengesellschaft,” the Düsseldorf-based company was one of Germany’s biggest armaments manufacturers during both World Wars. It made use of forced labor during World War II.
