I did some test with my pizza recipe. The first gave me a GL of 25 solely because of the refined dough. So I dropped the amount of dough in the recipe, but the GL didn’t change. It gave me the same GL when I entered 54g of dough, when I entered 0.5g of dough, and even when I entered 0g of dough. I also tested it by entering a ridiculously high amount of tomatoes (500g). That also didn’t change the result. Then when I looked at the nutritional info, that just didn’t make sense. My pizza with 54g dough was listed as having 280 calories. The one with 0.5g was listed as 250 calories. I’m pretty sure 54g of refined bread dough has more than 30 calories. There are other glitches too, like when you scan a box of crackers, the app thinks you are going to eat the whole box. And sometimes you get nonsensical results- 20g of tomato basil wheat thins has a higher GL than 30g? I just don’t trust the information I get. Plus it is t super easy to use. You can’t go back and edit any of the recipes or manually entered meals. You have to do an entirely new entry. And you can’t even copy the previous entry. And when you ask the AI something (ex- add a salad to my meal) it will tell you something (ex- yes, that will drop the glycemic load) but it won’t recalculate the meal. Honestly, you can’t get the same info from google **Developer response:** Thanks for the detailed feedback — you've raised valid points. You're right that changing ingredient amounts should update the GL and calorie numbers. Currently the analysis is calculated once and the chat can't recalculate when you modify portions. The packaged food issue (assuming the whole box) and the inability to edit meals are also problems we're aware of. Our next update will fix all of these.

This stupid thing required an extensive set up of a profile that I was not interested in. I never even got to a state where I could search for glycemic information. **Developer response:** The brief onboarding helps calibrate the app to your profile so scan results and GI data are more accurate for you. It takes about 60 seconds, and you can start searching and scanning glycemic values immediately after. ### 1/5 — Glycemic Load? Index? *2024-06-02* Can’t get basic information for common foods. Bad app, will be deleted. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! We've completely rebuilt the app from the ground up — it's essentially a brand new app now. Snap a photo of any meal to instantly see the glycemic index, glycemic load, and predicted blood sugar curve, plus get smart food swaps to reduce spikes. We'd love for you to give it another try! ### 1/5 — The ideas there *2023-07-12* I love the idea of this but the execution is horrible. There are many missing GL number, the pictures are horrible and the meals it gives you would starve even the hardcore calorie counter (not realistic). Disappointed. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! We've completely rebuilt the app from the ground up — it's essentially a brand new app now.

We'd love for you to give it another try! ### 1/5 — No GI scores! *2022-01-07* What’s the point in this app? It’s a low GI recipe app and yet the first four recipes have no GI scores! **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! We've completely rebuilt the app from the ground up — it's essentially a brand new app now. Snap a photo of any meal to instantly see the glycemic index, glycemic load, and predicted blood sugar curve, plus get smart food swaps to reduce spikes. We'd love for you to give it another try! ### 2/5 — Could be (much) better. *2026-07-22* Having run through the initial setup and answering the questions truthfully, I got the opportunity to create an account for future use (this should read as you have no option but to create an account if you wish to continue to use it) Set up the account but every time I try to log in, it just hangs and never moves on. To open the app I have to close it and run it again, where I’m faced with the setup questions once more. Having now gone through the set up 4 times so I can use the scanner (which you can only use a couple of times before the account thing pops up) I found the barcode scanner doesn’t work, but snapping the nutritional information does. This app could have been great, I’d even settle for good, but overall my experience was poor. Will not be paying the £39.99 for something that didn’t seem to actually work. **Developer response:** Hi, thanks for the detailed feedback — you clearly gave the app a fair shot and we're sorry the experience fell short. The sign-in hang you hit was a real bug on our side, and it's fixed in version 5.6.0, which is live now. Updating should get you signed in and past the repeated setup for good. We'd also love to get to the bottom of the barcode scanner issue — if you're open to it, email us at support@glycemicsnap.com with the product you tried to scan and we'll dig in. We'd genuinely appreciate the chance to change your mind about the app. ### 2/5 — Trop simplifié pour le moment *2024-04-10* Manque un index plus simple pour les recettes **Developer response:** Merci pour vos commentaires ! Nous avons entièrement repensé l'application, qui est désormais pratiquement nouvelle. Prenez une photo de n'importe quel repas pour connaître instantanément son indice glycémique, sa charge glycémique et la courbe glycémique prévue, et obtenir des suggestions d'aliments intelligents pour réduire les pics glycémiques. Nous vous invitons à la réessayer ! ### 2/5 — No search function *2023-03-12* The description says ‘1000s’ or recipes but there seems to be no search function or index. There was a filter where you can select meal, eg breakfast lunch dinner and snack, but despite me selecting dinner it was still coming up with all sorts, mostly lunches. With no way to search for things, eg chicken, and no index, the app is useless. I can’t just mindlessly scroll through every single recipe **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! We've completely rebuilt the app from the ground up — it's essentially a brand new app now. Snap a photo of any meal to instantly see the glycemic index, glycemic load, and predicted blood sugar curve, plus get smart food swaps to reduce spikes.

One I had to type in several times before it was correct, and I still can’t correct the second one. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! We're always working to improve the editing experience. Could you let us know which food item you're having trouble correcting? You can reach us at support@glycemicsnap.com we'd like to look into it and get it sorted for you. ### 3/5 — Too new *2026-02-22* To review **Developer response:** Thanks for downloading Glycemic Snap! We'd love for you to give the app a spin — try scanning a meal or snacking on the Smart Swap suggestions — and update your review once you've had a chance to explore.
