## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Lame app. Back to the drawing board.

*2010-08-26*

Uh... A banana and Combination Fried Rice both get the same rating? LEAST FAVORABLE. Really. If you wanna lost weight, exercise.

### 3/5 — Moderate good

*2011-01-17*

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.

### 3/5 — Up in the air

*2009-08-30*

I'm up in the air about this app. While the concept seems sound, judging nutritional value of food based on a few key components and meshing that into a 1-5 value, the end results can leave you scratching you head. For instance my OJ rates a 1 (eat with caution, and limit) of course my OJ is also infused of omega-3 fatty acids, so yes it is "fatty" its also "good" fats, and this program can't account for something like that. If you have common sense on what you should and shouldn't eat then pass on this app, if you have a vague understanding of the nutritional profile box then maybe you might find this app useful.

### 5/5 — Great for kids, too!

*2015-05-17*

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.

### 5/5 — Good app

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

### 5/5 — 👍

### 5/5 — Great app

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

### 5/5 — I love this app! :-)

This is great because in stores, you can check what is good and what is bad to buy! It is very simple to use and understand.
