THM is all about food freedom, but sometimes it can be tricky to figure out if something is an S, E or FP. I love how I can enter in a food to the search bar and get an instant answer. This has made my life easy when meal prepping today for the following week. **Developer response:** So glad you are finding this tool helpful in meal prepping and menu planning! Best wishes in your THM journey! ### 5/5 — ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ *2019-08-22, version 1.4* Gave a 5 star right away. Love it, great app! Super helpful! I thought I was gonna have to check my lists several times every day, but the app makes it easier. I also greatly appreciate the quick links. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Great for beginners on THM especially. ### 5/5 — So helpful!! *2019-08-22, version 1.4* This is an awesome app especially for newbies who are just starting out on this new journey of healthy eating!! It quickly identifies what category ,S, E, FP a food is and in some cases gives you an estimated amount to fit in the proper food group. So very helpful!! Also love the quick links to the store, ezines ,podcasts etc. Thanks for a truly helpful awesome app!!💙 ### 5/5 — Just what I need! *2019-08-21* I love this app!! Thank you Pearl and Serene! I need help distinguishing fuels. This app is perfect. Does it track calories. No. Can you take a picture of your food or a food package and get caloric count (we don’t count calories!) or how much fat, carbs, sugar.....are in the food? NO! Is it going to cook your meals and feed them to you? NO! It’s a tool to assist in your food freedom. YES! I type in a food, for instance eggs, the app tells me what fuel it is, “S”. In some instances the app will tell you if a fuel is FP, E, or S by how many servings you eat of it (think light Wasa Rye). I have learned that when I eat fried eggs and 3 pieces of Wasa, I have mixed fuels. If I had my eggs and 1 piece of light rye Wasa that’s ok. I love it. Don’t get bogged down by all the information you want at your fingertips. Use this as an aid, not a ball and chain that ties you to the screen before and after every meal. Well done ladies. THANK YOU!!! 😘 **Developer response:** Oh, you totally get our purpose here! Thank you! ### 5/5 — Boom 💥 *2019-08-21, version 1.4* THM is da BOMB!! Digity 💃🏻💃🏻!! Woop woop Shaka Lacka!!! I can’t say enough AMAZING THINGS about this lifestyle plan!!! So far I have lost almost 30 pounds in 3 months! Serene and Pearl are amazing people striving to help others live a healthy, freeing lifestyle. I honestly can’t thank them enough! Keep up the awesome job!!! WONDERFUL!! Also they don’t call it a frisky for no reason. Cha cha cha 💃🏻 ### 5/5 — 5 stars for Serene and Pearl *2019-08-21, version 1.4* I love the simplicity of this app. Serene and Pearl hit the nail on the head once again. Giving us what we want l, without compromising the heart of Trim Healthy Mama. ### 5/5 — Such a Handy Tool!!! *2019-08-21, version 1.4* Whether I’m meal planning or grocery shopping and don’t have the time to check labels, I will use this all the time! ### 5/5 — Loving the new app *2019-08-21, version 1.4* Simplicity at its best, just like thm! Thankful to be able to clarify categories of food choices by my ingredients as a Trim healthy mama. I also like having all the website info in one place for the store, podcast, ezine, and membership site. Great app! ### 5/5 — THM Food Analyzer *2019-08-21, version 1.4* This is awesome!!! Now I can not only identify food’s THM categories, I can directly access all of the fabulous podcasts, the membership site (which in itself is a treasure trove), and more. Thank you, Pearl & Serene, for another tool to help ensure Trim Healthy Mama success for L I F E!!! ### 5/5 — Great app *2019-08-21, version 1.4* Simple to use, helps with understanding the plan! ### 5/5 — Wonderful and useful tool for the THM life *2019-08-21, version 1.4* Quick way to find out where a food fits in when planning a meal! Great app. ### 5/5 — Very handy! *2019-08-21, version 1.4* I think this app is great! It’s a great reference for some foods I may not be sure about. No app can do everything but this is a great tool for beginners and a good refresher for veteran THM-ers. Thanks so much THM! