One of the best calorie counter and weight loss apps, MyFitnessPal, launched in September 2005, aims to encourage adherence to exercise and diet goals using gamification and habit building elements. Developed by Mike Lee, to track nutrients, users can scan barcodes of various food items or manually locate them in the app’s large pre-existing database. With over 500 healthy recipes and 50 workouts, the popular app has access to 14 million foods and includes metrics to track exercise and calories.
On February 4, 2015, MyFitnessPal was acquired by Under Armor in a $475 million deal. At the time of this acquisition MyFitnessPal had 80 million users. In January 2017, founders Albert Lee and Mike Lee left the company to pursue other business ventures.
On October 30, 2020, Under Armor announced that MyFitnessPal would be sold to private equity firm Francisco Partners for $345 million, closing Endomondo, and the sale was complete in December 2020.
