Fooducate: Nutrition Coach for Positive User Reviews
✓ FantasticI love this app. I have no experience with earlier versions. It is quite the handy device as long as the nutritional information is correct and as long as it is not “corrupted” by commercialism. I would hate to think that producers could rate their product higher. But there is no evidence of that so it is fantastic!! If I had to make one change it would be store specific. For example if I am in a Kroger looking at Kroger brand peanuts then the list that offers a healthier alternative shouldn’t list a Target or Walmart product first. Not saying they shouldn’t be listed just not first. Heck, I am in Kroger why do I care what Target has? Great app..Version: 6.62
✓ Great app!Useful, neat and organized.Version: 4.42
✓ Suggestion - UnlikingThis app works quite well for tracking one's nutritional intake. I really appreciate the ability to view better alternatives to certain foods. However, one slight annoyance I have is with the liking system. If you accidentally like an item, you can't "unlike" it, you can only dislike it, which does take it off your "list" but it brings the average of the product down. This is important for situations in which one hasn't tried the product but has given accidental feedback through tapping a heart. I would appreciate if an implement could be made in which a user can simply tap the heart again, and the like would go away. Otherwise, I have no qualms with this app and use it daily..Version: 6.20
✓ Con and prosIm using upgraded PRO version. PROs: I switched to this app from My Fitness Pal only because they have a feature of different Diets such as PCOS (my case), Diabetic , Low Carb and etc. so I’m very happy to be able to check for pcos compliance food. I’m exited for new medical conditions to be added in this app ! (For example thyroid disease diet) -Also this app is great at showing you red flags of the food!! (Usage of artificial sweetener, hydrogenate oils, glycerol and other nasty stuff that MyFitnessPal Can’t see) So I found out many of my favorite food is contained dangerous stuff, hidden behind innocent words in ingredients. Amazing! Cons: 1)Scanner doesn’t work! ( most of the time. ) MyFitnessPal is scanning fast within a seconds and find your food immediately - Fooducate can’t do it, you will be inputting all food yourself and will waste a lot of time doing this. 2) Database is very VERY poor! MyFitnessPal has almost all food you can ever imagine in their database , in Fooducate you will have to “create a new food” each time you add it. Bottom line: regarding all cons I purchased PRO version of Fooducate, because it’s contributing more to my health and PCOS condition. But it would be nice if they could fix their scanner and update their database with more food (or just ask MyFitness Pal to share their amazing database).Version: 6.41
✓ This app changed my lifeFor years, I had all the intentions of buying and eating healthy food - but I was mislead by the “healthy” brands. When I realized that you need to check the labels and read ingredients - I was frustrated that it takes long time and learning (eg, more than 20 names to sugars are used just to hide the fact that a product contains lots of it 🙁). With Fooducate, I just scan the label and get healthy scores, and tips. It also offers alternative product which is similar but more healthy. For example, it helped me replace all the junk heavy sugar cornflakes, with low sugar alternative - and oatmeals. The main feature of the app is scan food. You can also personalize recommendations, based on your diet goals. Using this app was the biggest and easiest improvement in my health habits....Version: 5.16
✓ A very useful toolI have struggled for years to lose weight. Sometimes successfully, other times, not so much. I have found Fooducate to be a much more useful tool than others I have tried. The thing is, its on me to actually enter in the food I’ve eaten and this app makes it very easy to do so. I also love how it figures out the calories I need to reach my goals. The grades for food are extremely helpful when at the supermarket trying to determine what I should or should not buy. Lastly, I like that it gives me alternatives to the “bad” foods. That way I can make up my mind if I want an apple or a highly processed bar of some kind that might be labeled as healthy but in reality is not..Version: 6.48
✓ Great AppThis is a great app for really understanding what you are putting into your body. I love that it also gives you healthier alternatives to replace unhealthy foods with. It’s so easy to scan the barcode of the food you want to know more about and instantly you can see the grade of the food and why it received the grade it did. There are so many hidden potential dangers in our foods today. If your scanned item isn’t in their system you can have them add it by submitting some data to the makers of the app and they will return with your item added and graded. Fantastic app! It makes transitioning to healthier eating seem more attainable by providing knowledge and makes it fun because it’s interactive..Version: 5.04
