I updated this 2 days ago, and now none of the foods stay stable enough to search. I deleted it, redownloaded it, and reinstated my backup. I have cleared the cache. still just partial, pixelated pictures, with no writing, and it hangs the phone. it was working fine

This app is great! The interface is intuitive and easy to navigate. It helps me track my carbs and glucose levels, and my partner uses it to log her calories. The database includes many food items, and adding missing ones is simple, even with custom ingredients. The AI nutrition label scan works well, even when it is part of the ingredients list. My only gripe is that predictive text on the keyboard gets disabled when adding food - hopefully that gets fixed.
