I really like this app and use it daily. I decided on three stars because there are things I would improve. First, this is GREAT for tracking my food exchanges and one of the few apps that lets you set your daily limit and track how you did. What I'd change: 1.) Visually, it's cluttered so it's confusing 2.) On the "Past" page it could be more obvious where it's over or under, perhaps by color coding it. (BONUS: charts are really helpful, so charting how I did would help me see patterns in my food choices)
