Incorrect information

The app is consistently telling me that applesauce is fine for a low fodmap diet which is absolutely incorrect. I reported the issue over a month ago and it has not been fixed. I feel like I can’t trust it.

Thank you so much
FTFan, but not of this

When it works

Nice app when it works but I’m finding that half the time it won’t even open up, even when I have 2 bars on 5G. You can forget LTE! Makes no sense to me why it won’t open half the time when I have a good cell signal. Just seems like it’s not very stable to me.

FAQ

What does Spoonful do?

Spoonful is a food scanner that helps you eat with confidence by analyzing food products for specific dietary needs. You can scan barcodes or take photos of products to instantly see if they are safe for your diet, whether it's low FODMAP, gluten-free, vegan, or managing allergies.

What dietary needs does Spoonful support?

The app supports a wide range of dietary needs, including low FODMAP diets (for IBS management), gluten-free diets (detecting hidden gluten and cross-contact risks), allergen scanning (for milk, fish, shellfish, peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, soy, and eggs), and plant-based diets (vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian).

How does Spoonful help me find alternatives?

If a product is not suitable for your diet, Spoonful doesn't just tell you 'no.' It actively finds you the best substitute products based on taste and popularity, ensuring you can still find suitable options when shopping.

Is Spoonful free to use?

The app offers a free tier with in-app purchases. This allows users to access core scanning features and community insights, with options to upgrade for enhanced functionality or access to specific dietary databases.

Who is Spoonful designed for?

This app is designed for individuals who have specific and often complex dietary requirements. This includes people managing Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), celiac disease, various food allergies, or those who choose to follow plant-based lifestyles.
