Iphone/ipod Apps

[tgrand]

I have come across an iPhone/iPod app called Celiac Feed. It's based on user contributions which can detect your location and then suggest restaurants and stores which provide gluten free options. Please consider loading it (it's FREE!) and adding the places you trust near your home. It's very easy to make recommendations, just type in the name of place and it'll give you a list of locations from which to choose and then you can offer any comments/notes to share. I have contributed for my area of Houston and now it'll be a great resource for anyone who comes to my neck of the woods. I hope others will do the same so I and others can benefit when in your area.

Also, another great app is "Is that Gluten Free?" Cost is $5.99.

Thanks for the Celiac Feed recommendation. I'll take a look. "Is That Gluten Free" has saved my butt at the grocery store a number of times. Well worth $6 IMO.

Yeah I've heard about those apps. I have a Palm phone, and so far I haven't seen any Palm apps like that. I really wish there were, because I would use it all the time!

The BEST iPod app is the "Gluten-Free Guide" by triumph dinning It's a guide (duh) that lists all kinds of food by category or search that are gluten-free! It's like 18$ but it's beyond worth it! It's the reason I bought my iPod....

*edited to add*

I forgot to mention that it doesn't require internet to use the app...

Thanks for that info. I can tell you what app NOT to get! Its called glutenScan. It's HORRIBLE!! Please don't waste your money on that one. I payed $2, and found out it was a monthly subscription, costing another $2 every month! So, I only had it for 1 month, but even THAT was a waste because it doesn't work without internet access, and what grocery stores have internet access?? If I was in Walmart and wanted to know if something contained gluten, not possible until I got home and got online. Just wanted to save anyone the money they'd waste on that app. I'm going to check out the one you just recommended though, so thanks!!

tgrand, thanks for that app!! I just got it and already added a place, and it's the ONLY place listed where I live now, which I figured, ti's a small place in Montana, but hey, I'll add whenever I can, and now people traveling through Montana can have an option! I can't wait to try this out when we travel to CO this summer!
