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! ### 2/5 — Still testing... *2013-01-26, version 4.4* 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. ### 1/5 — Needs iPhone 5 support *2012-12-02* Needs iPhone 5 support ### 3/5 — Great app but would love to see fiber info *2012-04-11, version 4.4* Also an improvement would be to be able to adjust the serving size ### 3/5 — A good start BUT needs work!!! *2012-02-02, version 4.4* 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. ### 1/5 — Horrible app horrible *2011-12-04, version 4.4* The search engine is awful and lags a lot.. You cannot find anything.. It is the worst i have ever seen.. I thought it would be intersting to know what vitamins and minerals iam consuming but this horrible app is not worth even for free.. I recommend to stay away!!!!! ### 2/5 — Needs work *2011-11-10, version 4.4* I bought this app so I could track micronutrient intake. I can't adjust the serving size so that calculator is nearly useless. I want the app to keep up with me not vice versa. Also, the presentation of intake totals is an eye sore. The search function has to be the worst in the world. Full word matches should be on top of the list. Sometimes the results don't even match your query. ### 5/5 — Use it to help improve my grocery shopping *2011-10-26, version 4.4* There are quite a few things related to food health this app can do, but mainly use it to improve the quality of what I buy when I'm at Albertson's, Safeway, Fresh & Easy etc. Should I get Watermelon or Cantaloupe? This app will tell you by showing the amount these foods contain of various minerals, vitamins, calories etc. I saw a previous reviewer say this app doesn't have info on Omegas but it has for a couple years now. ### 1/5 — Information too generic to be useful *2010-09-10, version 0* Bases your recommended intake off of gender and age, not weight/height; So as a female between 31-50, my recommendations are based on a diet of 2250 calories per day (not even close to accurate). Entering food from the database to your "menu" for the day is time consuming, and it doesn't ask how much of the food you ate, but tells you how much of your recommended nutrients you've consumed. I was looking for something to track my vitamin supplements to correct serious deficiencies, but they can't be entered. ### 2/5 — Needs more *2010-08-19, version 0* Very barebones, withsuch lean content it should at least expand into other bodily necessities such as protein and omega 3. Feel ripped off. I also hate how the RDA values were taken away. It used to show you which food provided the largest RDA for the vitamin. ## Frequently asked questions about Vitamate ### What is Vitamate's price? Vitamate is a paid app priced at $2.99.
