Simple Diet Diary Data Add-on

It's helpful for basic foods like rice and fruit but most branded foods on the database are American.

I am having problem getting it to connect to the app

This is a database of foods that makes it easy to enter items into Simple Diet Diary, It contains calorie counts that autofill. Like most such databases, it has a lot of items you wish weren't there and is missing some you wish were. But it's easy to modify or add new items and these appear on the autosuggest list. It's also easy to modify portions and calorie counts. This is a highly-useful -- I'd even say essential -- add on to the Simple Diet Diary app, If your main goal is counting calories, this will do the job.

My main app does not seem to recognize its presence. EDIT after reply from the developer: The search button does invoke the plug-in. Upgraded to three stars to reflect my neutral opinion (so far) on the usefulness of the data itself. I installed the main app and the plug-in at the same time, and I just assumed the search button was a generic search of my entered data (which, in retrospect, would be duplicative, given the behavior of the name field). The use of a generic search icon made the plug-in TOO unobtrusive, and it was not obvious to me that the two were connected, though it makes sense after you point it out. Perhaps I failed to RTFM somewhere along the way. :) I have not tested the content of the plug-in to determine its usefulness for my situation.

Fantastic Martin, thank you for adding this. My only suggestion would be to make it more obvious that it exists. I could have used this so long ago but I just now realized that it exists!

Isn't picked up by the main app

Seems US oriented and far too complicated/detailed. I guess what I was hoping for was a comprehensive but generic list with average calorie contents.

As others say comes up with message its an add-on but then directs me to the app I already have installed. Tried installing I. Different order. Going to try the devs old app that came with add-on built in

I'm not sure what this does, every time I go to open it, it says I need the other app which I have then leads me to Google play store to open it, so not sure what this does but I'll give it fair rating when I can have a proper look, thanks

From other people's reviews below it seems that this provides some other kind of database, but everyone I try to open it it just tells me that it's an add-on. Doesn't seem to do anything at all that I can tell!

Wish there were more British foods, but the ability to search for calories of different foods is great!

The list is great, and a big help

Lots of options to choose from

Very incomplete.
