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. ### 2/5 — This would be great but…… *2022-07-04, version 2.3* 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. ### 3/5 — Potential to be good *2021-06-15, version 2.3* 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. ### 1/5 — Good concept... mediocre app *2019-10-02, version 2.3* Love the glycal concept but the app hardly has any food options in the database. Makes the app not useful. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work and no support *2019-07-29, version 2.3* I am more than happy to rewrite this review if you get in touch. The app does not save my entries. The thee tracking tools either don’t work or are not intuitive enough to use. And all requests for help via your support link just hung there. Please get in touch. ### 4/5 — The only diet that works for me *2019-07-07, version 2.3* I tried this diet several years ago and was super pleased. I was able to fit into clothes I couldn’t wear in years! Then I got cocky with my weight loss and went back to my old bad habits. Since gaining the weight back I have tried and lost a bit on keto and more recently been trying intermittent fasting which made me gain more weight :( I found this app again a few days ago and started and have already lost the 3 lbs I gained doing IF. Can’t tell you how many times I log a meal in then tweak it before consuming. I was making too many “small” mistakes that ended up with higher GI’s even tho I wasn’t eating sugar, bread or pasta. Been watching so many health gurus on YouTube my brain was getting fried trying to figure out who to believe. This is the answer I needed..and best of all.. I have not been hungry or cranky at all! Gaining weight while starving sucked bad.lol I wish I could give the app itself a 5 star but its lacking so many foods. I have to go into the web and search some items myself I may want to add and check their GIs . But if you want something to work bad enough you can put in the work. :) BUT the diet itself I give a 5*+ wish someone could fix the lacking app problems. I’m sure it would help millions of people that are really so confused about what to eat anymore. ### 1/5 — Old reviews *2019-06-22, version 2.3* App hasn’t been updated in 2 yrs to address bugs and shortcomings. 5 star reviews must be fake reviews given all the problems with this app. Sounds like it’s not worth pursuing a refund. ### 1/5 — Won’t refund *2019-02-01, version 2.3* This app is not what I thought it was. The foods that I eat are not on their lists. Very simple although It’s not what I need. Won’t refund. ### 4/5 — It’s pretty good, but what about GI? *2018-11-20, version 2.3* The app overall is very useful, even the free version. Honestly everything is perfect exempt for those who want to know the Glycemic Index of the foods they’re eating. ### 1/5 — You cannot add foods *2018-11-03, version 2.3* This app is useless to me without the ability to add foods. I want my $ back for the app purchase and the purchase of the pro app options. ### 3/5 — Lacking *2018-10-28, version 2.3* This app is lacking choices and should have a barcode scanner. Also unable to ask questions. Comment section doesn’t work I do like though. Just starting out ### 2/5 — Límited data base *2018-09-01, version 2.3* Wish you could include the data from the University of Sydney on the Database of the App I tried to send you an e-mail but it seems you no longer support this app ### 3/5 — Update food list *2018-08-29, version 2.3* I have tried to send numerous questions and suggestions for food updates and it never sends. Just sits in limbo. The app would work great if they fix a few things. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Diet Didn’t Work *2024-01-13, version 2.3* 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. ### 1/5 — Wish I never paid for this app *2023-04-08, version 2.3* 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 ### 1/5 — Dead App - I purchased it a few years back - received no support. *2022-09-13, version 2.3* Dead App - I purchased it a few years back - received no support. ### 1/5 — Stopped Working *2022-05-24, version 2.3* 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! ### 1/5 — This used to be a great app but it isn’t any more *2022-02-24, version 2.3* 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 ### 1/5 — Stalled first day *2021-09-24, version 2.3* Paid $4. App stuck, don’t waste your time or money. ### 1/5 — Won’t record weight *2021-01-03, version 2.3* 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. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2020-03-04, version 2.3* The app is glitchy and doesn’t accurately count calories. I just wasted $4! 😡 ### 1/5 — App closes *2020-02-01, version 2.3* 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. ### 1/5 — Useless - crashes constantly *2019-12-27, version 2.3* The info seems good but the ability to use it is compromised as it crashes EVERY. SINGLE. TIME! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — This works for me!! *2025-07-21, version 2.3* 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. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2025-04-20, version 2.3* This app has been helpful to me for YEARS!! ### 5/5 — Great Way To Lose Weight *2025-02-14, version 2.3* 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! ### 5/5 — invaluable *2024-09-16, version 2.3* 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. ### 5/5 — Excellent diet, and unique excellent app! *2021-11-20, version 2.3* Great for pre-diabetics and anyone who needs to control their weight. Always works. ### 5/5 — Great and could be better yes but I like it *2019-03-21, version 2.3* It could be better yes but it works great for me. It’s only $3.99 for the pro it more than serves its purpose just plug in and use it for what it is you will get results. ### 5/5 — This system works. *2018-08-23, version 2.3* Stick to the green for 2 weeks then add 1 yellow and a cheat meal then a cheat day ### 5/5 — Low-Glycal *2018-05-06, version 2.3* This app saved my mind., I am a personal trainer for over 25 years and once I hit the mother load of menopause. All my research of vitamins -and hormone replacement and this app I am slowing losing the extra 30 lbs I inherited... ### 5/5 — Total believer *2018-03-23, version 2.3* In 7 months I have lost 50 lbs and gained muscle! Dr Dunham at Bio fit practices what he preaches . ### 5/5 — I think I love it!!! *2017-11-06, version 2.3* I literally just downloaded last night read up on everything and logged my first meal, I already love the app. I think at long last I may have found what I been looking for. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
