It is a good, helpful app. However the list of food products is limited. But I like the option to include pictures of the food items not included in its list. This could be extremely helpful. A suggestion would be to include possible allergens along with the nutritional information. Otherwise, it's pretty cool.

Kool that i get the immediate information. I however, measure my food in KCal rather than in KJoules. Is there a way that I can get this info? If yes, its 5 stars for me

Good concept. Long way to go before it is usable in India. "Common" junk like Maggie noodle are not in the database.

The traffic light concept is good but many products and their consumption pattern are varies from society to society. This precaution is important.
