UX Pain Points

Design and usability issues driving negative reviews.

Manual data entry required for basic tracking

Users must manually look up and enter fiber amounts for every food, making the app no better than a spreadsheet

"If you are looking for a free fiber tracker, this app is no better than making your own spreadsheet. You have to look up your own info for each food and enter it in manually."

Repetitive food entry

No memory of previously entered foods forces users to retype common items repeatedly

"it is very inconvenient to add to the favorites list. I wish there was an option to click an already input food item as a favorite instead of having to completely retype items in"

App doesn't deliver core functionality

Apps marketed as fiber trackers fail to actually track fiber amounts

"Doesn't track fiber amount"
