Alkaline Diet - Food Search
FUNCTIONALITY: This simple app has an index of the most common foods. You can search for any food and quickly find out its pH level (acid, neutral, alkaline).
ALKALINE FOOD EXAMPLES: most fruits and vegetables, soybeans, tofu, some nuts, seeds, and legumes.
ACIDIC FOOD EXAMPLES: dairy, eggs, meat, most grains, and processed foods.
THE SCIENCE: A pH level measures how acid or alkaline something is. It ranges from 0 (totally acidic) to 14 (completely alkaline). Your blood is slightly alkaline, with a pH level between 7.35 and 7.45. The alkaline diet claims to help your body maintain its blood pH level
The foods you're supposed to eat on the alkaline diet are good for you because of it consists of lots of fruits and vegetables. Also, avoiding sugar, alcohol, and processed foods is healthy weight-loss advice.

Excellent app. Especially the realtime search. Is it possible to add a facet that enables search by labels(high alkaline forming, medium alkaline forming) etc
Such a handy app! Some commonly named foods don't rate a mention, such as black rice or pearl barley, but you can easily search for the root source and get a feel for the answer you're seeking.
Seems like a really good app but there needs to be some method to feed back errors that are found by users e.g. spinach wrongly listed as 'low acid forming'
It's very simple and easy to use. Gives me the info i need quickly which is great when grocery shopping.
not bad! wishing there were ways other than alphabetical or by specific name to look things up... like categories 😃
Great app, but it's catalog isn't that extensive. I really like it
I wish I could get rid of the ads. So annoying
Mist popular items are in the data bank for the alkaline results. A lot of foods are not registered on this site. Great site for a Neophyte
Thank you so very much for the easy access to this info!
Basic... clumsy.. but has many foods on list
Impressive food parring. Helps a lot.
The information is not accurate.
This does not have correct info.
you are a life saver.Healed my acid reflux.Thank you🙇
I used this app at the supermarket today. Very handy. I just have one small complaint. I understand the necessity of ads, but when doing a database search the ad covers the last result. I have to turn the phone sideways to be able to read part of the result. Should put the ad outside of the results list.
It's a database, but it can be a bit contradictory, for instance, romaine lettuce is listed as moderate acid-forming and moderate alkaline-forming. It would also be nice if there was a way to have an alphabetical list by food type or something.
Some basic knowledge regarding ph & some food items (e.g. butter milk) should be added in this app.
Very good that this app has a very large food database. Would be even better if it provides some sorts of grouping e.g. fruits, nuts. And also allow listing of each category of foods, e.g. med-alkaline, slightly acidic, etc. Excellent if some pictures could be added.
While I enjoy the great variety of foods, listed for reference, I noticed that coffee, for example, looks to be more acidic than honey. Coffee is considered to have a ph of about 5, while honey has an average of 4 ( 3.9 to 6.1). In the app, coffee is High to Mid acidic, while honey is Low. Apart from that- quite a straightforward app. Easy search.
Ads get in the way of viewing results, better off looking at a meme list, as many food items are still missing
Great app for searching foods on the go, works also offline.
Good app for quick refetence. Hope the database keeps growing
Alkaline foods are the way.
Not enough foods needs to be updated
It would be awesome if we can save the foods through out the day and see a daily average of ph
Can you add options to sort all by A-Z, level of alkaline or acid, and by food groups? Love the app
It said chickpeas are acid forming and soybeans are alkaline forming when it is actually in fact the other way around so don't trust this app
handy offline correct information
Best
At first I enjoyed the simplicity of this app. And the robust database of items. Until I found a big discrepancy. The app shows Spinach as low acid forming, which is wrong. Spinach is well known as high alkaline forming. Now I wonder how many more errors are there. I tried to find a way to contact the creators of this app but couldn't find anything. So I decided to put it in my review.
