### 3/5 — Need app to open in landscape on iPad

*2022-09-06*

This app only works on my iPhone.  It needs to allow for landscape mode on an iPad in iOS.

### 4/5 — Unable to backdate

*2020-06-22*

With cycle 1, I was able to enter the date I actually started. Unfortunately, I also missed tracking the start of cycle 2 and now cannot backdate.  Too bad, I was enjoying the tracking but because I missed a couple of days during the transition, it’s no longer in sync with where I am.

**Developer response:** Hello, You can go back, use the arrows up top from the main dashboard and go back in days and track what you ate on previous days. Email me anytime or use the chat inside the app to ask questions. My email: Kelly@HealthyHappySmart.com

### 2/5 — The app is frozen

*2020-01-02, version 1.4.3*

It worked for a few hours and then went blank

### 2/5 — Where are all the recipes?

*2019-10-23, version 1.4.2*

I’m on day 2 and so far none of the recipes that I used from the book are in the app. This app is very confusing. I don’t like it. Will not use past free week for sure.

### 4/5 — Good for basic tracking

*2019-09-20*

I liked this app a lot when it was free, I’m not sure if it is work $9.99 a month for the little support I typically need. Though, the support people are very fast to respond which I appreciate. However it does have good summaries for each cycle and I refer to those almost daily. This is the only diet I’ve ever successfully lost 20+ pounds on and it’s cheaper than weight watchers or Jenny for 6 weeks!

**Developer response:** Hi BodaciousBuffalo - thank you for your review. If you had the app before we started the new $9.99 price, please contact me by email when you originally got the app and I can get you set up. You should not have to pay the new price if you originally got the app and paid for it up front (old price). Email me: Kelly@HealthyHappySmart.com

### 2/5 — Can no longer access

*2019-08-25, version 1.4.2*

The app states its updating and to create a free acct giving the option to use Facebook or if you have an acct to log in. Well, I’ve had an acct for years and when I sign in, all it does is spin and I can not get in. What’s going on??!!

### 4/5 — Nice App

*2019-02-16*

This is a great app. The one thing I would prefer is if there was a free version with less options, and then in-app purchases or a subscription for more options. 

For instance, just the ability to log very basic info vs recipes and more.

**Developer response:** Hello Briellesmom, We appreciate your kind review. We will take that into consideration.

### 4/5 — Bewildered

*2019-01-07*

I just opened an account on this app.  I’ve entered all my info and add my water and food take for today, but I can’t get back in.  I’m getting the blue screen of death.  There’s no option or buttons to select, just dead blue screen.  Color me disappointed.

**Developer response:** Hi MOM4GK7 – so sorry for any troubles you're having. Please email me at: Kelly@HealthyHappySmart.com and we will try to resolve this issue you're having.

### 4/5 — Restart

*2019-01-06*

I love the diet and was excited about the app.
I barely started and had a major setback in the hospital.   How do I restart Week 1 ?
It keeps saying I completed 1 and wants me to start week 2.  I appreciate any help to restart.
Your app is amazing except for that one small issue.

**Developer response:** Hi Always Mum - please email me at: Kelly@HealthyHappySmart.com and I will answer any and all questions you have including the one about restarting. Thanks!

### 4/5 — New update not working!

*2018-12-17*

**Update: since this morning, they have resolved the issue! 

I am really annoyed. The new update logged me out and now when I try logging back in, it says my account does not exist. There is no way to contact anyone to let them know what happened. Very upsetting because I have been using this app for few years now. 
I hope the support team reads this and is able to resolve the issue otherwise for now I give it a one star.

**Developer response:** Thank you bexs30 for updating your review. We are glad we could help. :)

### 4/5 — How to cancel

*2018-11-28*

You can cancel the subscription by either clicking on the support link and sending them a mail, or by going into your iTunes account, click manage subscriptions, select 17 day diet, select cancel. Super easy, no problem to cancel.

**Developer response:** Hi cuteasher - Thank you for taking the time to share this! We appreciate it tremendously. :)

### 1/5 — Great when it works.

*2018-04-19*

I would give this app 4 stars if it worked consistently. Out of no where the Lookup function, Support function and Custom Item function quit working. No support available to contact. I haven’t been able to use the app for two days now. My sister is having the same issue. It’s worth noting if it doesn’t work and is a negative investment.

