Pros and cons of iBless Food app for iPhone and iPad

iBless Food app good for

For me personally - I dont think I will come across and food on a typical day and not know its Bracha/Blessing (quite a limited group of foods :) ) - but I think the quiz mode is great - to get kids and adults to learn the Brachot - We already had a family quiz night on the I-touch So if you need help figuring out Brachot and or you want to have really cool "Ipod Brachot Flash Cards" I think it is a great prodcut.
Great. Does both the jobs I need. I can double check the blessing on any food that I (or my family) may be unsure. Also gives my kids a chance to play a useful and educational game. Keep it up!
I was amazed at the wide variety of foods featured. I couldnt find anything that they missed. I also really liked the audible brachot, especially the birkat hamazon which sounds like it was done by a whole bunch of people actually benching. rir
It would be very helpful to also have the English translation of each prayer, so one could understand what one is saying, and to be able to learn the differences (in English) among the various types of food blessings. It would also be helful to learn WHY a particular food belongs in a certain category (for example, why the blessing for tomato is ha-adama, when it grows on a vine, and why the blessing for grapes is ha-etz, when it clearly grows on vines).
What would be a nice feature would be a way fir me to add my own foods for example: a nature valley bar, or a specific kind of foof , or even a family dish. This would be very useful and this way you wouldnt have to constantly update the app with new foods we would just simply add them ( and also english translations of the brachos) thank you
Just needs English with the pronunciation and it would be perfect.

Some bad moments
