. Set an age range for the child, from 2-14, so that appropriate daily serving sizes are used
. Receive tips and reminders on eating vegetables and fruit as part of their daily routine and habits

The app was developed by the patient organisation, the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada with the Canadian Institute of Health Research and the Dalhousie Healthy Populations Institute (HPI).
The app:
. Draws on a decade of research at the Institute into how diet and physical activity behaviours impact on youth health
. Works towards a recommended ratio of 60% vegetable to 40% fruit in daily servings to ensure a healthy balance of both.
