No scan product option and other things
Does not have the ability to search by brand name to see if it is FODMAP safe.
Cannot search quite a few things and nowhere to be listed such as Bell peppers. I do shop at No Frills and Loblaws but not finding this app very helpful.
Also I am worry about privacy and not selling my email after signing up .
I live in Canada but this app does not help much as mentioned above.
Can’t even sign up for an account

Hi Rachel, thank you for your feedback. If you choose the closest city in your area this will be adequate. Kindest, the FF team
Nicely done.

Thank you for your great review Tomas_401!
Very helpful for this diet but…
I wish the recipe maker also had some common processed ingredients in it, like (insert popular brand) gluten free flour. Which would be commonly used instead of trying to come up with our own version of flour. (Gluten free mainly due to it being low fodmap bc wheat isn’t.)
Thank you :)

Hi khgdrynn, thank you for your feedback and bringing the recipe scroll glitch to our attention. Our app developers are working on resolving this issue and you should expect this to be fixed in the new update. Our Food List does have generic tested ingredients. Generic gluten free flour was under "Flour, GF". This has since been edited to spell out the words "gluten free" to be easier to find when searching for ingredients. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We hope this helps! Kind regards, the FODMAP Friendly team
Requires too much personal info to use
Stop requiring more personal data than people want to give. At minimum, make it optional. Yeah I could just make a location up, but it irked me enough that I’m just saying nope to the app as it stands.
Access problems
Great app!

FODMAP Stacking information-woo hoo!
I’m just starting FODMAP, which is challenging since identifying short-chain carbohydrates is not intuitive. The biggest hurdle for me has been combining foods into a recipe or meal without stacking FODMAP friendly ingredients together inadvertently making a FODMAP unfriendly meal.
The Recipe Maker calculates the FODMAP load of each individual component, eg monosaccharides vs polyols) so you can remove or substitute ingredients or adjust the volume to develop an overall FODMAP friendly (for YOU) recipe or meal. Stacking mystery solved!!! It requires a little patience to input everything for recipes with a variety of ingredients, but SO worth it! The one time charge (which is not a subscription) is a bargain! The free trial lets you play around with a couple of recipes with some limited functionality, which I found helpful to test it out before purchasing it.
Worth downloading
Fraudulent Undisclosed “in-app” purchases
Thank you for this feedback. This has been taken into consideration and the app is now free for all uses :)”

Hi Dave 365, We thank you for taking the time to provide your review. We will take on your feedback about our App Store description and look to update this to be clearer that the Recipe Maker is a paid in-app feature. Regarding the Developer feedback from 1y ago "the app is now free for all users", this was in response to a review from way back in 2017 when users used to have to pay to download our app. We apologise if this was confusing or misleading. Our app is now free to download, and users get access to our hundreds of lab-tested ingredients in the Food List, Certified Products, Dietitian Directory, Recipes, Meal Plans and more at no cost. The only paid feature is the Recipe Maker. For only USD $2.99 for a game-changing tool that exists nowhere else in the market - we feel this is a fairly reasonable price :) We hope you enjoy the app and if you wish to discuss further, please send us an email at app@fodmapfriendly.com. Kindest, The FODMAP Friendly Team
Paid $2.99 to support (not working on iPad mini)
The issue:
1. Using the same password and email, I tried logging in through my iPad mini.
2. It keeps saying verify email when I hit enter.
3. It never sends a verification
4. Why would I have to verify anyways, I already did when I first logged in though my iPhone
Response from developer
Hi Lost in Tactics, Thank you for your feedback and we are sorry to hear you are experiencing difficulties logging in on your iPad. Our app is supported with iPad mini 7th gen and users are able to login to multiple devices using the same login. Our app developers are more than happy to investigate this further for you. If you are please able to email us at app@fodmapfriendly.com so we may continue the investigation for you. Looking forward to hearing from you and getting this fixed for you ASAP! Kind regards, the FODMAP Friendly Team

Hi Notusedever, Thank you for your great feedback! Please share with your friends and family! Kind regards, The FODMAP Friendly team
Recipe Maker is so helpful and affordable
Response from developer
We think it's pretty great too! We want more people following this diet to have confidence in preparing their own foods, so we've kept the price low. Please share with your clients and colleagues, we would be very appreciative! :) Kind regards, the FF team
Love the new features!
Response from developer
Hi there, thank you for your feedback. We are happy to report the Recipe Maker is now functioning correctly. We hope to see you back on the app very soon! The FF team
Best Fodmap App
The foods listed are extensive. I especially value the feature that shows the recommended quantity of the food that you can eat. They show this quantity in both volume and weight.
When you click on a food, the graphics are awesome for the percentages of your daily max in each Fodmap category (sorbitol, mannitol, fructans, GOS, Lactose, Excess fructose.)

Thank you for your wonderful review FridaRos!
Wants too much personal info
I’ll create a new burner email address. FODMAP is a potential issue for me.
Not diagnosed so not willing to get more unsolicited emails
