Installed on my iPhone. And gave it a go:
I like -
- No sign up required (on free version) simply grab and go
- neat UI and easy to use out of the box
I don't like -
- the ads, never like the ads :)
- it won't really change my habits
I see the simple approach you've gone for and it may work for some. However, people don't have an idea of what's healthy and what's not, or rather, they have the wrong idea of what's healthy. For e.g. a KFC meal to share is 1200 Kcals so one argues going for a rice box is a healthier option (at 600 Kcals with tonnes of salt and sodium). Perception of healthy is broken. FULL DISCLOSURE: I prefer the 1200 Kcals option.
I think you need to put some stats around what we are putting in our body. I would love to have a bit more in the app - but a lot less than what MyFitnessPal crams into its app. Take this as an SOS from those of us who want a simpler diet tracking app.

Thanks for the valuable inputs @freeman_faiz
Ads do affect the look and feel of the app. So we went with a small banner ad just on the home screen which is removed in the premium upgrade.
If someone finds it difficult to differentiate between healthy/unhealthy, it would indeed be difficult to take a decision at the end of the day; and the worst would be entering healthy days for unhealthy ones. Right now, for those we recommend following a rough meal plan (probably from some dietician) and if followed perfectly; put a tick, else cross or double cross.
I have noted down your suggestions. We will work on making the app more useful and help people have a healthy lifestyle.
