Doesn’t work

The video tutorial bears no resemblance to what the app does. You have to refer a friend to keep using it.

Clunky

I was excited to try this app but it really pushes using the camera and I couldn’t find any easy way to enter foods manually or create recipes. I scanned the ingredients for a smoothie and it converted uncooked oats to a bowl of oatmeal, frozen banana to something else entirely and frozen mango to mango nectar. It said to swipe left to edit or delete but there was no way to edit what it changed it to and searching for the correct item did not give me any way to add it to the recipe. Not for me.

Doesn’t Work

Just download this app. Went to create an account and I got some error message. Doesn’t work.

Updated this review after the developer emailed me saying the issue was corrected. The sign up/in process went smoothly. Looking forward to using this app.

I'm very sorry for the trouble. The overwhelming response overloaded the email verification system, but there is a new system in place now so things should now be working smoothly. Please let me know if you're still having issues logging on and happy to help.

Doesn’t work

Went to create a mandatory account (why do I need an account unless you plan to profit from my personal information?). Then it wanted to verify my email. Email for verification was never sent. So I deleted app. You really don’t need this type stuff anyway if you shop the permitter of the store and only visit the aisles for olive oil and beans!

I’m so sorry for the trouble. The overwhelming response temporarily overloaded the email verification system, but a new system is now in place and should be working smoothly. The reason for a personal account is that the app goes beyond a simple food scanner. It also allows you to track meals and health metrics over time and we need a way of knowing who's who. Your shopping strategy of eating around the perimeter of the store is a great one, and I encourage you to spread this excellent bit of advice! I agree there’s no absolute need for apps. This has been a personal passion project to offer an option for people who want not only to find healthier foods, but perhaps more importantly to build more balanced meals and recipes. But there are many approaches to healthy eating and it is important to find one that works personally. Thank you again for your thoughtful feedback. And wishing you good health. : )

Dumb bites?

Completely worthless. The promised inbound email to verify address never came (going on 45 minutes).

Also heard "this app bites"! Do sincerely apologize for the logon issues. The email verification system was overloaded by the popular response. There is a new system in place now that should be running smoothly. If you have any additional please let me know.

No confirmation email

Love the idea of this app but no matter what I try the email to confirm email address won’t come. Looked in junk and still nothing. :( Oh well.

Error message

I love the concept and wish I could access the app, but I receive an error message about a daily email limit (which makes no sense) when I try to open the app. Will check back in a month or so.

An App I Actually Keep Using

My default with apps is to get really excited, promise myself I will stick with it, and then stop using them pretty quickly. This one has been different. I was able to get all my basic food choices figured out right away, and now whenever I am planning dinner or trying a new recipe, I can pull it out and choose better options that gradually make a real difference.

With health issues, every little change has a big impact on how I feel, and this lets me keep the meals I enjoy while making healthier substitutions. It gives me a simple way to make choices that truly support my health

Helpful tool

With the overwhelming amount of nutritional advice and diets out there, I find it really helpful to have a simple yet rigorous and science backed tool to help me understand the nutritional value of what I’m eating

Must-have for long term health

My wife and I have been reading the medical community’s research on how to increase our health span as we age and have found this to be an invaluable resource in our meal planning and grocery shopping. This enhances our shopping experience as well when we can explain to others why we’re scanning items on the shelves with the app. Having this information at our fingertips also enables us to make informed decisions when we want to try a new snack. I highly recommend this app

I love this app!

I’ve used many calorie scan/food apps over time and this one offers a more comprehensive and insightful angle for healthy eating!! Focusing less on “good” or “bad” foods and more on how to approach meals for a sustainably healthy approach to eating! I Love it!!

Use it all most every meal

2 years ago my dad decided to create a app that could help you balance your diet instead of cutting foods out fully. Throughout the process of making the app, he has shown me that even though red might not be the best for you, it’s still possible to balance it out with other foods. In my opinion this apps helps with balancing meals so you don’t starve yourself or cut out foods that you enjoy, but might not be the best for you. If you still want to incorporate things that aren’t as healthy in meals, this app can help you do that exactly.

Great ideas!

As a beta tester, I’ve seen this app grow into the smartest, most research-based food rating system out there. It doesn’t just score individual foods—it lets you combine them for a full meal score. Still a work in progress, but the developer (a gastroenterologist) is incredibly open to feedback and quick to add new features. Highly recommended!

Not ready for prime time

This app is not working and needs further development. Love the idea, though. Will check back in a few months.
