    how does it define 'healthy?' because there is no one food that is inherently unhealthy.

    What determines if it's healthy or not? Does the app know my calorie and macro goals? Does it track what I've eaten throughout the day to know how the food I'm about to track fits in with all the other food I've eaten?

    Is there an app that will spoon the food into my mouth for me, too?

    That is a great app! I totally agree with OP!

    Edited to add: After reading some other posts, let me state that this should NOT be the only thing you use as a tool to eat healthy. It is a fun app that gives you information about the product you scan and tells you what types of chemicals and additives you are consuming and what they are. It gives facts about the product you scan - such as how processed it is and the ingredients you should be aware of (if any), and includes comments from other people who have tried the product. Use it as a fun, informative food app.

    Thanks for posting OP!

    almost as amazing as what they deem as unhealthy I am sure. I will get the app to check for myself though.

    It's called "Open Wide," but I personally wouldn't trust it.

    Do you know what's even easier? Reading the nutrition label.

    This exactly. I'd rather read the labels of my food and decide whether *I* think they are healthy for *me*. A quick look at the amount of sugar in most granola bars is enough to tell you something--unless of course you want to eat a bunch of relatively quickly digested carbs.

    How can it know what's healthy for me without looking at my diet as a whole?

    Couldn't you just read the label?

    Looks like the "plus" one says it is free for a limited time (on iPhone), then goes back to $3.99.
