Whats wrong!

Why figwee is not downloading any picture! Its not working for me since 2 days. Please fix that im a diabetic and my whole life depends on this app :(

Very informative app!

I am happy with this purchase! Sometimes I notice it freezes, or doesnt work. Please fix! I have an iPhone 6.

A Suggestion

I would suggest adding dimensions of the standard plate, glass, bowl in the pictures to help size accuracy of estimations.

Doesnt work with IOS 8.3

This app is amazing but sadly with the new IOS 8.3 update it doesnt work anymore. It wont let me type at all. PLEASE fix this glitch ASAP.

Very basic

This is a very basic app. Lots of pictures with a click through page of a bigger picture and some basic info. It freezes about 10% of the times on my ipad2. I dont like the idea of clicking on every item to see the info , some charts to compare would be helpful Update - this is actually very bad, just get a list on other web sites and cut and paste it to notes, 100 times faster, going down one star

Figweeee

Finally someone came up with an excellent visual product to help us struggling dieters from counting anywhere from calories two carbs. I am diabetic and seeing portions of the food; as well as, all of the nutrients involved is a wonderful helpmate to keeping me on track. DARN you people are smart!

Fine app, but doesnt work with keyboard

This app is quite useful, but only if it will let you type in your food! I use the SwiftKey keyboard, and Figwee wont work if I open it with that keyboard in use. Really frustrating, because the longer it takes for me to actually get the info I need from the app, the less likely I am to use it when I need it (I have type 1 diabetes and carb counting is pretty crucial). Hope this gets fixed!

PERFECT APP !

For everybody who ever eats Food, in restaurants and at home, you need this App to be healthier and live longer. Really !

So much potential...

Great app especially for diabetic people trying to count carbs and get insulin dosing right according to th amount of carbs eaten. There has obviously a HUGE amount of work put into this, the way photos have been taken of various sizes of meals (eg slide the slider up and down to add or remove roast potatoes from your plate and get the appropriate carb values). HOWEVER the app has not been updated since its 1.0 release in 2011 and seems to have quite a severe bug, which is that you cant enter anything into the search field if the phone is being used in personal hotspot mode. I tried to contact the developers through their website but never got an acknowledgement or reply. Its puzzling that such a great app would be left as abandonware effectively.

Great app

Wonderful app for counting carbs. Some foods arent available but overall does a great job for me.

A little confused on the numbers

I think its an awesome concept, showing the actual pics and the varying amounts along with the nutritional values. Im attempting to lose fat and gain muscle and its based in grams, so the rule with protein is 1 gram= 4 calories. When I look up as an example chicken breast, 170 grams adds up to 281 calories, when it should be 680 calories or roughly 70 grams depending on which is wrong.

I miss this great app. OS9 now crashes

Please fix. I Love this app but with OS9.1 it crashes as you search for a food.
