Foodiet 4+

Useless App So Far Harness App So.

Will receive my device tomorrow. I have downloaded the app to my iPhone to set it up before hand. I can't complete the sign up process, because there's no method to continue after selecting my region. Hence, the app will be useless in accessing other features. Also, when I went to the website, the links would not open bee next screen interface. The app and website have been poorly developed. Please fix it.

Hi, you can use the Nufit app. Because of the Foodiet app, we restrict the use of this feature in some countries. Apple Health will pop up the authorization option when it first adds food

Foodiet app (why scanned codes not showing nutrient info)

I’ve tried to use it several times to scan items for calories/nutrition, & it says it can’t find info— but I just discovered that the apps I was scanning when I experiment & scan them with my camera, they don’t give nutrition info either as often it only leads to the website of the product, not to any nutrient/calorie info. I get it now, the scanner works fine in this app, but the scan codes on the products DO NOT always give nutrient info but instead feed a website addy, therefore the app doesn’t get info. Not something to blame on Nufit (out of its control). However, it would behoove Nufit to write a simple instruction manual and post on its website, with photos, circled in red items and explanations of how to do various simple things, how to get where, how to edit boo boos, how to search for a food. The app just is not very intuitive to use and I’ve worked with computers and new programs for years intuitively. It was a mystery how to get to where to merely input the food to search for. This app is a mystery with no instruction manual, so NUFIT, PLEASE (with sugar on it) put together an instruction manual ON your website and leave a website addy here. I’ll be happy to read & suggest edits. I bet you’ll get some great reviews on this app then. It seems like it is a very helpful & excellent app but the learning curve is frustrating via experimenting.

Don’t Waste Your Time On This App

First, this app does work with the Arboleaf food scale. No real complaints about that function. My issue is using this app to track your eating. Almost all the foods I searched by UPC/Barcode were not found. Foods I searched in the database by description almost always had incorrect nutritional information. Because of this my only option was to enter all my food manually and save to My Favorites. This was a bit annoying, but once entered, I could just recall the next time I ate that food. The first thing I don’t like about My Favorites is the items are displayed in chronological order. It would be nice to list in alphabetical order. Once I had over 20 items I could no longer find the first items I entered. Basically, I found a bug in the My Favorites display. You can only see the last 20 entries, then it repeats entries 11-20 indefinitely. I emailed the details to the developers and never got a response. Crap app, crap support. Save yourself hours of frustration and wasted time. Use a different app.
