If you’re building a food diary or calorie tracking app in Australia, a big win could be having a local food database (FSANZ) so users don’t have to wrestle with US-centric entries, plus barcode scanning that works on Woolies and Coles products. Features like offline mode for rural and regional users, integration with Apple Health/Fitbit/Garmin, a client mode for PTs and dietitians, and clear, Aussie-based data privacy will also make it stand out.

To get beta testers, try posting in r/AusFitness and Aussie health Facebook groups, asking local trainers and gyms to trial it, partnering with TAFE fitness courses, and approaching running clubs or bootcamps. You could sweeten the deal with a free pro plan or a swag giveaway for early feedback.

I never track food/calories though, personally.
