Every food I type in it says “missing” I tried to report the problem and it won’t even let me do that. Waste of a buck ### 1/5 — Does not work *2024-12-25* Does not work ### 1/5 — No foods will load when searching. *2024-12-05, version 2.5.2* Nothing loads when trying to search for a food. Even when searching for one that is certain to be in the list. ### 1/5 — Terrible!!! PLEASE DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY *2024-03-09, version 2.5.2* This app give absolutely no details. So disappointed in the quality of the information. I’ll be deleting and requesting a $2 refund just out of principle!! ### 1/5 — Bad *2023-11-11, version 2.5.2* This app doesn’t work. Any food I type is not able to be found. ### 1/5 — Food listing and search not working?! *2023-09-30, version 2.5.2* Not sure why, but I am unable to search food listing or search for a food in search bar. Used this before with no issues. ### 1/5 — Absolute waste of money *2023-07-29, version 2.5.2* See above ### 1/5 — Con - app doesn’t work *2023-05-23, version 2.5.2* All it is is a list of about 7 food groups to eat and 7 not to eat. You can’t search for particular foods it just says missing food whatever it is even stuff you know is obviously paleo. Don’t give this person your money. Can’t understand the ratings. All I can say is they must be fake as well ### 1/5 — Frustrated *2023-05-18, version 2.5.2* Didn’t have a chance of using this app. Went to wrong item each time texted an item. Tried several times to get it resolved through emails but no response Terrible. I’m sure it will be a great app but right now I’m frustrated ### 1/5 — Total scam *2023-04-14, version 2.5.2* No searchable list - literally just the 20 or so basic “do eat/don’t eat” things you can find for free on any website. The alphabetical database is empty. Cannot believe you’re allowed to charge for this and lie about what people are paying for. Would give 0 stars if possible. What a rip off! ### 1/5 — No upc lookup? *2021-11-03, version 2.5.2* If there is a upc lookup that tells you approved or no tell me. If not don’t waste your ninety nine cents. ### 1/5 — Waste of a dollar *2021-04-23, version 2.5.2* You can literally google all this stuff. I was hoping to be able to scan products and expect some algorithm to check every Ingredient to tell me paleo or not. ### 4/5 — It’s pretty good *2021-01-24, version 2.5.2* I use it EVERYDAY I really like it but I feel like they could add more food items. Or even a scanner that lets you scan while your in the grocery store to see if it is paleo or not. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Says I used my three free scans *2026-03-27, version 3.2.1* I paid for the app but it has locked me out of scanning and says I already used my three free scans? ### 1/5 — Seems dead *2025-11-13, version 2.5.2* Contains no database and search comes up empty for everything ### 1/5 — awful *2025-11-10, version 2.5.2* waste of $1.99, didn’t deserve 1 star ### 1/5 — Bad app *2025-10-17, version 2.5.2* Not worth your 99 cents ### 1/5 — Glitchy garbage *2025-09-11, version 2.5.2* Glitchy garbage app. Not worth .99 ### 1/5 — No good *2025-08-26, version 2.5.2* Can’t search anything ### 1/5 — Horrible *2025-06-18, version 2.5.2* My husband and I are doing this together and his app works just fine- mine does not. I have reached out to support with nothing noted back. Frustrating to do this with no help. Very disappointed. ### 1/5 — App is not loading *2025-05-23, version 2.5.2* My doctor said I should look into this using this app as a guide for my diet. When I press “More Info” I get a message saying that it is loading. But it never does. I want a refund!!!! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-05-03, version 2.5.2* Probably Chinese spyware. Won’t list anything ### 1/5 — Me *2025-02-15, version 2.5.2* Waste of $1.05. Doesn’t work at all! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love it *2023-02-14, version 2.5.2* The more info explaining why is detailed and fun. Thanks ### 5/5 — It serves its purpose! *2021-08-04, version 2.5.2* Though the UX is clunky and it looks like it’s not being updated. ### 5/5 — Great help *2021-07-05, version 2.5.2* I have spent the last couple of days googling is so and so paleo so this app really helps a lot. And it’s funny with it description.mousy type in what you want to know and it will tell you if it’s paleo or not ### 5/5 — Essential ! *2020-07-14, version 2.5.2* It is just so easy to check if a food is paleo or not. No excuses! I actually tend mostly to Primal, but the list is pretty much the same and the explanations clear up any doubt. Sensible, well thought out and easy to use. Love it. ### 5/5 — Love *2020-06-01, version 2.5.2* I love this app and use it very often. It’s a great reference guide. Pretty much everything I search is listed, with a few exceptions of new flavors or product line. I’m so thankful I found it. ### 5/5 — Great little app *2020-04-17, version 2.5.2* Essentially a huge food list with a yes or no answer, it’s very quick, very easy to use and extremely handy if unsure when shopping or choosing what to eat. ### 5/5 — Good for newbies. *2020-02-27, version 2.5.2* I think this is a great guide. It isn't perfect but it's close. I really really appreciate this app. It's helped me every day since I got it. ### 5/5 — I love this. *2020-01-21, version 2.5.2* I love this app because it’s so easy to use, simple, and effective. I rate this 5/5 but would love to see more foods/dishes consistently added in the future. ### 5/5 — All you need *2019-09-16, version 2.5.2* Although the paleo diet is pretty self explanatory, it is nice to have this simple app that helps guide you through out the day. ❤️ ### 5/5 — Saves me every time! *2019-05-28, version 2.5.2* Very helpful resource and gives great explanations as to why or not it is Paleo friendly or not! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
