Review summary

Overall, reviewers praise Pitaya as a lifesaver and a valuable, easy-to-use tool for ARFID that helps track foods, provides helpful descriptions and photos, and facilitates sharing progress with clinicians and family. Common requests focus on improving the food list organization, adding personal/custom foods, and adding features like optional journaling, reminders, and more nuance for uncertain foods. The app is highly regarded, with room for practical feature improvements.

Pros

A lifesaver and highly valuable tool for ARFID, helping users manage and reflect on their food lists.
Helpful for collaborating with dietitians and therapists; supports sharing progress and explanations with providers.
Easy to use and straightforward to build and manage a growing list of foods.
Descriptive entries with photos that help users understand and decide about foods.
Ability to export/share lists with others and use GOAL/tracker features to monitor exposure and progress.

Cons

Disorganized food list makes it hard to find items; navigation can feel cluttered.
Lack of ability to add custom foods not currently listed in the app.
Option to mark a food as a journal entry should be optional.
Missing reminders/notifications for goals and progress tracking.

2026-05-12	Pl*****	I hope you can offer categories to easily find items to limit mental overwhelm. We should be apple to add our own items without requests. Would like to add photos of our food to the item we create as visual support.

2025-12-09	Hi*****	It’s great to finally see some sort of tool dedicated to tackling ARFID especially considering how much it’s ruined my life thus far. That said, the structure of the list of foods is incredibly disorganized, and its longevity makes it harder to find anything. Yes there’s a search function, but I myself am trying to fill the list and it’s a mammoth task. I also don’t particularly like the fact that marking a food puts it on the food journal; I think this could be useful to some people but I think this should be optional. Regardless, thanks for making this app because it’s such a valuable resource.

2025-06-10	al*****	i am a big fan of the pitaya app! as someone with arfid, it is really great to have this app that includes a variety of foods that are challenging and others that are safe for me. i would love if i had the ability to add foods that aren’t listed on the app as not all of my like foods/tolerate foods/uncertain foods/dislike foods/restrictive foods are included in the app. i also go through phases where i may like to try a more specific food (ex: apples with cinnamon vs. just an apple / just cinnamon) and would appreciate it if i had the opportunity to also type in the food i want to try (along with the foods i like/restrictive/etc.) i do really enjoy and appreciate this app and am so glad that i found it and that it is available and free! i highly recommend this app for those with arfid as it’s a great tool to reflect where you are in terms of food and it helps a lot in social situations such as going out with friends to a restaurant. 😊thank you to the creator, it’s an excellent tool for me!

2025-04-08	Yo*****	I can’t say how incredibly wonderful and thoughtful this checklist is! Helps me track the foods my ARFID kid consumes and which he restricts/avoids all together. Very helpful when talking to Drs. and therapists. Love the GOAL section with a tracker for how many times a food is tried!
