Food tracking is unfortunately useless
no support for iPad screen sizes. it pulled a random weight from the last time I tracked it in Apple health, several years ago, and set that as my baseline rather than my current weight which was significantly more. Additionally, not a single food or beverage that I at today was in the app for food tracking except eggs, but it wouldn't let me search for hardboiled eggs. :( Applegate sausage, cherry coke, baby spinach, lifesavers candy, none of it in the app. Can't track calories in if the foods aren't in the app, and none of those are niche products, either. Needs an updated database, perhaps they could license one from a mainstream fitness provider?

Thank you
Update
I like using the tracking program on Move Coach, but it needs to be updated, as there is a lot of guessing about type foods, how to break a casserole down. Also what would be a BIG help would include a scanner to scan foods when grocery shopping.

It’s usable but not great for younger people
I’m an AD service member testing out government made health apps for my own health journey. The biggest plus I see with this one is that the app allows you to add your own customized foods info like macros and nutritional values. Most other apps have that behind the premium features. The bad things I’ve seen; half of screen is permanently taken up by crisis support. It makes the interface annoying because when I search for something the crisis banner takes up 1/8 of the screen the search bar takes up another 1/8 and the keyboard takes up 1/3 at the bottom. I’m scrolling at one line at a time while other apps allow ten items to be in the search area at once. The servings are pretty strict, I would like more conversation to make it easier for me to give a better estimate when count calories. Also a barcode scanner would be helpful.
