    Does this app also have a history of foods that have been entered?

    No, it does not - it simply calculates point values.

    But, I am working on another app that will allow you to track the food/points you have eaten (similar to Edibles). You will also be able to save custom food items and their point value. This new app should be released in the next few weeks.

    Can it do decimals? For example if something has 2.5 grams of fat?

    I didn't add decimals because I thought people would like the simplicity of a phone-type keyboard better.

    To enter decimals you need the text-keyboard to get the period...

    However, since you requested it I might add this in an update and add a settings tab to let you choose what type of keyboard you would like. Would you like this feature?

    I just added this feature and submitted the new version to Apple. It's currently under review and should be available as soon as they approve it. (Usually a few days).

    Meanwhile, here's a screenshot of the new version: http://i35.tinypic.com/2ahe9v9.png

    Let me know if you have any other suggestions or feedback!

    does the app now allow you to save foods and their values?

    Those features are still under development. We should submit the update to Apple in a few days, so it will be live a few days after that (once Apple approves it).

    Unfortunately since this is an iPhone application, the only way to download it is through the iPhone/iPod Touch App Store and iTunes.
