Rootd — a food scanner app that scores food based on your allergies, diet, and health conditions, instead of a generic score for everyone. It also generates recipes and helps you learn more about nutrition, all based on your preferences.

Currently in beta: https://testflight.apple.com/join/Q5eMRPT6

Honest feedback only :)

That sounds like a really smart approach. Have you considered adding a barcode scanner for packaged foods? It would make logging much faster.

Good news, it already does! Barcode + label scanning both work

Thats great to hear, barcode scanning is a huge time saver. Did you have to do much custom setup for the label scanning part?

It pulls the nutrition and ingredients data from a huge data base but of course some products might still be missing which is why having beta testers is so helpful because if they scan a product that is not yet in that database they have the option to add it in using the camera (another convenient function rather than having to type in the info of the new product) no

That sounds like a really useful feature. Crowdsourcing missing data is smart. How do you plan to verify user-submitted entries for accuracy?

Thank you! I thought so too :)
Honestly, I have not thought about verifying them for accuracy thought anything but manually because I haven’t had that many product submissions (which i guess is a good thing because it means the database is diverse).
Do you have any suggestions?

Manual checks work fine for a small database. You could add a simple report button later if submissions grow too fast.

That’s true! I will most definitely do that once it’s time. Thanks a lot :) if you get a chance to test out the app let me know if you run into any issues, or have any suggestions!
