What happened?

About 4 years ago is when I first saw the Diet Doctor website, it was perfect. Able to find what I was looking for and the pictures of the meals were great, colorful. I wanted to cook again. But now it’s changed and not as motivated to use this new version. Can’t readily find what I’m looking for. Wish it was back to its original look.

Great Recipes

The recipes are great, but the user interface can be confusing to navigate to quickly look up recipes on the go.

Automatic renewal

I didn't like the repeating recipes for keto so I decided to delete the app and I checked under my app subscriptions and there was nothing there. A month later I find charges on my credit card for the renewal and was never notified regarding upcoming renewal.

Easy to use. Lots of accountability

This is a much easier ap to use. I don’t feel pressured like I did with noom but I find myself looking forward to checking off my daily tasks

Response from developer

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review, I am glad the daily routine is so helpful!

Love Diet Doctor!

The App is very handy but wish that comments for the recipes would load in the app - I find them really useful and thus spend more time at the website than the app. Overall DD is a worthwhile investment!

Good but cumbersome

I have been a DD member for many years and preferred the older more simple app. This version takes several steps to find my favorites. Seems geared toward beginners and aggressively promotes programs and food lists. Otherwise fantastic recipes and great info.

Easily one of the most frustrating apps to use

Where are the UX designers ? Where is the QA team ? So many little things make this app an exercise in patience.
I’ve been a monthly subscriber for 3 months now, can’t wait to get rid of it. Apps like this make developers like me want to write their own app.

Overall, the actual graphical design is good. But that’s about it for good things.

Seriously could go on about inconsistencies and bugs in app navigation and poor UX design..
Search functionality is bad and non-existent in favorites. Getting to favorites is via random heart icon at top on a single page ??
Doubling recipes sometimes doesn’t correctly double numbers.

I plan on sending in issues, but some of them are so bad I question the team’s capabilities, or rather if this is the teams baseline, then there’s a huge chasm between thoughts on what is a good app design.

Now even worse with 3.0 on mobile - tablet and mobile functionality is not the same. Meal plan recipes get pushed further in the back. home is now a pre-generated list of recipes - how is one supposed to plan for the ingredients ?? Go shopping on a daily basis ? Home is now a glorified recipe browser, which that functionality is already in the app many times over.

The company has such great data and potential. Please make this into the usable, awesome app that it should and could be !!

App deleted my membership

The app deleted my membership and is asking me to purchase the year subscription again. I downloaded in may and paid in June. I have a credit card statement to prove it. Then last night the app wouldn’t load and so I deleted it and reinstalled and it wouldn’t allow me to restore my purchase. I could sign up for the free one month trial again. Which according to the App Store support shouldn’t be possible if I had already had a a free trial of the app. My apple purchase history shows no record of me purchasing the app or subscription before last night. The app help is non existent with no way to contact them. I really enjoyed this app and it had several great ideas but I will not pay another 100 dollars for a subscription this year.
** update if I login through the website then everything is golden and it all works great

It makes it all easy

I was happy to find an app/site that made it so simple to continue being keto. The knowledge, the recipes, and the tips you need with a wonderful user interface. Good job!

I love it

I love that the recipes are on my iPhone and IPad and I can carry around my kitchen and when grocery shopping. The only enhancement is adding total carbs. Just my preference as I try to stay under 20 Total carbs.
