### 1/5 — Useless

*2020-02-12, version 3*

No way to sign in, nothing can be accessed without paying but no way to register for login.

### 1/5 — IPOD owner

*2014-01-16, version 1.1*

I downloaded this app but it asks for an email and password to use it - but doesn't give a way to sign up.  What gives????

### 1/5 — Useless

*2013-02-22, version 1.0*

This app is not free but requires a monthly or yearly subscription. It is, therefore, useless to those who do not subscribe to this content.

### 1/5 — Completely Useless *** NOT FREE***

*2013-02-20, version 1.0*

As a "consumer", you can not access any "consumer" information in this app at all without being a paid subscriber and/or purchasing content. Completely useless.

### 1/5 — Not a free app at all

*2013-01-05, version 1.0*

This app only has empty categories without any health info. You need to buy all content. Not helpfully at all.

### 3/5 — Army

*2012-11-28, version 1.0*

App works great on my ipad, but not so good on my iphone 5. On the phone it does not load the ingredients like it does on the ipad. It just continually searches. Hope they fix in the next version.
