### 5/5 — Well done and reliable app

*2013-06-19, version 1.1*

This is a great and simple app that does exactly what I need it to do and nothing more. Really awesome. You can track what you eat very easily and correlate what you eat with how you feel before and after the meal. This can really give you insight on how some foods affect your body and moods. Sometimes simple and reliable is best -- and this is one of those. A fave!

### 5/5 — Simple, fun, easy!

*2013-05-15, version 1.1*

Just what I was looking for. All I wanted was something I can use to log all my food and exercise. I don't care for the calorie counting or tracking how many sit-ups I can do. Taking pics of the food I eat daily is so much more easier to keep track without the hassle! THANK YOU!!!

### 5/5 — Best food photo log app!!

*2011-11-01*

Within minutes I am hooked, I always take pics of my food and wanted to start doing this and came across multiple apps.   This is by far the best ad glad it was my first paid one I purchased.   I love that I could add journal entry and exercise cause I always snap pics of me pre and post workout .   Don't even bother with other apps.   This is the best, - kk

### 5/5 — LOVE THIS APP!!!

*2011-08-02, version 1.1*

I've been using this app daily for 6 months now and it has changed my life!!! It has kept me accountable and has been by far the easiest and best food journal I have ever kept!! I know it had been the key tool that has helped me loose 20lbs and still enjoy the things I love in moderation because of seeing what & how much I am eating at each meal. It definitely helps me stay in control of my portions, i love the time stamp so I can eat every 3 hours and it helps me make sure I'm getting plenty of 'color' in my food choices. It has been one of my top favorite and most used app's on my phone. I tell everyone I know and meet about it! ;)

### 5/5 — Love it!!!

*2011-07-27, version 1.1*

Dietsnaps rocks my world!!! I love the ease of the application and the huge impact it has had on my food choices. I love that I can email it to myself one day or a whole month at a time. If I ever forget my phone somewhere I find myself borrowing other people phones to take my food pictures. All thanks to dietsnaps!!!!

### 5/5 — Simple and effective

*2011-06-27, version 1.1*

Love the premise of this app. Very easy and it works!

### 4/5 — Not bad.

### 4/5 — Could be great.

*2010-12-22, version 1.1*

I've been using this for about a week, and find the basic idea to be great. I hope that the next version will fix some irritations, though:

1. Streamline data entry. The app should make an educated guess as to whether the food in front of me is breakfast, lunch or dinner based on the time of the snapshot.. How about a set of options to tell the app what time ranges correspond with one's typical meals? It should prepopulate the 'time' value, as well, since the app is meant to be used right before you eat something. I should only have to manually enter a time if I'm using a photo from the library. (Even then, the photos are time-stamped, right?) 
2. Make the post to Facebook function work. I've tried it a few times with no results.
3. Couldn't the photos be stored as a separate camera roll in the library? That would make them more accessible for other uses.
4. The export format needs much love in order to be useful.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2010-09-02, version 0*

I started a serious weight loss program two months ago. Really did not want to log my intake.   Too much work.  Well dietsnaps makes it easy... Very easy!!!
I have become addicted now to recording  Strongly recommend it.

### 4/5 — Functions as described

*2010-07-16, version 0*

Great application. I would have given 5 stars is there was an option to enter and graph weight.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2014-11-14, version 2.0*

I just downloaded this app but wouldn't know if it's great or not...keeps crashing before I can submit my first entry. After the update for iOS 8 compatibility I'll try again.

### 1/5 — Crashes on IOS 8/iPhone 6 - DONT BUY

*2014-10-29, version 2.0*

Can't post a photo at all. Crashes every single time whether I take it from the app or select from photo library. Waste of money!!

### 2/5 — Saving information

*2017-08-04, version 2.0.2*

Not too thrilled with this app. I wrote an entry (a whole paragraphs worth) and I forgot to press save.if you don't press save, you lose all of your information. Most apps, from my experience, automatically save information without requiring you to press save first. I do not recommend this app unless they fix this problem.

### 2/5 — A lot of potential, but needs work

*2011-01-29, version 1.1*

This app is useful for its stated purpose as long as you're just viewing your food photos on the phone itself.  As soon as you want to export your photos, perhaps to share with a nutritionist, you're pretty much out of luck -- the 'Export via Email' feature results in output that's a jumbled mess, with photos separated from their associated titles, timestamps and notes.  Would it be so hard to export the data in a somewhat coherent and readable format?

It's also a bit of a pain to add entries, since instead of assuming that the current date/time should be used for the entry (and letting the user change it only when needed), the app always forces the user to input the time.

