  • Doesn’t actually work

    The app is not usable in USCS. Adding food to a meal does not automatically update the macro tracker. Scanning a barcode for an item not in the system is not an easy process. Although the app dashboard looks good and could potentially track everything I’m looking for, the difficulties trying to set up and actually use the app make me instantly regret paying for this.
  • Awful

    It looks very cool. However, the food tracking isn’t user friendly at all and I have noticed it was highly inaccurate. Macros in foods were incorrect, which defeats the purpose of a tracker. No free trial, and a huge waste of money.
  • Zero stars

    App doesn’t work and their is no way to contact the developers. Zero stars
  • I only saw good reviews before I got this app

    This does not save information after spending so much time navigating and “saving” food only for it to not save. Agh. So annoying! I wasted my money and time! Safe your money!
  • Deleted

    Was really hopeful for this app as I enjoyed the layout. I’ve used many food tracking apps, and this one was by far the least user friendly unfortunately. Trying to add food was a nightmare. The barcode scanner didn’t work. No way to fix/change anything if you mess up and put the wrong numbers in. Really disappointing. Especially considering I opted for the one year subscription as it was the best deal. Ended up deleting the app anyway and won’t be renewing the subscription.
  • Features don’t work

    Barcode doesn’t load and quantities don’t adjust.
  • Not free

    You have to pay to even use it. Not worth it.

    On the contrary - it's worth it!
  • Difficult to Navigate

    I really wanted to like this app. It’s display seemed like it was it was going to be very simple to navigate and similar to the Apple Health app. However, I cannot work this app. I feel like I am fairly tech savvy and don’t typically have any problems figuring out how to work apps. This one is so difficult to work and there’s really not any support for it. I tried to click on what seemed to be a technical support link and it doesn’t work. I find that even though I selected to use the US Standard system, it continues to revert to metric units. I downloaded this free app to see if it would fit my needs, but as soon as I finished setting up my account it tried to get me to sign up for a subscription. I attempted to get out of it just so I could see what the app looked like, but it wouldn’t let me look at anything without selecting a subscription type. I quit the app several times and attempted to relaunch it, but each time it required me to choose one. Somehow, even though I thought I was extremely careful, I signed up for a yearly subscription. I immediately requested a refund from Apple and was denied TWICE. I had already deleted the app and was not even using it or the subscription, but that apparently means nothing. So, I lost $40 for nothing. I didn’t even mean to sign up! I definitely think this could be an extremely useful app, but right now I can’t get past the frustration of it.

    Thank you for your feedback, sorry about your bad experience. Tell me, at what point do the units of measurement change? with your feedback, we would fix it
  • Unusable

    Very difficult to use, almost impossible. Tried to input some food and it doubled the calories but kept the macros the same, made it impossible to accurately track. Makes you pay before you try, so you can’t see how horrible it is before giving them your money. Not worth it.

    Developer Response

    Thank you for your feedback, sorry about your bad experience. We will pass the errors to the developers and fix them
  • Couldn't test it

    They want you to pay before you can try it out. How do I know if I'm going to want to buy it?

    Developer Response

    Buy it and you won't regret it!)
