### 5/5 — Excellent

*2022-05-11, version 1.3.1*

Just diagnosed with heart issues. Perfect app for finding out amount of sodium in virtual every food there is. Better yet it’s free

### 1/5 — buds bugs bugs… Doesn’t work

*2022-05-04, version 1.3.1*

Tried searching “peanut butter” and it said there were 137 results but nothing showed up in the listing. Tried a few more searches and the same thing. Yes, I had an internet connection.

### 5/5 — Surprised at its completeness and thoroughness

*2020-11-30, version 1.3.1*

Have failed to find anything I have looked for. Easy to use and very informative

### 2/5 — Needs improvement

*2020-09-29, version 1.3.1*

App is difficult to navigate and crashes often. Are serving sizes per ounce? Or several ounces, the values are not consistent across the app. Great start but could use massive improvement.

### 1/5 — Only 349 Foods to Select From. Not Enough.

*2020-06-09*

Only 349 foods. Needs many many many more foods in the database to choose from. 
No barcode scanner option, which would be a great addition.

**Developer response:** Sorry, there are around 8000 foods in app. 

Please click the hamburger icon on top left of the app and you will see multiple categories of food items in left menu. Each food category contains various food items and cumulative sum is around 8000 food items. 

We will add barcode scanner option in our future app version. Thank you for the suggestion.

### 5/5 — Very easy to use

*2018-02-09, version 1.0*

Looking to lower my daily sodium intake. Found this free app and so far I like it. It has categories with a column for sodium content as well as for carbs, calories. There are info for known places like MacDonald’s, Wendy. Hoping they will add more popular fast food places and common name brand foods. And there’s an option to hide ads for FREE!
