My Daily Plate for Negative User Reviews

✓ Very limited optionsThis app is simple to use and I like that. However, it does not allow you to change the food amount consumed. It also does not have a lot of basic foods. The food list is quite limited. If those two things were fixed, this would be an excellent app!.AggiNessVersion: 2.5

✓ Great Help, but Needs Some TweaksThis app is really great. I love the easy way it lets you count calories to help clean up your diet, but I think there are some additions that would be really helpful. 1) An option to enter the stats about something you eat that isn't already an option in the menu. 2) The food menu has a lot of options, which is great, but it has a lot if gaps too. In having this app I'm working on my diet, and I'm sure a lot of other people are too. However, that doesn't mean I won't have a cookie or milkshake sometime..SpotgirlVersion: 2.5

✓ LimitedThe food selection is okay, but you can't customize anything. I wanted to change the amount of food I ate and it wouldn't allow me to. I also wanted to set limits on my protein consumption and it didn't give me that option. The breakdown of what foods you're eating is great but it's so simple you don't know what type of carb you're eating or what percentage you are at. I am very disappointed..Rachaelll18Version: 2.5

✓ Only for AmericansNo option for kilos. Only American foods. As in no fruit loaf or raisin toast. Waste of money if in Australia or UK.GnilradVersion: 2.5

✓ Good app but need workThe app does a great job of tracking the different food groups and it helps me ensure I get enough vegetables. Where I find it lacking is in the food logging itself. There is no way to log food that is processed or "unhealthy" and so if you eat something like that you can't log the calories. Then when you review the week it seems like you got less calories when really you just ate things you couldn't log. With a few updates it could be a rockstar app for healthy eating!.HokieponykVersion: 2.5

✓ UselessYou can't add anything that isn't on here if you need to cause the calorie counts to be off. Junk food or unnecessary items that don't "pertain" to the 5 food groups aren't on any lists minimizing what you can really pick. There are no meals either. I had lasagna today and if I want to even add that to record my calories then I need to make sure I know how much of each ingredient I ate that makes that lasagna. Not worth the 99¢ that you pay for it and any other free dieting and calorie counting app will do what this app does and more. If you're adamant about using choose my plate, I suggest you use the supertracker that comes online because this one won't help you..ChaayceVersion: 2.5

✓ DisappointingMy dietician recommended the choose your plate website to track my food intake through pregnancy. I was excited to see the app. Unfortunately the app is not useful. The food is very limited. You cannot even find pizza on it. Also you cannot update the nutrition recommendations for being pregnant. I am really disappointed I spent money on this. The app could really be improved by adapting the features of the website..Rwade3017Version: 2.5

✓ Just use my fitness palI thought this app would be great. I just had a baby and can’t see my nutritionist for a month. Since she and I always focus on the plate idea, I thought this app would be perfect because it Mimics what I did pre pregnancy. However, I don’t like that I can’t enter my own items or scan my own items. I am limited to what this app provides. My fitness pal is identical and free! Wish I didn’t waste the 99 cents. This app has a lot of potential, but it’s not there yet..Aw11121Version: 2.5

✓ Very limitedIt would be nice to have a search feature so you didn’t have to go through all the list of foods looking for something. Also the list of foods seems very limited and you can’t edit the serving amounts so if you only eat half of a serving what are you do? It’s OK but not great especially to not be free..KrjopaVersion: 2.5

✓ Nice and SimpleI use this app to keep track of what I eat. It's good to see what food groups I favor and which ones I need to try harder to include in my diet. It's simple and easy to use. Choices are limited for which foods you can select, I keep hoping they'll update the app and add more. But it's a good way to estimate how you're doing without going calorie crazy.KnovakVersion: 2.5

✓ Garbage appThe app gives no information on macros other than basically water and calories. you dont get any vitamin intake or anythigb. u could fill up on the categories and it will say good job meanwhile you are deficient on a particular vitamin or mineral but the app doesnt measure those. years agp the my plate was created by the USDA and there were calculations for all macros. this app is a calorie counter. wasted a dollar..Tanman55555Version: 2.5

✓ Needs improvementI used this app a few days and found it easy to use with calories goal count, history log of foods eaten each day, food selection to log calories and colorful plate to show the fulfillment each food groups. However it would be an improvement to update with more food selection because some foods I ate are not available for selection (it is more complicated to select different ingredients here and there to calculate calories just for an item example like Pizza. I also wish there are activity log and weight log too..DhgcvjtfVersion: 2.5

✓ So limited as to be useless and actively misleadingGiving the user only a (rather limited) list of options to choose from, without any way to add custom items, means that what gets recorded is often full of gaps to the point of being useless and misleading. No way to enter any fats and oils? No way to enter any desserts or candy? No beverages other than water and milk? Ridiculous. There's no way to record the cup of coffee or tea you drank, or the soda, or OJ. You can record the bread you ate, but not the butter you put on it. If you eat a candy bar, your calorie count in this app won't know about it. You had fish? The app will assume it was either baked or grilled. Of course, if it was actually fried, the app will estimate the calories very wrong. If you had peas, the app simply assumes there were "no salt or fat added." If you had a salad, the app won't know about the dressing. (And to all the people in these reviews saying "well, you _shouldn't_ eat sweets/fried food/fats" - shouldn't this app log what you actually eat, not what you _should ideally_ eat? And an app that only works for people who already always eat the ideal diet isn't much of a helpful app.).NeuriteVersion: 2.5

