It's a beta program because the author keeps adding new features and making the program better, not because it's in at an "experiment on users" level. It was easy but time consuming to import txt MC files, but it worked well, and now the MC import capability is much improved. I'd like to see nutritional information eventually. The interface simplicity is nice after dealing with MC. I don't see any downside to this program and look forward to it becoming better and better.
