Monash FODMAP Diet

I recently downloaded the app that was a FREE download but was charged later that day for $7.99 after only browsing the app once. I requested a refund from Apple for this unprompted charge and am waiting for a response.

So this app could so easily be fixed I want to scream. It’s like whoever made it never went grocery shopping. You know what would be fantastic? Make a section in filtering for the app of what you CANNOT eat when you’ve know which carbs your sensitive too. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to have an extensive complete list of what not to eat for sorbitol. But instead this app basically is set up so I have research any item I will ever be interested in eating and slowly have my soul get crushed when I have to find out piece by piece what I cannot eat. Why would you not give people more options for filtering???? It’s honestly disgusting considering this is a paid app

I really appreciate this app and feel it is super worth it for the diary function and cross examination of foods. The concept is unique and insanely helpful. It could use a lot of work in terms of streamlining, helping us understand data, and being more accommodating/accurate. I’ll list some of my observations below and would always be happy to give ux/ui feedback in the future via email. -Female health: the female body is very different than the male body. Depending k my cycle, I need completely different things, have higher malabsorption rates, and different sets of motility symptoms. Incorporating this would be a game changer and differentiate you from other sources -Data analysis: it would be great to be able to cross compare symptoms, and have an analysis drawn by the app from different foods. Also, this would be made much easier by adding a drop down feature for choosing food in meals, instead of just writing it. -The landing page is awkward, could use some testing and redesign to know what users need quickly in the service flow -Add widgets for iPhone!

Got the app mainly for the listing of food products that are safe and certified but found that 98% of the products are only sold in Australia Japan and Italy, practically nothing listed available in the USA.

If you are going to charge for an app at least try. This is no more than a list. They have a total of 8 breakfast recipes. Most include cheese or milk. One is just “jam” which is strawberries and sugar.

Overall the app is good. Team actually updates the app + fixes bugs (thank you!) I find navigating the foods a bit cumbersome at times (things aren’t normalized well, missing foods, etc.) I’ve been using this app a little over a year, plan on continuing to use it.

While there is some good information in this app, it’s basically just a list. No ability to check anything. No barcode scan. No sort feature. Under L”Snacks” there are a bunch of international entries I will never encounter and I cannot remove them. Get another app. I will be requesting a refund.

Not fun to navigate, missing a lot of foods, especially US brands I’ve noticed, search function could use some work. Expected more recipes and features for the price tag. But, I appreciate that I can always trust what you guys say on the foods that are listed. There is so much conflicting information on google and it is nice to have a nice go-to spot for a simple answer.

This was not worth the cost to download the app. It’s not very helpful and I feel like the same information can be found with a quick (and free) google search. The presentation is poor and it would be helpful to have common products and brands listed. I searched a variety of products and rarely did I find a product on the list. All in all there are better apps/better web search options to help.

Unsure if any of the information is reliable as under “food guide” they have “broccoli heads only, raw” listed twice — once as green and once as red at the exact same measurements. Super frustrating, especially in a paid app.

Learning about fodmaps changed my life. I’m so grateful for the work done by Monash. The app though…..is not built that well. The data is shown one food at a time, so it’s hard to understand the big picture of which foods affect you. There’s the option to make a favorites list that helps a little, but it’s still not very good. I contacted Monash for the data as a spreadsheet so that I could sort and filter. They said no. Grateful for the data. Irritated by the presentation.

I’ve been trying a few of the free fodmap apps and this one is only barely better than the free ones. There are a few extra food items in the database and the diary for tracking food and triggers is a good idea. It would be a great idea if there was a link between searching for a particular food and being able to add it into your diary from that search. The recipes have been useless. There’s photos of the recipe but if you click on it, the app freezes entirely. So, there was promise here but I may as well have stuck with the free apps.

This app is very convenient when looking at foods, but the recipe tab always freezes the app. I

Food searches not very helpful and less recipes than anticipated. I had higher hopes for the Monash app based on their website and physical cookbook. Not impressed with purchasing the app. Save your money and use free resources.

Reason why I got this app was for the recipes and they don’t even open! Waste of money!

I think this app is grossly overrated and not user friendly at ALL. Evidently it’s supposed to be the best but I need a tutorial, I guess, because I’m just going in circles trying to verify if what I want to eat is low-FODMAP friendly and getting nowhere—but HUNGRY.

Can’t get recipes to come up at all!!!!!!!! I’m not satisfied!!!!!!

Good for basic fruits & veg as you’re learning, but anything else? Forget it. The library is not extensive and as other reviews have pointed out, not useful in the USA.

I used this app for years to log in my symptoms. The diary went back several years. I used it often to go over with my doctor. Today I open the app and after the update they erased the years of my diary that I have been relating on. I’m devastated. Thanks for the heads up.

Eating fodmap free foods definitely helps my IBS. There are some foods I wish they had, but they are constantly adding new foods to the database every month.
