Estimated revenue

A model estimate with a likely range, not a reported figure.

No estimate. Apps outside the grossing charts, and some countries, have no reliable rank-to-revenue curve, so we show nothing rather than a guess.

How this estimate is made

Rank: we take the app's best Top Grossing rank on the latest chart day. Category ranks are converted into an equivalent overall rank, because a #10 in Finance earns far less than a #10 overall.

Curve: that equivalent rank is read off a rank-to-revenue curve anchored on public company revenue and market-data reports for the US iPhone App Store.

Country: the curve is scaled per country (Japan is roughly a third of the US, Türkiye under 1%). Where we have no scale, such as China, there is no estimate.

Range: the likely range widens with country, category and chart depth. It is a plausible span, not a statistical confidence interval.

Not included: ads, payments outside the App Store, and any difference between gross sales and what the developer keeps. Low confidence means indirect data; medium means several independent sources agree.

Know what’s really in your food.

FoodGauge is an AI-powered food scanner that helps you understand food products and meals in seconds. Simply take a photo of your food, packaging, or ingredient label and get a clear, personalized breakdown of what you’re eating.

Whether you’re grocery shopping, checking a new snack, or wondering what’s in your meal, FoodGauge turns confusing food labels into simple insights.

SCAN FOOD WITH YOUR CAMERA

What’s new

Release notes for the latest version, as written by the developer.

v1.1.4

NEW:
Instant Barcode Scanner: Point your camera at any grocery barcode for sub-second product recognition. If a barcode isn’t in the global registry yet, FoodGauge seamlessly transitions to smart label analysis so you never miss a scan.
Live FDA Recall Alerts: Get instant, real-time alerts for FDA recalls, contamination risks (Listeria, E. coli), and undeclared allergens before dangerous food reaches your kitchen table.
Smarter Healthier Alternatives: Upgraded with 50+ verified healthy product swaps with authentic brand packaging. Scan any item—whether it’s chips, sodas, chocolates, or cereal—and instantly see healthier, clean-ingredient alternatives within the exact same category.
Your personal grocery aisle sidekick just got even better.

In this update, we’ve fine-tuned the FoodGauge engine so you can continue scanning, analyzing, and transforming your diet with absolute confidence. We know how overwhelming grocery shopping can be, which is why we’ve optimized our core scanning technology to be faster, smarter, and easier to understand right when you need it most.

Here is what we’ve improved to help you eat cleaner:

Lightning-Fast Food & Barcode Scanning
Standing in the grocery aisle shouldn't involve waiting for an app to load. We’ve supercharged our AI nutrition scanner to deliver instant, real-time ingredient breakdowns the second your camera focuses on any barcode or nutrition label.

Deeper Ingredient Transparency
Food labels are designed to be confusing—FoodGauge is built to make them crystal clear. We’ve enhanced our detection engine to spot hidden chemical additives, sneaky added sugars, artificial dyes, and inflammatory seed oils even faster. No more guessing what "maltodextrin," "potassium bromate," or "soy lecithin" means for your metabolic health.

Smarter Health & Nutrition Scores
We’ve refined our personalized food rating system. Now, your customized red, yellow, and green indicators adapt even more seamlessly to your specific dietary goals—whether you’re eating clean, going keto, avoiding gluten, managing food allergies, or eliminating ultra-processed foods (UPFs).

A Cleaner, 100% Ad-Free Experience
Your health decisions should never be interrupted by noisy banner ads or cluttered screens. We’ve polished the interface so finding clean food swaps remains pure, private, and 100% focused on your health.

Why are thousands switching to FoodGauge?
Because we believe you deserve to know exactly what you are putting into your body. We don’t just give you a number—we explain the why behind every single ingredient so you leave the grocery store feeling empowered, not confused.

Squashed minor bugs and polished UI transitions to keep everything running as smooth as a freshly blended green smoothie.
