Based on this App’s description I was really excited to try it.  It is designed to help you make better choices when buying pre-packaged foods at the grocery store.  The App starts by having you fill out a quick personal profile based on age, gender, your health goals and any food intolerances or allergies you may have.  I listed my main goal as eating balanced meals with preferences for fiber, whole grains and vitamin C.  I also listed that I wanted to avoid refined and processed sugars.

Perks:  The main feature is that while shopping, you can scan the bar code of a product and the App will give it a rating based on how the nutritional content fits in with your health goals and in comparison to other products.  If the cereal you chose got a failing grade, it will suggest other products and brands with better nutritional contents.

Peevs:  I am a food label nut so this had me super excited.  PROBLEM: the App only works with US barcodes.  I discovered this only after two failed attempts to use it at the store and after trying to scan every box of food that I could find in my kitchen.  Nothing would scan and it kept telling me that it ‘could not find the product code that I was looking for’.  A bit of online research later revealed that Canadian and American bar codes are different and that the App does not recognize the Canadian codes.

Overall Rating (Worth Keeping or Deleting?):

DELETING.  It has amazing potential but is of no use to anyone above the 49^th parallel unless you tend to do a lot of cross border grocery shopping.
