GoodFoodNearYou (Free)
REVIEW—”Now when someone asks you what’s close and what’s good, you’ll know!”
When most people want to know what restaurants are close to them and what’s good, they generally land on the closest fast food restaurant. That’s no bashing of fast food restaurants. They are good, yes, but good for you? That’s a different question entirely, and it’s one that GoodFoodNearYou tries to answer.
The first thing that is established is the user’s location and that’s where GoodFoodNearYou takes off. Restaurant by restaurant in close proximity is observed and then a menu of healthy options at each establishment is formed. GoodFoodNearYou tells you how far away the establishment is, and even allows users to map out the location!
GoodFoodNearYou also tells you the grams of fat, calories and carbs you will find in each item on the compiled list of healthy foods. Sound complete? Not quite.
With GoodFoodNearYou, users can even decide what they value more, distance over lowest fat of the establishment. Sometimes that’s a discussion one has to make. Fast food is usually closest so it wins, but if I’m really trying to stay healthy and feel great, then maybe I should drive the extra 2 miles to the healthiest place. That’s something you’ll have to decide for yourself, but the beauty of GoodFoodNearYou is that it gives you options, and who doesn’t like to have a choice in this world?
It’s also important to note that this app is multifaceted. It’s not only good for the area that you live in, but also travel. One thing I wish it did have is an even more specific division of food. When some people travel, specifically vegan and vegetarians, it can be really, really hard to find a place to eat something of substance.
Whether you’re heading on a road trip, just moved to a new city, or are simply trying to become a better and healthier you, than GoodFoodNearYou could be a noteworthy companion.

DEVELOPER’S NOTES
“It’s easy to swing into a fast food joint when you’re on the road with the kids, but convenient eating doesn’t have to trump sensible eating. The GoodFoodNearYou application has the same super functionality as its Web-based counterpart, offering an array of dining choices for parents with health conscious children (and for those who hope to inspire through example). Simply type in your location and you’ll be presented with scads of sides, sandwiches, and suppers from every dining destination in your immediate area.” – PC Magazine, 10 iPhone Apps for Parents ”There’s nothing worse than finding yourself in an unfamiliar location and not knowing where to score good grub that’s also good for you. This app takes all the guesswork out of it by recommending nearby healthy food options based on your current location, which is tracked via GPS. We think this one would come especially in handy during road trips or on those late nights when you’re unsure which restaurants are still open.” – Woman’s Day Magazine, 10 Top Diet and Fitness Web Apps
