  • Waste of money

    So far I haven’t found ANYTHING— just had to Google them. I’ve tried several foods, including almonds and pistachios. These are common snacks. Why aren’t they there?????
    Thx for nothing. Return my money if you can. (Probably not, huh?).

    Thank you for your feedback! We are really sorry to hear that you were disappointed with the app. In the latest version we have added more than 400 new foods. Our database contains foods with verified information only. What you find on the internet for the foods you can't find in the app is a big question.
  • Not useful. I would stay away

    I thought this was a great idea to combine with my other apps yet I am incredibly disappointed. The god data base is incredibly limited, it is not intuitive, and it does not seem to interface with other health apps. Why do I need to enter my weight v just getting it from apple health?

    Finally, I feel a bit ripped off. The in app purchase for the + was ) $17 yet I just saw the price at $11?

    Bottom line: great idea but the execution is so bad it is virtually unusable.
  • Wish I had not purchased this

    I am trying to track glucose and the first thing I looked up was an Apple because I was about to eat one. Plain red apple. It was not in the app. Many exotic items were, but no red apple. Green, yes (and apple sauce, etc), but I know green are lower GI than red. Very disappointing. If it fails on such a basic level, not worth what I paid.

    Thank you for your feedback! We are really sorry to hear that you were disappointed with the app. However, please keep in mind that determining the GI of each food involves conducting human trials to measure blood sugar responses after consuming specific amounts of carbohydrates from that food. Therefore, it is understandable that the GI database may not include every single food item. While it is beneficial to consult the database for general guidance on the GI of various foods, it is important to remember that the GI can vary between individuals and may be influenced by factors such as food combinations, cooking methods, and individual metabolism.
  • Doesn’t work

    I couldn’t continue in the app without paying for ”plus features”. I then opted to pay to unlock “Plus Features” and I am stuck in a loop asking me to pay again. Extremely frustrating!
  • Inaccurate

    The foods have major errors in calories fat and carbs so it’s impossible to tell is glycemic index is correct. It tries to force you to pay for upgrade immed which is confusing. Wide list of foods but inaccuracies are inexcusable.

    GopiLyn, We are sorry to hear you had a bad experienced. However, nutrition facts such as calories, fats and carbs come directly from FDA which is the most reliable source. We advise you to double check your sources.
  • Bad app

    Do not waste your money.

    We are sorry that you were not satisfied. Could you provide more details?
  • Not able to use this on more than one device without repurchasing

    I downloaded on IPad and purchased it. Later, when wanting to use it on IPhone I could not open full app unless I purchased it again. Not fair. Most of my use of app would be on my iPhone. I feel robbed.

    Developer Response

    We are sorry that you were not satisfied. However, if you use the same apple id across the devices you don't need to purchase twice! Just restore the purchase on iPad and you will have the full version on both of your devices.
  • Predatory

    As another review mentioned, it is bery easy to accidentally upgrade without meaning to. Don't even download the app and if you're downloading now, delete without opening.

    Developer Response

    We are sorry that you were not satisfied. However, you can use the app for free and there is no need in buying Plus version if you don't need to!
  • Hard to use

    I'll go straight to 2 major items.
    After you upgrade the GL is only within a selected food item.
    These need to be alongside the GI number in the main view. Otherwise too cumbersome to compare.
    Charting GI & GL needs some ease of use re-engineering.
  • Had to pay before finding out it sucked

    This app is missing some very important items considering you have to pay for it and then couldn’t figure that out until after it was paid for it does not hold your filters in the recipe filters and it doesn’t have a low carb filter on the recipes which is important for diabetics.
    I want my money back!
