The options of food items in this app are very very limited. There is no search option. I wouldn’t recommend it. ### 1/5 — looks good from the outside *2016-03-31* the info is good but no interaction. No way to search anything you might be eating like bread... just falls short of a good app. it need a way to personalize this and add my data. ### 1/5 — Agree with Gfried *2015-11-30* This app is awful. The main way to lower calories is to restrict fat intake, specifically saturated fat and trans fat which is not even included. I'll be trying to get my money back on this complete waste of space. ### 1/5 — Limited reference *2013-10-01* Don't waste your money. Read the package labels. It is strictly a limited reference. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2012-08-31* Very disappointing app. Good idea but very less data. It's a shame asking money for so less information. Should be a free app. ### 1/5 — User *2012-08-26* Information is very limited not worth the money. ### 2/5 — Static information only *2014-11-01* These days, a $2 app should be way more than a simple list of statistics. It should allow you to calculate values for a given meal, track intake over a day etc... If I need to know how much cholesterol is in a chicken thigh, that's what the Internet us for! ### 2/5 — Good idea but Not really helpful *2012-12-20* Thought it would be similar to calorie king but not. Not worth $1.99. Let me give you an example of lack of info. I will look up salmon and it says that it contains 85mg of cholesterol. Well, what does that mean? Is this LDL levels or HDL levels, or is this a combined #. Who knows. I had to look up salmon on the web and found out that it is loaded with LDL (good cholesterol). Anyway, my point is lack of info, not only on a particular product but missing a bunch of other stuff. Where's NY strip steak? Hope this helps. It is a good idea but not developed we'll enough. I hope updates come with improvement. ### 2/5 — Not worth it! *2012-11-15* This app does not have information on a large variety of foods. Does not list any of the food I usually eat. ### 2/5 — Cholesterol food reference *2012-04-08* Disappointed the categories have limited food options. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Useful app *2014-01-02* Helps me keep track of high cholesterol foods. ### 5/5 — Nice reference app *2013-11-14* Really easy to use and contains the kind of information I'm looking for. It's hard to manage high cholesterol,but this app is really handy when I go out to eat or shop. ### 5/5 — Nice one *2013-11-01* Good source of information. Would be awesome to have a search function! ### 5/5 — This rocks!!! Loving it! *2013-10-31* I've been using this app every time I go out to eat. So simple to use. Looking to get healthy, and this app is helping. Love it! Simply amazing! ### 5/5 — Good info and great layout *2013-10-22* App contains a good amount of information on more common foods. The layout is also really easy to use which make it nice. ### 5/5 — Many good ideas!! *2012-12-20* Good for fat man, many good ideas!! ### 5/5 — Great app! *2012-03-02* Finding out how much cholesterol is in my food has never been easier. Layout is beautiful! ### 5/5 — Easy to use! *2012-03-02* I downloaded this for my parents and they love it! It is so easy and intuitive. ### 4/5 — Useless App! *2019-02-26* This app is a joke. It contains very little information and is far inferior to the many free apps on this subject. ### 3/5 — Good at best *2012-11-08* It's a good and easy to understand app, though I have to agree with the negative reviews, there is not nearly enough information on this to charge for. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
