"There is no phone number to call."
"Customer service has yet to email me back."

#2: Comprehensive database for food allergies

Medium Demand
"Missing even common ingredients such as green onions, not listed under scallions either."
"The food database is so limited that I find it easier to log food and notes into another app."

#3: Offline functionality

Medium Demand
"The app doesn’t work when I’m in the store due to poor service."
"Every store I go into the program stops working."

#4: Multi-device synchronization

"I have this app on 2 devices but the information doesn’t transfer from one to the other."
"I transferred to my iPad which is only wireless and then when I tried to move back to phone it failed."

#5: Ingredient barcode scanning

Medium Demand
"It would be better if there was a way of selecting the same meal you had the day before by just one click instead of having to enter in all the ingredients over and over."
"A photo-capture-to-text list of ingredients would be awesome so I am not trying to type it all out on my phone."
