Essentially, the app doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2019-12-30* Horrible app. Does not work and there is no support. It needs to be removed from app list. Giant waste of money. ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2019-12-27* Can’t log anything - faulty App. Waste of money. ### 1/5 — Waste of Money *2019-08-14* It doesn’t work and the “settings” only lets you delete your data. What a waste of time and money! ### 1/5 — Does not work - no contact from Customer Service - AVOID!!! *2019-07-16* Doesn’t work - I’ve contacted the app maker several times asking for assistance and/or a refund and no response. AVOID!!! ### 2/5 — Can’t get it to work *2019-05-31* Don’t know what I’m doing wrong but can’t make any log entries ### 1/5 — Waste of 3.99 I feel like I was fleeced *2018-09-17, version 2.0* This doesn’t separate apples by types, it is worthless and I feel like they stole my 3.99. ### 1/5 — Don't waste your time or money *2016-12-19, version 2.0* Hard to use. Many foods are not listed. Basically useless. ### 1/5 — Not all that great for the price *2016-04-07, version 2.0* The Tracker & Log window does not scroll and therefore mistaken entries below the window cannot be deleted. The app is not all that user friendly. Also, it includes items that have a zero glycemic index (like water) into the daily calculations. The daily tracker chart only displays average glycemic index (GI) which may be misleading. The edit mode only allows you to delete an entry. The custom add mode is virtually useless. The setting only allow you to delete all data, thus highly limiting functionality. This app was not well thought out. Need to go back to the drawing board on this app. Save your money. Wish there was a way to get a refund. ### 1/5 — Don't Purchase *2016-03-07, version 2.0* I bought the Diabetic package deal and it didn't even come with a diabetic app. In addition, the first food (mango) I tried to enter was not in the database. Mango is pretty common ... I would hope. In looking at the list, there clearly aren't that many foods and if this is suppose to make diabetic's lives easier then I don't need 4 separate apps AND need to create my own basic foods in the database! Maybe you need to test for 3 months on a type one diabetic to really understand how challenging this would be. Very disappointed. ### 1/5 — Glycemic index *2014-08-16, version 1.9* Does not give quantity for food nor is comprehensive enough. For instance, I bought unsweetened soy milk which has 7g protein and 3G carbs. It isn't listed. Other soy milk is listed, but has a GCI that is almost in the yellow range. How does this app help me? ### 2/5 — not impressed *2014-05-22* so far not so good.. no categories for the food… not enough instruction ### 2/5 — disappointing *2013-09-01* After working with My Fitness Pal which is easy and user friendly, this is a real disappointment. Have to go through list of food to find one. Search is useless, it brings up a blank screen if something can't be found. I have no intention of imputing every food specific to me. I'm annoyed that I wasted my money on this!! ### 1/5 — Awful app *2013-08-12* Would be hard to track daily intake of foods due to a lack of foods on the database. Not very user friendly ### 1/5 — Fix me *2013-05-21, version 1.6* App worked good until last update. Now it will not save info and charts are not accurate for portion calculations. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not been updated to work with iPhone latest software *2022-04-27* Just spent £3.50 on this app and it doesn’t work with iPhone software because the app hadn’t been updated. ### 1/5 — DONT BUY *2021-09-22* Developer needs to update to work on newest iOS ### 1/5 — Very disappointed *2021-09-08* I can’t get this app to work. I have purchased and unable to log any food. ### 1/5 — Fix it *2021-05-26, version 2.0* Please contact me. I like the principal of this app but IT DOESNT WORK! please fix it or refund my money BLanningv ### 1/5 — Can’t get the app working *2020-11-05, version 2.0* After using the free version then not for a long time overjoyed and it said I had to upgrade so I purchased and can’t seem to get it working I have tried to contact app developer with no response would appreciate some help ### 1/5 — Purchase *2020-11-01, version 2.0* I just purchased this app and it does not work....I can not put my food in! Don’t waste your $3.99 ### 1/5 — Can’t use it. *2020-10-22* Waste of money...I can’t log anything! ### 1/5 — Does not allow to log food *2020-08-31, version 2.0* I’ve tried restarting the program, restarting my phone and updating my phone. The app will allow me to choose a food but not log it. Literally paid $4 for an app that does nothing. Awesome. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2020-05-06, version 2.0* Not intuitive at all. Zero instructions or help. Absolutely a waste of time and money. DO NOT BUY! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2020-03-05* This app didn’t work at all. I could search for foods but when I tried to add to the log it wouldn’t register anything ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Clear and intuitive *2016-04-11* I like the clear layout and ease of use. I can quickly log in what I have eaten or what I would like to eat. Although some items like Sushi are not there, you can easily work out a proxy with similar constituents. ### 5/5 — GI *2012-08-29* Excellent. Love how it reads barcodes. Would be great if could be used when traveling overseas ### 5/5 — Mr *2012-07-24, version 1.1* Excellent way to start seeing what you are eating and how it effects your blood sugar. Thanks for such a wonderful tool. ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2012-07-17* Love it! ### 5/5 — Awesome app! *2012-07-17* I have to watch my glucose levels closely. So far this app is the best I have found:) ### 5/5 — trying to turn the keg into a 2 pack *2012-07-17* very pleased with this app. I have been using this app for a few days. I find it easy to use and I can get the lg information I need quickly. the favorites feature saves me to time. I'm using the app constantly through out the day. I'm feel more energetic and loll forward to next week weigh in. ### 4/5 — Very easy to use but lacks some basic ingredients *2019-03-19* I’m enjoying the ease at which this app works. There are lots of foods and it’s very user friendly. There are two things that I think need addressing. The first is that if I minimize it to look at something else and go back to it, it’s frozen so I have to log out and log in each time. Annoying. The second thing I’ve found that could use tweaking is that some basic ingredients are not always present. I tried looking up Dijon mustard or balsamic vinaigrette and no choices come up among others. I have had to go and look them up online and add them in. Not a big deal, but it would be nice if I didn’t have to especially as I have re-log in each time. Over all good and helpful. ### 4/5 — Finally *2018-04-17, version 2.0* I am more interested in GL than GI and finally a tracker that does that. I would like the favorites to stay in the quantities I enter rather than the default and I would like to be able to edit quantities as I move through the day, rather than add them - but overall a better GI tracker than others I’ve downloaded. ### 3/5 — Decent Day Tracker *2014-09-09, version 2.0* This little app is fine for searching for food although the compendium of food is lacking in many areas. Also, the custom food option doesn't work: you can fill in all the info for your custom food but logging it doesn't affect your day-tracker so it's easier to fudge it with preset foods than add your own. Also, the progress tracker tracks the average glycemic index of the good you logged, not your daily glycemic load which I would prefer. Overall, it's a decent tool for giving you a fair idea of your total glycemic load for a day, but not nearly as precise as I would like. ### 3/5 — Fairly flexible, but with potential *2013-07-03, version 1.7* Just downloaded this app and began entering food favorites for ease of use. I like the tracker feature and the ability to customize portion sizes. The search list is a bit idiosyncratic, for example there is no listing for "pasta"; the items are listed under "macaroni". There are also surprising omissions such as potatoes, raspberries, alternative grains such as quinoa, and Ezekial bread, a staple for people trying to follow a low GI diet. Improvement in the search feature and adding to the database would earn a higher rating from me. One nice feature is the ability to log a "custom" entry, but it not possible to save the entry; that possibility would greatly improve the app. Another annoyance is that it's impossible to scroll all the way through each day's food log; only about the first half of the day's meals can be made visible. I hope the developer will correct these omissions. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
