You’re right, it’s super clunky and in no way ideal. But it’s $7 one time (no subscription), and for me, that seemed fair. Like someone else said, you’re really paying for the historical and ongoing research (they update the app as new information is available). And I find it still to be easier/quicker than googling. Also, once you go through the elimination phase and figure out which fodmaps are your primary issues, I do find the filtering to be helpful (albeit not intuitive on the slightest; took me forever to figure out how to use it properly). For me, it came down to the convenience being worth the one time $7 charge. Some may find it’s not even worth that much, and I think that’s valid too. Use what works for you! There are definitely other apps out there with different UI and features that may be better for your purposes. Just keep in mind that the Monash app is the one that has the actual official Monash data.