**Developer response:** Hi Ahhhhhhh, hmmm, not sure about the issues you're having. I would love to look into this some more, please email me or send a message inside the diet chat (sorry you probably missed it, it's the tab that looks like a chat bubble) - thank you. My email: kelly@healthyHappySmart.com

### 2/5 — Custom foods issue

*2018-03-19, version 1.4.1*

When adding a “custom” food, it doesn’t allow you to put the serving size or go back in and edit it. This is a huge problem for people who are trying to accurately track their intake. Please fix ASAP

### 1/5 — Get the book

*2018-03-11, version 1.4.1*

I have used the 17 day diet before with success.  On it again and thought I would use the app.  It’s too cumbersome to use and I do not like using it.  Thought it would make it easier but I’m going back to using a journal and the book.

### 1/5 — Refund

*2026-06-23*

Hi,
I recently renewed my annual subscription, but the meal plan is still not showing in the app. I’ve already reinstalled the app, and the plan still does not appear.
Normally, the app displays the weekly meal plan with breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack meals that you can scroll through. 
Because the plan is not loading, I’m requesting a refund for the subscription I purchased today.
Thank you for your help.

### 1/5 — Stupid!!!!

*2021-10-20*

I BOUGHT this app and now you want to charge me 15$ a month to use it??? What the hell?? Totally ridiculous!! Just a money grab now!!

**Developer response:** Hi Bickle999999999999, email me -- Kelly@healthyhappysmart.com -- Apple somehow messed up + didn't transfer you over when we did the update. You should get access if you already had the app prior to the update. Email me and I will set you up with access. Thanks. And please consider changing your review, this isn't our fault! Thanks.

### 1/5 — No longer free

*2021-01-04, version 1.4.3*

This app was awesome when it was free. It helped you keep track and see you progress. I will. It pay anything especially $9.99 a month for something I can manually track on my phone.

### 1/5 — You must pay to get anything out of this app

*2020-10-14*

It says free with in-app purchases, but you can’t do anything with it unless you have a paid subscription (after free 1 week trial).

**Developer response:** Hi Steve, sorry for any confusion you have. You can use the app with out the subscription. It doesn't give you all the features, but you can still use some of the app if you cancel your subscription. Please consider changing your review since it's false and not a correct statement about our app. Thank you. Email me if you have questions about this or anything else: Kelly@HealthyHappySmart.com

### 1/5 — App is just blank!

*2020-08-20, version 1.4.3*

I can’t even open the app anymore. It’s just a blank screen and nothing loads. It’s been like this for days. Frustrating considering you have to pay for it!

### 1/5 — Allowances are wrong

*2020-07-13*

I entered and a half teaspoon of healthy oil today for my lunch and it tells me I’ve had 3 1/2 servings and I’ve gone over my allowance. It did the same thing for a small apple that measured out to be a cup. It measured that tiny little apple has 3 1/2 fruits and told me that I went over my fruit allowance. What is happening? This app used to be so much better. I’ll have to cancel my account if this isn’t fixed. What would be the point of having this app then. Tech-support, please advise.

**Developer response:** Hi there. Thanks for reaching out, but this question should have been written inside the app Support rather than here as a review because I can resolve this right away that way, rather than leaving us a bad review about it because it's actually calculating the meal plan that is inside the app. To resolve this go to your MEALS in the app, then swipe to the left over any recipes you don't plan on eating for the day. This will update your servings counts. PLEASE, PLEASE change your review, this is unfair to leave us a bad review for this, we are always willing to help you when you write us inside the app or email us (kelly@healthyhappysmart.com). And this issue is 100% resolvable right now. Thank you!

### 1/5 — This is not a free app

*2019-12-27*

The 17 day diet is a good program, but this app feels like a scam. The App Store says it is free, but it is not. They do not charge you to download the program, but as soon as you give your information, there is an agreement that you cannot opt out of. And since they do not provide a phone number, I had to re-download the app to contact customer service and make sure they do not continue to charge my account indefinitely.

