If you’re like me, you’ve mentally fudged the number of calories present your favorite snacks and meals. However, if you’ve resolved to be a fitter, healthier you, it’s best that you stop estimating, and start educating yourself.

The app also provides you nutrition facts about the scanned foods, and gives you a list of health alternatives.
