Love this app. Food catalogue keeps disappearing

I stay on track and can see my protein intake. Easy for conversations with my doctor.
The ONLY downside is that the food catalogue has dropped off again. I have high hopes. The first time the app was restored within a few days. I will keep using this app. I know the creators are happy for feedback and things will be working again in no time. ☺️ Highly and happily recommend to friends and family.

Thank you for your feedback. We apologize for the inconvenience you experienced with the search for food feature. We've addressed this issue and the problem should now be resolved.

Worked for one day

I really do love this app, and I will gladly change my review score if the search issue ever gets resolved. But as it stands having to input everything by using third party sites for information is something any app can give you. When I first got the app it worked great for a couple weeks. Then it broke. Then you finally fixed it yesterday and today it's not working again. I hope you have the resources to actually get it working. And I hope more people find out about it once it gets fixed because it was a really good calorie counter when it worked. Edit. It's working now and hopefully for good this time. Because when the search works it's the perfect tool to track your daily intake. You had it working for maybe 3 days. Next time you fix it you should leave well enough alone.

When the app works

I downloaded this app a few months ago and it was the best app I had ever had for tracking at that time. I loved all of the features and that it also monitored sodium and cholesterol. It made me actually want to track my food which is important in starting a journey of macro tracking. The search to add food button has unfortunately stopped worked. When I type to search anything it says no results found. I can’t scan every item of food to try to add to my daily intake so my daily food diary isn’t accurate anymore. It is sad that this has stopped working because it had so much potential to be the best macro tracker.

Disappointed

Very disappointed. It worked wonderfully for the first couple of days.
Day 3 searching food and the it just kept on searching
After day 4 you enter a food (egg or tomato….) not found.
You have to enter pretty much everything manually. Which gets old very fast. Was hoping that it would be fixed in an update but now 2 updates in and still not fixed.
When it was working I loved it. Now it’s just frustrating.

Subpar

When I got this app, almost 2 months ago, it worked flawlessly. But over the last couple of weeks, the search function does not produce any actual results.

After reporting this to the developer, I have been waiting for a response that I have not received. The app is still functioning incorrectly, and I’m on the verge of deleting it.

I would not recommend this app to anyone, because it is not actually functional. You cannot search certain items to get their caloric value… so…really, NOT being able to track your calories in an app that doesn’t allow you to search for the chloric density of the food you eat…kind of makes this app useless.

Very helpful

This has been great for tracking my daughter’s calories for her dietician. It’s not searching up foods anymore though and I keep having to enter each item. It has a history of things I’ve previously entered but it won’t scan barcodes anymore or come up with any options when k search an item.

Great WHEN it works but issues are constant

When the app works, it’s great. I have been using for two months now but I am deleting and finding another. Fist few weeks were fine. Now there are constant bugs and crashes. This time, I have not been able to search for food for a week now. It’s great that it is free, but what good does that do if you cannot use it?

Note: my phone is updated to current iOS, I have closed and reopened the app, I have turned my phone off and on and none of that corrects the issue

Almost perfect

Search function for food was comparable, if not better than most apps. After an update the search function does not work at all. It states no results were found. Now items either need to be manually logged or scanned.. which is time consuming if making meals from scratch. You have to manually search the macros for each ingredient and record. If the search function would come back this app would be 5 stars, hands down
