The other significant new feature in the new version of Lose It is Strava integration. This allows you to link Lose It to Strava and automatically log your running and biking activity.

Speaking of Premium, you can now see what’s new in Premium by tapping the new silver scale icon on the top left corner of the My Day section.
The new version of Lose It also includes an updated food database.
Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad running iOS 5.0 or later, Lose It! is available on the App Store for free, with in-app purchases offered for unlocking Premium subscriptions.
