  • Crashes on Jiff Sync Event

    Title says it all. I bought the app to sync the food component with Jiff. It took a day and multiple attempts to sync the username. After 5 days I've yet to see the data transfer.
  • Not so Good

    No up to date food info. App closes when ever i try to open it. I paid subscription so need to live with it.
  • This app has potential...

    But since every entry is a chore, I feel like the designers are not making any effort to add food info into the app, relying on users to do all the leg work. Apps are supposed to be a benefit, not a dreaded chore.
  • Great app BUT

    This app looked to have everything I was looking for. I could input my daily calorie, protein, carb and fat requirements BUT if I wanted to scan any foods to input quickly I would have to pay a monthly fee. Sorry but no thanks. I'll look elsewhere.
  • Amazeballs!!!

    Finally!!!
    An app where you can customize everything! It gives you suggestions, but you can change what you want to track (calories, fat, carbs, protein, etc) and set your own limits!

    You don't have to choose a specific food if you want, you can just create your own meal and put in the calories and such manually. Then add it to favorites to use constantly 😃

    Best way to track!
  • Pretty lame

    Finding food is a hassle, there's little international items and the UI to add new one is really inconvenient.
  • Not bad

    Doesn't update to other apps every day like it should and very little function without purchasing the upgrade.
  • Do not use this app

    Worst app ever!!! The free version will only allow you to track half your calories before blocking you and prompting you to add the pay version!! What a waste
  • Don't upgrade from within this app

    I tried to upgrade within the app. It took my money via Apple but would not recognize my upgraded membership. I want my money back!
  • Wanted to love it...

    ...but there are just too many bugs. Also the food library is somewhat disorganized and messy, and many items are inaccurate. There are lots of entries that are nearly identical and many of the major brands and restaurant chains are missing. Also, many of the foods listed have very inaccurate carb and protein counts. Some foods claim to have no carbs or calories even though they have plenty.

    There are also some bugs when you try to edit food items. For example, the number values you type in will randomly round off to slightly different numbers. That's just more annoying than anything else. But certain things just don't calculate right. For example changing the quantity of a glass of red wine from 1 ounce to 1 glass does not change the number of calories that beverage adds up to.

    Lastly, if you sync the app to Jiff you get tons of pop up messages saying "Error communicating with Jiff". It does sync eventually but the pop ups are annoying.

    Overall, the UI is nice in a lot of ways, but there are just a lot of bugs to be fixed and too many other good competing apps out there.
