### 1/5 — Needs more diversity

*2021-07-24, version 3.1.11*

Doesn’t contain some basic foods.  Good listing needs to be updated.

### 1/5 — Bad app

*2013-11-30, version 2.0.5*

Can't get anywhere, frozen on first screen it opens on... Do not bother with this one at all

### 5/5 — Nice Log

*2013-10-09*

With 7,000 foods to load, slow the first.  If you only eat certain foods, take time and create your own food list.  Synchronization with Google Docs works well.  

Read help FAQ for application to understand how this log works.  Code to link appears in subject line of email, you send your self.  This gives help to allow one to take control of insulin management.  Also plan meals in advance input from food list.  Take time and take control.

Used since June, 2013 on meal by meal basis - Wonderful!

### 4/5 — Don't work.

*2013-08-05*

This app will not open for me.

### 3/5 — Goede app, suggestie

*2013-02-21, version 2.0.0*

Een goede en uitgebreide app, met veel gegevens. Eindelijk een app in het Nederlands. Maar als suggestie: het zou interessant zijn  als je gegevens uit het logboek zou kunnen e-mailen naar bvb. een arts.

### 1/5 — Deleted 20 mins after downloading.

*2013-02-07*

Dreadful. Didn't have any of the food items I had eaten in the last 24 hours. The search tool only takes you to the right letter section, not further on (so, for example, looking for sweet potato all it would do was take me to the section for 's', I then had to scroll down for ages to get to 'sw' etc). Also, if you're in the UK it's no good as all branded items seem to be US branded. 

All in all a complete waste of time. Deleted almost as soon as I had downloaded it. What a shame.

### 5/5 — Super app

*2012-09-05, version 1.0*

Heel uitgebreid en gratis. Geen reclame ! En je moet niet het hele voedingswarenboekje uit je hoofd te leren!
