Waste of money, nonsensical result

No free trial meant I took the risk and paid for a subscription, which was a waste of money. The risk scores in the app make no sense. As an example, I entered the exact same food item (gin cocktail) and got two hugely different results. I also entered “cigarette” as a test, and it came back with the highest risk score. I then googled what impacts cigarettes have on gout and the answer was that there’s no conclusive answer either was as to whether cigarettes are related to gout symptoms. I’ll be asking the App Store for a refund as this app appears to essentially be a random number generator.

It’s just a journal with a AI

This isn’t as it is advertised. I expected more resources to explore in this app. But it’s just a journal with an AI response & rating. It isn’t helpful.

Heavy typing required

There are no click options for recording data. It’s simply a diary that you have to type every day and AI generated response. Basically an app you could build in a week. So bummed I paid for a year up front. You got me!

No trial and misled about subs

The app store does not say that this app requires a subscription. I have no problem with a sub for an app that works but I want a trial and to know BEFORE I download and link the app to my account forever that there is a cost.

No free trial - odd risk accuracy

In order to try the app you need to subscribe. There is no free trial. I did that and it didn’t work for me. The app was easy enough to use but on my first day of tracking food it gave me a risk score of minus 17. Their risk score range goes from zero to 100. So that made me suspect something was wrong. There is no way to cancel the app and get a refund through the app. Fortunately the Apple App Store offered me an option to cancel and get a refund.

I need this

As a man who is approaching his 50's, I needed this app 20 years ago lol but this will help me in managing my diet

Simple

I like this app because it’s simple to use and very straightforward. I’m new to gout so I need all the help I can get.
The only reason I gave the app 4 stars was because I wish it offered gout friendly recipes and articles.
Otherwise, it’s great.
