Useless App - You pay for working for them
Response from developer
We would like to clarify that nobody who buys and uses the app is working for us (which is why the app is not free). Whatever you add to the app is for your benefit only and appears only in your app's database. To maintain your privacy, we have no knowledge of what you are doing with the app or who you are. The database provided with the app contains 325+ common foods curated and developed by us for users to find a close fit.
Not intuitive and lacking in catalog of foods
Response from developer
We have now added in a barcode scanner. In addition, we provide a 325+ database of common unbranded foods and beverages. We also include App Previews on the App Store to provide guidance on how to use the Settings tab to set your preferred units for weights (g or ounces) and for amounts of nutrient (in terms of weight or % daily target) per serving and per weight unit, and how to record your intake by dictation, search and favoriting if you don't use the barcode scanner. This guidance is also provided in the "How to use the app" instructions included with the app.
Question
Response from developer
The app uses USDA FoodData Central (https://fdc.nal.usda.gov/) and the USDA and US HHS Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2020-2025, available at DietaryGuidelines.gov. for food and beverage iron content and recommended daily iron intake. Iron is measured in mg and food weights in g if that is your chosen weight measurement (you can choose g or oz on the screen accessed via the Settings tab).
it works but is missing a lot of food
Response from developer
The app has been redesigned using new Apple technologies and we have now added in a barcode scanner, but the United States and Canada are the only countries requiring manufacturers to provide iron content in the Nutrition label, so the data may not be available elsewhere in the world using the barcode. This is why we also provide a 325+ database of unbranded foods and beverages so that users in countries other than the United States or Canada can find a best fit. The 325+ common (mainly healthy) foods and drinks now include chia seeds, raisins and prunes, and you can add your own branded and other foods and recipes at any time. We constantly improve the app as new technologies evolve and new information becomes available. Once you have bought the app, you get free upgrades, you are not required to register, your data are not collected, additional payments are not required and there is no advertising. We also include App Previews on the App Store to provide guidance on how to use the Settings tab to set your preferred units for weights (g or ounces) and for amounts of nutrient (in terms of weight or % daily target) per serving and per weight unit, and how to record your intake by dictation, search and favoriting. This guidance is also provided in the "How to use the app" instructions included with the app.
Greatest team & apps
