### 3/5 — Okay

*2025-11-13*

Too easy to record items in error since you can’t move within sections (ie fruits to veggies) without inadvertently scrolling to a new number.

### 5/5 — Servings Tracker, no ads

*2023-06-15*

I really appreciate that this app is an actual tracker for the DASH diet that is recommended by doctors for controlling blood pressure.  No entering every bite of food you eat, no calorie and weight loss focus in your face, no subscriptions, and no ads.  You can customize your tracker for whichever DASH plan you are using.  I hope future updates or improvements to interface will stay true to the original purpose, not adding “features” that make it diet-culture centric.

### 1/5 — Not impressed

*2023-01-19*

Used it two days and was done with it.  Deleted.  Still going strong with the Dash diet, but this app doesn’t allow for using the phases 1 & 2 without giving you the unhappy face.

**Developer response:** Sorry your faces have been unhappy ones. There are a couple of things you can do in the app to help with this. The ratings can be harsh because they drop you a peg for each food group where your food intake is outside the range. You can go to the Preferences screen and choose an alternate method that uses the average servings over all food groups, which generally provides a more-favorable rating.

You may also be using the wrong tracking guide for the number of calories in your diet. You can tap the Change button at the top of the data entry screen to change your tracking guide. The app provides 4 guides that I found in the Dash Diet literature. You can also set up a fully customized tracking guide by going to the Preferences -> Tracking Guides screen and either modifying an existing guide or setting up a new guide, and then selecting that guide with the Change button as above.

And if you don't want to see smiley ratings at all, you can change them on the Preferences screen. You can change them to any character or emoji you want. You can make them all the same character, which will tell you that you've recorded meals for a particular day but won't give you a clue about your rating for the day.

I hope you'll try some of these suggestions and give the app another try.

### 4/5 — Very easy to use

*2022-10-19*

This is a very helpful app. I like that it is very simple to use. I was looking for something simple like a paper tracker like I created many years ago. This app lets you know food groups you should be eating, and recommended servings, and you simply mark off as you go. This helps with food selection throughout the day. I have greatly improved my intake of healthier foods. I didn’t know about Phase I versus Phase II of the diet (that’s where the fruit and sweet tracker is). Maybe consider adding ability to track water intake as well. This was EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Thanks!!!

*2022-09-19*

Thank you for making this app available.  I wanted a simple way to move from paper to digital to keep track of daily servings from the DASH plan.  This works well. I did appreciate your explanations to other users on how to customize, which I was able to do.  In a future upgrade, if it’s possible to have the “weekly” categories track across the week, that would be great.  Thanks again for a nice ad-free app at a great value.

**Developer response:** The weekly categories are not tracked based on calendar weeks. I felt that using calendar weeks might skew the tracking. For example, a brunch or big meal on a Sunday might make things look bad until you get closer to the end of the week. So the app is currently tracking weekly categories across rolling weeks ending on the date being entered, which I thought might provide a fairer picture. Feel free to send me an email if you'd like to discuss this or offer a different approach.

### 2/5 — Fruit

*2022-08-21*

Just downloaded the app, why is it missing the fruit section?

**Developer response:** The default tracking guides and food groups are based on sample tracking guides that I found in various publications. But you can add your own tracking guides and food groups, or change the existing ones. I think the app provides some guidance as you get into this process, but here’s how I think it should work:

1. Tap the Preferences button in the upper left corner of the screen (the gear)
2. Tap Tracking Guides
3. Tap the guide to which you want to add “Fruits”
4. Tap a food group that has similar “portion ranges” to what you want to have in “Fruits”
5. Change the name to “Fruits” and then make any other changes you need to configure “Fruits” the way you want it
6. Tap Save. It should ask you whether you want to change the name of your existing food group or create a new one. You want to create a new one.

You should see both your original food group and “Fruits” in your list and be able to track your fruits going forward.

### 3/5 — Doesn’t work with dark mode

*2022-06-14*

Please fix to work with dark mode. Would also pay more to be able to export- please consider an addition for that. Other than that, great app! Thank you

### 1/5 — I cannot figure out how to add foods

*2021-10-24*

I see in the photos description that you can add your foods but I sure can’t figure out how that’s possible. All I’m able to access is number of servings of the different food groups, and the calendar. That’s it. Very disappointing and completely unusable for my purposes.

**Developer response:** I'm sorry you are having trouble with the app. Adding food groups isn't as intuitive as I'd like it to be because of the amount of information that might be needed. Go to Preferences and edit your Tracking Guide, and then edit a Food Group that's similar to what you want. Make any changes that are needed, and then touch Save. At that point, you will be asked whether to save over the existing Food Group or add a new one.

I hope this helps. And if it helps enough to get you to change your rating, I'd appreciate it.

### 5/5 — Great food tracker

*2021-10-16*

This is exactly what I was looking for to track my food on the Dash Diet.  It has the ability to track foods for Phase 1 and Phase 2, as well as your weight.  It would be perfect if it also allowed you to track water intake, blood pressure and waist circumference.  I like how you can customize the # of servings you can have.  The emojis are great feedback too.

**Developer response:** I'm glad you're enjoying the app. The app doesn't track blood pressure and waist measurement, but you should be able to add a Food Group for water and then track your water intake as you would any other food group.

Adding food groups isn't as intuitive as I'd like it to be because of the amount of information that might be needed. Go to Preferences and edit your Tracking Guide, and then edit a Food Group that's similar to what you want. Make any changes that are needed, and then touch Save. At that point, you will be asked whether to save over the existing Food Group or add a new one.

I hope this helps.

### 5/5 — Finally found a tracking system that works!

*2021-07-31*

I’ve been searching for a long time on an app that would allow me to track my food per the DASH Diet.  There are surprisingly no apps that do this easily or at all. Thank you for creating this and allowing the customization for the serving portions and allowing of adding other food groups. Well worth the $.99 I paid.  THANK YOU!!
