Not worth the 5 seconds it took to download
Great idea for an app, but the content is too abbreviated to be useful. For example, the entry for vitamin b6 lists these sources: meat, fruits and vegetables. We already know that much. That is like saying vitamins and minerals come from food.
How about a list of specific food items, in descending order of the amount of this nutrient contained in a standard unit of measure. For example, you could list mg/ounce: summer squash xx mg, spinach xx mg, bell peppers xx mg, etc.
If you want to provide an informational ap, provide the information the consumer needs. Why would someone want this ap? They want the ap to use as a handy reference to answer questions they have as they move through the day. Alert nutritarians may overhear a conversation about a specific vitamin or mineral. It would be great to have one place to go to quickly and easily get information about why that element is important, how much the average person needs, what are the symptoms of deficiency, toxicity levels and concerns, what specific food sources provide that nutrient and how much does it provide. Of course this all available on the web and in various books, but it takes time to sift through it all.
I like the way your ap is presented with an index on the left side of the screen and one page per entry, but i am deleting it from my ipad because the content is not at all useful.
Add useful information to the pages and I would purchase it. I believe many others would also find this very useful with additional information. Tell me WHY the nutrient is needed, DEFINE daily needs, deficiency and toxicity, and WHERE can I find natural sources of this nutrient.
