Simple Diet Diary Data Add-on

This is a database of foods that makes it easy to enter items into Simple Diet Diary, It contains calorie counts that autofill. Like most such databases, it has a lot of items you wish weren't there and is missing some you wish were. But it's easy to modify or add new items and these appear on the autosuggest list. It's also easy to modify portions and calorie counts. This is a highly-useful -- I'd even say essential -- add on to the Simple Diet Diary app, If your main goal is counting calories, this will do the job.

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.

Isn't picked up by the main app

A really helpful tool to keep me on track. Thank you.

Not suitable for someone like me at all

Shed pounds

If you're English, doesn't list green salad, semi skimmed milk.

Seems US oriented and far too complicated/detailed. I guess what I was hoping for was a comprehensive but generic list with average calorie contents.

I recommend calorie tracking apps for my patients. I try them myself before recommendation. I plan to continue using this myself & definitely recommend to my patients and colleagues. I find more detailed diet tracking apps great but useless when the overkill complexity discourages use. This app tracks calories (and other nutrients if you choose) but does it with simple entry. Thank you for this app. Free version is fine, but consider the paid version for support of developer and future updates. Gary

As others say comes up with message its an add-on but then directs me to the app I already have installed. Tried installing I. Different order. Going to try the devs old app that came with add-on built in

I'm not sure what this does, every time I go to open it, it says I need the other app which I have then leads me to Google play store to open it, so not sure what this does but I'll give it fair rating when I can have a proper look, thanks

From other people's reviews below it seems that this provides some other kind of database, but everyone I try to open it it just tells me that it's an add-on. Doesn't seem to do anything at all that I can tell!

Wish there were more British foods, but the ability to search for calories of different foods is great!

The list is great, and a big help

Lots of options to choose from
