FlashSnack does exactly one thing: given a photo or description of a meal or snack, logs it and saves it to Apple Health Kit. Use whatever you want to analyze your health, but don't waste time with slower food loggers that want to run the show. Log your meals in a flash! Free trial, then a low-cost monthly or annual subscription is required for continued use. Note: FlashSnack does not provide medical advice and the nutrition estimates must not be relied upon for medical decision-making. Always follow the advice of your physician or other licensed health care professionals.
