Nothing functions without Premium purchase

The description of the app says that they have made it free to everyone. I could not find the single function on the app that did not require purchasing the app at the premium level. Very misleading.

App is great, but…

The app is great. I like how it breaks down each food group and the food sensitivities with it. But I had purchased the full version, and now I can’t see any of the sub groupings.

Awaiting a refund!

I wanted to try this app and started the free trial, didn’t particularly like it so I cancelled the subscription days before the free trial ended yet I still got charged for it and now they’re saying the purchase is not eligible for a refund. Deleted the app and still waiting for my money back.

I’m obsessed with the App and the Podcasts!

So much information that I have found to be helpful to take my health to another level. I’m so glad I found this. I am on a journey to better health and I am so encouraged to start fasting more and try the supplements. The podcasts are so informative . Love love it . 10 out of 10!

Not Informative

Unfortunately, I found this application useless. I was researching food oxalate levels. Each time I clicked on the food I was referred to a page for subscribing to the premium level. I received no information, just ads for a subscription.

I went to the resources section to check the resources used for oxalates and found that at at least 60% of the links are no longer valid. Or are over 20 years old.

Nice app

In review, it’s a really well formatted app but not what I was lookin for. Does anyone know how to cancel the free seven day trial it doesn’t give uric acid levels and this is what I needed? Any help would be appreciated.

MY FOOD INTOLERANCE BIBLE

This app has been my go to since it was announced as available by Avalon. It is just the best all around reference you will ever need for food intolerance.

Food Sense is an excellent tool

There are so many allergens and it can be very difficult to find accurate information
This app has a long list of food information, though it has some limits in the food list, it is still excellent!

Food Chemicals

This App has to be the best so far for looking up Food Chemicals both Natural and added.
Looking forward to one day being able to scan barcodes packaging one day. Can’t thank you enough

Impossible to Add to List

I’ve tried on my iPhone and iPad and the ‘add to list’ button is out of screen sight. I have a screen shot to show the problem

Pas assez référencée

Je suis gravement réactive aux sulfites, et j’ai fait l’erreur d’acheter cette application. Les indications sont fausses: à éviter , perte d’argent!

Highly Recommended

Living with undiagnosed salicylate sensitivity for years, this app has become a go-to for solid info in this ever growing area of medical study. It was crucial at the beginning of my eventual overcoming the problem, and continues to be invaluable and unrivaled.

Food sensitivity bible!

This app is amazingly easy to use and puts food sensitivity info at your fingertips. A must have for those with allergies or for anyone just curious about food details. Choose a food or sensitivity and find all the pros and cons. I’m ‘nuts’ about it!

Please update with more foods !

Hi there. Very good app but need to update more often with new foods as well.

Great tool to heal leaky gut, lose weight

I learned that much of what I ate contained significant amounts of lectins. No wonder I was gaining weight with “healthy” food. I am grateful to find an app with a quick way to create a new list to help me balance my microbiome, heal the gut and confirm instinctive choices I make in food.
This is one of the easiest apps to put to use immediately. Thanks!

Love this app

This is such an easy to use app if in a grocery store just type in a food item! Only thing that I don’t like is that garbanzo bean or chickpea is not listed 😔

Extremely helpful tool that makes eating less stressful!!

Melanie Avalon has created an app that caters to my exact needs of understanding why certain foods don’t agree with me. Whenever I eat something that causes discomfort/gastrointestinal distress/brain fog/ whatever(!), I log onto this app and am quickly able to figure out what compounds in that food likely are the culprits. It’s helped me narrow down which compounds specifically don’t work for me as I have been able to cross reference reactions from different foods to determine commonalities, and therefore, am able to identify what is problematic for me. I appreciate this app so much and recommend it to anyone who has inexplicable negative symptoms after eating.

Such a great tool!

I use the Foodsense app all the time for my own research and for my nutrition clients. It's very well researched, easy to search and comprehensive. Great job!

Great app

I never thought I need an app like this, but a sudden onset of a food allergy, and intolerances to histamines made me down load this.

It is extremely helpful to be able to know what foods contain histamines as this is all new to me. I don’t know how I’d navigate my current situation without it.

The app is really straight forward and simple to use. Melanie was very responsive when I needed a clarification on a good type, and will also add in a food that the app didn’t contain.
