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.

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.
Horrible app horrible
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!!!!!
Needs work
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.

Use it to help improve my grocery shopping
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.

Information too generic to be useful
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.

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.

it
I would a section where you can enter your own information. database is very limited with it's items. also, the serving size should be able to put that you ate a half apple, etc, or a 1/4 cup of cashews, etc.....otherwise it would be perfect
Doesn't do what it promises
It says it helps you track your intake if vitamins and minerals, but I can't find any way of entering what I eat. A waste of money unless they correct that.
Has potential, but still has a ways to go
This app has potential, but has a ways to go. As Bliss Hollywood stated, the search feature does not work (when purchasing it, I thought that perhaps they may have been mistaken, as no one else mentioned that in their review; unfortunately, it is correct). As it is, it has limited use, but I hope to find it more useful with further updates.

Great app!
Works great. Very colorful and user friendly and gives important daily info
Helpful
As someone who doesn't know or understand much about nutrition, I found Vitamate helpful in planning a healthier shopping list. I know I'm meant to have lots of Vitamin A, B, X or whatever, and the app helped me work out what foods I liked contained those properties. It's a very simple, straight forward app at the moment but it'd be great if they expanded the search functionality so you could type in a food or ingredient and added some built-in list-making feature for shopping.

Very informative and a great help
Very clear and concise information laid out exactly how I need it. A+
Perfect for my needs
This is a great app that gives me all of the information I need. I try to stay healthy and aware of what foods I should be eating, and this does it. The visuals are very clean and crisp as well. Aesthetically pleasing.
I feel better already...!
I work in law enforcement, so days can be long and stressful. This app is really helpful in that it allows me to see which foods contain particular vitamins that will allow me to have more energy and keep me going at work.
Don't waste your $
Don't waste your money! The search engine doesn't even work. I bought this app to help me find the content on vitamin K in foods but I can't even search foods. This is a piece of crap app that I'm none to happy to have spent my money on. ī
Needs amounts
I was wrongly expecting the very basic inclusion of recommended daily amounts, and limits before levels could be deleterious. I hope an update will add this.
