Excelente! But theres just one little thing…

Its a really helpful app and I love seeing my scores and getting a rainbow or a star. I just wish that I could use it offline

I love this app

Great app my only issue with it is that when I search for a food and press enter it automatically fills in a food. A food that I didn’t select. Like I type cuc for cucumber and press it enter it gives another food. Please fix this

Update: I would like if I could add fruits and vegetables that aren’t here with the specific color

Love this 🌈

Great app for keeping track of all the plant based foods. I’ve never eaten enough before but now I’m encouraged to eat my rainbow every day. I’ve been choosing to complete my rainbow instead of eating a chocolate bar. Had a massive impact on my diet. I’ve never eaten this way before and I think it will be a lifestyle change for ever. Thank you 🌈

Simple and perfect

A really great little app. Simple to use and does all the things you need it to do: track daily fruit and veg and also track your weekly 30 plants, if that’s your thing. It has little daily rewards and a simple dashboard. Nothing amazing, but it all works. I’ve never had any issues with bugs and I’ve been using it for over a year. Very occasionally I come across something I’d want to add that isn’t on it’s list, but it’s rare.

Can’t add foods not in the database

The UI and how it surfaces insights into what colors you’re eating is good but it’s missing a lot of plants, some obvious and common ones like mushrooms. This wouldn’t be a deal breaker if I could add my own foods to my list but you can’t. There’s also no in-app way to request additions to the database. I also didn’t like that I couldn’t download it and check it out more in depth so I could’ve discovered it lacked those features without paying $5 for an app I won’t use now because it lacks basic flexibility.

Great app

Great little app for recording my foods. Only suggestion would be to delete the food once it has been added so you don’t have to delete each character individually. Thank you

Thank you so much for updating- perfect app!

Stupidest app ever created

This app is useless.

Simple and Effective

This app is easy to use and does a nice job tracking the plant foods you are eating.

Two suggestions for upcoming enhancements would be to:

(1) add functionality that allows you to copy your selections from a specific date and use for to another. Many days I’m eating the same meals and it would save time to be able to copy the previous day rather than having to search and select each item again.

(2) add a ‘delete all’ button to the search bar. Having to hit the backspace button for each character is tedious so it would be great to clear out the search field with one button.

Great simple app

Love this - a nice change from focus on “5 a day”. It’s more interesting to think of how you can check off all the colours. Makes me reach for an apple and not a chocolate bar. And the focus on variety will definitely have health benefits as I don’t eat much blue! Easy to use and even if the exact option is not available in the list there is enough to improvise.

Definitely motivates me to eat more vegetables

I find myself perusing the produce section for items to fill out my rainbow. 🌈 Thanks!

Good but missing something

I do like the app, makes it easier to track how many unique fibers I’ve eaten this week. I just wish I could see a list of the unique things I eat per week, so I don’t need to check day by day to see what I have yet to eat.

Health recovery

Had a stroke just after my 50th birthday. This is what I need to measure and motivate myself to eat the rainbow and get all those amazing phytonutrients. Thank you!

Motivates Me to Eat Healthier

After watching some nutrition videos with scientists, nutritionists and geneticists, I wanted an app to help me note that I had eaten at least 30 plants a week. 🌱🌾This app is exactly what I needed and sooo much MORE!!

The interface is simple and easy to use/read. Color coding the plants makes it easy to see what is missing in my diet and makes me mindful to try to add that color in future meals. It sounds silly but getting a rainbow and star is a little dopamine hit of success for eating well. Lol. The graph/data nerd in me loves seeing the breakdown in categories of types of food and colors. Also appreciate the page for research.

Honestly, this is one of my new favorite and useful apps!! ❤️ Highly recommend it for anyone trying to be conscious of eating a healthier diet. I already see improvements on what I consume. 🍎🍊🍌🍏🫐🍠

Good and useful app. Please let us sort though.

I’ve enjoyed using this app for over a year. The recent upgrades were good. That said, it would be very useful if the foods we’ve eaten would appear in any logical order. Either alphabetically, by colour, or by the order we’ve entered it, by food type or by meal. Or allow us to sort the food ourselves. The way it is now makes it difficult to find and delete mistakes.
Mistakes are made when I enter food for a day sometime in the past under the wrong date. When I realize my mistake and go to correct it, I would expect identical foods that are listed twice in the same day to at least appear together on the list, but they don’t. Having a way to see what foods I’ve already entered on a given day and how many times it’s listed on a given day while I’m entering it would be really useful. Having an undo button would be useful too.

Perfect

I love this app, it does exactly what I want

Fun!

Increasing your fruit and veg intake is one of the best things you can do for your health. I really like this app because it allows me to track my fruit, veggie, and nut consumption to see where I could eat more in a particular color on a given day or over time, and focus on increasing counts of unique foods within the colors.
I *love* that it’s not weight loss/calorie count focused - increased diversity and intake of fruits and veggies is a much better goal, with less risk of a disordered relationship with food.

Love this app!

It has shown me where I have gaps in my diet and now I can focus on adding more orange and purple foods, before using the app I wasn’t even aware I wasn’t eating many of them at all.

Only nutrition app I will ever use

I am so glad they finally updated this app! I love the simplicity. It’s user friendly and motivating. As someone who cares about my health but isn’t trying to count calories, lose weight or follow any specific “diet” it is wonderful to just have a way to motivate myself to add a little more nutrition without feeling like it need to cut out a bunch of other things.

Unique - great visualization tool

I also love how they don’t force you to create an account. You can if you want to. It’s all very chill. Not a lot of text, not needed. The list of foods for each color is a great way of expanding beyond my usual foods, as in “hmm, what foods can I eat to check off the red box?” It’s great. Simple, but with great effect.
