Feels like an ad

I’m very disappointed in this app. The food search (which seems to be its primary use) feels poorly designed and like an ad for companies that have paid to be included. Half of the things I pull up are specific brand names, all of which are green (so ok to eat). For example, I searched rice cereal: Rice Krispies are green, but the generic puffed rice cereal is yellow (and yes, I understand they might use different sweeteners, but it still feels like an ad when the name brand is promoted like that). Additionally, specific home delivery meal kits keep showing up when I just search for a vegetable, cluttering everything up and making it hard to use. The serving size of items is also misleading. A fruit might be marked as green but when you look at the serving sizes, it will say 2.1 oz is green but 2.3 oz is yellow and 3 oz is red, and maybe the people who made this app have never eaten fruit before, but there is very little difference in a 2.1 oz serving of fruit and a 3 oz serving of fruit.

Response from developer

Hi there, we really appreciate your feedback on our app. The Monash University Low FODMAP Certification Program (which includes the branded products in the app) was developed from consumer demand to help make easy low FODMAP choices. Certified foods are listed to easily identify foods that we have tested/assessed. It is really useful for us to hear about your experience with these in the Food Guide, and we will be sure to share this with the broader team. As for the serve sizes, the first serve of a food is a 'standard serve', and the following serves are based on when the FODMAP content of that food hits the cut-offs for the other traffic lights. There can be small margins between these, which can indicate the concentration of the FODMAPs within that food. Again, we really appreciate the feedback as this helps us work to improve the user experience.

Amazing App

I’ve had IBS all my life and found out about the low FODMAP elimination diet by my GI doctor as an adult. I downloaded this years ago and I have found out some of my intolerances that I didn’t know. When I was little I was always sick to my stomach and had a lot of pain and cramping. Didn’t know my intolerance to lactose. Back then they diagnosed me with IBS but blamed it on stress. Nobody did anything for me. My mom took me doctor to doctor and nothing. Not even a mention of an antacid for my reflux. You guys have done amazing work and I’m so thankful for you. This is an amazing app studied by amazing professors and students. If there was one thing I could add to the app is a filter that I could set to my intolerance group and see all the food from all the different groups together. Instead I have to search each item and take a pen and paper and write down all the intolerances in that group!! That would make this app so much better for me at least!! Thank you for your great work.

Response from developer

Hi there, thank you for your thoughtful review. We are pleased to hear that the app has been a valuable tool in managing your dietary needs! We appreciate the feedback - we suggest using the filter in the Food Guide to alter the traffic lights, which can help you see which foods contain the FODMAPs you can and cannot tolerate. You can learn more about this here: https://www.monashfodmap.com/blog/setting-filters-on-monash-low-fodmap-app/

NOT BEGINNER FRIENDLY AT ALL

I am not a chef, nor can I read the creators of this app’s minds while cooking. While making a recipe like the chicken risotto, it tells you to sauté the vegetables all the way on high in the beginning. And then proceeds to tell you everything else you need to add. Not once does it tell you to reduce the heat. So here I am burning the living you know what out of this entire dish and now it’s disgusting and I wasted my money. And my kitchen is a burnt mess on top of it. I do not know how to cook anything without detailed instructions. Not telling when to reduce heat, or simmer, that’s a huge problem. Should have been a disclaimer about the level of cooking knowledge required for this app.

disappointed

Been using this app for a few days and I’m disappointed to say the least. There are not many recipe options and the search function is extremely dated and has very few brands and specifics. The app description also states that there is a reintroduction guide but this was also hard to navigate and isn’t much of a guide. I am grateful for the research and I’m sure some of the cost of the app goes to funding but unfortunately as the consumer if we have to use apps behind paywalls there are much better ones for the same purpose.

Contradictory Info

Was looking forward to an authoritative source of info for lowfodmap diet. The app has contradictory info - just look up Broccoli heads as a example. Also the inconsistency in the rating info (red to green vs green to read) makes this hard to use. They need to do some work to clean this up. $9.99 for something I can’t trust because of bad info is not great.
