I found an awesome app that I thought some of you might like. It's called Fooducate. Basically it's a bar-code scanner. You scan whatever food it is, and it comes back and tells you if it's good or bad for you and why.

    I love it. It made me put down the salad dressing I was about to use.

    Basically it'll tell you how much of it is artificial or processed and stuff like that.

    My next phone is gonna have to be an android phone, none of these things ever get made for the blackberry, we don't even have the barcode scanner for MFP!

    I don't even use mine to it's full capability. If it wasn't for the bar code scanner I would probably go back to a flip phone. I don't really need all that fancy crap. It was cool at first, but now blah. As long as my husband and kids can text me I'm good.

    I just used it... love it. It took something in my house and said it was bad, which it was. I love the ALTERNATIVES tab. It shows 5 products which are similar but healthier. LOVE THAT for making decisions on the fly, esp with kidlets in tow! I am going to use this app like crazy.

    To the pp who wants a driod- I got mine in August, and use it a ton! I love the weather app (shows radar, which can be useful in Texas during spring storms), and use the Kindle or Nook apps daily. And I lisen to the radio on my runs. LOVE my smartphone.

    I wish I could scan in Taco Bell and watch it lose its mind.
