How am I supposed to know about buckwheat? ### 1/5 — Not user friendly *2014-01-21, version 1.0* All other reviews are accurate ### 1/5 — Eh *2013-06-12, version 1.0* It needs a lot of work ### 1/5 — pointless *2013-04-22, version 1.0* its not that it was bad. it just doesnt have a point. u just click on the name of a food and it shows u a picture and tells u sumthing stupid like lettuce is a "green vegateble" ### 1/5 — Something Is Rotten Here? *2013-04-06, version 1.0* Call me paranoid but it seems strange that the government would contract to China of all places to develop a half-baked (yea, couldn't resist) app like this. I personally can't believe that the government would contract out to China while there are so many small disadvantaged Veteran owned companies that would leap at the chance to build a solid reliable useful app. It makes you wonder if the app is really a trojan to capture your personal information? The government website at www dot choosemyplate dot gov (you can figure that out) seems much better contrived. Something is fishy here? ### 1/5 — Big disappointment! *2013-02-26, version 1.0* Not all foods are active. It would be great to select each food, have it show on the plate noting the amount and give a calorie count for the whole meal. I down loaded this app thinking it would have recipes like the web site. ### 1/5 — Phhht *2013-02-14, version 1.0* Thought I could use it to teach my kids. Too bad I can't give zero stars. Not worth what you pay for it. Yes, I know it's free. ### 1/5 — Eh... *2013-01-09, version 1.0* This app would be good if you could click on every food listed. It has very limited information. ### 1/5 — Waste of time! *2013-01-06, version 1.0* The first lady did terrible job. Come on seriously, this is the best you can do? ### 1/5 — bad *2012-07-29, version 1.0* i thought the reviews were being egzadurating but no ### 1/5 — Can you give zero stars? *2012-07-22, version 1.0* I read the reviews and couldn't believe an app could be as pointless as the reviews said. It's actually worse. There is no point, it does nothing. Don't bother wasting the bandwidth to download it. ### 1/5 — I wish I could give zero stars. *2012-07-22, version 1.0* It doesn't do anything and the drawings are bad. ### 1/5 — fail *2012-07-10, version 1.0* I thought this would be some what like the myplate web site, it's not. I can not believe how useless this app is. ### 1/5 — Crap *2012-05-22, version 1.0* This is app is crap it doesn't let you select everything doesn't track your eating don't waste your time with this crap once again crap. the app Lose it is the way to go ### 1/5 — Awful! *2012-03-29, version 1.0* Not a good way to publicize this! My fitness pal is the way to go! ### 1/5 — Useless! *2012-03-28, version 1.0* Utterly useless app. I thought it would be like supertracker on the myplate website, but no. I don't know what this app is supposed to do, but it fails. So pointless! ### 1/5 — Horrible. *2012-03-24, version 1.0* This app needs work, there's nothing to do on it like the website. It's horrible it doesn't do anything. The reason I wanted this app was because I'm going on a diet, this deffintly not what I was expecting. Smh at Mrs.Obama. She could of done better with this app. ### 1/5 — Hyped up way too much *2012-03-05, version 1.0* There isn't anything to this site. Gets way too much publicity for being such a useless app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Awful *2017-02-17, version 1.0* Do not get it. Awful waste of money. ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2016-09-28, version 1.0* The info in the app is half completed, it's boring and completely useless. If you want to know more about my plate just talk to a dietitian or registered nutritionist. ### 1/5 — What is this?? *2016-07-28, version 1.0* Worst tracker ever. Can't do anything with it! ### 1/5 — Don't waste your time *2016-04-21, version 1.0* Don't waste your time with this app ### 1/5 — What's the point *2015-03-03, version 1.0* This app gives you very little information and the info it does give you is very limited. The design it poor and there is little point to get this app. Very disappointed. ### 1/5 — Worthless *2014-12-13, version 1.0* This app doesn't do anything but show portion sizes. Most of the list is not clickable. ### 1/5 — Not wonderful. *2014-07-05, version 1.0* Wow. I had to do a nutrition project with My Plate for class. It lacked a lot of foods on there. This app is worse. Plus it's not very used friendly. ### 1/5 — CHEAP *2014-03-29, version 1.0* IT WONT EVEN LET ME DOWNLOAD THE GAME! ### 1/5 — Don't expect too much. *2014-03-09, version 1.0* Could be the most worthless app I've ever downloaded. Last updated June of 2011... If you're wondering what a very select few fruits, vegetables, etc. look like and what a serving size is, then this app is for you. If you want an app with any usefulness to your life, you're looking at the wrong one. About what you would expect out of a government app. I would recommend downloading if you're in need of a quick laugh. ### 1/5 — Useless *2014-02-28, version 1.0* I'm not even honestly sure what the point of this app is. It's completely useless ## Most praised reviews (2 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app! *2015-01-10, version 1.0* This app gives me a great visual reminder! Absolutely does what it's intended. A super tracker app would be amazing also! ### 4/5 — Visual Reminder *2012-09-24, version 1.0* OK call me inquisitive, but I had to check out this App. I too wish it was more interactive, but it seems to accomplish what it set out to do and that was to be a visual reminder. A reminder to include the various food groups when thinking about a meal and a visual guide for appropriate portion sizes. Many of us know what to do and at some point this visual reminder may be all that this needed to stay on track, or it can certainly serve as a good starting point. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
