I think it's important to clarify that I've been trying Joylent just before trying Queal, because I often end up comparing them to see what is good or what could be improved.
I really like Queal's tastes. I haven't tried everything all the flavors but I enjoy having a deep taste, on that point you're really far away from Joylent (or at least in my opinion).
Having the oil appart is slightly bothering, first because it's hard to dose, I always end up putting a bit of it and not minding if it's correct or not. Also there's only one bottle so if I leave some Queal at my job, I'll still need to bring the oil bottle all the time. This could be better.
Also, having salty flavors would be great, maybe pumpkin or leek ?
My final issue is the absence of a vegan version. One of the reasons which make me start joent was to have a cheap, easy and vegetarian meal. Vegan would be even better, I've seen Joylent annonced a vegan version and I would love to see a vegan Queal version coming.
I know i'm asking a lot of extra stuff, but that's because i'm always for focus on enhancement, but do know I was still very pleased with the current version, I think you're doing a great job, continue like this !

Hello Romain!
Thank you for this detailed review, and the valuable feedback.
We are working on some improvements that we hope to announce really soon, that address several of the points you are making here.
I very much hope you will stay up-to-date on our progress and will try Queal again in a short while.
