Beautiful design, but missing key UK food
I've been looking into alternatives after getting sick of MFP's clunky design and came across FitGenie. The design is beautiful and clean, exactly what I was looking for, but unfortunately there are two big features that MFP has that mean I can't make the switch just yet.
1. There is nowhere near enough UK food available. I'm happy to help populate the system with my own food, but even the household brands are not available. The scanner doesn't seem to function on any of the items in my fridge currently.
2. MFP syncs with my Withings scale automatically which saves me having to copy my weight and body fat %. It's a relatively small task, but convenient enough that I'm willing to put up with MFP's clunky design for now.
Given four stars because fundamentally it's a well designed app that I suspect is perfect for the US audience. Hopefully they offer better UK support moving forward.Show lessRjxjfneksoa
Awesome
I prefer FitGenie to myfitnesspal. The in-app dietary recommendations are realistic and are sound with how evidence based science tells us to eat with respect to our goals. That, in addition to the automatic adjustments, make it more effective tool then MFP for me (may not be so for everyone though). It takes the thinking out of it and has given me slow but sustainable progress for the first time in a while.
Definitely room for improvement though- one week told me to do 2100 calories of cardio a week. Not gonna happen lol. Would like to have an option on building in cardio to the calorie goals.Show lessDylan 220
Pure Awesomeness
Does everything a good diet coach does by tweaking calories and macros weekly. The most recent update is by far the best!
Would it be possible to organize the grocery list into different projected days? For example set it to give you 3 or 4 day grocery list vs 7?
Seriously the best macro tracking app on the market right now! The paid version is worth every single penny!Show lessGovy42
Great app so far
Great app but doesn't currently support vegan or vegetarian meal plans so useless for me as an integrated AI app. Does the same as my fitness goals app currently. Will be greatly improved by the intelligent addition of above meal plans.JohnnyB448
syncing stinks
Here is what they told me...FitGenie can only be used on one device at a time to keep your data secure. When switching to a new device, users must log back in to their desired account if they are not prompted to do so. All your data will be pulled in once it has successfully synced on the device you were previously logged in on. To ensure syncing is successful, exit the app on the device where you last logged entries, then reopen the app on that same device.
So I have to go in and out... in and out...
And it still doesn't work. Day one with the app and I'm not happy.Show lessMr. Stooge

Good app but needs a database for australiansCl1nt411
Good app needs vegan meal options
No matter how many times I change my settings meat is always in the equation . Can we please step it up !!!!Ashtonished
Definitely will recommend
Definitely a good app. Database is obviously growing and I LOVE LOVE LOVE that I can input my own macro #s!!! 👌🙌Pretty awesome app. I approve
Wonderful
Keeping track of my meals is something I've never really done, I just ate what I liked. But I need to stay away from the junk food etc. I love that I can scan what I'm eating and that I'm learning to balance all my meals. The last couple of weeks I've actually eaten breakfast! Trying to get fit again for a Half-Marathon , best way to do this. And I love all the meal suggestions( minus the broccoli) that I get, easy and yummy. Thank you!Show lessCelticElle
The best macro app on the market! Highly recommended
Holy God! Bless all the people who invented this! It's freakin amazing. Love everything about it. User interface, accuracy and the calculations for macro developing is pretty insane and on point. Highly recommended. Love it love it love it!Blah-blah1110
