Using Lose It for total diet monitoring
As an oldie who is 70kg wringing wet, I've been using Lose it for several months, monitoring everything. When one consciously sees the impact of consuming various foods, alcohol and doing exercise, it it easy to adjust to healthier ways without being dejected at cutting out this and that. Easy to use, becomes habitual and makes it easier talking to your GP and/or nutritionist about where you are at with your living style. The only thing I'm curious about is why measuring calcium didn't make it to what is otherwise an outstanding app. For we 70+'s, calcium is a critical part of our diet. If possible I'd like to see Calcium measure in some near future release of this excellent app. Cheers

Forcing premium version :(
After a recent update, the scan option no longer works and continually forces you to a premium purchase page. The adverts have got worse and are now videos and other app adverts that go on for ages. I was looking at purchasing premium but this ‘forcing’ is not making me comfortable. A great app is now much less useful without a scan option and really annoying too

Great app but would love to see some improvements
This is a great app and seems very comprehensive but sometimes when you search for items you can only count “servings” (not grams or oz etc) but 1 serving isn’t defined in the app so you have NO IDEA how much you are counting. Making the listing effectively useless for everyone but the person who made it. This seems like an easy fix since servicing sizes have to be defined in the nutrition info and then could be 100% accurately converted into any portion.
Also the nutrition panel scanner doesn’t work, maybe that’s because I’m not in the US but it would be great if it did.

Don’t get this app
I downloaded this, the free version is very light and the paid version far too expensive for what it is. But the real reason I recommend to stay clear is that they send far too much spam and unsubscribing does not work to stop it. I have had to set up an auto responder on my email to automatically send to the spam folder as a result due to the ongoing unwanted emails. Now I’m resorting to writing this review as well. Don’t say you weren’t warned.

Helpful Tool
I’m finding the app really helpful and am successfully losing weight. Watching my kilojoule and nutrient intake has been really interesting insightful.
Wish I’d always had this!
I am only 155cm and in my 60s but since menopause the weight has been sneakily creeping on! In January this year I found this app and chose balanced diet with a goal of losing 1kg per month- I have lost over 6kg in 5 months and back to my pre menopause weight. I feel lighter, happier and will continue to use every day, it’s so easy once you’ve done it for a few weeks, because you can add things that are already on your food lists etc.
I wanted to lose weight slowly so that it wasn’t too ageing and the outcome had been perfect for me.

Not impressed
I love your app! I even paid to have the premium version for life several years ago. I really enjoyed the barcode scanner, the ability to have macros tracked for me, all the bells and whistles. It couldn’t have been easier.
I speak of it in the past tense, though, because the app kicked me out of Premium a few weeks ago and is now suggesting that I pay, again, to “Go Premium”. It’s very frustrating to have all access bought and paid for and then to have it taken away.
Also, the “Go Premium” button features prominently in the app, but the “contact us” button is nowhere to be found. There seems to be no way to speak to anyone about this problem.
Unimpressive.

Not what it was!
Was a great app but every few weeks they strip more of the free features out. No more bar code scanning is the latest feature to move to pay. I don’t know why they bother offering it as a free app anymore. It’s useless if you don’t pay.
What a JOKE
I’ve been using this App since 2018, I had free barcode scanner and now I need to pay to use it, this is the thanks I get for being a member for 6 plus years.
Great start, poor user experience
I was sold by the on-boarding experience of Loseit. The question-based setup resonated with me, and upon entry, the interface felt familiar and clear.
Unfortunately, after purchasing for the year, the experience is definitely front loaded.
There’s a constant stream of ads for lifetime subscriptions and their health content. Most of that content costs extra so what you essentially end up with is a tracker.
This would be fine if that’s what you were sold, but you’re definitely sold a supportive, health application, which it is not.
The app is useable but disappointing.