✓ Food EducateThis is very interesting. It is great for encouragement & sharing ideas on what works & what does not work. I'm really enjoying this app..Version: 4.50
✓ Just joinedSo far so good...looks doable.Version: 6.62
✓ A well thought out appFooducate uses a “traffic light” system of food ranking. Green is good with grades within that like A-, etc. However, when I type in “black coffee” it showed me that all black coffee was a “D” grade (red), but, Folgers coffee was an A- (green). Come on. Really?!.Version: 5.28
✓ Loved this. Easy!I loved this app. Worked great. Set out to lose 17 after Menopause #’s in September and back to my normal weight (112)in three months. Ate all my normal food veg and fruit and healthy snacks( chocolate and white wine in small portions)so I wasn’t denied anything. I’m a “Clean” , Fresh food eater, GF, nitrate ,soy and red meat free for decades and enjoyed seeing my average A- rating daily. I eat a ton of food daily , never hungry,and even got through a Birthday, Thanksgiving and Christmas with flying colors. Bought an Air fryer to enjoy healthy fresh air fried veg. And the clock they added recently helps so if you don’t have time to record immediately, you can list all later .Now it’s great. Now I’m just trying to NOT lose more weight. If you’re a tad OCD , this will work, if you cheat… you’re only cheating yourself. This makes you aware of the quality and calorie(or carb). Lose the junk, sugar and fats. You can still have quality treats ..Version: 7.14
✓ Great way to set goals and stay on trackI use Fooducate when I need to get on track and start budgeting my food intake. I have a tendency to start eating more over time. When I find the scale is creeping up I use it as a food diary and it gets me back to eating properly. I did Weight Watchers years ago and found the “tracking “ useful to become more aware of what I’m eating and make changes. Fooducate is really handy for that. And it lets you input your weight and weight loss goals and then calculates your food intake you need to achieve that. It gives you a lot of flexibility to decide how long you’d like to take. It also grades your food choices. I was surprised to find that Samoa Girl Scout cookies have trans fats. Tasty but not worth it..Version: 6.12
✓ Amazing app for nutritional contentI am so in love with this app! I am studying to be a certified holistic nutritionist and came across this app while I was writing a paper for one of my nutrition courses. If you want to know what ingredients are in your food that you buy from the grocery store and want to find out the nutritional content and more, in addition to diet tracking and more, this is the app for you. I use the app mainly for nutritional purposes to see what’s REALLY in the food I buy. This app also educates you on what certain Ingredients mean. This is literally my favorite app and I recommend to anyone who is nutrition conscious. I have changed my eating habits from the information I learned via this app and of course nutrition courses..Version: 7.2
✓ Works great in Canada!Love this app, I use it all the time when I’m grocery shopping to make sure I’m using the healthiest products for me and my family. Some previous reviews said it doesn’t work great in Canada but that must’ve been a long time ago because almost every single product I scan is in their database! Highly recommend!.Version: 7.13
✓ Happy with the appI like that this app allows me to easily track my food intake, which is super helpful when trying to lose weight. I don't necessarily count calories, but instead prefer to eat a moderate amount of whole foods that include a lot of healthy fats. The app holds me accountable so that I don't indulge too much in unhealthy snacks that slowly creep up around my waist line. I make most of my own food so I am happy that they have the "user added" option. The ability to enter in my mood is a great feature as well. Just the act of recording moments of boredom, anger and even my sleep patterns help me to keep my emotions in check, as well as provide a resource for me to review too see if any of my eating habits change my sleep quality or contribute to mood swings. Thanks for the easy to use health tracker!.Version: 5.02
✓ Diet follow-upA very good program. It tracks all you have eaten, quality of intake, calories and % of fat, protein, carbs. All that from a very wide library of food options. Very helpfull to keep you on the right track..Version: 5.30
✓ CrashingIt crashes. a lott..Version: 4.98
