On iPhone 5s this guide is useless. ### 5/5 — Vitamin 101 *2013-11-29* Amazing! Lots of information. Easy to use. ### 4/5 — Live life green *2013-11-21* Vitamin 101 helps me in choosing fruits & veggies for a good balance of minerals & nutrients for my juicing. I lost 34 lbs in 30 days, just juicing with the guidance of this app. I'm always recommending this app to friends ### 5/5 — Absolutely Awesome *2013-11-17, version 2.4* Best update ever. It's got everything. ### 5/5 — Nutrition info conveniently collated. *2013-11-11* Vitamins101 is such a great oracle of information and fitting companion to all your recipe books. The information contained within is meticulously ordered and carefully arranged to allow for a very high level of convenience. The latest round of features allow for easy comparison between foods. The developer is highly responsive to feature requests. ### 5/5 — Super app, very useful. *2013-10-11* Very pleasant and informative to use. The developer is very responsive. Top marks. ### 5/5 — Ami *2013-02-12* Great:) ### 5/5 — Amazing !! *2013-02-11* It is well made. ### 5/5 — Healthyeater *2013-02-09* Great app!! ### 5/5 — Absolutely brriliant *2013-01-07* Is a must have app for anyone who like to eat healthy food... wealth of information...:-) Thank you.. ### 5/5 — Quality! *2013-01-07* It does what it pledges and promises. Easy simple interface. Full of information and a great asset for anyone interested in really knowing and understanding what we put in our bodies. ### 4/5 — RAS *2012-12-27* Bonne application... Seul regret : elle n'est pas en français ! ### 5/5 — Good *2012-12-21, version 1.9* Information is awaome ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2022-11-16* Warning to all those who think this looks good. This app takes FOREVER to download and then it doesn’t work. Just a waste of time and money ### 1/5 — Pretty useless *2016-09-11* This app is a waste of money. I was hoping to be able to at least say "I ate xx ounces of yy food" and then get RDA %. It didn't even give RDA! And the graphs are are scaled uniformly, who cares if I got 1mg of copper and 3mg of calcium.... You want to know what you're getting relative to your body's needs. This app is a borderline scam. ### 1/5 — SAVE YOUR $1.99! *2015-01-04* Terrible app! Save your money! Wish I could get mine back! The most generic food nutritional forum you can find for free online. No identification of brands and or types of food or drink. Example, syrup. Do you think all of the brands and types of this product have the same nutritional statistics? Aunt Jamia vs pure maple syrup. How about beer? It gives nutritional facts on light and regular beer....really that's it? Do you think there might be a few types of beer or do they only all have the same nutritional statistics as the 2 examples shown? ### 2/5 — It's ok for general overview *2015-10-23* The information provided by this app is really outdated. Particularly information concerning fats and cholesterol. The app states that certain oils such as canola are good for you. This is incorrect, in addition, the information about vitamin A toxicity and vitamin deficiencies are incorrect. The information in this app is mainstream science from at least 50 years ago. Needs updating. ### 2/5 — Disappointed with the little info *2012-05-23* I was disappointed in the generic facts of each food. I was hoping for more of the nutritional facts as well as the benefits, for example, coconut oil has a LOT of benefits but unless you do a separate search, you wouldn't find that here. ### 3/5 — Good quick reference *2016-12-21* I know little about nutrition and supplements. There are always differing and changing opinions about what's good or bad for our health. Even the science behind healthy dieting flip-flops. This app is a good simple standard to get me started. I can choose my combinations and consult with professionals. Wish they would update to expand the lists. ### 3/5 — Eh *2015-01-03* I thought it tracked food I eat... It's just info that I can find on the Internet... Eh Save your $1.99 ### 3/5 — Looks great *2011-05-17* Looks great, easy to use, the only criticism I have is, how can we trust the figures, when the sources aren't listed? ### 3/5 — Good start, handy reference *2010-10-20* This is a good start but I hope you will be adding more info, such as types of fat in different foods, which foods compliment each other for absorption, etc. Right now it is pretty much a glorified chart, but there is a lot of good information in there. I think it will be a handy reference. I look forward to future updates. ### 4/5 — Carb List *2022-03-03* I wish it had a low carb list. Least to most carbs. Thank you! Kathi ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fantastic Upgrade *2026-10-17* What a fantastic upgrade to this program, I’ve been waiting a long time for the author to rewrite an upgrade the app. This has so much information it’s worth the download and to look into what you’re missing. I look forward to checking this app out over the next few weeks and hopefully learn a lot that I don’t know about. I hope the developer will keep this app updated in the future going forward. ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-07-16* This is a great app, so much info, thanks🙂 ### 5/5 — Should have opened sooner *2023-08-06* I have finally found an app that gives me the information I want and need and it works great with my health kit app thank you so very much for making and updating this app I can’t express how much it means to me I have digestive problems and now I can a handle on it and help my self again thank you thank you so much ### 5/5 — One of the best apps ever *2022-02-27* This app is amazing, not only is it easy to use but every person should have it on their phone. It now links with your health app so you can add diet amounts in and contains all the vitamin/nutritional information including Calories for just about every food out there. So impressed. Thank you to the developer for this app - 6 years and counting🙌🏼 ### 5/5 — Perfect for fitness & educating yourself *2020-08-29, version 4.3.1* I bought this back in 2013. I always re download it when I’m googling stuff about food or starting a new diet. It good for knowing what nutrients what foods have in dosages. Good for when starting new types of diets so you can know what foods your allowed to eat to replenish what nutrients your low on or need . I also love reading about the health benefits of nutrients n I come on here see what foods have it. I just downloaded it again today 8-29-2020 I’m doing keto and I needed to know what haves electrolytes and b vitamins . Helped a lot! Also how much protein I’m consuming by the oz or cup. Hopefully they never turn this app offline . ### 5/5 — This app has been updated and is wonderful! *2016-06-07* The updates to this app have taken it from helpful to valuable! Before, the searchable database was incomplete and not scalable. Now there is the ability to search quantity, recommended serving information according to age, gender pregnancy etc. The only constructive criticism I have is regarding fonts and table size. The font isn't easy to read on a mobile device screen. I like the font, but in another type of platform. A clear crisp font, such as Times New Roman is easy to read. The table for the info guide should be larger, or able to fit to full screen when the phone or tablet is in landscape orientation. Currently, the info screen is something I need to bypass because it's too small to read, even if I put a pair of reading glasses over my new prescription glasses. :). Over all a great improvement to the original app! ### 5/5 — Vitamin 101 *2015-08-25* Is perfect 100%, & I appreciate your great help! ### 5/5 — Amazing and Helpful *2015-01-06* Wow really easy to use. The food items are organized in different categories, so just select one and then the products. The best thing is beautiful pictures and description of the food. I wanted to try new foods and eat healthy as a New Years resolution. Helps me perfectly! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2014-09-16* This app is complete and flawless!!! Great information presented very easily yet with great analysis tools. I truly find it helpful whenever I feel to go off diet as much as I do when I am on a diet - amazing educational tool for a long term results to live healthy. ### 5/5 — Simple and Useful! *2014-01-30* So I work a lot but I am also trying to get my kinesiology degree! This app is perfect for anybody interested in taking care of their body, dieting, bulking, or planning to become a nutritionist!
