Download Research Food Diary on Android - May 2023 – Easy Diet Diary Support

An update from the Xyris Team

We are currently redeveloping Research Food Diary, with an anticipated release in late 2023 or early 2024. This redevelopment will bring a host of new features and a refreshed interface, while still keeping many of the app's much-loved features.

The current Research Food Diary app no longer meets Google Play's requirements for API level 30. This means that some new users are unable to download the app from the Google Play Store.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. If you are unable to download the app from the Google Play Store, you can still access the latest version of Research Food Diary by following the steps below.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to bring you the new and improved Easy Diet Diary with research functionality.

What does this mean for me?