Lastly, a small quibble compared to the glaring problems mentioned above: the app lacks a 'Favorites' feature.  Currently, the user has to re-photograph common food items for every entry.  Common food photos can be selected from the phone's camera roll, but this is a bit of a hassle.

This could easily be a four or five-star app with a few of the changes mentioned above.  'Looking forward to the next update.

### 3/5 — Nice and simple, needs time stamp correcting and ability to save lower resolution

*2015-01-03, version 2.0.1*

Hi

Good little simple app for tracking diet and other notes. Far better than many other more complex ones

Two fixes needed for a while:
Time stamp generally doesn't default to the current time, but rather a recent time in the app - this doesn't make sense and seems to be a bug

Also, the app stores high resolution images. That means that quickly it can start to hog 4-5gb of storage space. It'd be better if either low resolution photos were stored instead, or there was the ability to purge history from a certain point, to free up phone space

Other than those two issues, really recommended

### 3/5 — Pretty cool

*2013-01-25, version 1.1*

The only downside I've found to this app is when you send the email it beaks apart the photos from the category and time. Makes a backup nonexistent.

### 3/5 — Great and easy concept, but crashes and lags

*2010-10-28, version 0*

I like the simplicity of the app, but after 5-days of using it, I find it's starting to (1) lag alot. Maybe cuz it retains so many pictures. (2) I also wish the emailed log has the same format as the app log. The emails logs are separated by text and pictures. App log text and pics are grouped together according to their respective times and meals. I need to manually edit all my email logs so the recipient can follow my journal. Also, (3) I tried to email logs by date range and it crashes every single time. I'm hoping to get these things fixed cuz I really like this app for the ease. I hate the tediousness of logging my meals by nutrition and taking pictures is a great and easy way to give me, and my food journal buddy, a quick summary of what I ate.

### 4/5 — Fit for purpose

*2017-02-16, version 2.0.2*

I don't need to count calories to lose weight, I just need to reduce snacking and so for that purpose a simpler app where I log my eating habits is helping me lose weight just fine.

### 4/5 — Easy track of your diet

*2015-04-07, version 2.0.1*

I like the app. It is simple to use. It makes me easy to write a food diary. However, the app often does not properly function with "Take a photo" option. It gets a bit annoying.. wish this crash was fixed, and the app was operating more stable.

### 4/5 — love it, but hate that the email separates the notes from the pictures

*2011-02-22, version 1.1*

This is a great app and easy to use but I was super disappointed to see that when I email my diary the notes and the pictures are separated.  Also, my pictures weren't even in order.  It makes it very difficult for someone to follow.  Also I've had some issues with the app crashing.

### 5/5 — Great yet simple app

*2025-03-31, version 2.1.1*

I’ve used this for years now.  It's not complicated and keeps me on track.  Whenever I've gained a few pounds, I start with the app again, and I can no longer tell myself that it was just an extra bite here or there because I have  the pictures to prove otherwise.

### 5/5 — Must have

*2017-03-20, version 2.0.2*

Must have app!!!!  Living with severe allergies and food sensitivities this app is a life saver.

### 5/5 — Slimmer by the minute

*2017-02-08, version 2.0.2*

I never have time to write down what I ate when I'm out.  This is a great way to keep true to my plan and my  diet partner.  Thank you for the great idea!  Thanks for updating.

### 5/5 — This App Rocks!!!

*2017-02-06, version 2.0.2*

I love how simple and easy this app is- so easy to make a habit!  Highly recommended!

### 5/5 — Avenal

*2016-06-06, version 2.0.1*

Using since last revision. Does all it promises.
Still use daily.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2015-01-29, version 2.0.1*

I am so tired of trying to remember to write in my journal every day of what I ate. Now I can take a picture and easily keep track. I can also see how much I have eaten. I absolutely "Love" the app.

### 5/5 — Awesome app!!

*2013-12-08, version 2.0*

Dietsnaps is a great tool I use to help me keep track of what I eat and to help me stay ON track! Love it!

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2013-12-08, version 2.0*

Love this app! I wanted a simple tracker. This is perfect. Nothing more, nothing less.

### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2013-12-08, version 2.0*

This app is so great! I've been using the app for months and it's just been amazingly helpful with weight loss and watching what I eat.

### 5/5 — I love dietSNAPS!!!

*2013-12-08, version 2.0*

This app is EXACTLY what I was looking for!  I have been learning to eat healthy off and on for a number of years and this app makes tracking daily food journals a breeze! It makes a HUGE impact on your choices when you take second to "see" what you are about to eat! dietSNAPS helped me lose over 20 lbs!  I would highly recommend it to anyone.  :)
