Uses graphics instead of words

While it has the basic information that you would be looking for, there is no option (that I saw) that would put the information about the food in words. For example, if you enter chicken, you get an image of a thermometer instead of them telling you warming ... so you have to remember (or look it up) whether that particular image means warm or hot, then for the organs there are pictutres of organs instead of the words, etc. It's just takes a lot more effort to get basic data than it should. If they would allow you to have the information either with words or with both words and images as well, I would increase it to a 4 or 5 star app. Right now it's more efficient for me to look it up online.

Does Not Display any food

I cannot search or lookup any food or nutrients.

Response from developer

Dear user, it has come to our attention that recently some users are having trouble accessing the nutrients and recipes database. We have fixed the problem with version 4.0. So, the app should work properly again. If the app works for you, could you please adjust your rating?

Ads for a paid app?

There’s an ad that’s permanently at the bottom of the page that makes the rest of the info take up the screen. This means every time you want to go back or access the main menu, you have to quit the app and open it again. And this is a paid app. If you have some patience working with this then the info provided is just OK, but definitely not worth the trouble.

Response from developer

Hi Samgee, Thank you for your feedback. We are working on a mayor update, without adds, a better interface and more functionality. We hope to release it before summer (july 2021) For now: Just click on the right top of the page (3 lines), then you get back to the main menu. If you have any other suggestions or requests, let us know. Perhaps we can include it in our next update. Best regards, Alisa
