### 1/5 — App keeps crashing

*2023-05-18*

I’ve never been able to use the app because it keeps crashing.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2021-07-05, version 2.6.5*

Does exactly what it says it does. I’ve been using this app for years and absolutely love it. Especially where you can add your own notes

### 1/5 — Awful

*2019-08-28, version 2.6.5*

Every time I type something to search the app kicks me out!

### 1/5 — Sehr schade

*2018-06-17*

Nunmehr seit 2 Jahren lassen sich beide Versionen überhaupt gar nicht mehr benutzen...es wird rein gar nichts mehr angezeigt...😏🤔
Hatte ich sehr viel im Gebrauch...
Würde mir eine Überarbeitung wünschen...😉👍❗️

### 5/5 — Super!!

*2016-02-12*

Ich lebe schon des längeren mit TCM. Bei essen Akupunktur und anderen Dingen. Bisher hat mir eine App wie diese jedoch gefehlt. Jetzt habe ich immer alle Informationen beim einkaufen dabei und muss nicht dran denken meine Liste einzupacken damit ich nachschauen kann welches Lebensmittel gehört in welche Gruppe. 
Das die App bei der Suche abstürzt stört mich persönlich jetzt nicht arg. Zumal ich meine hauptlebensmittel auswendig kenne. 
Danke an die Entwickler und macht weiter so. Ich werde eure App in der vollversion kaufen und auch meinem Akupunkteur empfehlen. 👏🏻👏🏻😍😊

### 1/5 — Stürzt noch ab

*2015-11-04*

Tippt man fünf Buchstaben in die Suche stürzt die App ab.:-(((

### 5/5 — Excellent App!  Indispensable.

*2015-11-01*

I use this app in conjunction with my acupuncturist's guidance.  Indispensable tool. So helpful.   Very glad someone thought to create this app, it makes my life so much easier as far as hot/warm/neutral versus cool/cold food choices.  Thank you!

### 1/5 — Not recommended

*2015-05-25, version 2.6.2*

Your ads are appalling.  They keep popping up and they take up the whole screen.

### 4/5 — Handy app

*2015-03-14*

Good for quick look ups. Full version was the best deal to get the most food choices. Search engines could be better.

### 1/5 — Pop-up ads when you make in-app purchase

*2015-01-25*

Don't make in-app purchases because the. You get pop-up ads.  And for the price of each category, you might as well go with the Pro version, but they don't give you that option.
