  • App freezes

    This used to be a good app to use to while on the HCG diet to track your progress and help keep you in track

    But the app is now prone to freezing now and the only way to reboot it is to delete the app and all you have logged and then re install the app

    Don't Buy
  • Stopped working day 3. Not worth the $!

    This got such great reviews that I was willing to fork out the 10 bucks. It is definitely not worth anything close to that.

    PROS:
    1. It might be good for eating out. I don't know as that's not why I'm using it.
    2. The calories automatically subtract from the 500 HCG allotment as you enter them. That's handy.
    3. Options. Lots of options in pre-saved items.
    4. Multiple menus to choose from.

    CONS:
    1. It froze day three and won't work again.
    2. The calories on foods saved are incorrect for most foods I've looked up, and you aren't able to change them. For example, you have to select 8 strawberries, but if you don't want 8 you have no option other than to enter the calories yourself. That same option is available on any food app so what's the point?
    3. When you create your own recipe, again using pre-saved calorie content that has mostly been incorrect or strangely listed for me, you can't edit if you made a mistake or add anything to the recipe. So it quickly becomes worthless.
    4. The cost is ridiculous. It should be WAY more user friendly to cost this amount. I will try to get my $ back, although not sure how to do that.

    I hope they'll fix these issues. It would be really handy to have an easy app. For now, I say skip unless you're eating out a lot, at least until they cut the cost down to maybe $3.

  • Great but keeps freezing!!! Ugh!!!

    😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I did love certain features about this app and the whole design is great. EXCEPT IT ALWAYS FREEZING UP! I have had to delete it by the third time I used it and redownload it. But within a couple hours it did it again. It happened a total of 6 time within three days! Really frustrating especially when I just typed in all my information of the diet and recipes and had to delete it and do all over six more times. I would greatly appreciate a full refund of my 10$!!!!!!

  • locks up every day.

    When I saw this app I thought it would be good for me to use. I saw some people had issues with it locking up once and awhile. I have had it for 4 days and it has kicked up every day I have been using it. The only way to get it back is to delete the app and reload it.

    This causes all data to be lost and stupid me... I did not write it down all the time. I thought this would work. I lost a lot of info but it is only day 4 so I will keep a manual log and use this for reference only.
    Until they fix this problem stay away from this app. It is not worth the frustration.

  • Save your money!!

    After only two days, this app froze and never recovered. I searched for any troubleshooting online and found that many other users had been having the same issue, a YEAR before mine started. It appears they aren't going to fix it. I sent an email to the support team and they basically just said, "we're aware of the issue, thanks for the report." I would love a refund, but I won't hold my breath.
    Meanwhile, Fitbit has a great app for tracking weight, food and water intake, and more. I'll just stick to that as its a solid app.

  • Worked for half a day

    I acquainted myself with this app while preparing to do my load days. After using it about half a day, I tried to open it only to have "preparing database" staring me in the face for 20 minutes. Thinking it was a glitch, I deleted it and reloaded it. Again it worked fine for half a day and then prepared the database for an eternity. Unfortunately, I had my day 1 data input and will now lose it. I wasted $10 on an app that was last updated in 2011! Was the iPhone 3 even out then? This app in its current state is useless. Wish I could get my money back.

  • Crap

    I have never written a review before but I have never paid $10 for an app that doesn't work. I have had to delete and reinstall 3 times now and each time enter all my info and I have only been on my diet for 6 days it is so frustrating anywhere else if a product doesn't work I can take it back and get my money back. I don't know how this is ok with Apple. Do not waste your money or your time. I want my money back!!!!!!! Now I have lost all my info this really freaking irritates me.

  • App is not working on the 3rd day.

    After reading the reviews on this app versus the other apps that are available, I decided to go with this one. After paying $9.99 for it, you would think it would at minimum work. But it is frozen and I can't access anything. This is just awful!
  • Great app but it does freeze. Don't waste your money

    Great app when works. It did freeze on me a least 4 times already, on the loading days was fine, getting all my information and tracking down my progress, what I was eating, my weight lost and the water intake, then out of not where the app froze completely, no way to back up your information, if had froze on me 4 times, I deleted and downloaded again, started fresh put all the information upto the 6 day on my phase 2 and then it happened again, and again. So the app must have a problem with either the launch after the 6 day, the calendar counter, or the last update for iOS, but it is really bad that all your data get lost if you are one the 20+ or 30+ day of your phase 2 or 3 and something like this happens. Totally unreliable app at this point, specially is you pay almost $10 like I did and they do not offer refund. Be alert and don't waste your money, use another application while this gets fix.

  • Frustrated

    I bought this earlier this week and in the beginning was so excited about it. It works great.....when it works. It will work well for a while and then it freezes. It will show me the correct day and still have my info, but I can't log anything. I have already uninstalled and reinstalled it once (obviously loosing all my data) and I really don't want to do that again. Beginning to wish I hadn't spent the money 😠