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Unable to get info *2020-08-18, version 1.6.0* I downloaded this app and all I can do is put an ingredient in the search bar to determine the fuel type. Is that the extent to this app? ### 1/5 — HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT. *2019-08-21* I can’t believe I’ve waited years for this. I remember when they mentioned that the app was in the works. This app is a huge let down. I was expecting something with more substance. With all the competitor plans out there with great informative apps this one falls far below the bar in comparison. I know these ladies say they don’t want us to depend too much on this or that but there are many, many of us that thrive on information. The app is another tool that should help us in deepening our understanding of the THM plan(more so than stating which fuel source chicken breast is), this is app a joke. Again, with all the competing plans out there and confusing information, they could have easily used this as a way to deepen our understanding of how the plan works. This app does nothing of the such. Such a HUGE disappointment. **Developer response:** Hi Asturner, We're so sorry to hear that the app didn't meet your expectations. We understand that it may not be what you're looking for at this time. We appreciate the feedback and will definitely keep it in mind for future updates. ### 2/5 — Will be better in time *2021-02-15, version 1.6.0* I downloaded the app and entered “cantaloupe” in the search window. Nothing came up. Will check it out again in six months or so to see if it’s improved ### 2/5 — A little too basic. *2019-09-01, version 1.4* It’s missing the grams of fats, carbs etc. Kinda useless without that. ### 3/5 — Not working properly *2022-08-18, version 1.6.0* I will use the app once to look up a food and the next time the screen is blank. I have to delete tge app and add it again. The cycle keeps continuing. I have an iPhone. ### 3/5 — Disappointed *2020-06-03* I was so excited when I discovered this app until I opened it up and saw what it was... it is ok and can be helpful for some things, but it isn’t what I really need and it could be developed into something awesome like many others have mentioned, and great ideas they have had as well that would be helpful! If you do make any upgrades to this app... I would love to be able to type in a food type or two and have it pop up recipe options and the page numbers to which books they can be found or links to the recipes. This is what I had been expecting, and it would be so very helpful! There are so many times I have not been able to plan ahead or I have a specific food type I need to use up and have a really hard time finding a recipe through the indexes... an app that could do this would be so much quicker and easier than paging through three or more books when you don’t have the time! Thank you so much for all of your time and energy of doing the research and developing products and recipes for us, Serene, Pearl and everyone else that works behind the scenes... you are all so very much appreciated! **Developer response:** We truly appreciate your feed and suggestions! We'll be sure to take them into consideration for future upgrades! ### 3/5 — Looking forward to updates! *2019-08-22* Since the app is new (thank you for doing it!), I thought I’d mention 2 things I wished for when using it today. 1) When searching “potatoes” and also “bread”, I got a “no results” return, yet it included results right below that. You could omit the “no results” there. 2) I wish there was a back arrow to get back to the search results. I wanted to view each type of bread and had to redo the search to see the list again. Thank you for the app! I’ll update this review as it’s updated and as I use it more. **Developer response:** Hi dreamwords! Thank you so much for this helpful feedback! We will definitely take it into consideration for future updates! Glad to hear the app has been useful for you! :) ### 4/5 — App not working *2022-03-30, version 1.6.0* Every time I try to open the app it just goes blank with the blue color heading on the top. Please can this be fixed I use this app often and enjoy it. ### 4/5 — Love- but wish *2020-10-29* I love this app. It’s super helpful when matching ingredients. I have been following THM for years now. The only thing I wish this app had is a food journal of sorts, this way I could simply write E for breakfast, S for lunch, and so forth. The journal would be simply so I could track my day in terms of E’s and S’s to make sure I am not mixing fuels to close to one another. Just a preference though. I know THM is not about strict rules and food tracking... so totally not that big of a deal. Overall this app is GREAT! **Developer response:** Glad you are loving our initial food analyzer app! We have more apps coming soon! ### 4/5 — Great for what it is *2019-08-21* This app is really simple and really if you have a basic understanding of food (what's fat and what's carbs) you don't need it. I think the issue is that people were expecting much more with the excitement built up 😅 So much potential for some amazing THM apps that will make following the plan much easier, but this app isn’t it, and maybe that’s the source of many disappointments. I think it would be amazing if there is an app where you can pick from different categories of THM recipes, load them on your menu plan for the week, and it automatically goes on your shopping list. THAT WOULD BE AMAZING! Most likely such an app would not be free, but that’s totally understandable Since it could replace the cook/recipe books. