Glycemic Index Load Net Carbs Reviews

I don't know about you, but I hate being manipulated, and GlycemicIndexLoadNetCarbs has one sneaky, bait and switch app-store description.

Allow me to preface the following with this: I don't mind paying for a good/better app. Do it all the time. But, the developer for this thing must be a former E.A. smartphone game developer because they're charging TWO separate $2 in-app purchases for features they've conveniently implied come with the free one; They buried the required purchase part after the main first paragraph where it implies the features come free. You gotta be really paying attention to catch it.

Now, I admit that $4 isn't braking the bank, especially for a good app. GlycemicIndexLoadNetCarbs might be good after you've gone through the process of buying all the features needed, but I ain't rewarding them for their deceptive practices.

I wish I could get my money back. The paid version of GlycemicIndexLoadNetCarbs is completely confusing, even after watching the tutorial video (tip to the developers: maybe add voice over, some zoom in’s and slow it down so we can actually see what you’re doing?). It wasn’t a lot of money but this was still one of the most pointless app purchases I’ve ever made. Save your money and look elsewhere, or just stick with the free version.

GlycemicIndexLoadNetCarbs is useless to me, an American, since portion size is measured in grams. GlycemicIndexLoadNetCarbs doesn’t even say it is talking about the weight of the food, but I assume that is what the gram measurement is for. Americans don’t know grams of items. That’s one more step we’d have to take a ride over to the internet for...who’s got time for that on each item they are considering. Most food apps use portion size (1 apple) (1 slice of white bread), not weight. But if they use weight the ounce/pound system would be an option. And there would be an option for half an apple.

I tried watching the videos but they did not elucidate matters either.

GlycemicIndexLoadNetCarbs looks fine otherwise if you don’t mind working in grams.

I previously had a different version of a glycemic index reference which was much better. This program is terrible. It lacks eg milk, yogurt/yoghurt, peas etc etc. For something as common as sweet potato it had only "raw sweet potato"-- yes, how it is cooked changes the G.I.

I would have consider buying the $1.99 version but half of the items I was looking for were missing! The 2Stars are for a fair graphic environment and mostly correct spelling of the words (1 star each). TIP from George W: Potato is spelled like that-- not "Potatoe".

If you want to make two dollars on an app by throwing together data, please make sure that your database is more expansive than this "Health Magazine article fold out" data dump.

I just downloaded and spent almost an hour making an effort to download my minimal breakfast and lunch knowing nothing about GL but wanting to learn.

I easily found that an egg has no GL. The problem started when I tried to find my fresh veggie juice. I found juice of beets but nothing about celery, cucumber, parsley which I juice regularly for inflammation. Ok, that’s an unusual request, I get it, so I moved on to my salad and typed in romaine....nothing. So I typed in lettuce and found only green leaf. Ok, so maybe they’re similar. I’ll choose that. Wait I can’t figure out my portion in cups? The only option is grams.....who uses grams in America? I don’t even want to consider trying to find the ingredients for my homemade salad dressing.

I’m out!

To unlock the other features like food diary. Like someone eles said - searched romaine only got “lettuce- leafy green”, tomato comes “tomato, orange raw” then when it comes to portion - the only options are: 100, 20, 345.2, 123 and 32 grams”.
None of this means *anything* to me and there’s no settings option to change to cups or ounces.
Wasted $9 for nothing. When I tried to contact dev through app from “make a suggestion” it doesn’t even open.
Very Very disappointed with GlycemicIndexLoadNetCarbs & wish I could get my money back.

You have to choose between ounces and grams for your food servings, and the same setting will decide whether you use pounds or kg for your weight setting. The problem with this is that either I have to convert my weight to kg every day, or I have to under- or overreport my food servings, as there's no decimal to indicate part of an ounce (though apparently the standard serving size is 3.53 oz). Also, I cannot see the food I've uploaded to my consumption diary.

I like this a lot but It’s the only app I have used for GI and GL. So can’t really compare it. What would make it better is to have the veggies in GI AND GL when cooked. For someone like me, just learning about it this would help. From a user friendly POV In Order to use the search you need to click or touch your screen like 3-4 times before you can start typing. So that’s a little much. That would be a well received change!!

GlycemicIndexLoadNetCarbs was okay, I was hopeful and went ahead and paid for the year however when I got inside GlycemicIndexLoadNetCarbs , the lists of foods are limited. I found out I had to put in the foods I am accustomed to eating. There are no meats, chickens, or anything like this to choose from...which are consumed by many daily. If the food lists contained more of the everyday food people eat I would have kept GlycemicIndexLoadNetCarbs .
It’s hard enough being diabetic on its own let alone having to enter in your own food, find out the GI, how much it weighs etc so that it could be entered. that’s too much work for an app you pay for. I was hopeful sorry I had to cancel. 😓

This is a great app, amazing that it seems only one person has made it. There is a bit of ease of use that could be tweaked (ie when you click the “+” icon it’d be nice if the cursor immediately was in the search bar, instead of having to click in the search bar to type).

