### 4/5 — Have potential

*2026-07-13*

Good price for one time purchase of $5 but keeps crashing whenever I press anything to update my food log on IPhone 13, probably due to out of memory. Need better optimization

### 5/5 — Private and works great!

*2026-07-31*

Every self tracking app that uses your data for profiling is dystopian to me. Local VLMs have made a lot of progress and are right in the uncanny valley, but are still ethical from what I can tell. Especially this <2 GB model, trained for food tracking, is perfect for on device use. 

Looking at an onion, it takes 1 minute to guess macro values and uses ~1gb of memory, which every iPhone should be able to handle. 

The design is great! Some minor features don’t display correctly; the chat window doesn’t open and I would love a feature to add ingredient tables from a photo for the „manual“ entry option, but overall in Version 1.0 this app is basically feature complete.
