Perfect Produce by SparkPeople App Reviews

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.

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.

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!

This is a wonderful app and worth every penny. Its exactly what I needed! A perfect grocery store companion. Download SparkPeoples other apps (free) as well if you are looking for tools to live a healthy lifestyle.

I love this App and would absolutely give it 5 stars if there was just one added element. I even believe adding this element would increase your subscriber base. Give us the opportunity to email a recipe to a friend. Im sure it would motivate many others to download the App! Do this and my next review is 5 stars. This App is awesome!

Just what I was looking for. Easy to use and provides very helpful info. Thanks!!

This is a wonderful app! On top of all the info you also get recipes, what a treat. Well worth the money.

Read the reviews and bought this beyond awesome app. The only thing that would make it perfect is in HD for iPad but is a very good app to have. Thanks to the reviews and to the developer.

Your Produce App is wonderful! Can you please add "Mushrooms" to your produce list? I dont know all the different varieties available at local farmers markets. I do know that mushrooms are succulent sauteed in butter with lemon juice, fresh parsley, and shallots. Thank you for a user- friendly app.

Nicely implemented. Really needs retina graphics though. Will get 5 stars once updated. Thank you for the valuable info and recipes!

This is a good app, but some of the recipes are not complete. Mainly, ingredients are missing. As many recipes that are submitted to the website I understand it is difficult to review all of them. Overall a good job.

I bought this app because I thought the recipes would tell me new ways to cook the fruit/veggies as a part of my meal. However there are very few of these, instead multitudinous recipes that have the fruit/veggie as an ingredient but few recipes where the fruit/veggie is the main ingredient. Also many of the recipes are useless as they are incomplete, no directions or cooking times. What a waste of money.

I love this app for the instructions about how to handle and store the produce. It helps me avoid waste by letting me know ahead of time how to store something and how long I can expect to keep it in the kitchen. The recipes are okay. I view them to get an idea how the item is used, but I usually dont make the recipes, opting instead to search the Internet until I find something to try. This app is handy when I stumble on an in-store special on produce Im not familiar with. I can look it up and decide if I want to try it based on description and how fussy the handling sounds. Id love to see this app expand into herbs and mushrooms. I can also envision a similar app for cheese, although I understand that such a focus might not be in the healthy Sparkpeople spirit. Thanks!

The recipes are nice but its pretty lame you cant view the produce by whats in season. and who cares about "apples"? everyone knows about those, but what about all the varieties? I wanna know when Jonagolds and Pink Ladies are in season and how they can/should be cooked and baked. Also missing lots of produce like starfruit and asian pears. Needs improvement.

I am loving this app. So well organized and helpful. Nice interface. I would like to suggest that the developers add fennel and kohlrabi to the produce listings. And I like how it gives the directions for freezing zucchini and would like to suggest that they add appropriate directions for all of the produce that freezes well. Thanks for the help in buying/storing/consuming more fresh produce!
