Nutrition Coach: Food tracker 4+

Food tracking

First I love the layout of the app, the design is so easy to learn and use! I've been using the app for about three days now and it is missing one key feature for me.... the app does not allow you to enter in your own calories/add a meal if they do not have it as their options. (As of right now, one of my days is missing 420 calories) I saw other reviews that stated they were upset their food option was not in there but instead of being upset that not every option is in there maybe have a way to just have a general button to add your own meal and what the calories are going to be. Example: I may go out to eat one night and splurge but you may not have that restaurant in there... maybe it is just a restaurant in my neighborhood.
This is just an idea but honestly, with how well your app is easy to use I would add that as your key feature. I downloaded other apps to see what they have and one has that feature but not the scan feature. I just think this would allow your app to be different.

Love the app and concept, but variety need work

Yeah… its a lovely app way better than any other ones I’ve tried and used. However the variety of food and meals is really low and limited, there’s even American dishes I can’t find. This app is great in every other concept except that. If a user can’t find the exact meal on the search, they would have to just go with the closes one there is which obviously won’t be accurate to what they actually consumed. I’m Dominican so many of the meals I eat are Hispanic, I don’t feel like I’m putting in anything accurately because there sometime isn’t an equivalent of my dish to an American one and never the exact dish I’m eating it just generalizes it as Spanish rice or Mexican rice. There many different types of “Mexican” or “Spanish” rice they can’t all just fall into one simple category. If it’s possible please work on the variety of the meals search or perhaps put in a feature where we can input what the meal we eat is consist of so it generate a dish on its own, if that those happen maybe a new section on the app can be developed where one can save the meals they ate in case they make/eat it again.

Hello and thank you for your review! As you mention, food variety is a pain point but we are working on it to provide more recipes matching more eating habits. Hopefully, we'll have a chimi burger soon! And for your feature suggestion, that's a great insight and we'll see if we can work on this soon

Needs sodium tracker

The app is free to use as long as you do not accidentally sign up for the free 3 day trial and then get charged after that. The app setup is easy but you do have to be careful on the last step when it makes it seem like the only option is to sign up for the free trial. The main reason I started using this app was to look up each item I was eating and track my sodium. The main screen that shows the daily budget only displays your daily intake of calories, carbs, protein and fat. Your individual meals track your sodium and you must go into each meal and add up your sodium manually to get your daily intake. I do love that it was able to find the actual items I was eating down to the specific brand and variation. I matched each result to the label of the item and it was spot on. Just want the option to swap out what is displayed on the daily budget. Would be nice feature for those with high blood pressure.
