Low GI Diet Tracker - glycemic index & load counter with search App Reviews

Great app. Helps me keep my IR in check. Only wish they had foods by brand.

I regretted this app almost instantly. Its clunky and while it will let you add your own foods, it wont calculate the GI for you. I want an app for my convenience and this isnt one that is for someone wanting an easy and quick way of tracking.

While not all foods are included, I have confidence they will be added. This app is helping me stay focused and I now have a better understanding of how foods effect my blood sugar.

I have significant medical reasons why I have to track my GI/GL rates and this app is the best GI/GL tracker Ive found. However, I would like to see it evolve into something more intuitive with some of the abilities available in MyFitnessPal. Such as: barcode scanning and being able to change a logged food item without having to delete it. Im sure their database is too small to accommodate something like that at this point, but I hope it will grow into it.

I thought by getting this app it would help me with my glycemic index and load. Well I have to say that myfitness pal and jawbone both are much more updated on food you can search for, and they are free. They just dont calculate GI & GL. I searched for the food I ate today and only found 2 things. Wish my fitness pal and/or jawbone calculated everything.

Im only 12, so this is an easy way to track my food because I get busy. My friends have so much fun putting in foods and seeing the results. Its nice because the app explains the concept of GI and isnt too complicated. It helps you loose weight and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

This app lacks so many foods and is sooo limited and time consuming.great for just a look to see GI of a food IF ITS EVEN IN THEIR DATABASE..but as for the rest ...very lacking.It doesnt even let you know where a healthy GL should be. but then none of th GI aps are very good so far.My Fitness Pal is the best food tracker.Wish it incorporated GI also.:(

This app is pretty good in that it does have several foods to choose from in every category. However, I dont see where you can create a custom food if its not included on their list. Some food descriptions are clunky and too wordy making it slow to find foods because of the way things are described. And this is my fault because I didnt read the app description very well apparently, but what food app now does not have a label scan feature? I wish I had realized this before paying so much for the app. So its okay but not fabulous. Be prepared for having a good idea what the GI is for the foods you eat but it feels more like an estimate than a precise tool. My rating is Meh.

Looking for quinoa information, Im sure not only me as this is a food that has grown in popularity.

Tried to place my daily foods here and cant find most of what I eat. Hummus is one of them. I also wished they had a scanner option to scan the food in. Disappointed.

I am a body builder not a dietetic, but I love using this app for learning what foods will raise my blood sugar, so I can avoid them.

If the food database includes data created by users, there is a big problem. Food data created by users makes GI an optional field. If you leave this field blank, it registers as a GI of zero. I created a food for Thomas original nooks and crannies English muffin using the available nutritional data. I didnt know the GI or GI Load so left it blank. Using this as part of my meal it shows a GI of zero. If I choose a generic English muffin it shows GI of 77. Big difference!

This is an excellent app. Sure, the food dictionary could be larger, but not a big deal.

If You are serious about watching your sugar intake or if you are a borderline diabetic,this app will keep you on track. Overtime youll become very familiar with certain food groups and recognize how your eating habits will affect your sugar intake. Its like having someone looking over your shoulder to keep you in line and true to your gos. al

My second review. I changed to 5 stars. I have the group of apps but I like this for my DH. He needs to get his AC1 down and this is so simple. I would like u to add some things. Like being able to make corrections without deleted the item that needs correcting. U have put so much in carb manager Id like some of those things in this app.

I cannot believe they charge for this. The scrolling search is ridiculous and not in any order that makes sense. I scroll up and down several times because I never know if the item could possibly be randomly listed. How can MyFitnessPal maintain such a large data base of foods for free yet this app that was developed years ago doesnt and charges for it? Im not even sure if the formula for glycemic load is correct because according to the explanation, they divide the glycemic index by serving size times 100 and that is not correct; its supposed to be GI / net carbs x 100. Not sure if they have a bad technical writer or if its really being done wrong. I havent bothered to even check because this app is a big disappointment and after having it one day, I know I wont be using it. I wish I could get a refund and advise you not to fall for this app.

The very first two foods I searched for were not in the database. They werent anything particularly weird, just hummus and falafel. This app might be a waste of money if you eat anything besides bread, potatoes, or apples. I would give it zero stars if I could.

Honestly how could anyone give this five stars? It takes forever to find and track food and the data base is limited. Super disappointing!

I purchased this about a week ago and I am somewhat disappointed. The database has problems as its put in by individuals who leave out valid information thats producing erroneous results. Therefor they cannot be relied upon. Also there is no way to print a report. Also there is no way to print a report. And sadly you cannot save a days worth of meals that you may repeat easily by copy and paste. As a result you must type in each and every day even if its the same item. Lastly I have written to the developer with some concerns three days ago and still have not got a response.

AWESOME app!! I am super pleased. To me the most important things to watch in my food consumption are SWEETS and calories, and this app makes it easy to track them. I love the fact that you can see the color-coded AND numerical GI of all the related foods during the search, which makes it easy to see which are better choices. This app is going to make me healthier!! Thank you!!!
