  • Calories, Weight, and no nagging!

    This was exactly the app I wanted. Simple calorie logging with search and easy entry yourself. Simple daily weight entry. Simple chart.

    No nags, no snarky intro screens, no inaccurate calculators, no forced account creation or a whole bunch of ads or whatever.

    Just a simple, effective calorie and weight tracker. Brilliant! Thanks for the app I wanted.
  • Less than Basic and overall bad

    Terrible interface, constantly asks you to upgrade to do even the most basic things. Everything is hard to find. The defaults made no sense, everything you add goes to some meal called “mid day snack” and then you have to move it an actual meal. It won’t connect to Jiff, even though it is supposed to...the whole reason I even used it! Would give it less than 1 star if I could.
  • Great app

    Continue to update & add foods have been adding things myself but don’t have label on everything
  • Will not link with Jiff

    Download this app since it’s the one Jiff recommends to link and input data. However, it does not link with my Jiff. I did not purchase the app, used the free downloaded version. This may be why it won’t sync together. I gave up after multiple attempts to the apps together and delete this app
  • Next to worthless without upgrade

    Downloaded it at the recommendation of Castlight. But I can’t sync with my other apps or tools unless I buy them premium. My Fitness Pal does all of this and more and syncs with my Apple Watch and other apps without purchasing an upgrade. After about 5 minutes of being told to upgrade when I tried to turn on features, I just deleted it.
  • Problems

    Having problems linking with jiff
  • Capable food tracker

    Works well. Many foods already in there but lacking some popular fast foods. But overall quite a capable app.
  • Good app, but confusing versions

    Seems to do the job. Runs on my 3 devices & syncs. Scans barcodes quickly. Confusing having two versions - don’t understand the charges yet.
  • Needs better database

    The tracking system is fine. It’s about as good as other similar apps. But the database is not good. It does not do a good job recognizing misspelled words and there are many foods from national chains that are not in it.
  • Sync

    I bought the three month plan and will not renew. The app does not sync from my iPad to the iPhone. App says to use Dropbox. That does not work. Basic app is ok. They need to fix the ability to sync.
