I find myself forgetting if I entered everything, or sometimes I over enter food groups. Having it broken up into separate would be easier to track. Also, I follow a mostly Paleo diet so the fact that you can’t cut out the Grains section because it’s “essential” is bothersome. Also the Oils category is optional? What about healthy fats, people? Let the user decide which food groups are essential to their own body. Overall I like the simplified the app, I just am not a fan of the format or settings options. ### 3/5 — Need more features *2015-08-09* Really need to be able to add your own categories and reorder them I want bars for sugar, alcohol, candy/junk food. ### 3/5 — Great but... *2015-06-26* Really like but needs a bar for sugars ### 2/5 — Good idea, but should have food input *2015-03-20* I want this app to include a search for food feature like My Fitness Tracker or Loseit so that I don't have to guess about how many servings I am eating. It would make this app 5 stars! If it had that feature I would have no need for any other diet app. ### 3/5 — Ok, but could be improved *2015-01-14* Not a bad app, but certainly needs some fixes, and then perhaps a few feature additions that I think would expand its appeal enormously. (1) You shouldn't have to swipe up when the app starts. The initial screen serves no purpose. (2) Swiping to add serves can be unresponsive and frustrating at times and needs a lot more calibration, perhaps for the different screen sizes (I'm on an iPhone 6 and it's not great). (3) I don't understand how the daily percentage is calculated. Going a serve over in a group can suddenly put you up to 140% ?!? (4) When setting custom serving goals, setting 0 (i.e. my intention is to not eat any of that food group) makes the daily total NAN or INF. A bug there. Why set at goal of zero? Because there's no way to track bad foods, so I use oils and set the goal as none. So... (5) It would GREAT to be able to add your own food groups (good - say nuts and seeds, or bad - say fried foods). The user should be able to interpret the groups as suits them. This would expand the functionality and appeal of the app enormously. (6) Finally, need to be able to reorder the groups. Currently oils comes last in the list, above exercise and water. Oils are a food and logically different from exercise in particular. It should be visually separate, or at least ordered differently. Custom ordering would allow this. ### 3/5 — Needs a few more details to cover all the nutrition options *2014-08-22* Oils should be Fats to cover butters, etc. And definitely needs a Sugar option and probably a junk food option. The goal might be ZERO, but the journaling needs to allow you to include ALL the foods you eat and not just the good ones. ### 2/5 — Great idea, not great execution. *2014-05-15* This is a great example of why I wish it were possible to test apps out before buying them. It claims to be customizable, but there are things you can’t personalize— for example, it’s impossible to turn off any “Essential” food groups (Grains, Vegetables, Fruits, Dairy, and Protein.” You also can’t edit what time of day the app will refresh. And, “checking” items is not as easy or intuitive as it should be— it took me a minute to figure out how to mark a serving, and even now that I know what to do it’s hard to manipulate. ### 2/5 — Good idea, but... *2014-02-05* Need a weight log. When you eat more portions that you planed, you should lose points, not add... For the fruits/veggies, you should be able to eat more without losing points. ### 2/5 — Go back to simplicity of original *2013-12-11* Ok - let's put aside that it crashes a lot. The idea of the app was to be able to SIMPLY track whether you are getting your daily intake of good food. So... what's with swiping up, then swiping over, just to input in grams? What the heck? The graphics are beautiful, but please, PLEASE return to the simplicity of your old app. That's why many people bought it. ### 1/5 — Terrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *2013-12-05* Not worth the money at all, you still have to look up the serving sizes yourself & all this app does is allow you to add up the percentages manually. Please don't waste your money! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Unable to customize *2019-01-24* This app is worth nothing since it’s impossible to customize, total scam! I want to be reimbursed! ### 1/5 — Unable to customize as promised *2018-04-10* I purchased this app based on a description that said you could change your target servings for a customized plan. All you can change is the colour used for the category and the screen image! This cannot be done - I am following a diet much higher in fruits and vegetables than the default and I am unable to change my targets. I also find the entry of items a little cumbersome. ### 1/5 — Horable app *2017-08-16* I don't like this app refund please ### 1/5 — Yuck waste of money *2017-03-28* I wish it would let you customize size of serving:( ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2016-01-28* Not worth the money at all. All you do is log what you eat. Does not give you caloric intake. Lifesum is a THOUSAND times BETTER AND it's free! ### 1/5 — Wish I didn't buy. *2016-01-28* I bought this thinking I could change the number of each food group that to my goal. I was incorrect. This is NOT worth $2 and I wish I had not bought it. ### 1/5 — Won't even start *2014-09-30* When I try to open this app, it immediately crashes. I don't see anything other than a black screen. I can't believe I paid $1.99 for it!! Would give 0 stars if I could. ### 1/5 — Doesnt open at all *2014-09-22* Crashes from the beginning. Waste of money ### 1/5 — Doesn't open *2014-09-21* Looked good but there's a bug or sumthing cos I can't even use the app, it crashes every time I open it! ### 1/5 — Won't Open *2014-09-20, version 1.0.2* Keeps Crashing! Won't even let me open the app at all. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Simple *2022-12-14* This is a great little app-simple and easy to use. It’s great for people who want to track their nutrition intake without calorie or macro counting. ### 5/5 — Works great! *2015-03-27* I needed a simple way to keep track of servings throughout the day, and this app works beautifully for it. Users are able to modify serving settings to reflect what they actually need/want, which is very nice. The app is simple, beautiful, and useful! ### 5/5 — The food app I’ve been waiting for! *2015-01-16* I track my food portions and up to now have been using a spreadsheet. This app makes it SO much easier and fun, plus beautiful. Thanks Steven! ### 5/5 — Simply wonderful *2014-12-24* This app is great as a simple visual for everyday diet! Prior knowledge for diet and nutrition is needed and it is defiantly not a weight loss app. But if what you're looking for is a simple, visual food diary than this app is great!!! ### 4/5 — Simple, easy way to track food not just count calories *2019-01-11* Simple and easy way to track fruits, veggies, protein, grains etc. Great for tracking while doing the CAIRO diet. Need to add an option for custom categories such as alcohol, sweets or junk food. ### 4/5 — This was just what I was looking for *2018-01-02* This simple app is just what I was looking for. Thanks! I custom set my limits based on the Australian dietary guidelines. The only addition I’d hugely appreciate is what in the Australian guidelines are called ‘discretionary’ foods which are foods that aren’t so healthy such as alcohol, lollies etc and which active adults are allowed 0-2.5 serves. I’d love to be able to log these too on this app. I hope this is some helpful feedback ### 4/5 — Helpful, but... *2015-04-12* The app is great for keeping track of my diet without obsessing over calories. But I'd like to have the option to remove food categories; I don't eat dairy and I find I annoying to have it there among the categories I do eat. Otherwise, great app! ### 4/5 — Getting there! *2014-05-30* Love the concept. A few minor bugs, but still useful. ### 4/5 — Good app! *2014-03-04* But there is room for improvement. It would be nice to change the times for (and to name) the reminders. It would also be awesome to add to/change the list of items. Overall, this is great for tracking servings of food groups, which is very helpful on low GI diets and those that concentrate more on servings and meal intervals than calories. ### 3/5 — Need custom food groups *2016-12-30* If I was able to add my own custom food groups like nuts/seeds, legumes, and starchy vegetables, the app would be perfect for me. They wouldn't need to have special icons, just text. A dietitian has put me on a diet to gain weight, and all of those categories are included. I also like the idea of being able to reorder the progress bars. Then I could make it look more like the food plan I've gotten used to. I don't think I'll be able to use this app until that feature is added. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
