Pros and cons of Perfect Produce by SparkPeople app for iPhone and iPad

Perfect Produce by SparkPeople app good for

Spark where have you been all my life? I love this app cuz it encourages me to try something other than the staples for produce plus it has ideas on what to make with them. Love it!
The information in the app is quite handy to have. The design needs an update, especially resizing the user interface with higher res icons and formatting the screens for the new larger iPhones.

Some bad moments

There is a lack of information in this app, you can walk into any grocery store and find about 100 different fruits & vegetables that are not listed in this app, example being they list one type of orange, one apple. There are very little herbs listed. What about exotic fruits?? Please update with more items.
This app is very incomplete, I bought it hoping I could search for "carbs" or "protein" and have recommendations but it will only allow you to search for fiber, vitamins and minerals.
Big help since I like to try new fruits and veggies. Recipes a great surprise, Im always wanting to add variety for my family.
I just downloaded this app and am already impressed. I love that there is seasonal information as well as recipes. Also, the larger pictures of the produce are nice. What would I add? Maybe a map that shows where the produce is grown in season. Also, I would add some more obscure produce that is used in other cuisines - for example, lychees or pumelo. Also, I would add information on varieties. For example, there are many different types of plums and I always have trouble remembering the characteristics of each type. All in all, though, a great app with great information.
This is so helpful when Im trying to pick the best produce at the grocery store. I never knew how to get a great pineapple until now. And, its encouraged me to try other stuff in the produce section that Id never tried before because I didnt know how to pick it or what to do with it. Thanks again, SparkPeople, for another great app!
Having tools like this at my finger tips really gives me the edge! Success is easy when you can identify produce and gain instant access to hundreds of recipes for that item. Pair this with the sparkpeople food tracker (free) and you have two amazing apps for 1.99 that will help you live healthier. My family loves the variety of healthy foods that have all come from sparkpeople. This is a great addition! Thank you!
