- 💰 Revenue: Modest — $7K - $15K/mo · MID tier · medium confidence, trajectory unclear.
- ⭐ Quality: 4.24★ across 2,536 reviews — solid.
- 📍 Market: Not yet charting in any of the 9 monitored markets.
- 📈 Growth: Insufficient signal to assess trajectory.
- ⚠️ Risk: High — 3.5% refund mentions, scam/fraud mentions detected, rating drift -1.90 ★ (recent 50 vs lifetime).
🎯 For competitors: Vulnerable. Quality drift + slow updates create a clear opening for a fresh competitor with active dev cadence.
💵 For acquirers: Estimated asking range 12-22× monthly = $125K-$229K. Portfolio play ($37K/mo combined) commands premium. Discount applied for operational risk..

📝 About this app
Researchers at Monash University have developed the low FODMAP diet and a corresponding app to assist in the management of gastrointestinal symptoms associated with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The Monash University FODMAP diet works by swapping foods high in fermentable carbohydrates (FODMAPs), with low FODMAP alternatives. Around 75% of people with IBS experience symptom relief on a low FODMAP diet.
