This works for me!!

I have found myself returning to this app. When it first came out, I lost 35 pounds. It was a convenient way to login my food, never be hungry and keep my insulin spikes in check.

Missing some functions

The app has many glitches, including that an error message occurs when you try to pay for the pro version of the app. In addition, any of the “info” buttons within the app bring up a blank webpage

Great app!

This app has been helpful to me for YEARS!!

Great Way To Lose Weight

Losing weight can be a difficult journey. There are tons of books and approaches out there - most contradictory and confusing. The Low Glycal Diet is a simple approach that will work for anyone. The basic rule is don’t combine protein/fat meals with carbs! If you use the app and follow Dr. Dunham’s book, the pounds melt off. Really! I don’t think there is a better method for reaching your target weight and keeping the excess pounds off indefinitely. This is a wonderful and effective diet. No points to count, no exercise routines, & no pills to take, etc. The Low Glycal Diet is truly a lifestyle plan that is a joy to follow for the rest of our lives!

invaluable

I’ve used this app regularly for years. It is excellent. there are no other apps like it.
I hope Biofit will continue to support it.

Diet Didn’t Work

The plan didn’t work for me and I followed it to the letter. I live near the Doctors Clinic, so I called for advice, and even offered to pay for a consult but didn’t even get a call back. This leads me to believe that he’s “selling snake oil”. The app says calories don’t matter. Really?! I wanted to believe it and his book sounded logical but it didn’t work.

Wish I never paid for this app

The only thing this app does is aggravate me. Now matter what kind of food combos I put in, it’s red and leaves no reason why. There are no planned meals for suggestions and the info tab does not work. NOT GOOD

Needs ability to manually add food items

The app is great, but it’s not really a solution without the ability to manually add items. If I know the calories and GL for a food, I can calculate glycals on my own- but then I can’t enter the meal into the tracker. If I could enter glycals myself- or even better, enter calories and GL and have the app calculate it for me- this app would be an all in one solution for following the diet. As it is, I’m having to keep a notebook, and the “pro” features that I paid for are t much use to me.

Dead App - I purchased it a few years back - received no support.

This would be great but……

I purchased the Pro version and entered my breakfast this morning and the time states it’s 10.20pm. I can’t find anywhere in the settings to change my location to GMT. I tried sending a question to be answered but it hasn’t sent.

Also I have raw food supplements daily and I can’t search for this. Most other apps I’ve used you can scan a bar code to find the food. Disappointing.

Stopped Working

App has stopped working. When trying to search for or select food, there is an error message. App can not be used if food selection is not available!

This used to be a great app but it isn’t any more

This was a great little App at one time Now the search for a food doesn’t work Try to email to ask for GL on certain foods the email doesn’t send This App needs some work doing on it to fix these glitches

Excellent diet, and unique excellent app!

Great for pre-diabetics and anyone who needs to control their weight. Always works.

Stalled first day

Paid $4. App stuck, don’t waste your time or money.

Potential to be good

The app is helping me learn about food combinations. But, freezes when trying to send a question. Freezes when trying to update weight. Limited food database (no zucchini?). Would be great if I could download four diary to send to doctor.

Won’t record weight

I just paid $4.97 for upgrade, was really excited about trying this app. The weight tracker won’t work. You can’t send anything to app maker for suggestions and help. The last time this app was upgraded was three years ago. I wish I would have done more research before purchasing this app. What a disappointment.

Terrible

The app is glitchy and doesn’t accurately count calories. I just wasted $4! 😡

App closes

I paid $3.99 for Pro only for a app that closes every time I try and track a meal. It also deletes the entry when it closes. Very disappointed. I have been looking for an app that uses the GI and GL for weight loss and blood sugar control.

Useless - crashes constantly

The info seems good but the ability to use it is compromised as it crashes EVERY. SINGLE. TIME!

Good concept... mediocre app

Love the glycal concept but the app hardly has any food options in the database. Makes the app not useful.
