User reviews

Poorly done

First off, it doesn’t have American brands. The beans category hardly has anything, the potatoes don’t specify glycemic load, nor varieties, only glycemic index. I haven’t explored much else, but so far it’s very disappointing

Not worth $1.99!

App does not apply to USA. Contains info on foods not common to USA.

Not all foods available

I would have given a 4 star review, (not all foods show glycemic load), but nearly half the food list is taken up by foreign foods that are not readily available in American markets. The information is given in a good format, but the description of the app, overall, is deceptive.
