### 5/5 — Отзыв

*2024-07-10, version 1.5.0*

Спасибо Вам большое ! От чистого сердца, не останавливайтесь в разработке приложений, вы гений ❤️🤘🏻

### 5/5 — Супер!

*2023-12-18, version 1.5.0*

Спасибо разработчикам! Незаменимое приложение для расчета диеты.

### 5/5 — Спасибо!

*2023-07-13, version 1.5.0*

Спасибо что создали это приложение стало намного легче подсчитывать ФА все очень удобно

### 5/5 — Удобно👍

*2023-02-14, version 1.5.0*

Приложение отличное, и удобное. Очень рад, что нашёл его!

### 5/5 — Спасибо!

*2022-07-01, version 1.4.0*

Спасибо разработчикам за труд, это очень ценно!❤️ От себя хочу добавить, что очень не хватает именно составлять блюдо (рецепт) и выход (в граммах) этого блюда. Надеюсь, скоро появится!😉

### 5/5 — Очень хорошее приложение!

*2021-10-23, version 1.2.1*

Все очень здорово! Но было бы неплохо расширить имеющуюся в приложении базу продуктов, а также, добавить возможность устанавливать цели по кбжу и фа. Кроме того, чтобы отпала необходимость в дополнительных приложениях, типа, FatSecret, я бы посоветовала добавить ещё некоторые параметры для измерения, вроде веса. Ну и нечто наподобие блокнота для мониторинга фа в крови. 
Я бы с радостью заплатила за подписку на такое приложение.

### 5/5 — Очень удобное приложение для расчёта ФА

*2021-08-05, version 1.1.0*

Спасибо! Так просто считать ФА , это прям груз с плеч! Очень рекомендую родителям и пациентам с ФКУ! Пожелания: добавить функцию готового блюда: например, приготовила второе на три дня, внесла в список блюд, и чтоб можно было вносить в диету готовую порцию из общего объема (с расчетом кбжу и ФА).

### 5/5 — Выручалочка

*2021-07-17, version 1.1.0*

Огромное спасибо за удобнейшее приложение! Для меня, мамы малыша с фку - это просто мастхев. Раньше запаривалась с тетрадями и подсчётами, а сейчас жизнь стала кратно проще, особенно удобно вне дома, поездках и так далее. Спасибо!

### 5/5 — Доработка

*2021-06-15, version 1.0.5*

По возможности, добавьте пожалуйста графу анализы. А ещё, приемы пищи чтобы добавленные сохранялись и на остальные дни и стандартные можно было менять местами с добавленными, было бы удобно, так как в основном все кормят больше 3-х раз, бывает 2 приема утром, чтобы местами можно было менять, а общем)
