Great for micronutrients (and more!)
I'm loving this app so far. It tracks way more than just calories, fat, carbs, and protein. Since I don't eat much meat, I need to know how I'm doing getting my folate, zinc, and b12, among others. This shows me where my gaps are and what I can eat to fix it. I can also track my exercise, and it syncs perfectly with Apple Health. To be honest though, I prefer this app.

Great Diet Control
After being just about ready to give up on finding a diet app that would sync with Fitbit and track dietary calcium, not just protein, fat, and carbs, I had the good fortune to trip over this one and am grateful every time I use it.
It has most of the features of LoseIt, but also tracks a wide range of nutrients, and provides more additional services than I can list here
Check it out- you won't regret it!

Nice app with a few problems
I am very great full for this app as it has helped me track my vitamins and other nutrients and balance out my diet. Unlike many other food tracking apps, this one is more geared towards nutrition than weight loss and will show all of the vitamins and minerals rather than only calories, carbs etc. I have had a few glitchy experiences which eventually cleared themselves up. Also, the food database is a little limited and adding your food and supplements is not always accurate (supplements asks for % and this comes out wrong when the app translates the % you input to mc/mcg). It would be better if it allowed for a bit more flexibility in the input format. Unfortunately, this problem also makes me wonder if the DV% are actually correct for the nutrients. Overall if you want to track your nutrients for health, this is the best free app I could find, but it does still have its limitations (and accuracy may be one of them).

Awesome interface
This app is by far the best app I've found for tracking food and fitness. The interface is super easy to navigate, and they use smiley faces to make it easy to check your daily nutrition. So much better than focusing just on calories in and calories out. They also allow you to "create" a food item that isn't in their database. This feature is great for making sure you're keeping track of nutrients even when they don't have something in their database. On a side note, the database is not crowd sourced and isn't shared with other users, which helps maintain the integrity of the information- huge plus!! The staff is also very responsive when you have an issue, and emails you back within 24-48hrs. They send out newsletters to continue to educate users who may be unfamiliar with the importance of good nutrition practices and how imperative it is to be proactive about your health/nutrition status. I highly recommend this app and hope that others are having as positive an experience as I am!

Thank you!
I love this app!! While helping a loved one heal from a malabsorption issue it is wonderful to be able to track so much more than fats and calories. We can take this to the Dr. and go over the totals of the foods and supplements. This is going to aid the recovery!! Thank you! I also love the education. This is the least cumbersome food tracker I've ever used. It includes a wide array of real foods, even wild foods which I really like. Some other apps are very processed-centric. I think this one has those too but I don't feel like I'm wading through them to get to real food. The only negative is the frowny face when some things are higher than standards, such as iron and vitamin D, due to supplementation. But it's easy enough to ignore, I would just like it better if we could customize it for specific health needs. I like getting the smilies!! I'm told they are working on that. Amazing app!! Great job!

Almost Perfect
Absolutely love this app!! Been searching sooo long for something like this! I only wish I could edit my goals for nutrition. I'm pregnant and want to be able to adjust how much folate and protein I need each day. If I could do that, this app would be perfect!! CREATORS: HOOK A GIRL UP! I can't believe I could even type in "Starbucks feta wrap" and it had it! A few of the nutritional facts were a little off but I can live with that!

Overall excellent app
Overall, I love this app. It's well-rounded and fairly simple to use. I am glad they recently updated it to work with the Health app so I can integrate it with other apps...however, I would love for it to read data from Health and not just write data. I have another app I do exercise with and would appreciate not having to double log it. With that update, I would absolutely give 5 stars!

It’s Amazing what this app can do!
This app is easy to use and so informative. It tracks and stores the most in-depth information about your health & well being, makes it fun and interesting to watch & measure your calorie intake, and also measures all of your key nutritional data. This is an app for everyone who has any concerns about their health and wants to be educated on how they can be healthier. A tool that can and will change your life for the better.

Hmm..
Not a huge fan of the GUI of this app, but...
I like that I can manually enter foods & supplements with more info (vitamins/minerals) than what's found on a 'Nutrition Facts' label.
It'd be nice if the brand name would show in the food log/list, as I eat several of the same foods but from different brands & the nutritional info is different for each. Example- if I enter 3 different brands of yogurt, they all show as "yogurt", no brand is shown even though it is/was entered. Hard to tell 1 from the others. It'd also be nice to be able to edit (the nutritional info of) foods that you've entered manually...
Why is it that when I enter a food (liquid) with the serving size weight in mL (volume), it then changes to grams when viewed in the food log/list? (500 mL is not necessarily 500 grams)

A MUST HAVE
I absolutely love this app! A MUST HAVE for busy moms like myself! I am constantly on the go making sure the little ones have everything they need, it's easy to forget about my own health and nutrition! However, this app is so simple, quick and over all amazing; it's greatly improved my personal health and awareness. I recently set up my Fitbit which connects to the app and can track anything... Not only that but the website connects to 23andme. It has helped me understand so much more about my personal health and has inspired me to eat even healthier and work harder for a better me. I keep finding more things to explore! I love that I enter in the foods I've eaten, the activities I've done and it does all the work calculating the calorie intake loss/gain.
Thank you health watch 360! You've made it easier for me to take care of myself and to be a better mommy by creating a simple way to stay on top of my own nutrition, weight loss, and health goals! :)
