### 4/5 — Good

*2024-04-16, version 2.7*

It would be great if could record quarter portions as well, because sometimes I am eating lots of quarters of different things, rather than half/full portions.

### 5/5 — Helpful :)

*2023-08-31, version 2.6.2*

This app has been helpful for me so far, I paid the 99p for the full food list which definitely makes the app more functional. The only thing change I’d like to see is a minor tweak of the colours on the weekly stats chart. If you eat all five in a day, the chart shows a green bar, but anything less than five has a red bar. It might seem less harsh if there was some middle ground of maybe a red bar for 1, orange for 2, yellow for 3, lime green for 4, and a bold green for 5, just to visualise that getting 4 of your 5 a day for example isn’t a failure, it’s still better than nothing and almost there :)

### 5/5 — Useful

*2023-01-29, version 2.5.1*

This is a really useful app to see if I'm getting my 5 a day each day. It's definitely a good idea to buy the food options upgrade too, now I can keep track of what fruits and vegetables I'm eating and how many of each one make up a portion.

### 5/5 — Good, but could use some extras.

*2022-09-08, version 2.5.1*

Good, simple little app. My only suggestion would be to add some extras like a nutritional calculator to it so you could perhaps keep an eye on whether you’re getting enough fibre, etc.

### 5/5 — It’s Great

*2021-03-11, version 2.3*

This is really a nice and simple app that helps you reach your daily goal to eat enough fruit to be more healthy. The app designed so carefully according to NHS recommendations. Thank you so much for this great app. Don’t judge the app if the look is simple. It really helps you to improve your health.

### 2/5 — Could be promising

*2020-10-27, version 2.3*

The app without the food list seems a bit pointless. But nothing to say how much this is going to cost.

### 5/5 — Simple, easy to use

*2020-08-16, version 2.3*

A nice, uncomplicated app that lets you track how much fruit and veg you eat. I'm surprised the NHS doesn't have something like this tbh.

### 1/5 — Stephanie

*2020-03-10, version 2.3*

I can not navigate this app at all. I think I bought the food list twice. Nothing is showing but the 5 big groups.

### 3/5 — Almost right

*2020-01-14, version 2.3*

I was looking for a simple app to log my fruits and vegetables to make sure I’m getting my daily portions in at a glance without having to measure and count calories etc. This is almost right. I don’t like being limited to one portion of beans a day. Also, how the heck is a portion of sliced carrots or beans figured out to be 3 heaping tbs? A little more flexibility would be good. Will try this out for a few days and see how it goes.

### 2/5 — Confusing

*2020-01-12, version 2.3*

I don’t understand the app... I paid for the extra food list and that tells you how many of each food type makes 1 portion- great. 
But then the record section where you record how much you’ve had only allows you to select high level category fruit, veg etc and a weight of 80g... what does 80g represent?! Really confusing!
Shouldn’t the record section allow you to pick the exact food and quantity then tell you how many portions it is?
