User Reviews

Really good for choosing food whilst slimming great tool

lo*****, 2025-01-21

Useful when it actually KNOWS about an item, but ther's still a hell of a lot missing. And the option to add something seems to have either been removed or very well hidden, so willing volunteers can't make it more useful.
