    Like that it is largely offline other than to search the food DB sources, no account to have to sign into and feed your data to someone.

    Dislikes, some graphical glitches on my phone like buttons going off the edge and unable to scroll down. Also, no murica measurements for those of us accustomed to measuring against arbitrary, non-scientific standards.

        I don’t really know what you mean by checking. I’m pretty sure you can import from there but I haven’t used that yet anyway because not a single food I’ve looked up there has had enough data for it to be usable for me and a lot haven’t been added at all. Might be because I’m in Germany tho.

          I also use Food You and Open Food Facts has a lot of errors for Italian food products

    How’s the food database?

    Is it static, or can one change it locally, and/or upload contributions?

      It looks like it stores the “Swiss food Composition Database” locally, and also hits up Open Food Facts and the USDA Food Central databases. Any or all can be disabled in the settings.

      You can add your own local stuff. No idea if it gets uploaded. The database has been solid for UK products at least.