✓ Can’t wait for a companion Mac app!I’m a nutritionally illiterate 40-year-old boy with terrible eating habits. I like everything I’m not supposed to eat, and I feel sometimes like I hate all healthy options. I was overjoyed to discover that this app existed — and links with Apple Health — to give me much needed insight and feedback into my eating habits so I can make some adjustments to my diet. This app’s interface is clean and mostly intuitive immediately upon first use this morning, and it’s gotten easier and I’ve discovered further features easily through the day. Unfortuantely, it lacks a companion Mac app; working on entering new recipes would be a lot easier on the larger Mac screen rather than being hemmed into the dimensions of my iPhone. I’d also like it see deeper and richer integration with Noom: so far, I have seen that Fooducate will write calorie data into Noom, but it doesn’t provide rich enough information that Noom can rank the food into their green, yellow, and orange categories to help me keep more careful track of my Noom goals. Those two gripes, however, are small compared to the invaluable service I feel it offers me as I’m trying to make the adjustments I’m trying to make. If you’re similarly clueless about nutrition and have little patience for learning more on your own, let this app do the work for you. What a bargain the premium features are!.Version: 7.7
✓ Best decision I’ve ever made!!I have been eating foods and wondering what’s inside them each day and have yet to find an app that does that and more. So when I stumbled open this I felt amazing! The app was well organized and as a played around with it I enjoyed the fact that I could scan foods in store to find out if they are healthy or not and why! This app taught me a lot about harmful things in Our everyday food and how to save money and be healthy! I especially like the tracker which is the first one I have ever gotten that works and preforms amazingly without having any charge. If you are looking to know what’s in your food and how to track and improve your health download fooducate (lol I sound like a ad) this app is awesome!!.Version: 6.51
✓ Not bad for free!I like the app. However, it seems very few of my food items are listed. It takes quite a while to enter all this in by hand. However, my diet doesn’t vary by that much -only by how much and what time of day I consume it. On the other hand, you get what you pay for and this is no exception. It is not possible to advance to the next day without signing up for a premium account. $3.33 a month seemed excessive to me for what I was getting. The program would only be worth about two dollars a month to me. I don’t use it for anything more than counting calories and I eat pretty much the same food every day..Version: 5.14
✓ Lost 7 lbs in one weekI know weight loss is not only reducing calories it also requires the right mindset to be successful. This app has helped be become more aware of what I’m eating and the amount of macros I am consuming on a daily basis. I’m 55 years old and have tried most “diet” plans over the years and spent who knows how much money in the quest to lose weight. This app has them all beat. It’s easy to use, it does take a little extra time to enter your food choices but once you’ve done it a few times it gets easier. It’s a quick easy reference for food choices and it provides alternatives to help you make better choices. I am a nurse practitioner and see patients with diabetes, hypertension, fatty liver disease etc all day long. I’ve been recommending this app to my patients because it is so good. Becoming more mindful of what you are consuming and knowing what better choices are available to you is half the battle. This app is definitely a great tool to help on your quest to become healthy and to lose weight!.Version: 6.12
✓ Love it!A huge help for keeping track of food / water / exercise !.Version: 5.04
✓ I LOST 7 POUNDS IN ONE WEEK!!This app has helped a-lot, it forces me to be aware of everything i put in my mouth liquid or solid. The barcode part helps me a-lot when i want to log food quickly and efficiently and the community on this app has helped me a ton with weight loss questions and support. When you start the app it will give you a diet assessment of everything you have ate in 48 hours i believe and it tells you everything! Carbs, fats, proteins, exercise, sleep anything you can think of. Its the only fitness app i use a-lot. I used to be 180 pounds now I'm 178 and my goal is to lose 35 pounds. I recommend this app for anyone who is trying to lose weight..Version: 6.30
