What's New in Validus Health

v1.13.0

October 17, 2026

What's new in v1.13.0: See how close you are to each nutrient target, and add products whose nutrition facts are missing. What's new: - Key nutrients on Today show the amount you've had next to your target, such as 12 / 25 g. - Today's vitamin and mineral tables now include biotin, pantothenic acid, iodine, chromium, molybdenum and chloride. - Small amounts show their real value, so 0.04 mg no longer reads 0 mg. - When a product has no nutrition facts yet, Add Food asks before adding it. You can add a photo of its label or add it anyway. - When you scan a product we don't have yet in Add Food, you can add its label photos right from that row. It's ready to add once it's scored. - After a label photo, you return to Add Food with your plate as you left it. - The ingredients list shows allergen statements, such as "Contains: Milk, Soy", as notes below the ingredients. - For Plus and PRO members, ingredient analysis lists an ingredient's own ingredients under it with the full breakdown. Fixes: - Long product names in Add Food's Barcode tab wrap instead of getting cut off. - Clearer messages in the Manual tab when a food can't be added to your plate. - Other stability and accessibility fixes.

User reviews

Highly recommended

Can’t get enough of the app. Once MealIQ was added, it’s truly unrivaled. No other app examines ingredient level details while also evaluating the meal as a whole.

Game Changer in Healthy Meal Planning

Validus is a game changer. It is easy to use and encourages smarter, better choices. It allows you to create healthy meals that you can edit until perfect and save for later use. Healthy meal planning is made easy and always within reach.

Every morning starts with a smarter recap and one specific food focus. Nutrient targets are tailored to the user’s personal goal. You can scan any product and instantly see a 0–100 score. Meals (and days) also get a 0–100 score, with a suggestion containing a better option or addition and why it matters. Everything on the plate is blended into a unique score, then it suggests research-backed pairings.

You can edit and save the meals that work.
Validus is a thoughtful, easy-to-use, and encouraging food tracking app that can change your life.
