Waste of $

It crashes ALL the time! Very frustrating. Other than that its okay, but I did find a better one. I would have preferred not to waste $3 on this one....

Not for those uneducated about nutrition

This app only contains brand name or restaurant foods. So if you were trying to decide between a piece of fish or lean ground turkey at the supermarket this would be of no help to you. It also does not use any kind of expert judgement. It gives a salmon fillet a poor grade citing a high ratio of fat and cholesterol without taking into consideration that salmon is an excellent source of GOOD cholesterol (the kind that fights bad cholesterol), unsaturated fat which you need in your diet to a small extent to dissolve fat soluble vitamins, and omega-3s which are essential to your health and cannot be produced by your body. It might as well have given skim milk a bad grade! I guess there are just some things you cant program a computer to know.

Good Food Bad Food

The app doesnt live up to its advertising. I find its constant freezing and dropping off line frustrating. It freezes nearly every time I try to search the data base. I also cant find simple foods such as Quaker Old Fashioned Oats. The app doesnt allow you to compare generic foods (like 3 oz of spinach to 3 oz of iceberg lettuce) to determine which is better. Exercise options are equally limited.

It is similar to tap and track. After using t&t for a few months it was easy to use but the one bonus of t&t is the ability to search through recent foods list. I think it should be added to this app. I like the breakdown of carbs, fat, and protien. As a runner I try to eat 50% carb, 25% protein, and 25% fat. This app helps me track the breakdown.

Waste of money

This app shuts-down everytime I try and search by brands or restaurants. Complete waste of money and time!

Great way to stay healthy

The database is great, large and accurate and as far as I could tell, the grade calculations are very precise which really helps me to make a decision on my diet. I think its a great concept, everyone who eat out a lot should get this.

Awesome!

Works very well. Very easy to search for brands food. Ive actually lost weight using this app! Very happy with this app!!!

Fast and easy

I love this app but would really love to see a place to track your weight in addition to your body measurements. Would be perfect if this app was combined with tap and track - calorie limits for the day, etc.

Its okay

I mainly like the ability to track my daily calories but I wish they would have also offered a daily weight tracker. Come on guys, for $3.99, you should have added this small feature.

Really helping me.

I only use the comparison tool, but it has helped immensely.

I like it

It has been nice keeping track of my calories. I have been making better food choices & its nice to see how many calories I burn.

Interesting but needs improvement.

It is very easy to keep track of calories and activities with this app. I like how the day screen has add foods and add activities right on it, and your history is easily accessible. Unfortunately its got some things that need improvement. There isnt a weight tracker which I would like, and finding fresh fruits and vegetables is kind of annoying since they only have brand name stuff. I also dont like the grades they give on some foods. Half An Avocado got a C because its high in fat. Well yes, but they are full of heart healthy fats! If an avocado isnt healthy food then what is? Itd also be nice if they allowed you to make a favorites list for foods you commonly eat. I have tomatoes almost everyday and keep having to search for them then add them.

Great App!!

Love it, use it each day. No problems

Worst App

Constantly crashes, completely useless. Also does not store history. Worst app I have ever downloaded. Awful.

Just what I needed!

Love the functionalities and how it helps me decide what to eat!

Whats on ur plate!

America spend most of there time watching TV or eating & we waste more food than anywhere else in the world. That helps me to discipline myself from wasting food. I love working out which helps me spiritually, mentally and physically.

Great App. Very easy to use.

Pointless unless all u eat is fast food

This app lasted 10 seconds before I deleted it. Whats the point if it only tracks specific items from specific restaurants (none of which I happen to ever visit). No way to manually enter data? This is really a pointless app. Worst purchase I ever made.

Should have been a five...

I would give this a higher rating. Im not sure why gathering exercise info and asking for weight etc and not using the data to take into account...not only the food one consumes but adding into the overall grade the exercise etc. Definitely needs a little more work. Great idea and easy interface. Wish it wasnt 2.99 though. A bit much to pay while its still in the early development. Hope to see some upgrades in the future.

Review

The App. would be more condusive if you didnt have to exit out when entering calories after each entry. Plus, it would be nice to have the meals seperate from one another than having all of the calories grouped together.