✓ Great for quality-based eatingI have bad mindsets around counting calories, like getting obsessed with numbers and binging out. The main focus of Fooducate is to help you eat better. The calorie tracker has the number of calories left for the day, but the “progress wheel” only goes about 3/4 around. So, if I eat a little more or a little less, it doesn’t look like a punishment. I love the focus on grading different foods. It’s really helped me make more informed decisions about what I buy. I also like how you can see the grades of the food you’ve eaten on the main page. If I notice I’ve had a lot of processed or low grade foods, it’s a great reminder to balance it out with something healthy. My one qualm? Recipes don’t get grades too. I’d love to see the average score based on the ingredients I have in a recipe. The only workaround with this is to add the items and make it a meal. You can’t add meals ahead of time or break them into serving sizes. So if I’m making a big batch of something, I need to manually calculate the portion of each individual ingredient if I want to see the grade. My Fitness Pal does something similar already for free, but Fooducate is the overall stronger app in my opinion. Would change this to 5 stars with the addition of this feature..Version: 6.90
✓ It’s Better but could be moreIt’s okay, as I said in the title. It *works*, but not perfectly or smoothly. For example, I’d enjoy a manual calorie burn input for external exercise trackers, instead of being forced to find something similar to what I did, and then trying to make a match with searching through the minutes and hours. Oh, and also being able to define a date as well as a time for exercises and meals would be nice. Also, the ability to use the “flexible measurement system” where you can manually type in any amount of grams for recipes. The ability to also remove old recipes might be nice. I might start editing old discarded recipes into new ones entirely otherwise..Version: 6.58
✓ Love itI love this app, it seems to be fairly new in Canada because everything I scan is not showing. It's okay though, I don't mind. This is a great way to help stay on track with healthy eating..Version: 4.82
✓ Great AdviceNice app that is incredibly helpful. There is a lot of available resources and is user friendly.Version: 6.62
✓ Best app for keeping trackI’ve used this app off and on for several years now. The best app for counting calories and checking the value of ingredients in the foods you buy. I myself count calories and like to know what is really in certain sauces or prepared foods I eat. I love the scan barcode feature and the details you can read about the ingredients in the prepared things you buy. Hands down best app for staying healthy. I have tried others and always rely on this one for all of my info to a healthy lifestyle. It does so much more than even mentioned, and all within the free options of the app. Pretty stoked after 4+ years of using this app these features are still free..Version: 6.82
✓ Fooducate is an app I love because it improves the health of the people I care about.I got in the know about Fooducate. I told all my friends and family members to download it. A few days later my mom said I put her on a diet and that she is eating more healthy. That's when I decided to download the app too and let me tell you: Fooducate is an app that I love because it improves the health of the people that I care about. I'll help the Fooducate app out by sending products their team hasn't posted info about yet. You are excused to leave the Fooducate app page on the app store only if you are a certified healthatrician. Download Fooducate. Do it for your health! And tell all the people in your circle about it and make everyone healthy! Thank you, Fooducate team, for making more people healthy! 🌟.Version: 5.30
✓ Very underratedI think I found this app before The Most Popular fitness tracker gained so much traction, and tbh this app is still superior. The UI is so easy for me to navigate, it’s affordable, and the database of food has grown so much. I also love the long list of different types of exercise, and even though estimating calories burned is not an exact science, I appreciate any ballpark number of extra calories that I need to eat so I don’t hurt myself. Seriously, I tried these other, more talked about apps, and I just don’t want to quit this one. It’s not freaky and aggressive in its wording about sticking to diets and militant exercise and cult-like branded phrasing, and the orange, yellow, and earth tone colors are more pleasant. I also love that it gives you a flexible target date, so you can also set your goal based on the number of calories you want to eat per day. (I like smaller calorie deficits.) Also, bravo for the warnings about going below 1200 calories! Keep being responsible, please! EDIT: I just deleted a star because I saw below what data they are collecting. Dude, collect my subscription money. Don’t invade my privacy like this. There is no reason to know my contacts, etc. Also, this shouldn’t be an app for ages 4+. Toddlers don’t need to diet. Kids and teens should not be encouraged to diet either given the statistics on the body dysmorphia and eating disorders they develop for life. Thanks!.Version: 6.84
✓ I6sLove it.Version: 4.86
✓ Excellent1 month 21 lbs lighter and still going! Thanks, scan bar code is Not great.... But All thé rest is very usefull!.Version: 4.42
