### 3/5 — Fun but sloppy

*2025-11-10*

The interface of the app makes it easy to use but within the app there are many inconsistencies.  For example under “nuts” accepted compatibility is “dairy” but under “dairy” “nuts” become incompatible.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. I will work on fixing the issue you've found.

### 1/5 — Никакой разницы между платным и бесплатным приложением

*2024-10-27*

Идея офигенная но. Нет просто самых обычных продуктов даже. Например, грибов и тд. Не понятно почему платное приложение вообще существует отдельно от бесплатного, но по факту является той же самой версией

**Developer response:** Спасибо за критику! В версии 1.5 добавлена новая функция и в дальнейшем будет развиваться именно эта версия приложения. Ранее было заявлено отличие - Без рекламы). 
По поводу продуктов - добавлено все, что есть в Источнике - книге Г.Шелтона.

### 1/5 — Ошибки совместимости..

*2021-05-28*

Вообщем не качайте. Фрукты со сладостями, сахаром и кондитерскими изделиями - это жесть. Привет диабет и несварение....
Программа не полностью на русском языке и сделана не на совесть...

### 1/5 — За что деньги???

*2021-04-06*

Для начала скачал бесплатное приложение продукты не все, скачал платное и там тебе продукты))) в чем разница этих приложений??? За что деньги???
