Simple Food Tracker Foodility

I have been using foodility for about 3 weeks now and love it! I especially appreciate the clean, minimalist interface. I wanted a simple food and exercise journal without calorie counts included, and this is exactly that. I also like that I can record notes, weight, etc, and export to share with my nutritionist. A couple features that would be really helpful- 1) ability to use offline. Many food journal apps have this ability and I believe store the data locally on your device until you are online again, then sync to your account. 2) a “today” button that could, if you were for instance reviewing entries from a previous month, you could tap and immediately be taken to the current day. 3) ability to export all data at once (I like that you can choose dates, but an “export all” function would be nice). 4) ability to have calendar week start on Monday (random personal preference). Really, the app is great and I truly appreciate that the creators realize that some of us just want to be mindful of our eating without the obsessiveness of calories/macros. Also my favorite, minimalist interface of all the food journal apps I’ve tried!

So, I downloaded this app because I am dairy intolerant (I CAN eat dairy but it SOMETIMES gives me cramps, stomach aches and such) and I want to track what dairy I eat to see how much I can eat and stuff. I don’t want to count calories or diet. Just want to track of what I eat. I read through the description and I think that this app will do what I ask. I can add what I ate and when and all those things. I can add photos, too. I think this app will do good. I will add edits and suggestions but for first impressions it’s great. Simplistic and calm, easy to navigate. This app can basically do whatever you want to it to do. It’s very flexible from what I can see. As afore mentioned I will add edits and suggestions as I actually use the app, but I wanted to show what I expect and see how it turns out. I haven’t really tried tracking my food before, but I think it’s a good habit to get into for any reason. I will give it 4 stars for now because for first impressions it is fantastic and I think it will work great. Let’s see what i think about the app after I use it!

I like the simplicity of this app. I use this app for a food journal for a health log purpose and also just keeping memories of what I are where, etc. I have been using this app for 7 days straight since I started a new diet and so far I am enjoying using it. I was looking for something just to log what I ate without dealing with calorie counting, and this works for the purpose. I have some requests for improvements for the future versions if possible. Place - Restaurants, Home & Work should already be listed. I have to type “Home” every time I eat at home and it’s been annoying since I eat at home a lot. During the work week, many people may eat lunch at work, so “Work” should be one of the given choices as well for a convenient quick choice. Photos - Right now, I cannot add photos of food after I post a meal. I can go back and edit the text but cannot add a photo. I have to delete the entire post and re-do the post with the photo. This can be improved because we sometimes forget to add the photo or take the photo after posting. Also, I want to see the photos underneath the text, not next slide. At least it can show the first photo under the text, and hide more photos on the next page if there are multiple photos. Most of the time, i just post one quick photo and I want to see it at the same place without flipping the page.

This is a very basic app for tracking your food. Which is great because that’s what I wanted! I didn’t want to know the calories or anything like that I just simply wanted a food journal. I do wish there were some extra features. Like being able to copy and paste one meal to multiple days. I also do like that when you select a day on the calendar to add to your journal (sometimes I back log in days that I didn’t fill) you select the day on the calendar but then you have to select the day again (because it brings you to today) to add the time you ate. So I wish that was more cohesive. I also wish you could select the days you want to export. I share my journal with my personal trainer and when I export my food journal it shares everything from the beginning. Overall it does what I want but I do think there are some areas to improve.

I love how basic this app is! It’s simple and easy to use, which is what I wanted. The export feature is awesome to be able to print out what you’ve logged. The only reason I’m not giving it five stars is how long it takes to enter everything (#firstworldproblems). I wish it would be a little more intuitive, like guess the meal is dinner if I put the time as 6:30 p.m., or better yet, not even require a time of day or the type of meal. Also, clicking on a calendar date to add an entry doesn’t automatically prepare you to enter for the date you selected, but still defaults to “today.” These are just a couple of the little things I hope get updated in order to make entering meals faster, but it’s overall a great app!
