1. 4/5A few problems

   I didn’t see a tutorial, which I could really use. I find it frustrating that when I want to create a recipe, there are often only brand name versions of ingredients that should just be raw. Since I am not sure what the brands represent nutritionally, this seems odd. I made a sweet potato soup for instance. When I tried to indicate that the recipe calls for 1.25lbs of sweet potatoes, I could not. Instead, there were many brands of sweet potatoes listed and none were available to input in quantities greater than 200 grams (pounds were not an option). I had to calculate grams to pounds and then input several different brands of sweet potatoes at 200-grams each. I had no idea if these were all plain, raw sweet potatoes. This seems really weird. Also, as a vegetarian, I am concerned about niacin intake. I purchased nutritional yeast powder (unfortified). No such thing exists in the database. In general, I want plain foods, not brands, and in standardized measurements. Some foods are available in tbs. some in grams. Some only in ounces. It’s all over the map.

2. 4/5Great app, only tiny improvements needed

   Great app. Everything you wish your home spreadsheet did with pretty colors and 10,000x less effort. Makes it easy to track food quantities. Some people have complained that it doesn’t show summary totals in grams, just percentages—but you can just go to the apple health app to see that over time, which is really great. I wouldn’t change the interface on this app. Wish the health app could also display the DV you set in this app for comparison on those charts. A couple of extra nutrients like omega 3s, maybe biotin, would be great. Splitting hairs but I’d love to see folate breakdown for fortified folic acid foods and natural food folate. Also, I don’t see a way to retroactively add a journal entry. You can move entries from the current day to a previous day that you did at least one entry for, but if you didn’t do any entries yesterday there’s no way to do it retroactively. That would be a helpful feature for those days that get away from you...in the meantime, I guess I just have to stay on top of things!

3. 1/5New items make it less functional

   I’ve used this app for years to help me find ingredients with particular vitamins and minerals that I run low on. With recent updates, my favorites history has been removed (🙁), but also the sorting by vitamin/mineral content has become useless to me because every result is some kind of Native American plant or meat that I absolutely have no access to. (Caribou ice cream??? In central USA???? We don’t even have caribou here, much less caribou ice cream!) I really appreciate that these foods are in the app, but it would be wonderful if there was an option to omit certain categories from the searches and sorting. I also cannot eat fish, so it would help me there too for the nutrient categories that are 90% fish. The sorting limits also appear to be broken, so when I select “all” it still only displays the top 100 results. Just feeling very disappointed in this app in recent years. It used to be my go to for nutrient packed meal plans, but now I can rarely find anything relevant. I will revise this review again if positive changes are made in the future. Currently: if you can eat fish and live in Alaska or among the Plains Indians this may be great for you. If you live in a typical city? Eh.

4. 4/5Good start - I have a number of bugs I want foxes and features added

   As much as there are aspects that are lacking (I’ll get to them) this is a great app in comparison to a lot of the others out there. I haven’t found one with this much detail and flexibility. Short comings: There is a bug (v8.3 currently) that will mess up “pantry” items (things you enter as standard foods not in their exhaustive catalogue) and I get duplicates instead of adding a new item, or an old item replaces the new one. It is bizarre. Same with “recipe” items. When entering a pantry item, it doesn’t allow you to put in decimals of micronutrients, and it doesn’t allow you to put in text to the service description (e.g. just “1” not “1 cup”) In the review of the day’s nutrients, it would be nice to be able to tap on a nutrient and have the contributing items drop down (e.g. what did I eat that had those trans fats in them? Have to look through each food and see what it was). In the profile, you can update all the nutrients, but it doesn’t reliably adjust the number of calories you target for the day. Even if your target is 3,500 (I’m an endurance cyclist, I can burn 8k in a day), it just says I’m at 100% my daily calories, but 60% of the main macros. Lastly, it would be nice to be able to copy foods from one day to another. Dinner one night is lunch the next day, so being able to copy items over would be nice. Overall I have found it helpful to dial in my micronutrients with this app and appreciate the variety of macros in common foods. I’ll be sticking with it, but with the wish list above.

5. 4/5Simple and Accurate

   Some time after using this app, I've realized it frequently miscalculated percentages of nutrients. The app is basically useless if it tells me I'm getting 0% of a vitamin when I'm actually getting 50%. Earlier review: This app is very impressive and has a great, intuitive, user friendly platform. The food items are quite generic and there are some missing (like bok choy), which is a bummer, but the data seems accurate which is important for me (I see that it comes from the USDA). It competes with MyFitnessPal. However, it would be GREAT if it broke down protein, fat, and carb percentages per day. And it would be nice if it included omega-3 which is critical. Lastly, I'd like to be able to go back and change food items for a previous date. I want to reiterate that the food items are very generic so MyFitnessPal has a leg up because of that--however, I prefer quality of accuracy over quantity of items. Anyway, thanks a lot for a great and useful app! I'm updating this review to say that I've noticed that sometimes the nutrients don't add up properly, which is very frustrating. Sometimes I add a food and the values become lower. Especially with vitamin B5. It's important for me because I'm fighting allergies. Could you please fix that? Thanks again!
