Ratings and reviews

it would be nice if it counted net carbs vs total carbs. Also more measurement options would be nice as well. Obviously I like the app but not quite sure exactly worth payin for given rhe extremely limited database and rhe fact it pops up a crash message every time I want to search for a new food. i like that i can input my own food and nutrtional info. fix these issues and i can stop looking for another app to do the same thing

Overall great app, its been super helpful since T1D kiddos diagnosis but the lack of data sync to other health apps is a real downfall. It's weird though because health sync lists it but says it needs an update to connect but there is no update and no plan for this feature as far as I can tell but health connect can clearly tell it has data it could use but can't access 🤷

UPDATE......All now up and running as was after some help from Steve Great app for T1 but.... I've just got a new phone. Saved all apps on play via Google to transfer over to new phone. This all happened but.....I don't have the same functions I had with app on old phone with new phone. is there anyway to carry over membership to new phone? I'm not able to change weights on selected food etc like I could on old phone
