### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2019-02-26*

This a is not very good as you have to pay for the groups of food. The rest is free but not to a very highly quality. This app also do a lot of advertising 
Thank for reading my comment hope you don’t instal this app

### 1/5 — Not complete enough

*2018-02-22, version 2.1*

Most of these foods may be ok in Sweden but in Australia leaves a lot to be desired. Just wasted some of my hard earned cash .

### 5/5 — Wonderful !

*2017-04-16*

This is the simplest & easiest to use low-carb app on the planet. It does have some strange foods listed, I presume because it was developed in Sweden, but all the 'real foods' are listed & easily searchable. You can search only among foods that are 5% or less carb, or search all foods. No bells or whistles, just simple, straightforward productivity. Perfect for doing an LCHF program without having to make it your part time job.

### 1/5 — Incorrect Percentages

*2015-11-28*

The percentages listed in the food list are erroneous.  The components that each food is comprised of are carb, fat and protein.  The percentages of each of those components should all add up to a total of 100%.  However, in this app, they do not.  The totals for any given food are all over the place.  For example,  ARTIC CHAR RAW is listed as 0% carb, 8% fat and 20% fat.  That only adds up to 28%!  

If you click through to the item details, it indicates 0g carb, 7.9g fat, 19.9g protein, for total calories of 152.  Rounding up, 8g fat x 9 calories per gram = 72 calories, and 20 grams protein x 4 calories per gram = 80 calories.  72 + 80 = 152 calories total.  So the correct percentages for this item are: 0% carb, 47% fat, 53% protein, which correctly adds up to 100%.

This app is useless unless you want click through to the details for each item and do the math yourself.

### 4/5 — Good

*2015-01-12, version 2.0*

This app is very helpful and will get better if the database is expanded. Missing things like almond milk and chia seeds. Room to grow.

### 5/5 — Huge data base

*2014-03-19, version 1.0*

All the information you could ever want about food just great ! It could be 100 times better if also you can get the uric acid ml% of food.

### 1/5 — Diff to find items

*2013-08-28*

Although everything is alphabetized, u have to scroll thru everything to reach an item...no way to jump from A's to R's without scrolling thru entire alphabet. Deleted it!
