### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2024-06-16*

A) not enough information. I expected to see fructose percentage for various foods. It only gives three evaluations from OK to Avoid

B) missing essential foodstuffs. E.g. under drinks search for Coca Cola, Pepsi cola, or tonic water. Nothing found. 

C) suspect information. White sugar is SAfE TO EAT (as are most sugars) while honey is not. Really?

Total waste of 99p. Don't bother.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback. We’ve reviewed all the items and made a few updates.

### 1/5 — Nicht zu empfehlen

*2022-06-17*

App ist sehr langsam. Es sind nur sehr wenige Artikel enthalten

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für das Feedback. Wir haben alle Punkte überprüft und einige Aktualisierungen vorgenommen.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2019-02-25*

I was hoping for a comprehensive and detailed list.  What we got was a small, limited list.  For example, green peppers are listed in the restricted area with no mention of red, yellow, or orange peppers.   Green peppers should actually be listed in the “try it” area with the other colors being more restricted.  Bummed I spent .99, when many other quick resources are available online.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback. We’ve reviewed all the items and made a few updates.

### 5/5 — Basic but useful

*2017-12-09*

Basic but useful. It’s got what you need. No frills.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. Happy to hear you find the app useful.

### 3/5 — Limited information

*2017-07-19*

Great set up & visual. Very limited list of foods. Better info available for free on internet, just not in this easy format. Would help if had amount of fructose per serving.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback. We've added this information into the app now. Enjoy.

### 1/5 — Web site does not work

*2017-04-08*

I tried to send feedback on the small list of food allowed provided.   However my email was returned.   So this site is not current. Save your money as this site is not current and appears to be abandoned!

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback. We’ve reviewed all the items and made a few updates.

### 2/5 — Limited List of Foods

*2017-02-14*

Useful quick guide when grocery shopping but charging a fee to download the app for such a small list of foods under each category seems silly. For example, vodka is listed with green dot and then "alcohol" is listed with red dot. There should be same level of specificity offered across the board. Wouldn't recommend paying to see these lists. Better off using google.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback. We’ve reviewed all the items and made a few updates.

### 2/5 — Just OK

*2017-01-17*

Ok for quick reference. I noticed there are some foods listed on both the safe to consume and do not consume. Such as pistachio nuts. This is confusing to those of us who are really trying to avoid eating the wrong things.  I did consume pistachios and regretted it.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback. We’ve reviewed all the items and made a few updates.

### 4/5 — Basic list

*2016-05-18*

Pretty basic app and list. I would like opportunity to add or edit items as some foods that are considered "safe" are intolerable for me. App runs and opens well.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback!

### 1/5 — No

*2016-04-10*

I don't think the info is accurate.
