Diet Radar - Food Scanner

Diet Radar comes pre-loaded with 7 different diets:

• Vegan

These diets cover many of the hidden and hard to remember ingredients we find in modern day food products. The diets can be modified in order to achieve a complete listing of all the ingredients you can't have.
To scan a food product simply hold the camera steady on the ingredients label of a food product and watch as the ingredients you can't eat are printed in red and surrounded by a red rectangle.
For detection tips and further explanation read the help section within the app.

I tried it on may food ingredients labels. It mis-indentified a number of high FODMAP ingredients and it miss others. Furthermore this app cannot tell you how of a high FODMAP ingredient a food contains. One needs to know the amount of FODMAP a food contains in order to determine if the food is or is not high FODMAP. The Monash FODMAP app who developed the FODMAP diet is a much better and 100% reliable source of FODMAP information about the FODMAP content of foods
Does not work at all. Very disappointed. Tried it at home and it did not highlight anything. Had high hopes because I am on the fodmap diet. :(
This app is great.once you set it up by enter in all of the ingredients you want to avoid it makes shopping so much faster. No more slowly reading food labels for me.
This appears to be working well for others but for some reason it didn't scan the ingredients well. It would highlight a few or parts of the words, some words were irrelevant and some were missed altogether. But saying that give it a go, it might work better for you?
Great app but if the FODMAP diet could be split into High FODMAP and Low FODMAP, this would be pretty amazing.
Lets you scan ingredient lists with your camera, and lets you choose your own diet if needed. Includes bad FODMAPS!
Very useful app.which helpd me adhere to take quality food and maintain my life style
Cuts my shopping time I'm half. It checks all ingredients on the back of the packaging so I don't have to! Saves me confusion time and so convenient! I use it daily. Love. Love. Love it!!!
You have to enter the item or items you wish to look for for it to scan. What? It won't scan like other apps do by having the bar code in the designated area.
Please add alpha-gal allergy (red meat) as a pre defined diet. Thanks.
..does not scan well or interpret results well.
Terrible. Failed to scan ingredients.
Great for FODMAPs. Question, how does the edit list of foods work? Thanks
Would not scan
Great idea, simple to use, seems pretty accurate so far. I only worry if it ever make a mistake and the developer gets a law suit, wouldn't want that to happen! Maybe need some legal jargon in the description to avoid this!
Stay healthy with this app. It helps to have an app tell you all the good and bad ingredients.
Recently I have had to remove gluten from my diet as well as follow the Low FODMAP diet. This has been very overwhelming. This app has made it so much easier to shop!
Great app! With the FODMAP diet having so many things listed this is a massive help with the shopping!
Glad I found this. Nice to know what's actually in the food I'm eating. So easy to use too. Love it.
Great way to see what's in your diet
This is a fantastic App for anyone with allergies, intolerances or specific dietary preferences. As a Nutritionist, I feel confident recommending this to my clients' to help them make informed decisions at the super market. Very easy to use too. Thanks for the great App!
Please add a sugar free diet to the options.
Been using in shops and its perfect. Being new to food intolerance, it's been enlightening. Thanks to the inventor of the app.
Love to see new apps being made and creators taking the risk. I believe this app would go far
Disappointed after all the good reviews, but the app didn't work for me at all.
Does the job
This app works brilliantly. I have wanted something like this for so long. Thank you. I will install this on all my families phones so they can feel confident buying gluten free food for me.
Love this app thank you!!!
It's ok.
Very useful app. Helps me find non vegan additives even in low light or microprint. UI is clean and simple, easy to use and very stable. character/word recognition is really good and it has caught things that I would have skimmed over. Image capture is as good as your camera and lighting, works great on my s5. Wish it would keep a history though.
