Looks like you take a picture of a meal and it tells you the calories...

    I saw this and think it's insane! I can't see how it can possibly be accurate

    Judging by the screenshots in iTunes it is a load of junk. It seems to give a vague range for calories. example: Salad and Chicken Nuggets, 107 - 406 calories.

    I wouldn't waste my money on it if it is going to be that vague. And, they don't have a free version that has restricted features to enable you to "try before you buy".

    I'd be happy if they just put the barcode scanner into the iPhone app. :D

    I saw it last night and the first thing I thought was "I will never spend my money on this. It's just another meaningless Iphone App." I think it's not possible to count the calories just from a snap. There is not a free version of this app so I think they know it's a complete crap :smile: but it's just my opinion :blushing:
