Please fix that because it’s kind of useless to not be able to see your daily bite count. I don’t want to have to start the counter over each time…..should tell you for the day. ### 4/5 — Interesting app *2023-09-23, version 3.0.2* The 80 bites app is a interesting application that shows that hormones play a huge role in hunger. The more you eat the hungrier you get in the long run. It helps train your body to be aware of what you are eating and how much and to be mindful of when you are full to help maintain you gut health , slim down and calm your mind. Diets typically do not work and can be difficult to maintain in the long run. I know staying on top of workouts, food, hormones, and making sure to watch what I eat due to not having a gallbladder, it can be more difficult. Every body is different. ### 4/5 — Please save bites *2023-08-22, version 3.0.2* I love the app and the idea of this way of eating but I wish it saved your bites for the day. For example if I ate 12 bites for breakfast, I want it to save so at lunch I can see how many bites I had so far. Instead it resets and it’s hard to keep track. Other than that, it’s great! ### 3/5 — Total qty would be helpful *2022-08-24, version 2.12* Can you add in the total for the day? ### 4/5 — Fun App *2019-05-10, version 2.6* This is a great little app! I love how fun the little stomach is interactive. Having to stop and enter each time you take a bite makes you stop and think about eating! ### 5/5 — My evaluation when used *2018-05-27, version 2.6* Very good for diet and sports! ### 5/5 — Happy after 1 month of use *2018-05-27, version 2.6* I have reduced 5 kg, had a fairly balanced body ### 5/5 — Control weight to detail *2018-05-27, version 2.6* One or a few spoons of food can make my body uneven, I do not believe in using the app. App analysis gives me very detailed things I am doing wrong about diet ### 5/5 — At first use it feels a bit uncomfortable *2018-05-27, version 2.6* When you have to control the exact source of nutrients in the body! But once it's stabilized, it's great, you will not be overwhelmed by obesity. I feel very comfortable about this diet! ### 5/5 — body care *2018-05-27, version 2.6* The initial effect is to be persistent, control eating. I have tried and felt very good for my body, when the energy diet is reasonable ### 5/5 — Caring for my body *2018-05-27, version 2.6* Very happy! Because my body is always beautiful, not afraid to lose body balance ### 5/5 — Simple App to track my bites *2018-05-21, version 2.6* This app is so simple to use, and the funniest bite calculator I’ve found to maintain portion control ### 5/5 — Summer bodies are made all year long *2018-05-18, version 2.6* It works. Simple, straightforward and wildly effective. Counting my bites helped me reach my goal weight and stay there. I’m ready for summer. ### 4/5 — Really enjoying so far. Needs a few tweaks *2016-06-22, version 2.1* I'm loving the concept and can see that this will have an affect on how much I eat. The talking stomach is well thought out. It tell me what I need to hear at each part of a meal in order to identify if I'm eating for pleasure out just out of habit. It would be great to have a ticker on the app to tell how many bites so far today. I do think the design is a little clunky but it's a free app that delivers. I'll be back in a month to update on any progress I've made with weight loss. To the developer - When I click on the link to learn more and give my email for the 12 week program, nothing comes up. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Disgusting Strategy to Weightloss *2024-06-24, version 3.0.2* I received my degree in Health Promotion, Kinesiology, and Health Education. An app like this is not the strategy of wanting to lose weight. The release of hormones is not triggered by the act of controlling the amount of bites. It’s another weightloss scam that tries to profit off of people’s insecurities. If you want to lose weight. Eat at a calorie deficit everyday. Most people naturally burn 2000 daily , eat 1500-1750 cal. Don’t get scammed by rich people in NY. ### 1/5 — Very helpful *2023-12-21, version 3.0.2* "I'm tired of all these dieting plans, this app really helped me just focus on eating less. And that's all you need." ### 1/5 — Where did my previous purchase go?!! *2023-08-17, version 3.0.2* I previously purchased the full program. When you updated the app, it went away and there doesn’t seem to be a way to restore a previous purchase. How is that fair? ### 1/5 — Not with iPhone 12 *2021-04-19, version 2.10* Doesn’t work in IPhone 12. When you go to the FAQ screen there’s no way to get back to the count screen. ### 1/5 — Big BS *2019-07-16, version 2.6* Just another BS diet of the moment, nothing new if you like to study a little bit. Not just that but also is now mandatory to be purchased in association with another money catch as Physical Mind. ### 1/5 — 80 bites *2014-10-06, version 2.0.4* Save your money! If you can count to 80 or have a calculator that adds you don't need this app. ### 1/5 — Abusive *2014-09-17, version 2.0.4* I got this app expecting advice to help with controlled eatting instead what I find is a button you push to count bites and abusive comments that would trigger an eatting disorder and a they want you to spend $50 a month 80 bites a fancy name for anorexia I'm spreading the word boycott this app ### 1/5 — Buena y cara *2013-01-03, version 2.0.4* La prueba es buena pero después cuesta cara casi 50 dls. ### 1/5 — Good Concept But... *2010-10-09, version 0* As it took 17 bites for me to eat a medium size apple, it didn't leave many bites, of the 25 bite max for a meal. In fact that same apple would be too many bites for a snack, which has a 12 bite limit. Eating like this would leave me extremely hungry and therefore will not work for me. I believe this app is a marketing tool to get you to visit their website and pay to enroll in their health program. ### 2/5 — 80 bite app user *2017-01-30, version 2.1* After using the app for one week twice I've had previous days disappear from the graph. So all I could see was a current day every third day I was using it. It never shows me more than 3 days ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Enjoyable *2024-01-04, version 3.0.2* 80bites has transformed my approach to eating while other diets haven’t been so easy to follow. Its user friendly interface makes portion control easy and enjoyable. Its adaptability makes it an effective choice for anyone seeking a realistic way to manage weight and improve their relationship with food. ### 5/5 — Such a cool App thank you ! *2024-01-04, version 3.0.2* I’m a fast eater and this app so amazing! It really controls the way I eat and how I think different . I will be recommending this app to friends to control my intake and how I chew my food such a great idea 😃 ### 5/5 — Awesome App *2023-12-26, version 3.0.2* 80bites has really helped me on my weight loss journey. I recommend it to everyone. ### 5/5 — It’s really easy and fun to use *2023-12-22, version 3.0.2* 80Bites is a simple and straight forward app that helps you learn to eat less. ### 5/5 — This App Helped Me! *2023-09-11, version 3.0.2* I’ve always struggled with my eating: I’d eat too much (binge), and then feel terrible about my body so I’d eat too little. I was never mindful of how I was eating. I cared too much about what I was eating, and paid no attention to the cues my body gave about being full. This app helped me focus on each meal and each bite, and has helped me fully enjoy food again without feeling guilty. ### 5/5 — This app improved my relationship with food! *2023-09-11, version 3.0.2* I’ve been trying this app for a little bit and it has already changed the way I eat, I feel so much better and I’m actually finally losing weight! 😍 ### 5/5 — Fixed my eating habits *2019-08-22, version 2.9* I’m forget to eat constantly. I will not eat all day, remember at 10pm, then overeat to make up for it!! This app helped me get my eating habit in order, taking care of my constant nausea and lack of energy. I worked up from 30 bites a day to 40 to 50 to 60! Couldn’t recommend more. Now I’ve got a habit I can retain even without using the app ### 5/5 — Simple and effective *2019-07-30, version 2.9* This program is so simple and easy to follow. It takes all the guess work out of dieting. It’s very practical. Eating healthy is all about common sense, and this sums it up. ### 5/5 — Very effective use *2018-05-27, version 2.6* To me, very effective, after persist in eating and using the app, I still have a very standard body like a model! ### 5/5 — Happy to use *2018-05-27, version 2.6* good for health --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
