### 5/5 — Great App

*2023-05-13*

Thank you for making this App 😀

### 4/5 — Nicht verkehrt, aber…

*2022-11-17, version 1.6*

Leider gibt es keine Suchfunktion nach Lebensmitteln, nur leidiges Scrollen in den Listen. 
Auch fehlt die Möglichkeit sich Lebensmittel für den einzelnen Tag anzuschauen und evtl. zu korrigieren. 

Aber die App ist empfehlenswert und bietet viele Potentiale und Hilfen

### 2/5 — Widersprüche

*2022-09-25, version 1.6*

Einmal Fleischfond mit 58/100, 
Direkt darunter Fleischfond mit 3/100 angegeben.
Was stimmt jetzt?
So verliert man schon ein wenig das Vertrauen in die App.

### 5/5 — Gout patients bible

*2022-05-13*

Incredible database of foods. Thank you for making this!!

### 5/5 — Einfach und Effektiv.

*2022-04-21, version 1.6*

Reduziert auf das Wichtige.
Summiert auf Tagesebene auf, ermittelt Wochen- und Monatsdurchschnitt.
Mehr brauche ich nicht.
Top!

### 1/5 — Useless

*2021-04-17, version 1.6*

No key provided for colour categories, huge gaps in coverage of specific foods (eg. lists nuts no one has even heard of but doesn’t list cashews — probably the most popular nut).  Another facile online source of half-baked information.

### 2/5 — Daten hilfreich aber Probleme mit Darkmode

*2020-10-05, version 1.5*

App im Darkmode nicht nutzbar

### 1/5 — Fehlende Suchfunktion und fehlende Eingabebestätigung

*2020-09-22, version 1.4*

Es fehlt hier noch eine Suchfunktion
Und in den Einstellungen gibt es keine Return Funktion 
Ich bei der Eingabe nicht mehr heraus da ich die Eingabe nicht bestätigen kann

### 2/5 — App would be great if it was in ENGLISH!!

*2020-01-25, version 1.3*

This app is perfect for what I need but I don’t speak German and the settings don’t include a language option. Please release this with English food lists because it’s exactly what I’m after!!

### 2/5 — NO English listings

*2019-07-05*

The “German and English” in the App Store description is is very misleading, as the actual food listings are only in German.
