Nutrition Lookup - SparkPeople

Finally, a basic calorie look up app that doesn't require a login! So far it looks good, only issue is if you enter the barcode scanner by accident and try to back out, the app closes. Some content looks created by users, unclear how that occurs and how thoroughly they're vetted for accuracy.

Scanned various items in my fidge and it couldn't find it. Simple stuff like yougurt, cheese etc. Uninstalled

Useless, no grams or ounces for serving sizes

This is so helpful and informative, LOVE IT!

Much, much better...do not have to sign in...fast and efficient, easy to use.

Nice app. Wish we can add products from our market

Love being able to scan bar codes but I can't then add a found item to my nutrition tracker. And this app has foods that aren't found in the Sparkpeople database. Very frustrating.

Only food nutrition app that gave me info on raw foods. Only suggestion, give a way to save foods, like in a library, for foods i eat often. And why aren't there any settings?

Great app. Very helpful for looking up food. The only problem is that I can't get the scanner to work. Luv it otherwise

Have not used the actual app yet, and will not. As a developer myself, I pay close attention to specific issues that indicate laziness or lack of attention to security on the part of developers of any software that I used. With this application, I noticed first on their browser version of the site that there is a limit to the number of characters allowable for USERNAME. Mine is 2 characters longer than allowed by SparkPeople / SparkRecipes (not enough disk space?). I chose my backup username & moved on, but next the site also refused my PASSWORD. It said that I could only use the _ or - character in my password. I will not say what other characters I tried, or comment on the length of the password. What this does however tell me is that the developers are either too lazy to write a proper data format handling method, do not know how to write data formatting methods, do not know how to handle passwords or security in general, or some combination of all three. This being said, I cannot and will not in good conscience use software created by this company until I can be made more confident in the ability & experience of their development staff. No hard feelings or offense meant.

Helps me choose healthier groceries. Thank you.

Getting healthy

I love it butwould like more vegetables and fruit meals

I have food sensitivity to certain things and this app helps me!!! I love it! It has the food that I need to limit and the foods I really enjoy broken down I to nutrition charts! It helps me figure out what I'm eating with ease.

works. i would that you could look up additional foods and group them to get totals for a meal. Also, I do not see away to clear the search line except to backspace. --- I would pay $1 to remove all adds --- I would pay $2 to have meal totals and remove the adds. <-- I think many others may also. ::: I have to uninstall because I cannot move this to my sd card...phone mem is too low

Trying to find an app to avoid an allergen. This app seems to have no option for "no data available" for users who enter a food. Instead, they just enter 0.... giving the impression that the item does not exist in the food. A good example would be vitamin E in italian dressing. Many listed on this app say 0% vitamin E which is clearly wrong because there is oil in italian dressing, which is high in vitamin E.

The application allows to choose weight / volume unit (e.g. oz, gr, ml) and specify quantity - outstanding! Alas some items only have "serving"... What the .... is a serving?!?

Love it as is but would like to be able to compare e.g. fat content in 1 2 & 3 percent milk

I am on dialysis and I need to monitor everything I take in. Too many users adding their own version of the nutritional values instead of taking them straight from the manufacturer. Nutritional values have to wide a range for any given item. It started out looking very good for me but when I realized what was going on it all fell apart.

Has a lot of potential, but it seems to be just a copy of what's already on the food label. I need some ability to compare nutritional value of similar items, and make better choices accordingly.

Ok but would be better if it showed the trans fat in food

Don't bother downloading it.

Great app. Very helpful for looking up food. The only problem is that I can't get the scanner to work. Luv it otherwise

This is exactly what I was looking for.

Dont download if you live in South Africa. None of our foods on scanner.

This app is fantastic! Exactly what I wanted to simply look up nutritional facts for common foods. Very clear and lots of good food options to choose from.

The only problem is that I can't get the bar code to work

Doesn't work

A Rating would be better

Works great my daughter is a diabetic and this helps so much!

Anyone with kidney disease needs this, thank. you

Awesome

Great app

Love it

Why doesn't it list Vitamin K?! Anyone on blood thinners needs to know and track this, just like a diabetic needs to track carbs. You'll get 5☆ when K is added.

Just what I was looking for without all of the bloat other apps have.

I'm diabetic and use this everyday to make sure I don't go over my 30-40 carbs. But I would like to be able to put a full meal together
