About food pH - Is your food acidic?

Using figures provided by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), this app provides you with quick access to the pH values for 450+ foods.

For medical or nutritional reasons (ie acid/alkaline diet), many individuals choose to avoid foods that are acidic. food pH is a simple application wrapped around a simple database. Originally made as a favor to a friend, I am releasing this app free and free of ads. My only aim is to provide you with on-the-go access to food pH data.

App Features:
- Quickly search the database based on full or partial matches
- Database constructed from Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition data
- No internet connection required
- No special permissions -- your data is safe
- Incorporates Holo design elements for an experience that is 100% Android

What are users saying about food pH - Is your food acidic?

K70%
by K####:

It measures it before it is digested. Not accurate at all.

N70%
by N####:

Also contradicts other ph tables i have seen so dont know what believe.

S70%
by S####:

This app seems half finished. The database of foods is limited; most protein sources are missing, including any animal protein. More bewildering are the pH values, which have no reference point to use for comparison. What does it mean if a food is a 3.0 compared to a 6.0? There's no objective range between base and acid, so none of the values are helpful for me.

S70%
by S####:

The database needs to grow, but from what I have seen so far, the reported pH levels are accurate and are not confused with misrepresented alkaline levels. Unfortunately, there has been no update of its first release in 2013 so I am not hopeful that we will see any improvements.

F70%
by F####:

Tip: Choose 'select all' instead of typing in a specific food, then search/scroll alphabetically because some items are listed strangely. Helpful, but hoping they keep this list updated because, so far, many basic foods are missing.

M70%
by M####:

Values look right, wish for a larger food list

S70%
by S####:

Every Food in the database is acidic, even Kale..

S70%
by S####:

Very limited range of foods. I typed nuts, walnuts only comes up. Type Almonds, get nothing. Info about what you should be aiming for ph wise would be most helpful too.

Z70%
by Z####:

Okay, not very visual

S70%
by S####:

A nice simple app but it definitely needs more products in the database.
