    I can’t believe I found all of the features of this app in one place. Thank you!
  • Food database is weak. Clearly European. Little to no low fat foods and no ability to add your own

    This is one if the only apps around that give me all the nutritional data free of charge. Love it. It’s very customizable
  • App is helpful planning ones diet.

    The app will give a dizzying list of information about all the foods in its database. It allows one to create and evaluate recipes and evaluate the recipe based on all the information. Emphasis is on foods that could be ingredients in a recipe. I wish it allowed copying ones recipes and revising the copy. I wish that there was an Android version, too.
  • Color scheme

    Typically on charts in my experience reds denote bad things. When I check a food and see all the reds I get an immediate negative opinion. I suggest that the app should only show reds on bad items.
  • Love the detailed information

    I love this app! I needed to watch my iodine intake for my thyroid and this is the only app that I found that tracks iodine.
  • No Value to free version

    Free version is so limited in what it allows I feel it’s worthless.
  • Only General Foods and Not Brand Accurate

    This app would be amazing, except it can’t be because the ingredients in the database are general ingredients and not brand specific. This will cause gross inaccuracies in any nutritional facts you are attempting to calculate. I tried to search a specific oat milk and they had one option only for all oat milks. There are at least 7 I can think of with vastly different nutritional facts. Which one is what they’re using on the app?? I have no idea how they choose what 1 oat milk nutritional facts they should use to cover the vast variety and nutritional contents out there. This app can only work if you know exactly which brand and only use the exact brand they are using for the 1 option per food database.
  • Iodine content NOT accurate

    I purchased this app based on the fact it offers mineral content, particularly iodine. I have to watch this strictly in my diet. Upon comparing the iodine content of multiple items it is obvious many are charted to low in the app. An example would be 1 oz of Nori seaweed contains 6x the amount of mcg then this app claims. Another 5 oz of wild salmon would be about 10x more mcg then app claims. I understand iodine is not something many track but those of us who have to track iodine it is detrimental to our health.

    This keeps adding ingredients from another recipe and when trying to add new ingredients. I just got this, I’ll start playing with it more and update.