While there are a lot of options for foods to search, it’d great to have more, but I’m sure it takes time to build this kind of database.

Pros: fairly easy to use and record/track GI and GL, pleasant colors, premium version relatively inexpensive.

Kind of a con, but...: although advertised “free,” to get much use out of it, you’ll want to subscribe to the “premium” version, but it’s a super nominal fee (at least when I subscribed).

Con: needs a lot more in its database to help track more worldwide diets

I liked GlycemicIndexLoadNetCarbs very much , but if I could not scan the products like other app (Fooducate , carb manager etc) .
2. The weight , how many oz, gram is a portion of bread which make it easier and friendly.
How many gram is 1 pita , I need to source this info in order to get the exact GL.
How many gram is plum,pasta
The only reason that I am not subscribed is looking for the right product and the right weight is not possible .
GlycemicIndexLoadNetCarbs does not help to ease the process, it is a pre determined list which is really a big flaw.
I’d rather pay a little bit more for a complete list and exact weight .

Why provide a paltry, vastly incomplete list of foods in the first place if the MO is to use the the search tool? This should be made clearer. I suppose the list only exits to provides examples. It took the developer’s reply to my first 2 star review to figure it out.

I like GlycemicIndexLoadNetCarbs very much, except that I can’t sync data between iPhone and iPad on one Apple account. (Not family sharing) GlycemicIndexLoadNetCarbs shows subscribed on both devices and all premium features are active, but data only registers on one device. I’m hoping the data entered on one device will show up on the other. I signed out and logged back in to Apple ID but no change. Hope you can help, Rafal. Cheers.

Don’t pay for GlycemicIndexLoadNetCarbs!!!! I paid to get the premium app. I was charged for it, yet about two weeks later it stopped working and told me my annual subscription had expired and I needed to renew!! I tried contacting their Help email address, and the email address was bad. They now have my money, I have no premium service, and I have no way of contacting them. USELESS....

Accessing the Gluten Load data requires paying upgrade fee, but is worth it. Has lots of data and nice features. Tap filters on and off at the bottom of the table make browsing the table more useful, and the search feature is quick.

It does exactly what I want it to do. Initially, I had some trouble getting the free trial, but I emailed the developer and a quick and very helpful response. They kept working with me until everything worked to my satisfaction.

Very easy to use and has a lot of products. One time purchase which is nice. Has additional informational tools and links to sites. Like the meal calculator so can plan your day.

This has been a major help in organizing my new health problems and keeping my testing results organized! I when to the Doctor yesterday and showed her my test results on GlycemicIndexLoadNetCarbs and she was so impressed! She wanted to share with other older patients. Thanks you so much!!

Perfect for quick reference if you have glucose problems. I look at GlycemicIndexLoadNetCarbs many times everyday to see if I can eat various things. The glycemic load part is also very useful.

Just learned that I have diabetes and was looking for apps to help me. GlycemicIndexLoadNetCarbs is a wonderful tool to help me control my diabetes. I was looking for the best and stumbled upon this one. It has been a great tool for me to keep track of my blood pressure and my blood glucose. I absolutely love it.

Just got GlycemicIndexLoadNetCarbs with the advance features. It looks promising but there is nothing I can find that tells you HOW to use it! Videos do me no good at all as the pictures are too small to see, the music is annoying and it’s not explaining to me HOW to enter my meals or how to use GlycemicIndexLoadNetCarbs !! FAQ is no help, there is no place to ask for help and no instructions that I can find!! Please help!

I was able to get the tables for a while, now nothing works any more. It suddenly shows only three foods and now they are gone, too. This is tot ally useless.
Also while it still worked, it was cumbersome to have to go back to the top of each category when trying to see all three values for one item.
This is now totally useless to me, waste of money.

In my opinion, certain foods, drinks and the like could be broken down into more specific indexes. Additionally, more foods could be added. Other wise, I am very pleased with this application. If you would like to discuss this let me know.

GlycemicIndexLoadNetCarbs is perfect for checking the GI of various food items: quick and clear interface, great variety of foods, and makes checking easy! Recommended.

cutting back on carbs and sugar and GlycemicIndexLoadNetCarbs is really helpful. i question the glycemic load it shows for cola, but i stay away anyway so it’s ok for me. overall excellent.

I needed something simple to understand and easy to work as I began my life of living with diabetes. GlycemicIndexLoadNetCarbs has help me tract my needs in order to be more in control.
