Fooducate - Nutrición y Dieta

I have been using the paid version of Fooducate on a daily basis since April 2024. With permissions, it can read weight and exercise from other apps and automatically adjust my daily target calories based on these, provided the weight target and weekly target loss (or maintenance or gain) is set up in my profile. The app is so simple. The automatic calculation of how many calories I can eat in real time is great! As soon as I exercise and the effort is recorded by my smart watch to my health app and read by Fooducate, I know how many calories I have “earned”, no calculations or point counting needed. Similarly, as soon as I weigh myself and the weight is recorded by my smart scale to my health app and read by Fooducate, my daily target calories are automatically adjusted. Trying to get an “A” on healthy eating also incentivizes me to do better. I have lost weight using Fooducate; it has become a key tool in my healthy transformation toolbox!

I used this app for about two weeks. I started to notice that within about 15 seconds of having the app open my phone would get really hot. I don’t know if this meant the app was unsafe malware/mining in the background or the app needs further development. Either way I uninstalled. Otherwise I enjoyed using the app. As with most it took a day or two to get the hang of it. I just wanted an app where I could hold myself accountable to my food intake. So the food ratings and average rating of the day were just bonus.

Everything is behind a paywall. Useless without paying. Not worth the cost. Basic functions available in other apps not available here. Food ratings are arbitrary and not based on true science. Use Samsung health instead.

This is app is very helpful. However, there is no way to delete recipes that are created. This is a feature that needs to be added.

Do not do the trial if you forget to cancel they will force the full year membership on you

Would be better if more features were free.

The app feels extremely dated and the database of the food they have in here is very limited I submitted many products I use that other apps calorie counter has I hope , you can do better.

I gave it another shot. This time I used Apple to create an account to avoid giving them personal information. FYI, the app is not nearly as useful as the website. I could not find anywhere to search for foods. Just stick to using the website. ORIGINAL REVIEW: Like the website, hate the app I downloaded this app because I like the website. But the app immediately began prompting me for personal information. Height, weight, age, etc. I did not fill in any of the information. I clicked on the word “skip.“ Even though I clicked on “skip,” it still filled in personal information for me that it obtained somewhere ***without my permission.*** The information was accurate and appeared to be coming from the Apple Health app even though I had ***not granted this app access to the Health app.*** I then discovered I was forced to create an account just to view nutritional information on foods. I decided to immediately stop using the app. I guess the developers felt like although they had a good thing going with their website, why not use their app to collect as much personal data as possible, even for people who have no intention of using the app to track calories.

Don’t bother, it’s not an app ready for launch. It turns off before you can enter a whole meal .

Just bought this app not long ago & immediately regret it. Just use one of the others. The app closes after EVERY. SINGLE. ENTRY. I mean, enter in 1 slice of chicken, closes out, go back in and enter 1 apple, closes out. I then sent a support ticket & they told me they weren’t going to do anything until enough others are sending in support tickets for it even while the community discussion page has MANY people complaining about the same issue. Let’s not forget, their search function is…… antiquated to be nice. Like the functionality of it hasn’t been updated in years.
