Great app, highly recomended
Great app, probably the best. The diary feature is very useful. The reintroduction process is comprehensive. Good recipes. The certified products are mostly Australian/American and unavailable in the UK. Also, go to the website at Monash Uni. I guess the app payment and data collection supports their research, which is good to know. Overall a very well thought out and useful app that makes the FODMAP process much, much easier!
Today, I feel better than James Brown!

Confusing app without clear ways to use it
Hi. I just downloaded this app and there are no meal plans, or ways to use it that help me do meal planning. Basically I need to look on lists to see if various this and that's are green, yellow or red lit? I had thought with a paid app, that I would be getting listed out meal plans to follow, and easy ways to check foods on menus in restaurants, to make meal plans for myself, etc. It seems that this is mostly something I pay for to get the Modify Health food subscription? SUPER disappointed, feel I just wasted 8$. :-(

A complex brand marketing app
The search function on this app is terrible. Results on something as simple as “peanuts” see whole food buried, and brands prioritised.
Multiple words appear next to single items with a one word label.
There is very little focus on “healthy whole foods”.
It’s a sell out; it’s confusing.

Needs some improvement but good resource
I bought this on recommendation from my dietician, and I’m a little unimpressed with it for the fee. Having the food info is great but search is very hit or miss on finding the right items. Tracking via the diary is much easier than manual, however biggest thing for me is that the food guide and diary should be linked: why can’t I go through and choose from the foods when I add to the diary so I don’t have to tap back in and out to see their traffic lights. Having those lights in the diary would be helpful too.

They change the privacy policy after you pay/sign up
They changed the privacy policy for US and it’s not very functional/applicable for US. I do not recommend. Very disappointing
Worth The Hype
After over a decade of IBS D issues finding out about “FODMAPS” has been life changing. I now know why some foods trigger me & find safe alternatives by using this app.
Grocery shopping, meal planning, meal prep, eating out, travel all made easier. My favourite part is the FOOD GUIDE traffic light system. Easy to understand and an invaluable tool right at your finger tips.

not specific
you can get better online for free, you can’t look up a particular product for e.g which you can on free myfitnesspal i was hoping on something similar that added the fodmap info.
Waste of $. Refund please.
I wish they’d offer a free trial first so I could see that this is not a terribly user friendly app. Common words don’t come up by typing a few letters and you have to type the entire thing or it’s showing you random items unrelated to what you’re searching. I’d love a refund. I won’t be using this.

Still in development
The app is just the extended version of the web site with searchable feature on a limited tested food. The challenge is still thousand of other products out there that i will have to second guess or through trial and error. Pricing is not great based on provided contents. The gluten free app was cheaper with better functionality and community base evaluation on eating out choices. The university staff needs to hurry up with the upgrade; unless this is only an attempt to recover the research costs. Not a problem there, but i think i would have to find the not so official tool to manage my condition.

Useless
It’s better to just get a diary booklet and fill it out yourself. This does not help me one bit.
Payment
Charged me without my consent. Did not even put my credit card info in but it still charged me $8.49. Maybe it was in a germs and conditions but when I checked the app to cancel that I could not find a subscription area. Not even that helpful with recipes either.
Screen cut off
iPhone 14 Pro, updated.
*In filtering, the sides of the screen are cut off. On the left, I see what is likely the word lactose or fructose etc, but all I see are the last two letters. On the right, I see part of an unhappy face.
* When searching ingredients, whether from the category of food or from the certified list, most returns are recipes or premade products that contain that food.
*There doesn't appear a category for diabetics or allergies, celiac, so many foods are presented when the user knows they can't have it.
It's pretty basic and not what I expected. A trial period before buying would have been useful. I don't think I'll be using this app much.

The best food tracker!
I use this every day for every meal and have for a few years now.
Some enhancements recommended
Is easy to use and the traffic light and stack cups are useful. What would be great is if you could add food straight from the guide to your diary without having to type meals, and a way for foods added in a 2-3 hour window to add towards a stack cup tracker within the diary, so you don’t have to be nervous about hitting your limit of FODMAPs, given a meal is rarely just one or two ingredients.

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.

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.

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.

Nice app
At first I was disappointed because the app wasn’t working well on my iPad, and I posted a review as such. The developer got I touch with me, THAT was HUGE in my book. So I am adjusting my review in that the app works GREAT on my phone, and actually I use it more than I would have on the iPad. I’m very satisfied with the ease and all of the pertinent information that I can log. It’s very helpful with the tutorial as well.
