Fodmate User Reviews

Top reviews

Inconsistent with other information

Has inconsistent ratings compared with other guides e.g. capsicum and tomato.
This coupled with the AI images makes it seem untrustworthy

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. Fodmate’s food ratings are carefully researched, and the ratings shown for tomatoes and capsicums are consistent with other popular FODMAP guides. The food images are intended as visual aids only and do not influence food ratings. Thanks for taking the time to leave a review.

Food intolerances

Very helpful and easy to see and edit.

Great

Very easy to use, doesn’t contain every food available to my area of the world but has the basics which is great!

Life Saving

My outdated tech

I am still a m/soft grad. I like the search and tag i need voice for super tech.

Love it

Love it a lot

AI generated images

The use of AI generated images (of food/drink items that I’m sure have many stock images available to use) completely turned me off this app. It makes me wonder what else the developers have used AI for with the creation of this app, like their information?

There’s also no distinction in what specific category an item is high/low in, ie. lactose. So not very useful if you want to know specific triggers.

2 stars though because it does have the potential to be a good app. I like how easy it is to filter for different types of items (fruit, dairy, etc) and also for high/low.

Game changer!

Fabulous! Through my own research I stumbled upon “lowFODMAP foods turning into highFODMAP foods ” after ingestion—-I had never heard this before! I’ve been diagnosed with 3 IBDs, already follow a lowFODMAP diet and I am happy my research lead me to this App. It is a practical way to help me plan food shopping, meal planning, cooking. Fantastic app!

Very useful app!

Very useful! Would appreciate more input , thanks

The best things are the simplest

A very useful app, so easy to search for specific items or by food group or colour category of fodmap 🙏💖

Fruit

Cactus not included in your FODMAP

So helpful for newbies to FODMAP

I’m really pleased the list of foods is so comprehensive and detailed. Been really helpful so far.

Good as far as it goes

List of foods is not comprehensive. Portion sizes such as "normal serving size" are vague. A "packet" size could be different for different foods, or different brands. If the app includes your food the color pictures are a quick way to find them. But categories of food types were sometimes confusing.

Excellent

Have found this an excellent app and use it every day. It is so easy to use and full of such useful information

Highly recommended

Good and not stuffed with adverts

Helpful information, easy to use, not unnecessarily complex, genuine tool to manage diet without blatant exploitation by adverts or price (as many apps in the category seem to be).

AI generated, not comprehensive

The images are all AI generated and this has less variety of entries than some other apps.