**Developer response:** Hi Janis. oh - Thanks for your review and I am sorry you feel like this app is a "scam". We do mention the price in the appstore description, you must have not fully read it because it's there. We are required to mention this. This app is not a scam, we are a legit company and hope to provide good customer support so if you ever have more questions for us, contact me at: Kelly@healthyhappysmart.com 
Thanks.

### 1/5 — It now cost money every month

*2019-04-30*

I use to own this app and now it costs each month I wasn’t expecting that I hope they come back with a free version where you can look up items. I have the book which is better then nothing. Most people are on a diet for more then a year that’s about 200 bucks a year my gym membership is less then that 120 a year please come up with something

**Developer response:** Hi cambridgegirllllllll, Thanks for your review, but this is a bug through Apple appstore, Please consider changing your review since this isn't our fault. Send me a message in the app and I can set you up with full access. Or email me: Kelly@HealthyHappySmart.com

### 1/5 — Insane Cost

*2019-01-14*

The app is free to download but $13 CAD to use. All the food guides are available for free online. So the cost is unjustifiable considering all it does is track/graph weight progress and water consumption.

**Developer response:** Hello tryanothernick – thank you for your review. I do want to point out that it's not completely true. We also offer weekly meal plans in the app. Each week is a new plan and the plan adds up to exactly what you need on the diet, so it's doing the hard work for you of calculating everything you need to succeed on 17 Day Diet. That's the main reason for the charge. Along with the ability to contact support from within the app and ask anything about the diet at any time. Both of these take a lot of time on our part, therefore it's a paid service. Thank you.

### 1/5 — Stop Charging Me, I Deleted You!

*2018-07-30, version 1.4.1*

Its not a terrible app, however, I am no longer interested in using this app.  I have found another lifestyle change that works better for me and my family.  Please stop charging me.
I can't find where to cancel my subscription. 
If someone who can help reads this, please assist me with stopping these charges.    Thank you

### 5/5 — Simple, EasyTo keep accountable

*2022-05-27*

I love the simplicity of it. I don't have time to be entering each and every item I eat, so the fact that this outlines what you can have and I simply click on each thing, keeps me accountable and tracking daily.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your feedback. I am glad you find the app valuable.

### 5/5 — Great app!!

*2020-08-07, version 1.4.3*

Simple, easy & very helpful!!! I don’t have to think.  And it’s not time consuming at all to log food/exercise.  Keeping me accountable; I highly recommend!

### 5/5 — 17 Day Diet

*2020-02-21, version 1.4.3*

I just downloaded this app that I found via the healthy happy smart.com website. I have never heard of this diet but it makes sense and I am glad to see it allows for two servings of fruit per day. I want to try it. We are going on vacation in a couple weeks so I wonder if it is obtainable when you don’t have access to cooking your own food. I also wonder if you screw up one day, do you have to start all over? I guess you have to do that with any life change though. If you screw up, you get up and start again. Regardless it’s a healthy eating plan that incorporates two short exercise sessions twice per day for 17 minutes. It seems obtainable except on the 3 days I work 14hours a day. I wonder if being on your feet all day would be a good substitute for the two exercise sessions. Anyway on the outside looking in, I think surely I can try this for 17 days. Mind over matter. Stay focused. Remember your end game. Stop allowing your brain to play tricks on you.

### 5/5 — Cheap

*2020-01-13*

Update**  App is running fine for me now. I really do love this app which is why I was so frustrated when I lost access to it. It makes meal planing easy and organized. 

I had full access to it yesterday and today when it logged on, it locked me out at said I needed to buy the full access for $9.99 a month. Such BS

**Developer response:** Hi there - email me and I will set you up with access. Kelly@healthyhappysmart.com
Apple messed up and didn't transfer you over. You should get access if you already had the app prior to the update. Email me. Thanks.

*2017-08-03*

I'm losing weight, effortlessly, never hungry as they suggested. The support I get from the app is outstanding, never an unanswered question. Not sure how Kelly can keep up with all of us! Thank you....

### 5/5 — Best 17-Day Diet app out there!

*2016-12-31*

I have tried many other diet apps on the market and this one is by far the best! I really love the meal plans as they are very useful when you are just getting off work and trying to figure out what to eat that is easy and healthy.
