1. 3/5Useful but glitchy

   If you are following a low fermentation potential diet, this is very helpful, but not perfect. When I create custom recipes, I will often look back at my recipes to find that oddly items have been swapped out. This happened multiple times so I ended up editing the recipe to list an entirely different ingredient and that seemed to fix it but it made my recipes inaccurate. Also, sometimes when I’m on a certain day, which I’ve double checked, I go to add a food, and it puts it on the previous day. Then I have to edit it, and it goes in the right place but there’s just a variety of glitchy things like this. A couple of times I’ve added “sucrose (table sugar)” to a recipe and looked later and it said “splenda.” of course, that could’ve been an error on my end but then I would redo it and come back and find the same weird glitch! Also, I would love it if there was someway to export a tab delineated / spreadsheet document of some kind for me to have a better view of my trends and symptoms, etc.

2. 5/5Great addition to the book or alone

   This app is a great addition to Dr Norm Robillard's "Fast Tract Diet" book. I appreciated having the additional information and explanations in the book. That said, I think you would still gain huge benefits from just using this app alone as well. To the woman who can't find foods easily, look for the little looking/magnifying glass at the top of the screen in the app. If you tap on that, you can "search" for foods. I do that most of the time. The "FP Food Lists" are helpful when I want a food in a particular category, but not sure exactly what I want to eat or shop for. I can go, for example, to the "Grains, Flours" section and see which ones have the lowest FP from which to choose. I LOVE the built-in FP calculator and being able to add my own custom foods or recipes to the database so I can really customize the app for me. The meal & symptom trackers are super helpful and love the graphical display of that info on the "Dashboard" section.

3. 2/5Update April 2016

   April 2016 I decided to update my review and lower to only two stars not because I believe that app was not useful. It was. I say was. While I wrote and received responses back on a few other bugs in this app this last one rendered it useless for me. After spending well over a month entering in my daily food items using the app as a guide on what to eat it is now all lost! I updated my I pad to a new one. I did all the backups and double backups. None of that data transferred over to the new I pad. Had this app for $8 been able to sync over to different devices (as even free apps can do) I would of had it on my phone. So now what! start all over again. Think not. Paper or excel can work fine recording my data. More work but less chance of loss. Had I known this before I never would of bought it. Buy it you only have one device and never plan on replacing it. Otherwise skip. By the way, tech folks nice, But not very helpful. Thank you.

4. 5/5Great

   This is a great app. Not sure why the other reviewer mentioned not being able to search for specific items. Just click the search icon and type in the name of the food. I almost didn't buy the app because of mixed reviews, but I have been able to return purchases before through the App Store, so I thought I'd try it out. It doesn't have all the foods I eat, but you can pick a food that is similar. I also like that you can add your own foods. So if there is something I eat a lot, I could add up the FPs (like a rice cake with almond butter). Then I don't have to input those two ingredients separately in the future. Good app to help you figure out your FPs. My gastro NP said to have 15 FPs per meal.

5. 3/5Good start but needs work

   After purchasing the book, I chose to invest in the iphone app as well. I was hoping there would be more integration between the book and the application, including the recipes for the two week diet plan, which would help with shopping. The recipes are not included in the app. I was also hoping the application would include, in the foods list, the meals from the book, so that we could easily track the FP values of those meals, but that is also not available. Nor is it possible to simply input the pre-calculation FP values of the meals from the book. This last issue also brings up the poor user interface of the custom foods option. There appear to be sliders for inputting values such as carbs, fiber, etc... but only the glycemic index slider is actually functional. This seems to be an developer error/oversight that indicates the application design has not been well thought through or tested, or supported in updates. As I said, I am investing in the tools it takes to tackle health issues, but it would be nice if the tools worked as well as they really could. Get the recipes, the two week diet, the user interface issues cleared up and it's five stars from me. I really want this application to be the Go-To Tool. I want it to succeed!
