Seriously useful app for serious dietary requirements.

Seriously useful app for serious dietary requirements.

Very useful for helping determine what food additives can do, and what is safe to consume, and what to avoid, as per dietary requirements.

A blessing

I seriously missed this app.
I have multiple intolerances to preservatives and glutamates. In my opinion, this was and is the best app.
Note: I can only speak for the paid version and no, I don’t know what it costs now. I just reinstalled my previous purchase.

Delighted that it now works on my iPhone 7 Plus

Thank you!!!! It’s finally been updated. I had to keep my old iPhone 4 handy to look up E numbers as the app is the best I’ve ever seen. Highly recommend it. If you have any interest in E numbers, if you have asthma, or any allergies this can really empower you to take control of your health.
