Brilliant idea, just needs tweaking

Brilliant idea- lets u see how nutritionally complete your diet is. And very easy to navigate. However big let down is you cannot adjust the portion size- most foods are 1 cup!! Really annoying if u can eaten less. Also if u add something then see a more accurate food label you cannot go back and delete your foods.

Finally, the summary section could be laid out better, as this is the point of the app really. Would be good if nutrients were ticked off when u reach 100% and those still in low levels highlighted so u can easily see what u are lacking.

Hoping these problems are addressed in an update as want to keep using this app!

Still testing...

Could be very useful but it's SO annoying to use. To select a food to add to your menu, you have to scroll through hundreds of packaged ready-meal type options. It would be far, far better if you could select a sub-category to search in, e.g. Fruit, if you just want an ordinary apple. That way, I could bypass 90% of what is listed and speed up the whole process. Why baby food keeps coming up first is baffling. Very American, would benefit from a more international feel.

Needs iPhone 5 support

Needs iPhone 5 support

Great app but would love to see fiber info

Also an improvement would be to be able to adjust the serving size

A good start BUT needs work!!!

1 cup honey - that is the only serving size available. I had 2t in a cup of tea. So it's total crap if you want your vitamin totals. The food search function is painfully bad. But, it is cool to see vitamin contents of foods.
