Right now it's just so cumbersome to use a phone app that doesn't have autocorrect; I spend twice as long entering in foods and notes that it makes me not want to use the app. If they'd update this I'd pay for it! ### 2/5 — Too many bugs *2013-06-19, version 1.5* Awkward to see journaled data; has bugs that prevent exporting of entered data, rendering data somewhat useless unfortunately. ### 2/5 — Latest update broken *2012-11-14, version 1.3* Was useful until latest update, now it won't open at all. Please fix! ### 2/5 — Barely worth downloading *2012-09-30, version 1.1.1* This app has a lot of potential, but its just not good enough to use yet. There needs to be a way to add notes to the symptoms and food to specify details for that "instance" of eating. For example, I can add a food item such as a slice of bread. What if I eat two slices? I have to either create a new food item that says 2 slices or bread or enter the slice of bread entry twice. Needs a lot more work before its worth using regularly. ### 2/5 — Sort of works *2012-08-14, version 1.1.1* Not very user friendly and too basic ### 3/5 — Good - could be great with some enhancements. *2012-07-17, version 1.0* Would be nice if food entries were sorted by alpha (easier to find next time). Should also be able to edit past food entries. Would also be nice if date defaulted to the current time (instead of last entry date - as this results in errors if you are making quick entries). For reports, it would be nice to report on foods/symptoms for a range of time (instead of just one time value which may miss something). Long term would be great to categorize food by common allergen types so reporting could filter on that. Good start. Nice and simple and quick! ### 3/5 — Easy and simple but *2012-04-30, version 1.0* Simple app. Straight forward journal entry. But there is no way of getting the journal off the device, say, to provide to the doctor!!! Ability to email journal in tab delimited text file would be a great. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2018-09-26, version 4.1.1* I was excited to find an app that fit my needs, but when trying to use the app I started experiencing frustrating glitches and then found out I couldn’t backup my entries to Dropbox. I contacted customer service, but when I didn’t receive any answers to my questions, I promptly deleted the app. ### 1/5 — Would not open *2016-09-22, version 4.0.4* Also would not open for me. Gotta figure out how to get a refund. ### 1/5 — Don't buy, won't open *2016-09-18, version 4.0.4* Sounded great but downloaded the app and it won't open. ### 1/5 — Clunky and crashes *2016-01-27, version 3.1.1* Wish my wife would have read the reviews before purchasing this app, as it's not very functional. We tried to use it but gave up and resorted to just writing things down in a journal. ### 1/5 — The worst app ever *2015-12-16, version 3.1.1* It always crashes on me and doesn't save the entries. When I edited some entries, it either deleted the other entries or changed the entries I didn't change myself. Yes, please refund. Thank you so much. ### 1/5 — Refund Please *2015-12-03, version 3.1.1* Doesn't save journal entries. Tried contacting through website and no luck. ### 1/5 — Save your dollar! *2014-05-04, version 2.3* Wanting something to track food and reactions, and while the idea behind this app fulfills that need, it is completely lacking in execution. I can enter food, and "symptoms" but I could never see them again together. Really annoying: like a cheap toy that breaks when you walk out the store. Look elsewhere. There are better. ### 1/5 — Foods don't always record *2013-03-01, version 1.5* I downloaded this app, attempted several times to add foods but then I could not find my recorded info. It did not save my information. Also the app is not well organized. Please improve this app and the bugs ### 1/5 — Had potential *2012-11-18, version 1.3* I recorded a day of meals, then it wouldn't open again. So deleted the app and reloaded. All data was lost Recorded a day of meals again, and now it won't open again. I give up on this app. ### 1/5 — Good idea, but useless. *2012-10-17, version 1.2* Too simple. Ambiguous button behavior. Limited entry space (would be nice to include ingredients, or notes). ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Works for me! *2014-06-20, version 2.3* I didn't get it at first, but I can see everything I need in the reports tab of the app. Brings everything together to get a good view. Liking it so far! ### 5/5 — Great app! *2013-09-13, version 2.0* This app helps me track the foods I'm eating while recognizing how those foods affect me health wise. I feel much healthier after downloading this app, thanks Allergy Journal!! ### 5/5 — So useful! *2013-08-29, version 2.0* Allergy Journal helped me so much in figuring out that I was lactose and gluten intolerant! I was able to show the reports to my doctor and they could see what I was eating and what exactly caused my symptoms. I love the new design and it's very user friendly. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2013-08-29, version 2.0* Allergy journal helped me determine that not only was I allergic to oats, but also to pepper. Great app! My doctor was impressed too! I really recommend it. Thanks to whoever made the app! ### 5/5 — Fantastic! *2013-08-28, version 2.0* What an upgrade! This app is so much more user friendly now! The food auto suggest is clutch! ### 5/5 — Great app for tracking food allergies. *2012-02-16, version 1.0* It does what is says and it's simple to use. One improvement I'd love to see is the time stamp automatically update itself to real time for tracking purposes (but also allows you to go back in time). This would be the cherry on top! ### 4/5 — Very Helpful *2014-02-26, version 2.2* This is a good easy to use app for food allergy & sensitivity tracking. It only takes a few mins to input food after each meal. Much better & easier than tracking on paper since my phone is always nearby. I have had only just a few smallish irritations with organization & design. ### 4/5 — Time to update! *2013-08-28, version 2.0* I just got the reminder to update this app. I use it for my kids when we go on vacation and eat at new places. Simple to use, does what it's supposed to, and a good day to day app. ### 4/5 — Update fixed bugs *2013-02-27, version 1.5* This app has allowed me to track my diet and single out problem foods quickly and easily. Would be a five star app if food suggestions were populated as you started typing. ### 4/5 — Good so far *2012-06-01, version 1.0* Finally a simple app to track foods and symptoms. I don't know why they use all gray letters for text, makes it somewhat hard to read. You can email data out of it. They'd probably get a lot more reviews by linking something out of the app. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
