- quantity = allows changing quantity
- timestamp = includes detailed to the minute timestamps
- export = allows exporting to file like CSV. Likely missed transfer through 3rd party aggregation.
- Ordered by these three features because they are critical to QS.
- notes = manually entered text field that allows writing down custom information and features. For example how tasty the food was, or where it was bought, or what brand of generic food was purchased.
- offline = does not require connection to internet for some or almost all of their features to work.
- Price = Apps can require continuous payment (such as MFP requiring 40$ per year), one time upfront cost, free and one is even open source. The amount of features walled off from non paying users also varies.
- O = Open Source
- F = Free
- /y = per year.
- search = search by name
- fave/recent = can repeat or rank in search based on popular/recent
- barcode = can find food by scanning barcode (requires online connectivity)
- detailnutrition = Detail of nutrition tracked varies between apps as some track just macronutrients while others go into greater detail.
- serv.choiceselect = Some apps use user contributions to populate their database of foods while others use formal databases like USDA.
- customfood = Some apps do not allow entering custom foods!
What the letters mean.