✓ A little disappointedI was hoping this app would have the information needed on what should amounts be consumed daily. Also there isn't much personalization options. I can't put in my own foods which I would imagine throws off the accuracy of this app. Hopeful for changes soon... As I actually paid for this app and it isn't even close to what the free ones offer!.Kimmi0387Version: 2.5

✓ Could use more food choices.I like the simplicity of this app; however, I wish there were more food choices. There is a option for meatless hotdogs but what about other meat free options?? An update with more food choices would be great (especially vegetarian and vegan options)..Me171125Version: 2.5

✓ Too basicCan not adjust quantities, limited food options, but worst of all for me/what I was looking for was something to take into account for pregnancy. It’s an option on their website calculator, so I had to adjust the calories to what was stated there, but it changes quite a bit from start to finish. This is the time when nutrition matters the most! Too basic, so I will not be using anymore. Maybe in a few years when I’m no longer breastfeeding and can focus on a simple diet, but I doubt it..TristamaVersion: 2.5

✓ Only three stars....I easily would have given this 5 stars if it were not for the fact there is no place to mark off fats and oils, sugars, or condiments. It's very easy and simple to use and I can see where this is going to be a great help! Add the extras and I will gladly give you 5 stars!.TendraxVersion: 2.5

✓ Could Be Great With A Few AdditionsI track a lot of my food on other apps and finally realized that I didn’t know how much I was consuming of the food pyramid, so I decided to use this app. I like it, but it could be great with a few additions: 1) I see my plate and it filling, but don’t know the the recommendations that I should be eating. That should be a basic. 2) Foods need to be expanded for this of us with allergies- and don’t eat certain types of food-, ie I don’t eat dairy so use coconut milk and that isn’t listed. 3) Allow for half serving or more serving sizes. 4) Allow for other swaps- ie, can foods count for more than one category and be able to have it added for both. With that- this would be a great app..S.E.E.1Version: 2.5

✓ EhI wish that you could search for the food that you ate. Also I wish you could have the option to record everything you eat, including chocolate or anything that doesn't fit into the categories.Thisappisstupid32457198Version: 2.5

✓ Useful, needs more optionsI like the visual display and it really helps to plan what your next meal should be. It was eye opening for me to see how I need to balance my diet. I wish there were more portion options (smaller) and more foods available to choose from or the ability to customize foods and add your own calories..BkalbeVersion: 2.5

✓ Could use a few thingsI really like how it charts out the food groups on the plate / but does not let you know how many more you need for the day. It is hard to see what has been consumed for the day, needs more food choices, and some more personalization - weight or inches tracker... A few simple things need to be added to this app and it would be excellent!.Bossy580Version: 2.5

✓ Great appI love this app because it gives me a clear visual of what I am missing in my meals every day. The main update that I see as key is to be able to add your own foods that are not listed and to add your own serving size since I find myself being in the quantities that are not listed. Being able to edit your own calories would be great too..Sandyb333Version: 2.5

✓ Needs more optionsIt would be helpful to be able to edit a plate from a previous day or two. After dinner I don’t always remember to enter what I ate and the app wont allow me to do it in the morning for the prior day or add to a prior day. Also, it’s silly that there are no entries for butter, oil, sour cream, etc that is added to foods - thus lowering the calorie intake that is shown and making it quite inaccurate. Also, there no place for sweets/sugar to be entered. I understand the point is to track the healthy foods eaten, but it’s not realistic to only eat purely healthy foods. It would also be helpful for there to be smaller amounts of things as an option. I don’t put 1/2 c of spinach in my eggs, and want to enter 1/4 c. Or I eat 3 baby carrots, not 6. A little more customization and a sweets and fats category would be great..Shannon in ChinaVersion: 2.5

✓ Change servingsReally good app. It would be a five star if you could set up your own servings. Say 2 dairy, then the app would be more useful to more people. But I love the simplicity and visual aspect..RaquellotrVersion: 1.21

✓ Waste of 99 centsIt could be really great if it let you add foods that aren't on the list. For example, I needed to add a protein shake and it wasn't on the list and there was no way to personalize it. On the website you can add recipes and there are more options for foods to choose from, but I downloaded this app because I wanted the convenience of not having to log it on the computer every day. This doesn't really do me much good..Slowjoe9000Version: 2.5

✓ Love the layout but needs improvementI love the layout and I want to use it however I could not find a protein bar, for instance. Or I am looking the wrong way. It would be great if we could scan bar codes like other apps..RRDECAVersion: 2.5
