FODMAPLAB: Low FODMAP Diet App App Anmeldelser

Good app for ingredient lookup

I wanted an app to let me easily look up the FODMAP status of ingredients. I tried 9 different apps, everything I could find in the App Store that seemed relevant. I tried looking up 15 ingredients in each app. This app provides ingredient lookups through its Catalogue section. The information is good, and seems consistent with most of the other apps. The search feature is the best of any app I tried. It does a nice job with search-as-you-type, even finding substrings; for example, "berr" will find "blackberry" without you needing to hit enter. It also breaks the FODMAP information into four ratings, showing which of the four irritants is present. The official Monash University app provides more complete information on some ingredients, so I defer to it when in doubt. But this one is much easier to use. I've rated this app slightly higher than the official Monash one. Even though Monash feels more complete and authoritative, and I use it when I can afford the time, this app is easier to use... which is important when I'm standing in the grocery store poring over an ingredient list.

Confusing

So confusing I uninstalled next day. Unable to log/save. Wasted $0.99

Major error

App rates agave as safe although it's famously high in FODMAP. I have only had the app for a day but I'm wondering what else might be inaccurate.

Contradicts other info I have

Says some artificial sweeteners are ok but other sources say no. Doesnt say why or why not something is ok, for instance biscuit is green or ok. Do they mean a gluten free biscuit? Because a wheat biscuit is not low fodmap.

Unsophisticated but easy to use

Foods are easy too look up by category. You can rate them according to your experience but then app does not save even if you click on save box. Annoying since my experiences were sometimes different than recommended.

Great Start

Great laid out app. Now, get to work and have more item selections!!!

Great Design; Needs More Food

This app is very nicely designed, simple, user friendly and straight to the point. It just really needs more foods added. There are far too few. Still, this could be the best FODMAP app out there, since they all need more foods added. Devs, please add more foods! Put all the other apps to shame! You're so close!

Needs more food items

270 foods isn't enough. Otherwise it's a helpful app; and it looks like it's new so I hope it will add more food items soon.
