I’ll pass

This app is not what I thought it would be. You can’t do anything on it without paying and all you get are pop ups to buy plus. No thanks.

For now it looks good but pricing is not transparent

Installed, like it so far. I paid PLUS while installing without even knowing it. But now I cannot find any information what I paid actually. Is it life long license, or monthly, or yearly payment...? How can I know that?

Poor and very limited databse

I thought I was downloading the free version due to a very misleading load screen (see other reviews). I discovered I’d been charged for Plus too late to get a refund. I tried the app, but found I needed to enter too many details for too many foods to make it useful. You need to enter nearly everything that is more than simple, single foodstuffs. And for compound substances with many ingredients, like bread, it varies by brand and variety. You have to enter a custom recipe: You have to build your own database of foods!

No free option

Predatory screen refuses to allow you to use the free version, so in effect, it really is bait and switch. You’re not allowed to access a free version. Garbage advertisement. Reporting it to the BBB.

Limited use if you’re not from the US.

I’m from the UK. Most of the staples are there, but very little else. For example, the nearest I can get to a chocolate digestive biscuit is logging it as a graham cracker with 10g chocolate. I’ve no idea if that’s a realistic substitute but I suppose it’s better than nothing. It would also be useful to be able to store information on meals and recipes that you use regularly instead of having to input them every time especially if there are lots of ingredients.

Expensive

Not knowing how effective this app would be I think it is upfront expensive. It is hard to ascertain the value without a few days experimentation with the features of the app.

Disappointed

Not super helpful. foods hard to find index very small and vague.

Ameliorations

Le moteur de recherche mériterait une mise à jour jour. Par ex si je tape petits pois, il me propose petits pois surgelés puis pois mange-tout, aubergines au petits pois puis pois cuit, blanchis... mais de quel pois sagit il ? Une image de l'aliment sur sa fiche aiderai aussi.
Enfin je ne trouve pas ou changer l'objectif de charge glycemique

Search Function

The recipe section is great except for the lack of a search function. I don’t have the time to scroll looking for a dish containing pumpkin, I.E. Pumpkin Soup.

Does not customize well

I’ve struggled to make entries. It’s not very intuitive. The search database seems fairly limited. I keep coming up with foods that aren’t in it and having to choose a close approximation.

Tried Promo

Ended up with a $59.00 charge.

What’s the point?

This app mostly contains GI and Gl values from the charts that are all over the internet.

It asks you to provide the GL/ GI data for anything not In its very limited database. I have no way of knowing what those are

Great

This a great way to learn the GI and the GL of foods. It helps me maintain my weight.

Wasted Money

App is limited to very basic entries. Most foods you will have to manually enter all macros and hope it is relatively close to a correct outcome. In my honest opinion do not waste your money on this app.

Hard to use

I am having trouble using it. I would like to add recipes but it doesn’t save them.

Disappointed

It doesn’t have the name brands I have searched. ie- Pure Protein Chewy Chocolate Chip.
What it listed for nutritional information was completely wrong. I tried to send feedback but it wouldn’t go through. Try again! Still didn’t work.
I see no place to contact directly!
I would like my money back !

Application

L’utilisation n’est pas claire d’utilisation

Dr. Farid Balaa

The website has food list GI information, have not been able to find it in the purchased version. All my cooking is Mediterranean, would try a few suggestions, most recipes do not match taste. Are way off base with my food palette. Need the lists of foods as displayed on website https://glycemic-index.net. Farid Balaa Ph.D / Food Scientist.
