Vitamins 101 App Reviews

The information provided by this app is really outdated. Particularly information concerning fats and cholesterol. The app states that certain oils such as canola are good for you. This is incorrect, in addition, the information about vitamin A toxicity and vitamin deficiencies are incorrect. The information in this app is mainstream science from at least 50 years ago. Needs updating.

I was disappointed in the generic facts of each food. I was hoping for more of the nutritional facts as well as the benefits, for example, coconut oil has a LOT of benefits but unless you do a separate search, you wouldn't find that here.

Wow really easy to use. The food items are organized in different categories, so just select one and then the products. The best thing is beautiful pictures and description of the food. I wanted to try new foods and eat healthy as a New Years resolution. Helps me perfectly!

Quick reference at your fingertips, nice app! Will visit this often.

I know little about nutrition and supplements. There are always differing and changing opinions about what's good or bad for our health. Even the science behind healthy dieting flip-flops. This app is a good simple standard to get me started. I can choose my combinations and consult with professionals. Wish they would update to expand the lists.

Best iPad app! A must download for everyone. Very easy to use and very nice layout and tons of info

Good and easy to use

The How To Guide is entirely too small for the screen of an iPhone 5s and size can not be increased/zoomed in for ease of reading. On iPhone 5s this guide is useless.

This app is a waste of money. I was hoping to be able to at least say "I ate xx ounces of yy food" and then get RDA %. It didn't even give RDA! And the graphs are are scaled uniformly, who cares if I got 1mg of copper and 3mg of calcium.... You want to know what you're getting relative to your body's needs. This app is a borderline scam.

Information is awaome

It's not bad but hopefully the maker can add more to this app

Terrible app! Save your money! Wish I could get mine back! The most generic food nutritional forum you can find for free online. No identification of brands and or types of food or drink. Example, syrup. Do you think all of the brands and types of this product have the same nutritional statistics? Aunt Jamia vs pure maple syrup. How about beer? It gives nutritional facts on light and regular beer....really that's it? Do you think there might be a few types of beer or do they only all have the same nutritional statistics as the 2 examples shown?

Vitamin 101 helps me in choosing fruits & veggies for a good balance of minerals & nutrients for my juicing. I lost 34 lbs in 30 days, just juicing with the guidance of this app. I'm always recommending this app to friends

A must have app if you are into food!

Good for basic info.

Beautiful user interface and very informative. The very best of its kind that found.

The updates to this app have taken it from helpful to valuable! Before, the searchable database was incomplete and not scalable. Now there is the ability to search quantity, recommended serving information according to age, gender pregnancy etc. The only constructive criticism I have is regarding fonts and table size. The font isn't easy to read on a mobile device screen. I like the font, but in another type of platform. A clear crisp font, such as Times New Roman is easy to read. The table for the info guide should be larger, or able to fit to full screen when the phone or tablet is in landscape orientation. Currently, the info screen is something I need to bypass because it's too small to read, even if I put a pair of reading glasses over my new prescription glasses. :). Over all a great improvement to the original app!

A great, handy source for valuable info that meets my everyday needs without having to "wade-thru" an encylopedia of data for normal needs even for my strict diet! B J

So I work a lot but I am also trying to get my kinesiology degree! This app is perfect for anybody interested in taking care of their body, dieting, bulking, or planning to become a nutritionist! Great work by the developers!

This is a good start but I hope you will be adding more info, such as types of fat in different foods, which foods compliment each other for absorption, etc. Right now it is pretty much a glorified chart, but there is a lot of good information in there. I think it will be a handy reference. I look forward to future updates.

This app is complete and flawless!!! Great information presented very easily yet with great analysis tools. I truly find it helpful whenever I feel to go off diet as much as I do when I am on a diet - amazing educational tool for a long term results to live healthy.

I've been looking for an app with this capability. PLEASE break down the carbs to show the grams of sugar

Informative and useful.

I thought it tracked food I eat... It's just info that I can find on the Internet... Eh Save your $1.99

Health nut must have

Eating vegan these days and when I want to know the nutrient content of what I am cooking it is so handy. One fruit I noticed is missing is plantains. Over all it is laid out to be very user friendly.

Pretty nice app. I've been impressed with most everything about it, except I can't figure out how to send in suggestions for foods to add that aren't there (e.g. hominy). Show me that and you get five stars.
