Nice Interface But Fairly Useless

This app puts a pretty face on a subset of the USDA foods database. However, it suffers from these flaws that make it fairly useless:

* It uses USDA food titles which are often cryptic (i.e., you have to know that "LT" means "Light". Although user foods can be entered and "shared" I see no evidence of shared foods in the listings; perhaps thats a feature restrictedto the paid version???
* It shows default nutritional values for foods (for example, Butter is shown as having 717 calories) but doesnt tell you that the values are for 100 grams worth of the food
* It provides a mechanism for choosing a serving size and servings, but limites the scaling to full servings. For example, butter contains choices for cup or tablespoon, but you cant enter 0.33 tablespoons to indicate 1 teaspoon.
* I is just a reference tool—it doesnt contain the ability to log the foods eating at a meal in in a day and show the totals.

The same information can be referenced right on the USDAs web site for free, and the USDA database can be downloaded for free as well.

Based on this experience with the lite version of this application I will not be considering purchasing the full app.
