### 1/5 — Total Rubbish

*2018-01-28*

Should have read the reviews before I bought. Completely USELESS!

### 1/5 — Basic and rubbish

*2018-01-02*

Considering they took £1.99 of my money, this app is so basic the developers should be ashamed. Avoid!!!!!

### 1/5 — 5/2

*2017-12-07*

I agree! Had more success just googling specific foods.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2017-10-26*

I wish I didn’t waste my money on this there is NOTHING to it no help at all very disappointing!!!!!  Wish I could get a refund so don’t waste your money!!!

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2017-08-30*

I should have looked into this app more carefully. I assumed it would help me keep track calories with a calorie counter. Unfortunately I have to do this myself by downloading another app! This doesn't help much at all, not worth spending money on.

### 1/5 — 😳

*2017-07-09*

Bit useless, thought when you typed in a food it would give you calorie value but you have to work it all out before you can enter it.... might as well write it in a book

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2017-06-04*

Useless app. You can only record the amount of calories consumed but you have to do the maths and find the calories from some other app.

### 1/5 — Limited App

*2017-03-21*

This app is good in that you can set different calorie allowances for different days but has no ability to search for calories in food meaning you have to know them yourself or search on a different app or the internet. There are definitely better apps out there. Regret spending £2 on this.

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2017-03-07*

You need to find out calories from elsewhere. It's just input of data. It's BS

### 1/5 — Bs tracker

*2017-01-28*

You cannot search foods in this app and have to know yourself the calorie content.

### 1/5 — Basic

*2016-12-15*

Bit basic and useless, you enter what you ate and also enter the calories which you have to figure out, could just use a pen and paper, don't waste your money.

### 1/5 — Not much to it

*2016-07-21*

Very simple. Needs to track weight, have more detail in logging food, and calendar could be easier to plan fast days with a reminder maybe. Lots could be done to make this better. Not worth paying for. Wish I could get my money back! :(

### 1/5 — Ms

*2016-06-03*

I thought I was getting an app that help calculate my daily calories on the 5/2 diet. Instead it figured what intake is on fast days and rest days. That is all!!  $1.99 for something I already knew. Do not purchase this.

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2016-05-05*

I can,t believe I didn't read the reviews on this. You put in if your male or female,height and weight and they calculate your calories. That's it. I could have googled this.

### 1/5 — Total waste of 2 bucks

*2016-04-12*

Just a pitiful calculator in metric.  No plan included.   Total waste of a couple bucks.  Totally!!!

### 1/5 — Misleading

*2016-02-08*

I just paid $2.99 to find out what I already knew for free online. I thought this was going to help me calculate foods in my fast day. Total con and waste of money.

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2015-11-09*

First screen asked questions to calculate my fast day calorie intake then went into a loop same questions same response. What do I want with that info!!! I already know it's 500cal!!! I want my money back what a sham!!!!

### 1/5 — Useless

*2015-09-26*

What a waste of time, the only thing it does is give a calculation of calorie intake.
Nothing else and that's done in kilograms and centimetres only.

### 1/5 — Complete joke

*2015-09-20*

I'll be demanding a refund, this is a completely pointless app.

### 1/5 — AWFUL

*2023-06-28*

Tooootallll Waste of Money. Please. I Need a REFUND.

### 1/5 — Useless don’t buy

*2023-01-30*

I wish I read the reviews before buying. I assumed wrongly that the app would have information on calorie content of foods - it doesn’t. It’s really basic and does nothing more than you can do yourself with a notes app.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2022-12-26*

Doesn’t allow you to choose your fast days. Has no features whatsoever. Total waste of money!!

### 1/5 — DO NOT PURCHASE Absolutely useless, MYFITNESSPAL is better and free

*2021-05-23*

This is purely for tracking which you can easily do in ‘MyFitnessPal’, there’s no instructions on what to do egg., how many days apart to do your fasting, recipe ideas (which are available on an additional app at an additional cost, no meal planning ideas or areas to create your own, no link to a website to even give any of this!  Shocking that Apple doesn’t quality check these

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2020-09-13*

This is a very basic app. Would not recommend. Have to work out your own calories and enter it in.

### 1/5 — Marydee

*2019-07-24*

Sooo disappointed!  Does not do anything. I wanted my daily calories calculated! What's up with this?

### 1/5 — Waste of time and money

*2019-03-06*

Doesn’t calculate the calories for you. I have no idea how many calories was in my meal? It should have a function to work this out. Deleted as soon as I purchased!

### 1/5 — 5.2

*2018-11-20*

Useless , thought you would get the calories , had to pay but there are others free that calculate the calories

### 1/5 — Don’t Buy This

*2018-05-17*

Wish I’d read reviews before buying. Total waste of time. Won’t even convert measurements to US.

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2018-04-03*

Do not buy this App. Is a pure waste of money. Very dissatisfied.

*2016-11-03*

Cannot open a record for October 31 due to frame around the calendar. iPhone SE user.
