User reviews

Great for kids, too!

I showed the app to my kids, and they loved it. When we go grocery shopping, Foodgauge takes me out of the role of telling them what not to eat. I used to have to tell them "no you can't have that because it's unhealthy." Now I just tell them to "Foodgauge it." They type the info right off the label with no problem. When they find that their favorite snacks are a poor choice, they put them back on the shelf. It helps them make informed choices.

Good app

I haven't seen any updates on this one in a long time. Perhaps it doesn't need any.

👍

I love this thing! Some of my friends who aren't working with SWLC use it!! Helps a lot :)

Great app

For starting, sticking to or maintaining a low-carb/fat diet. Use it every time I shop!

Moderate good

It tells you what foods to or not to eat if you really want to lose weight. NOT necessarily if its healthy or not. A banana or potato is good for you but it has a lot of carbs so it might tell u not to eat them as much. It doesnt consider sugars, salt or vitamins, only what will make you fat or not. But too much sugar can make you fat so... I think they should add that to the list.
