Not worth the 5 seconds it took to download
Great idea for an app, but the content is too abbreviated to be useful. For example, the entry for vitamin b6 lists these sources: meat, fruits and vegetables. We already know that much. That is like saying vitamins and minerals come from food.
How about a list of specific food items, in descending order of the amount of this nutrient contained in a standard unit of measure. For example, you could list mg/ounce: summer squash xx mg, spinach xx mg, bell peppers xx mg, etc.
If you want to provide an informational ap, provide the information the consumer needs. Why would someone want this ap? They want the ap to use as a handy reference to answer questions they have as they move through the day. Alert nutritarians may overhear a conversation about a specific vitamin or mineral. It would be great to have one place to go to quickly and easily get information about why that element is important, how much the average person needs, what are the symptoms of deficiency, toxicity levels and concerns, what specific food sources provide that nutrient and how much does it provide. Of course this all available on the web and in various books, but it takes time to sift through it all.
I like the way your ap is presented with an index on the left side of the screen and one page per entry, but i am deleting it from my ipad because the content is not at all useful.
Add useful information to the pages and I would purchase it. I believe many others would also find this very useful with additional information. Tell me WHY the nutrient is needed, DEFINE daily needs, deficiency and toxicity, and WHERE can I find natural sources of this nutrient.

Faulty
The app keeps freezing and crashing whenever I open it.
Not bad.
Basic information on various vitamins and minerals. In a bit surprised that fluoride is included on the list. It's the toxic leftovers that's used in the aluminium/fertiliser industry. It's not a natural mineral or vitamin.
Really Good app for free. does as expected.
A really good app that does exactly what it says on the tin.
Just what I wanted; benefits of all vitamins and minerals and the foods where they can be found with simple layout.
Maybe could be improved if stated RDAs. (recommended daily allowances)
and amount in each food, per serving say, but for a free app I can't complain.

Fluoride is a vitamin?
A complete joke.
Lame
Vitamins, minerals and supplements were few and far between. There are so many out there that are not addressed, so many new supplements that we'd all like to know about. CoQ 10, just to name one. Also when I downloaded this, the index starts with the letter "c". I downloaded and deleted 3 times. You can keep your app.

Useful
Very good source of information, because doctors don't even know, or don't wanna tell you how to get better. Very useful, thanks!
Woeful
Disappointing App. Very little content. Anyone looking try Vitamin 101 - great deal better app
dece
Needs to be more detailed (i.e. functions). Way too basic. An okay start, I guess
Very basic
Hardly lists any vitamins and gives about a 4th grade description of them. Good for elementary school kids
