Iphone Apps?

[StephHappens]

I have an older cell phone (no internet- just makes basic calls). Now that I have been diagnosed with Celiac Disease, I am considering getting an iphone so I can get an app that can help identify food when I am out. What apps do you know of? Are they good or do they have problems? Do you think it is worth it? Before I spend all that money, I want to make sure it will be worth it.

Thanks!

Yes. I have "Is that gluten free?" It was $7.99 and put off buying it, but it's been so helpful in the super market. It's probably saved me a lot of money because I don't get something home only to realize it's not safe.

I don't have the restaurant app because most of the restaurants we eat at are not chains. But it might be useful on a road trip.

I use shopwell--it's online as well a an app. You put in your food restrictions and when you are at the store you can scan or type in a food and it will rank it green is ok yellow is caution and red is not the best....if it has gluten it will have a hand in a red circle---you can also look at the ingredient and it highlights what yOu can't have--its a little stricter, meaning it will say a food isn't ok when sometimes it is, but that I better than being the opposite!

Love my I phone and I pad, great for reading these forums too. I keep a list of all those "other" terms and words for gluten on the notes app ( comes with the phone) So I can check out an unusual ingrediants listed at at glance

I also use Shopwell =) definitely worth getting an iPhone. It's as easy as scanning the bar code!
