Description

Figwee Portion Explorer is a stirring way to discover the actual calories and nutritional value in food. This app is visual, using over 28,000 photos of meticulously weighed portions. And it’s really simple. Just type a few letters to search, browse the matching photos, and then tap to select the food you want to check out. Use a slider to adjust how much is in the bowl, on the plate, or in the glass, and Figwee animates the photos and updates the nutrition information on the fly. If you use a calorie counter, and you don’t guess the portion correctly, are you getting the most out it? Figwee visually answers question like: How many calories are in a “yea high mound” of pasta? What does “4.0 ounces” of hamburger look like? How many “servings” are in the bowl of cereal I eat every day? Figwee works on iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad, in both portrait and landscape, and requires either a 3G or WiFi network connection. The Figwee Portion Explorer is not in itself a calorie counter, nutrition tracker, or a weight loss system, but is great when used in conjunction with them. Figwee also does not have a bazillion items trying to cover all of the brands on the planet. Figwee is simple and visual by design. If you type apple, steak, wine, bread, breakfast, cheese, or any one of 1500 other of the most common foods, you’ll find exactly what you need…quickly. If you are serious about counting calories or evaluating nutrition, the most important thing to get right is the portion. Figwee: Learn. Have Fun. Enjoy.

Schön, aber Amerikanisch

Amoyensis · 15 years ago · v1.0

Geniale App, der Nutzen ist für Europäer aber etwas eingeschränkt. Bis z.B. geräucherte Forelle oder Blaukraut, Seelachs und Knusprige Ente dabei sind, verdiente 4 Sterne.

Missing something

Soupiemcsoup · 15 years ago · v1.0

Would have given 5 stars but quickly realized the items do not say what they contain so the whole program breaks down, I.e. How can I reliably use the information about a roast beef sandwich when i dont know if it includes mayo or cheese or not. Once the app contains the ingredients for those type of items it will be useful, too bad because alot if effort went into it elsewhere

Fantastic app

Tuneheffey · 15 years ago · v1.0

This is the best diet helper app that I have ever seen. Diets always use some obscure way of figuring out serving sizes, but this app uses pictures of the food in different portion sizes. Great idea and it works flawlessly.

Really eye opening

PadmeSkywalker · 15 years ago · v1.0

Great app. I find it much more useful to see photos rather than try to visualize what a cup of a given ingredient looks like. Very easy to scale a portion up or down.

Excellent

Zack Slater · 14 years ago · v1.0

Great app.

Vraiment pratique

Jeanjrl · 12 years ago · v1.0

Cette application permet de vraiment bien visualiser les portions et les calories. Si ce nétait de quelques petits bugs mineurs, je lui aurais donné une note parfaite. Dun glissement de doigt, on peut facilement ajuster les portions et visualiser en temps réel ce que ça donne dans lassiette, tout en sachant le nombre de calories associées. Un nouveau compagnon pour ma planification de repas hebdomadaire!

Old and lacks info

sighh- disappointed · 10 years ago · v1.0

Inadequate. The app concept and photos are neat...but...this app is old and needs updated badly. There is only a small variety of foods in here, and the search function doesnt seem to work. I wouldnt recommend paying for this app in its current state. It needs updated/expanded badly, and I doubt some of the carb values too (e.g. the soft tacos).
