Too many inconsistencies and incomplete entries. Where is plain old chicken breast? Not worth your money!

Go online for free charts/ indexes. This is garbage. No explanation of drugs/ ingredients used to lower the GI score of foods- ex: addition of vinegar or acarbose to high GI foods. I am a pharmacist doctor. I understand these things, but just looking for a quick ref. Shame on me for not reading the reviews.
Very confusing and often self-contradictory. Very poor search engine; many very common foods are absent while many obscure brand-name items are listed....I strongly suspect paid placement.
I like this application. It shows a simple, straightforward report on many foods, suitable for a quick check while shopping. My only grumble is that the app came with several dozen "favorite" foods pre-defined and it took time to go through and manually delete all the favorites that are not MY favorites...on each device where I have installed the app. A few as an example would be better than dozens and dozens.
This app is good for looking up foods. However, if you really want to incorporate a low GI diet, a GI daily tracker is a must. The GI tracker gives you daily totals of proteins, fats,calories and the glycemic load. I use both!
I was using this app several times a day until the last update. It is unusable and comes up with irrelevant results in search. The interface has been made more complex and confusing. I tried to contact the developer directly through the app, but could find a way to do it. Im giving it 2 stars just because it used to be helpful.
Would like more foods listed, brands etc. ie Lara bars. But helpful for sure!
I deleted this app because it comes with a huge list of "favorites" that arent my favorites. Too labor intensive to delete individually.
I enter potato and get a million weird dishes containing potatoes; way down the list are potatoes but no indication about prep - grilled, boiled, baked - many very common foods are not even on here!!! Great idea and somewhat helpful, I like the Glycemic Load as well as Glycemic index. Needs a lot of improvement, mainly organization. Please improve, we need this service
I was using this app with no problems until the last update. It is almost unusable now. I noticed on blueberries you have a GL of 22 when in reality it is around 6. Thats pretty far off.Mary
I like the ease of use and the simplicity!
Helps some, but does not always work properly.
Pretty comprehensive list of food. However, some of the food only has glycemic index but not glycemic load which is a very important factor. Overall, it is a good app.
Very useful, keeps getting better with every new veraion
The app is very useful - good info to have at your fingertips. I use it all the time.
Every time I open it, it is upside down -the ONLY app that has ever done that on my iPad. Wish the list of foods was more comprehensive
Love this app as a listing for GI & GL. Could add a tracking feature to be fabulous.
The list is missing allot of basic items. Not as good as I hoped for.
Good info, but the database is missing items one would think would be obvious. For example, raw almonds are not found. This nut is often recommended to those people watching carb intake. The database should be updated since this is not a free database.
Great app!
