Pros and cons of mySymptoms Food Diary app for iPhone and iPad

mySymptoms Food Diary app good for

The app is very easy to use. Im listing everything I eat in advance of my appointment with a dietitian and the app makes recording every ingredient much faster. I havent tried its other features yet in helping me identify culprit foods, but they look promising. Im pleased with my purchase.
its the only app, which provides both, food and symptoms, and it works just fine, as described..
It offers a simple and straight forward way to determine causes for allergies. It is easy to use and doesnt lag. I am glad I spent the few bucks. Thanks.
Really happy with this App.! Easy to use and a great help to figure out food intolerances!
This is an awesome app. If you need to keep track of your food because you might have a food intolerance or an allergy, this is what you want to have. You can keep track of your food, your symptoms, medication etc. It has a big database with a lot of stuff already but you can also easily create new items. This makes writing your food diary very quick and easy. Additionally, you can create a pdf of your diary to print it and give it to your doctor.
Great app, really helpful. Its easy to keep track of my meals and find out about possible reasons for any discomfort I may have :) The only app I have spent money on so far and I can say it was worth it!

Some bad moments

If you want to spend an hour a day going thru the minutia of your meals and poop this is the app for you. far from intuitive, this app requires a level of patience and detail that makes it totally impractical to use, guess Iam back to good old pen and paper
where is the icloud sync? lost alll my data doing an iphone restore!
App would be great if the saving recipes, food, Workouts could work ! The organizer doesnt work at all !
Despite being spammed almost daily, I have waited a couple weeks to try to give a fair review. The app is great for recording everything (except for some confusion with duplicate items) but you really have no idea if it is useful for determining the cause of anything. The app doesnt explain what to do.
There are a lot of good ideas here but this app falls short primarily on its extraordinarily complex and non-standard input interface. And, frankly I couldnt understand its analysis/results screen despite reading the help page on how to interpret it twice. I agonized with this app for about 7 weeks before giving up. I dont understand the need for all the input options. Instead of 7 food/drink input options there should be 3, food, drink, medicine. I dont see how it helps differentiating by the name of the meal. All that should be relevant is the time. For symptoms, the time is difficult to input. You should be able to put in a start and end time. But, no, this app insists on a start time and a duration, forcing me to do math each time. Symptom durations are arbitrarily limited to 24 hours. Sometimes my primary symptoms lasted longer than 24 hours. The sheer number of Inputs requires for one food item is astounding. I understand that detail can be important but it usually isnt. This app forces you through too many detail screens for each input. When adding a new item or ingredient if you press done the new item is deleted. Instead you are supposed to scroll down and click add new item. What the? Why cant done mean done. If the user wants to cancel there should be a cancel option. These are just a few of the apps shortcomings. It is a great idea but it truly needs a complete UI overhaul focused on efficient entry. And the analysis screen needs to be comprehensible. Otherwise whats the point!
Ive been looking for a good app to start recording my daily food intake. Sadly this app is so cumbersome to input food. Not to mention the lack of room for details is pitiful. Its is not worth purchasing.
