User reviews

A great app that could use a few additions

The app is generally extremely useful, but there are a few missing/inaccurate values(futurebites BYO bread options showing 0 calories even though it’s listed as 170 on the website. There are a few more but those seem to be an issue with the vt nutrition site.)

Additionally, not being able to manually input macros and calories and having to rely on the AI/general food database is pretty confusing, as the database is useless if you’re cooking, and manually adding macros seems like a pretty easy feature to add(especially since it’s already included in the bar code scanning). Also, for the 2-3 days where barcode scanning was free, it was pretty unreliable from my experience so most of the time I had to change the macros anyway.

With these 2 fixes the app would essentially be perfect and would literally be an auto-download for anybody with a meal plan.

excellent

app has helped me easily input food from dining halls and also seems to have imported a food database from online. only problem is a few options aren’t updated in teal time such as tazon and choolah doesn’t exist in the app. also, there should be an option to subtract or show activity calories so we can get a real grasp on the exact numbers of net calories in a day. Otherwise, 5 stars!
