Portions App Reviews

I hate it....A TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY....MISLEADING.....I have an iPhone 3G S , which should be compatible with this application....there isnt a Settings option as the screen prints above would suggest.... its innacurate in its recommendations....plus if you enter more than the the requirement that it does sugggest (which is not inline with the Canada food guide) it kills the tracking, which was already wrong in the first place....there are hardly any items listed under portions...its a waste of time, money and energy...GRRRR!

This app. doesnt work...what a waste of money. As it says it is compatible with the Ipod Touch...yah...right. Once you pay for it it wont load. Awful, dont buy it! The support is a joke to. Theres nothing there & no way to contact the creator.

I do not find where to enter my age and gender on my Ipod Touch to adjust the daily portion (i use the french version). So the app is not usable at all...And there are a lot of typos in the text. I do hope you will be fast to correct those bugs because this app could be great ! I will give it a 5 stars when this will be corrected.

the app is a good idea, simple, but the portions suggested are not accurate! and there is no way to adjust them within the age group (eg pregnancy, diabetic person). if it could be possible to manually adjust the recommended portions it would be great. for now, this app is a total disappointment. not worth 99 cents.

I agree! Great idea but disappointing. I wish Id read the reviews before paying 99 cents...

Dont bother the serving amounts are not correct. Definitely not according to the Canadian food guide. This app should not be for sale with such a glaring problem. Doesnt take into account that male and females have different serving sizes and the sizes on this app are not even kids amounts

at first i also thought that the number of servings were incorrect but they are once you go into your ipod settings and update your age and gender. now the portion sizes are correct! one suggestion woud be the option of recording what food you ate on top of it all but it deifinately is good for keeping track of servings based on the food guide

Despite configuring in settings, portions are incorrect and calories calculation is not working. Free would be too much for this app, 0.99$ is a steal! Deleted and asked for refund.

This is a simple quick easy to use program to remind you of what you have eaten in a day and what kinds of foods that you may have left for snacking. I would like to be able to track 1/2 portions though as i only 1 egg for for a meal. Other than that it is perfect for my needs. I have been using it against the fitness app and interestingly enough they both are fairly equal by end of day… but this app takes 1/8 of the time to input the information and doesnt require calorie counting.

Technical parts work fine, but not a healthy nor accurate form of tracking food intake. Not impressed.

I find portion control easier than counting calories, and this app based on the Canada Food Guide is a simple and easy way to stay on track. The ability to adjust the number of portions is very helpful in personalizing it to your particular needs. No food enters my mouth without being entered into this app first. This makes me think about what Im eating and why, and encourages me to plan ahead. Im eating healthily, I feel great, Im getting closer to a healthy weight, my blood pressure is great ... Its all good! Thanks, to the developer of this app and to the Canada Food Guide.

I second the request for being able to track half portions. Also a category for water consumption would be great. Other than those small requests I quite like this app. It is simple and easy to use. Thanks.

This app is simple and effective for helping you track your nutritional intake and portion sizes. I especially love that you can customize your number of servings so each user can set their own individual goals to meet. The only thing I would change would be to add a small feature that allows you to track half portions. Otherwise, Im very impressed!

I love the concept! However it needs a few adjustment to be a good food journal. 1) Yes, definitely requires its own input line for water consumption. 2) fruits and vegetables should be separated they are both good and required but with different food intake a fruit portion cannot replace a vegetable portion.

Great app for simple food tracking. However, the customizable food servings will. It let me change quantities right now. Please look into this!

Clean and simple design, great overall. Would like to see more food portions in the guide section and maybe also a section on junk food portion sizes so you can keep a more accurate log. It would also be nice to be able to edit daily portion amounts in case you were on a special diet. Im happy with my purchase, thanks!

I looked everywhere for an application like this. Its almost perfect! Would you mind to add a category for fats? And it would be great to be able to edit the numbers of portions, because exchange diets vary depending on whether you are male, female or maintaining. Thank you. Well worth it.

Does its job. Simple and easy.

We need a way to add or customize catagories. My catagories are different than this, I have additional groups like fats starches and dairy. I wish I could customize this! No other apps exist. Boo hoo!! Kudos though for being first with this concept. Its a long time coming.

I have used the customize feature on your app since I bought it. Today I turned it off briefly to check the standard amounts for another age group. The customize feature no longer worked when I returned to it. I then deleted the app and downloaded it again. But it still doesnt work. Please advise. I love this app when it is fully working. The simplicity and design are brilliant. I am always touting it to anybody who might be interested. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. And your support page doesnt seem to be working.
