Glad you found it useful!

Uniquely Amazing

So many food apps focus on only Macros, this app is so good because it actually tells me how what I’m eating is for my health and how it will affect my goals. Very well built

Response from developer

Glad you liked it!

I’m allergic to SOO many random things, this app made it super easy to flag out the things i need to avoid and filter to things i like and can eat. 10 on 10 for picky eaters like me 🥗 🙂
