2024-11-25 | Denise Koehler | I downloaded the diary data add-on but not sure how to access it. UPDATE: Thanks Martin for quick response. App is great for my needs. | |
2024-07-12 | Robin Pollard | great app. it does what it needs to and is easy to use. | |
2023-09-19 | Rebecca Armstrong | I downloaded this to go with the app, and I started experiencing the issues a few on the main app reviews had stated (items disappearing, app freezing, etc). Mostly wanted to put this here in case it was helpful to the developer. I just downloaded the app and I'm already in love with it. Nice, simple, and purchasing the extra features doesn't require a monthly sub. Keep up the good work! | |
2020-08-29 | John Sherwin | Brilliantly successful 5:2 diet strategy -Has upper (5:), lower (:2) limit lines and 30 day averaging (orange) line -Allows making a boosted weight graph (as added Nutrient) for tracking weight loss to a goal (True - Goal) graph -Weight minus Goal gives large changes in graph bars -It turns out there is a FOUR DAY LAG between eating and weight gain (or loss) -My (5:) is 1500 Calories, my (:2) is 600 Cal my average 1260 Cal and LOSS is ½ kg a week -☆- Use NO sugar, flour product or white starch | |
2019-03-20 | A Google user | It's helpful for basic foods like rice and fruit but most branded foods on the database are American. | |
2019-02-26 | A Google user | Very incomplete. | |
2018-12-10 | A Google user | I am having problem getting it to connect to the app | |
2018-07-05 | A Google user | Fantastic Martin, thank you for adding this. My only suggestion would be to make it more obvious that it exists. I could have used this so long ago but I just now realized that it exists! | |
2017-08-04 | A Google user | My main app does not seem to recognize its presence. EDIT after reply from the developer: The search button does invoke the plug-in. Upgraded to three stars to reflect my neutral opinion (so far) on the usefulness of the data itself. I installed the main app and the plug-in at the same time, and I just assumed the search button was a generic search of my entered data (which, in retrospect, would be duplicative, given the behavior of the name field). The use of a generic search icon made the plug-in TOO unobtrusive, and it was not obvious to me that the two were connected, though it makes sense after you point it out. Perhaps I failed to RTFM somewhere along the way. :) I have not tested the content of the plug-in to determine its usefulness for my situation. | |
2017-07-25 | A Google user | Not suitable for someone like me at all |
