Like that it is largely offline other than to search the food DB sources, no account to have to sign into and feed your data to someone.

Dislikes, some graphical glitches on my phone like buttons going off the edge and unable to scroll down. Also, no murica measurements for those of us accustomed to measuring against arbitrary, non-scientific standards.

It's in their milestone 1.0.0 (issue 29) but no ETA given.

All food has grams listed on the serving size. The FDA requires it.

Food You is the one I use. Looks like they're pretty similar tho, at least from the screenshots.

Design of that is super clean - nice!

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

I do like the Material You design.

I used that one for a while. It doesn't automatically check with openfoodfacts.org, which is a big downside for me.

I don't really know what you mean by checking. I'm pretty sure you can import from there but I haven't used that yet anyway because not a single food I've looked up there has had enough data for it to be usable for me and a lot haven't been added at all. Might be because I'm in Germany tho.

Edit: I've actually imported a product that did have all the information and it worked perfectly fine. You just share the link from OpenFoodFacts to Food You. Only monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats didn't import but I've already opened and issue for that and it'll be fixed in version 3.

I also use Food You and Open Food Facts has a lot of errors for Italian food products

How's the food database?

Is it static, or can one change it locally, and/or upload contributions?

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

It looks like it stores the "Swiss food Composition Database" locally, and also hits up Open Food Facts and the USDA Food Central databases. Any or all can be disabled in the settings.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

You can add your own local stuff. No idea if it gets uploaded. The database has been solid for UK products at least.

I have uploaded to open food facts.