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Absolutely great for THM beginners *2022-03-24* This app is great for a THM beginner like me who says 35 times a day “what category does that thing fall into?!” Super nice not to have to consult the plan book every time I want a snack 👍🏼 just type in a food item or ingredient and it tells me what category it falls into, and occasionally other helpful information. Very nice Pretty sure most of the negative reviews were left by people who were expecting something totally different out of this app ### 5/5 — Perfect little app :) *2019-10-11, version 1.4.2* This is just right for when I’m in a hurry and just want to quickly check something like butternut squash before I lather it in butter and nutritional yeast. No temptation to worry over calories or anything, just the basics, which is what I’ve loved about THM for four years! ### 5/5 — Best Food App! *2019-08-29, version 1.4* I love the fact that this app literally helps me stay on plan! This is my go-to for all of my foods now!! Thank you for this amazing app!!! Super helpful for beginners and advanced THM’ers! ### 5/5 — Great app for determining fuel sources!!!!! *2019-08-26* The new THM app is an awesome help for Trim Healthy Mamas. Simply launch the app, type/tap in the food you wish to check and the type fuel pops up immediately! Much faster than pulling out a book and searching the list for it, searching online for it or posting on a FB page for an answer. (Also more accurate than searching for an answer, just sayin’). Not every food in the world is listed in the app, but honestly, if you think canned soup is a clean food source, (I mean this gently, folks)... then you need to read the book. If you think this app tracks your food or plans your meals*, well, that’s not the stated purpose of this app, so please read what it is meant to do before downrating it. (*if you need meal planning or recipe help, check out the THM Membership! I love that, too!!!!). I am so excited about this app and look forward to the apps THM has in development. EDIT: if you type in some food that isn’t in the list, there is a pop up so you can suggest it be added. Cool! **Developer response:** Hi NanCk, thanks so much for the feedback! Also, if you see something you'd like included in the app, we'd love you to submit it for consideration! It's amazing how many ingredients are out there and we want to include as many as we can! :) ### 5/5 — Incredibly helpful *2019-08-22, version 1.4* This app is a gift. Anyone who has started the Trim Healthy Mama plan knows there is a learning curve. It’s super flexible but it all depends on knowing what fuel type you are eating. This app is helpful for a newbie or intermediate mama who needs a refresher. If you have wanted to try THM or tried it and felt a bit overwhelmed, I encourage you to try the app. It’s temporary and this app can shorten the time you spend confidently learning the app. ### 5/5 — Super Helpful!! *2019-08-22* I’ve been on and off THM for some time now. I want to be fully on it and not roller coaster. This APP is awesome! It really does help you keep your info in line. Sometimes you don’t have any idea where certain foods lie on the S/E/FP spectrum & it’s just a quick search away & you get your answer. You know if you can pair it with what your eating or if you need to wait until later. It truly is a wonderful tool to have in our THM arsenal hehe **Developer response:** So glad to hear the app has been a blessing to you! ### 5/5 — Helpful tool *2019-08-22* This is a great app for quick lookup of foods, especially for newbies and when you’re suffering brain overload. This plus another app from another developer (3 hour diet) will help keep me on track. Looking forward to any other apps in development to assist in my THM Journey. I love that I can check my membership site, EZine etc all from the app. Keep up the great work 💕💕🦋🦋🦋 **Developer response:** Thrilled to hear it's been helpful for you! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2019-08-22, version 1.4* Thanks for making a very simple app to follow! ### 5/5 — Problem Solver *2019-08-22, version 1.4* Yes! A quick and easy answer to my food questions. This app gives the fuel type and additional info on the food you search. It certainly solves a problem I have regularly! ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2019-08-22, version 1.4* This is great! So easy to quickly check fuels for a newbie like me! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