✓ Must Have App for Getting HealthyExcellent for tracking, and providing your day at a glance (you never know how out of touch you are with reality until you see an actual serving of peanut butter). Definitely needs to expand the workout options, or have the ability to search. Either way, great tool for setting and reaching your goals..Version: 4.92
✓ 5-stars!!I absolutely love this app! I downloaded Fooducate a while back when I had a bit of extra weight I wanted to lose and fell in love with it. It really helped me become more aware of the food I was eating and the different ways food labels trick us into eating unhealthy foods. I scan literally every new food I choose when I’m in the supermarket to make sure I am keeping in line with my health goals. Anytime I hear about new nutrition trends/ingredients/products, Fooducate is the first place I go to check it out. I also love how the app shows me if a food I scan has nightshades in it. I have a major food sensitivity to nightshades and they are often hidden in the ingredients, so this makes my life way easier! This app has changed the way I look at the foods I eat and helped me so much in my health journey..Version: 6.36
✓ Great appThis app helps me realize what quality of food I eat. It keeps track of my exercise, water intake, and what I eat at every meal/snack with breakdown of calories. It adjusts calories I can have based on my exercise. It doesn’t display the other nutrition information, but it does transfer that information to the health app. What frustrates me is when I am entering food for a certain meal, it changes the time to when it thinks that meal should be. I wish it would leave the time as current and let me change it if necessary. It has a database of thousands of foods and lets me add foods and recipes (until today). I have had the app for about 6 months for free. I don’t know if they changed something recently to limit capability..Version: 6.14
✓ Great appThe app is really helpful and is free too which is nice. Can’t wait to use it more!.Version: 5.20
✓ Good app for trackingI like being able to track to keep up with my goals. doesn't recognize any canadian barcodes or many canadian brands but if you don't mind taking a moment to enter in the information it works just as well. i don't need it to be 100% accurate, just a guide. the community area is a nice touch..Version: 4.981
✓ An excellent calorie tracker and educational too!I love this app! It is far different from the other calories tracker app because it also educates you and grades certain foods. It informs you whether the food or drink you consume is healthy for you by grading it. For example if the food is healthy enough to eat the app grades it at A+ or close to that and if the food is unhealthy to eat, the app grades the food closer to a letter D. This really has educated me based on the grading scores of the foods. It truly helps me stay away from the bad and unhealthy foods out there. It’s also community based so the list of foods just keeps growing and growing. I totally recommend this to anyone trying to get fit/healthy..Version: 5.04
✓ So far so good…So far this app seems to cover all the bases and it seems to integrate well with Apples health app. I've had the app for years but just started using it seriously this week since I was recently diagnosed with diabetes (yuck). I only have a few questions now: 1) does this app take in (record) daily supplements, and 2) how can I find and select foods in advance that will appear in the list when I am recording the foods I eat? Other than that I really like the detail and analysis of all the important food points like sugar, fat, cholesterol, carbs and many more. I'm sure after using it diligently for the next few months I will have a much better review..Version: 5.02
✓ Great app but change all grades from F to AI think this app is great. I take full advantage of their grading scale on food items. After going through multiple explanations on why they grade the way the do ,I’ve concluded it is a very consistent and reliable scale but you have to look out what that products top grade is because it isn’t always an A, I wish they would just make the scale consistent across the board in regard to F-A. Otherwise it is pretty good for helping you track your weight but there are many other apps for that. The community is mostly pleasant and the app is very easy to use. 9/10 would recommend..Version: 6.26
✓ Different than the restI have tried several different calorie-tracking apps, and this one stands out far from the rest. It doesn’t only focus on how many calories you’re eating, and how many are burning, but actually gives you a score of the quality of food you’re eating so you can make better healthier choices. Now I can see & understand not only my calorie intake, but the nutritional value of what I’m eating, which is probably a better approach to take for anyone who is trying to be mindful about their eating habits.. Plus the app is super easy & fun to use..Version: 7.1
