Narrow the focus to increase functionality – Blood Test Grapher Review

It is an ambitious app... perhaps a bit too ambitious. It is ostensibly to track and graph your blood test results, but it also wants to be a weight loss/diet/exercise tracker as well as medical expense tracker. It comes with 19 tests pre-entered, but it is kind of an odd collection in my opinion. It includes 8 of the 15 tests normally included on a CBC. If they were going for 'just the basics' why include MCV/MCH/MCHC?!? It also has 4(+1) somewhat randomly selected tests off a normal Metabolic Panel: AST, ALT, Protein and Albumin. As well as 4 of the 5 tests from a Cholesterol Panel- missing only the VLDL test. The (+1) from the Metabolic Panel is the 'blood sugar' (aka glucose) test, but for some inexplicable reason it is all the way at the bottom and preset to 'hidden' along with HbA1c(the test for diabetic control). Of all the tests on here these two, along with the cholesterol test, would be the tests most likely to be tracked by people also interested in the diet/exercise/weigh loss aspect of the app. YES, it is possible to manually add additional tests, BUT if you plan to add more than a couple, it will be a very time consuming process. Additionally, I could find no way to re-order or group the test list. (So if I added the VLDL test it would not be with the other cholesterol tests, but alone up at the top of the list.) Obviously there are a zillion blood tests out there, and people have different needs. Perhaps your 'in app purchases' could include different test panels 'Complete Thyroid Panel', 'The Auto-immune Panel', and so on. There are already plenty of weight loss trackers and expense trackers in the app store. Despite the name, blood test tracking appears to be the afterthought instead of the main focus. In it's current incarnation, I think it will be easier to just use the spreadsheet app.
