### 5/5 — Völlig ausreichend

*2026-06-09*

Ich kann mich den guten Bewertungen nur anschließen. Der Preis für die Vollversion (nur einmal zu zahlen) ist wirklich fair, anstatt wie bei anderen Apps beinahe 50 € pro Jahr. Die App ist außerordentlich hilfreich für mich, sowohl beim Einkaufen als auch beim Kochen. Ich kann sie guten Gewissens empfehlen.

### 5/5 — Life saver

*2026-05-11, version 6.9*

Several several years ago, I began to suffer from stuffy nose and headaches as a result of foods that I was eating and wine and beer. I had no idea what was causing this and no doctors could explain it to me. Slowly during a four or five year period, I was able to find a few mentions on the Internet relating to histamine intolerance. Then I found this app!  It was a life changer for me. I was able to avoid pretty much all foods that caused the symptoms. I never would have suspected some of them as a problem, like something as common as pepper!!  But I also kept searching for information regarding causation. One say I asked Google whether NSAIDs and decongestants harm gut bacteria. The answer was YES!!! I immediately stopped taking them and slowly my histamine intolerance went away. Today I don’t have any of the histamine intolerance symptoms. This app made my histamine intolerance manageable while I found  the cause of my problems and cured my gut!

### 4/5 — Promised so much

*2026-05-06, version 6.9*

I love the data in this app but I can’t use it practically e.g. recipes cannot be accessed from the diary and none of the recipes or diary entries show cumulative totals for things i.e. histamine and oxalate which means u can’t adjust your meals to compensate when getting close to limits.

### 5/5 — Très chouette et utile application

*2026-04-12*

Application très utile et plutôt bien pensée ! J’ai pris la version payante car elle m’est vraiment utile mais même en mode gratuit elle a déjà son utilité. Merci au développeur de ne pas proposer d’abonnement mais à la place un achat unique dans l’app, ça fait plaisir et cela me semble plus sain que les abonnements.

### 5/5 — Invaluable for self hacking

*2026-03-29, version 6.9*

I’ve had this app for MANY years, and it is so helpful when I get weird symptoms or reactions and try to suss out the reasons. I’ve had many ‘ahah!’ Lightbulb moments due to this app. I have histamine issues and this app was my #1 tool in memorizing what was ok and what wasn’t. I’m very grateful because cutting certain foods has changed my life. Now I’m wrestling with new GI issues and this app has a starting role again as I do elimination diets. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

### 5/5 — ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

*2026-03-20, version 6.9*

Review in English and German.

English:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I’ve been using the app for about 5 years, and it has made a huge difference in managing my IBS and food intolerances. It’s easy to use, helps me quickly check what I can eat, and has saved me from many uncomfortable situations. The customer support is also excellent, very helpful and responsive. Highly recommend!

Deutsch:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Ich nutze die App seit etwa 5 Jahren und sie hat mir sehr geholfen, mein Reizdarmsyndrom (IBS) und meine Unverträglichkeiten zu managen. Die App ist einfach zu bedienen, zeigt schnell, was ich essen kann, und hat mir viele unangenehme Situationen erspart. Der Kundenservice ist ebenfalls hervorragend, sehr hilfsbereit und schnell. Sehr empfehlenswert!

### 1/5 — Use to be great

*2026-02-14, version 6.9*

Not sure what happened to the app. It use to work great but now every single food shows zero histamine which isn’t accurate.

### 5/5 — Incredibly Accurate and Thorough and thus Extremely Useful

*2026-01-05, version 6.8*

Anyone with food sensitivities of any sort will find this app very useful. I can’t say more about how much I personally depend on this app for my daily wellbeing. Thank you to the developers. They’ve done a great service for those who need this information for living safely daily.

### 5/5 — Very useful

*2025-12-30, version 6.8*

I love this app already and will continue with the pro version. I am amazed as this app does exactly what I need in order to deal with Histamine and gluten intolerances. This app is simple and comprehensive, I recommend!

### 5/5 — Thank you!!!

*2025-11-07, version 6.8*

Absolutely great resource that’s been assisting me daily. When at home, choosing recipes and at the shop when trying to workout if to buy a product or not. I cannot recommend enough!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
