This is an especially good app if you are new to the vegetarian world or are just looking to improve your daily eating out diet. Because the app is powered by happycow.net, you can view ratings by fellow restaurant goers to choose which location is best for you.

If you are currently on a diet, the app even has a calculator to help you track and calculate what you’ve eaten throughout the day to help you stay on target with whatever health goals you are trying to achieve.
This app even works if you don’t have an internet connection! All the data is stored right there on your iPhone for easy access.