✓ I use it dailyFooducate has changed my life. Literally. I did weight watchers, fitness pal, lose it, lifesum and others. They are nice but never worked for me because of the focus on calories only. This app opened my eyes to the source of calories - the actual ingredients that go into foods. I learned that a lot of the low fat and low carb food I had been eating for years were full of unhealthy ingredients. I swapped out these foods for healthier suggestions made by fooducate and things started to change! Today I’m 32 lbs lighter, and find it easy to maintain my healthy eating habits without thinking of myself as being on a weight loss diet. Thank you!!.Version: 5.30
✓ Pretty goodI like how it grades the foods and suggests healthier choices, but it needs to add more products (such as food). Also, it needs to add more exercises but other than that it's a good app.Version: 4.82
✓ Paid for the Fooducate Pet Premium Feature…. Now what?I was SO EXCITED when I saw there was a new feature for keeping track of your pet’s nutrition. Especially since I’ve been looking for an app that does this for a while now - I want to add supplements and Whole Foods to my dog’s food and would like to keep track of the nutrients I’m adding. Anyway, I’ve purchased it. Logged out and logged back in and I’m confused. How does this feature work? Can I add a separate profile to my account for the pup (that’s what I’d prefer). I found an article online mentioning a separate app for it, turns out it was an April fools joke?!?! I’m confused and beginning to wonder if I just got scammed out of $10..Version: 6.82
✓ So far so good…Have had this app a little over a day now and I’m really enjoying using it! I got the 3 day free trial. I don’t know yet if it’s worth 50$ so not gonna pay for it at this time. I’ve been addicted to logging in my food intake and water intake as well as exercise and just seeing things broken down so well into categories and nutritional info. The community seems super supportive and friendly! I also noticed there’s TONS of different podcasts to help you with your journey be it weight management, mental health, diet programs, fitness and working out, music, self help type stuff, motivational topics and advice kinda topics. I have ADHD, depression, anxiety, PTSD and they have main show podcast episodes on all of those topics. Really neat stuff they have to offer. I don’t know what it’s gonna look like once the 3 day trial ends but we shall see. I’m really excited to use this app and lose some weight as well as learn how to just eat and be healthier than I’ve ever been before. 2024 is our year so let’s own this beeotch!.Version: 7.13
✓ ProductsI wish there were more food choices for Canadian Products. Tried to scan a couple products found here but they were unknown. Maybe in time. Quite happy overall..Version: 4.82
✓ Helpful and InformativeFooducate helps me be more aware of every bite I put in my mouth, because I know I will have to enter it into the app. I like that it also helps me understand more about the quality of ingredients and nutrients I'm consuming. I wish that it had an easy way to know more about a food before adding to my daily intake. I find that I have to add a food first in order to see just how it will affect the daily goals, nutrition info, etc. It would be helpful to me to be able to look at that detailed info as I try to decide what to choose for snacks and meals. The feature may be there, but if it is I haven't found it yet. I've been using the app a little over a week and have lost over a pound, so I'm seeing good results. It reminds me of when I used Weight Watchers points tracking, which also worked well for me. I also like the diet tips, where I have read some interesting information. The notifications are nice to help me remember to log in each meal before I forget what I ate. This is a good solid app. I have also found it worth the extra money to unlock the premium features. I plan to continue using this one!.Version: 5.02
✓ Now I Remember What I Did Not Like!I could not remember what I did not like about this app, but now I do! Sorry to say it’s after I purchased the “Pro”. When entering a personal recipe, it will not let you enter the recipe amounts (example: the recipe calls for 1/3 Cup Sugar and it will only let you enter their SERVING amount for sugar - 1 teaspoon). You should be able to enter the recipe amount, then the calculation should break it down to serving size, based on the number of servings the recipe yields. What a bummer!!! I live alone and make my recipes so I can freeze portions and not have to cook every meal..Version: 6.44
✓ Great app!I love this app so much! I have used many of the recipes already and I love how they show you nutritional content in all of your meals. It is a little bit hard to navigate at first, but once u do, you’re golden:).Version: 6.26
😕 Fooducate: Nutrition Coach Negative Reviews
