I wanted to move away from MyFitnessPal and use a FOSS alternative, but this has a number of problems making it a poor replacement. It reset my settings and lost my entries twice in a short period of time. It cannot search OFF entries. This isn't the fault of Waistline but I also had so many problems just trying to make an account on OFF (they blocked all Zoho addresses, app crashes frequently, contributions disappear, other UI bugs) that this just isn't worth the hassle.

Love that the database used is OpenFoodFacts. However, it would be nice to see more integration with the database if possible. The ability to edit the database from Waistline would be a great benefit, rather than needing to also download a separate app and log into that. I can edit scanned items or create for new items, but it seems this is only local for me to see? Edit: Bigger issue is that there is no database for non-barcode items such as NUTTAB! Almost a great replacement for MyFitnessPal..

Waistline is not going to become an Open Food Facts editor (or an editor for the other databases it interacts with). Although it is possible to upload new items to the OFF database from within Waistline.

This is the one that I keep after trying out dozens of these apps. Simple and the most customizable. One thing that it does and that I can't find anywhere else is that you can change the order of the nutrition values in the food creation screen, so you can tailor it to how things are shown on the food labels in your country and get mindless when you create a new food. Superb and free!
