Great for non diabetic health conscious people too!

This GI database is great also for people who have no immediate diabetic health concerns (ie. are not diabetic nor pre-diabetic) and want to keep a healthy food lifestyle.

One thing that can be better is an increase in database size. Quite a bit of foods I’ve tried searching were not in the system.

We appreciate your positive feedback on our app! We are currently working hard on expanding our database, and an update with new entries will be available very soon. Your comments are invaluable to us—thank you for helping us improve! Best regards, Igor.

GI Plus

The App will not allow me access without purchasing the Plus. You want $24+ inside the app and &11+ from within the App Store. Why the difference and why can’t we look around the App without having to make a purchase?

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback! You may not have noticed, but you can close the purchase screen (by clicking the cross in the corner) and use the app for free. If you have any other questions, we are always happy to help. Best regards, Igor.

Disappointing so far

I wish I had read dog lovers question before I purchased…I also am dumbfounded as to why there would be a GI “calculator”, (if you will), & then it require ME to ADD the glycemic index 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

My other question is: what if I’m having a different portion size - I don’t eat everything in 100 gram portions - I haven’t seen yet how to adjust the portion size. It’s possible I’m missing that somewhere.

A barcode scanner in this app would be amazing & solve most of these issues. I’m actually surprised it does not have one considering the price for the “Premium” app. I wish I had known these things before I purchased.

Response from developer

Our product database will be significantly expanded with the next update. However, all basic products are already available in the database. If you couldn’t find a specific product, feel free to email us. We’ll check everything, and if the product is indeed missing from the database, we’ll add it. As for the product scanning feature and portion size selection, we’re also working on that. Best regards, Igor.

Needed help

I have reached out multiple times on the feedback section and I haven’t heard back from anyone. There is a section to add foods, but you are supposed to include the glycemic index for that food. If I knew that information, I wouldn’t need the app 🫤

After writing this review I did hear back from them on this issue and I appreciate the response. I think this app is still adding information which will be helpful to me moving forward.

We greatly value the feedback from our users and strive to respond to their inquiries in a timely manner. It is possible that, due to technical or other reasons, your message did not reach us. Please feel free to resend it. As for the section where you can manually enter the glycemic index of a product, it is often a useful feature if you haven’t found the product in our database but have located its glycemic index from another source and would like to save it.

Limited database

So far nothing I’ve looked up has been listed, and the items are not foods out of the ordinary.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. Our product database is very large and is constantly expanding. If you couldn't find a specific product, especially if it's a basic or common one, we recommend trying the search again and paying closer attention. If you still can't find it, there may be a technical issue, or the product might not actually be in the database. In this case, we suggest reaching out to us via email, and we will definitely look into it! We take user feedback very seriously, as it helps us improve our app. Best regards, Igor

Great app!

I use this great app a lot, it’s so useful as I bake for my diabetic father, I fully recommend it

Response from developer

Thank you for your kind words! We're glad to hear the app has been helpful for you and your father. Your support means a lot ! Best regards, Igor.

Misleading

This app claims GI and GL I won’t use an app that gets a download by misrepresentation, relying on the download to incite a purchase. No GL without paying $20 - so no. My personal policy is not to do business with companies (or developers) that I can’t trust. That’s just me. There’s enough dishonesty and greed already Deleting now.

Update
Response from developers did not address my review except to confirm what I said. It appears to be a response to look like they responded.
