Good and simple app

App is good for simple goal tracking. Other apps get very complicated with tracking calories, details of meals etc. Only con about this is app is you cannot set goals for future dates - only same day or past. Would love to see an update where we can set future goals, even at a week or month at a time.

Useless

All it does it allow you to set goals/notifications to eat the food groups during a meal. All of the info on planning, the food groups, etc is available on the website. There is no need to download this app. It is entirely possible to set up the exact same goals/notifications in other organizational apps.
