    Unable to look at all the new items - asks for payment! Will not use Apple Pay for this!!
  • Great Resource!

    One star reviews are outdated! Definitely worth giving a try. I’m new to low fodmap and trying to learn the basics and this app is super helpful! The recipes section is especially handy.

    I do have some feedback, but neither comment is a dealbreaker.

    The first is just a mild inconvenience really and that’s that I’m US-based and this app does not pick up on my American spelling in the search results. (I.e. “yogurt” initially came up with no results because it’s “yoghurt”. There’s no “whole milk” because it’s called “full cream”.) It would be NICE if it didn’t filter out my US spelling/lingo or if there were a US language setting, but again it’s not a dealbreaker. I can still find what I’m looking for by clicking on the categories and muddling through. The vast majority of foods are exactly the same so it’s not too much of a problem.

    The second is more of an issue that will bug me more as I go along, I’m sure. It would be helpful to have some kind of base ingredients or nutrients or something to compare to on things that are not single ingredients, such as mayo, bread, cookies, etc. How am I supposed to compare what I’m eating to what is listed when there are so many different products/recipes on the market? Especially knowing I’m in the US and the app is likely Australian based where the products aren’t made the same, I feel that adds an extra layer of unreliability when it comes to those foods. Most likely I will not be using those for reference often unless I have no clue where they fall on the fodmap spectrum.

    Even still, it’s a very decent database with a lot of helpful information to springboard from - even on the prepared foods it gives a general “guideline” to kind of point you in the right direction, even if it’s not super reliable - and when you’re starting with whole foods and learning fodmap it’s a really great place to begin.

  • Seems to be broken

    Users, find another fodmap app. Monash is worth the $ but the other free one on IOS is also okay. Typing into the search on this app sometimes automatically gets you no results before you even finish spelling a word. And you have to know EXACTLY how the food is listed for it to even come up in the search. These developers need to try harder.

  • Not User Friendly

    I don’t understand this app. It’s difficult to navigate, most of the time I can’t see arrows at all or often the food item list is just whack to navigate. You have good info just do better with the visual side please.

    Not worth the money- not a very comprehensive list of food!!

  • Not helpful

    The Monash app is much more helpful, and the FODMAP A to Z app is much more helpful for free. This app just gives a pass/fail rating which is especially unhelpful given the nuance of portion size making all the difference in defining what is a high or low FODMAP. I was taken in by the advertising. I should’ve read the ratings and reviews before buying it.
