DQS Mobile App Reviews

Does what it claims. Really needs a simple feature: view a simple calendar with your DQS number in each box. The monthly graph isnt that easy to read.

I love the simple UI, and I love not having to count calories or macronutrients. There is a good amount of guidance in the app, but it really is best as a companion to Matts book. I wish there were a vegan version available!

It crashed the first day using it. Drop downs are slow and unreliable.

Save your money, could be way better but just too shallow to be of any value. Not enough categories & sub categories. My fitness pal is a much better option

The original app was great. It definitely needed to be updated to log more than one day worth of progress. I have not been able to try this one. Crashes every time I try to open it. Tried to uninstall and all the usual tricks. Still crashes. Look forward to the next update.

Definitely a great app to accompany the book "Racing weight". Love how easy it is to use!

I have great success with it. Easy & perfectly paired with book. Racing weight, here I come!

Bought into the concept. Very glad to have an app to aid in the concept. But, um, saving scores and noting trends seems a must. Hope our buying the app helps support a little more development of this obvious feature request. Waiting/hoping

Im happy to finally see this app come to the iphone, but Im not sure its ready to be out of beta. Its hardly useable; the selector for food categories, or quantities keeps getting hung up whenever I try to input my data. Please fix and Ill happily update my rating.

I like the algorithm this is based on, and I like the concepts in Racing Weight. But the app has bugs. It has lost my data several times in the last 36 hours I’ve tried to use it, continually resets to 0 and erases what I’ve logged on a given day. It also doesn’t appear to save data across multiple days for tracking purposes. Until I can get through at least 24 hours without losing data I can’t endorse it.

Cant use this app. Every time I select any of the dials to record a daily score it quickly opens then closes. Waste of $1

Cannot make it through a day. I was entering food and got the DQS to read NaN. I got rid of it by shutting down and restarting the app but then only future foods were calculated what was there was ignored. Id like to report this but see no way to do so. Not usable like this :(

The app is a nice idea. However, I receive a NaN error whenever I enter anything. Restarting and reinstalling did nothing.

Works great for calculating your DQS *BUT* only if you know what category the food goes in. Ideally, I could say "I had two slices of pizza" and it would give me the correct categories - it doesnt, I have to deconstruct the food. Id also like to see totals per meal so I can target areas that need improvement. Worth $0.99 but, I wouldnt go higher just yet.

The line about “can’t save scores” is hidden by the “show more”. Kind of elides the fact that this app is good for one day, then you have to reset everything. Useless.

I really like this app. Makes tracking food really easy. 2 things I wish it had to make it over the top. 1. Index for how to record more foods. 2. Had a way to upload workouts to this app.

If you follow the racing weight book protocol , this is your on the go companion to tracking the quality of your meals . The only changes I would make is that there is no way to categorize the points for each meal. Meaning if you didnt eat in a particular category, you cannot select the next cell over for the meal you are on . It gets very confusing as you go later in the day and for example select dairy for meal 3 but havent had any for meals 1 and 2 , it makes you select the points that would be on meal 1. Other than that its a great tool to have a general sense of where to compose your meals from and eventually do it from memory as it becomes a habit .

I really like Matts approach to diet and training. The recent update to this app makes it extremely useful. What a great improvement!

Great companion app for the racing weight program.

Great app! I wish there were an option to switch the categories for vegan/vegetarians. For now, I count non-dairy as dairy, and soy/plant protein as meat.
