Wholesome - Healthy eating App Reviews

Ive been using the wholesome app for a while now! I love it and was always recommending it to friends and clients. I was really upset after completing the latest updating and seeing that we now have to pay to use the app for features that *used* be free. I wish instead the nutrition tracker feature would have remained free and added new features for the extra cost.

Super!!! All need to use it!!!

Exactly what I was looking for. Easy to customize, add goals and new items. Thank you!

This use to be a great free app that offered nutritional info along with tips. But they have since become greedy and expect users to pay for something that once was free and remains easily accessible on the internet. Definitely not worth the fee of $2.99 a month theyre trying to extort. Do yourself a favor a download the Google app instead.

The most aesthetic/detailed nutrition tracker I know about. Functionality has improved over time. Looking forward to a vegan user profile option!

I bought this app because I needed something to help me track my micro-nutrients and My Fitness Pal (which I love and still use) is really geared more toward weight loss than in depth nutrition. I really wish that I had not paid for the subscription until improvements had been made. Its a beautiful app, but has lots of gaps and quirks that make it difficult to use. The biggest flaw is that this app does NOT allow you to plan menus in advance. It does not make sense to me that they have this beautiful data-base, but force you to enter your meals in a record-as-you-eat diary format that only allows you to see that your current diet has gaps and allows you to rework menus in hind-sight. Good nutrition (especially on a budget) requires advance planning (a weeks worth for me) to buy and prepare fresh ingredients, and this app makes that difficult. Some other areas that need improvement: -- This app does not track sugar intake (pretty important for a fruit lover like myself). -- I can add a custom food to eat, but it wont seem to let me use it in a recipe. -- The search by color option is pretty pointless, it would be soooo much more useful if we could search by multiple filters such as: "high in calcium, low in sodium" etc. so we can fill in nutritional gaps while keeping in mind potential excesses without having to rework the menu so much (the suggestions are nice, but only seem to target individual deficiencies, not the menu as a whole). One minor annoyance: the app wont rotate on my iPad, so I always have to keep my iPad upright.

What a huge disappointment. Dont buy this app. It is still in beta stage with a gazillion problems. It should be free not $3.99!!

Im transitioning to a vegan diet, and wished there was an app similar to the USDA websites "super tracker" so that I could track my nutrient intake. Ive used MyFitnessPal, but that app is more useful for weight loss and calorie counting, not nutrient tracking. Wholesome is very whole foods focused, and the colorful pictures encourage me to eat more whole foods rather than processed ones; though the processed foods are also available if you use the search bar. My favorite part is the "tips" tab on all the whole foods, including pesticide risk, how to store it, how to eat it, health benefits, and more.

Love the focus on health over calorie counting. Ive tried every app and this is by far the best one with the most comprehensive information. Definitely worth every penny for the pro tracking features.

Im not going to be using this app anymore. Not when there are so many apps that do basically the same thing for free, or at least a one time payment. $5 is not worth it to simply keep track of calories and nutrients. Additionally health it syncing no longer works properly. All vitamins sync as 0 even though in the app they appear correctly. ****Original review*** I rarely write reviews because so few apps meet my expectations. For those who are truly health conscious tracking calories or fat is secondary to measuring our daily intake of many essential vitamins and minerals. This app empowers me to view a break down of everything I eat with scientific precision. Its also free and works great with Apple health.

Fantastic App. Loads of great information. Lost a star as I believe the UI (User Interface) could be a lot more user friendly. I personally prefer a more clean design. Great job

This app is fantastic. Its so interesting to look up a food that you eat all the time, for example a cucumber, and find out what nutrients are in it. Im always surprised with what I find. I love the feature that allows you to tap a nutrient and the app tells you what benefits it has. I love it!

I really like how the app works it encourages you to eat wholefoods. I find it doesnt include some important foods, such as seaweed. And I wish you could change how the food is measure such as tbsp or cups interchanges with oz

Great, convenient app for keeping track of the good foods you eat. Looking forward to more foods being added.

When you click yoghurt it automatically picks organic milk instead. There doesnt seem to be a way to undo this.

There isnt a big enough breadth of options and I dont see the ability to add items. One example is I use Coconut Sugar and Stevia daily and neither are accounted for and there isnt really suitable placeholders nutrition wise.

great app!

Great app except it need more food and vitamins added to the content. Im gluten free and many items I can not add because their not in the app. There are only two vitamins to choose from VD and VB12. I take iron pills and others to help with my celiacs and I cant tract any of these. Perhaps if it could also be merged with a fitness app that may help. Not worth the money I paid considering the lack of content. I would pay 99 cents.

The keyboard is in the way of the done button to make an account

Love the app and all its features, but the "my foods" option is pretty buggy and will crash the app pretty often.
