A good start, but I'd like to see more features, like creating your own goals/stepping up to more advanced goals; allowing more than 3 goals per food group daily; connecting your MyPlate 101 results so you can account for your daily calorie and food group needs; the ability to track your total daily intake per food group; and accounting for exercise, even if it's a simple feature. Also, adding new goals hurts your past stats, and a weekly seafood goal is treated as a daily goal.

The app is educational and functions well but it's not for me. It is best for people who prefer very simple daily food goals ("eat fruit with lunch"). I needed a way to track the servings of each food group. I give it four stars because you cannot create your own goals, you can only choose from the provided options. They are all good suggestions but I ended up uninstalling it because I had additional/different goals. If you also want to count servings, not calories, I suggest the Nutrilio app.

I love the app. It has a ton of information describing each section of the plate and a helpful guide showing you how much equals a cup in each of the food groups. It's very helpful and very educational, but I wish it had a way to track what you are eating. Instead of just the daily goals I wish I could track how much of each food group I'm getting. Even if it's a super simple tracker it would still help a lot.
