Leave a Review Food Diary See How You Eat App
Free Version is Not Worth It
The free version of this app has too many limitations to be useful for serious tracking. You can only edit meals for the current day, meaning if you forget to log something from a previous day, you’re out of luck. Additionally, you can only view your 7-day history, which makes it hard to get a good picture of your eating habits over time.
On top of that, the app is extremely spammy, constantly bombarding you with pop-ups to upgrade to the paid version, which gets frustrating fast.
The only features I did like were the ability to add extra photos and the timestamping of entries, but honestly, those perks aren’t worth the hassle. I’m switching to a spreadsheet for more flexibility!Show lesscokeaddict93

I’ve been using this app for a couple of years now to track my meals (not calories) in regards to GERD and IBS. I recently had a few questions regarding the access of my history, as I had let my subscription lapse when things were going well. Mia was not only fast on the reply, but super helpful in resolving my questions too.
It’s been SO helpful to go back and match my symptoms to what I was eating in the days surrounding them. Definitely a multi-functional app. I actually avoid counting calories, and this app does an excellent job of staying neutral in its functionality that way. Really appreciated!Show lessIlaffalot

Loved the visual diary & “tips” section as a bit of daily inspiration, but it maxed out at 4 weeks despite it having a dedicated button in the dock? I didn’t realize I had been using the paid version, and when it expired the app is pretty lame. I thought I was on the free version and I still thought the UI was poor (the best part is the photo grid). I hate only having 91 days of history. I don’t understand the available plans in apples settings view, there’s like 3 different monthly and yearly options from “diary” to “journaling” and they’re too vague to know what I’d actually pay for. The free version is also INCREDIBLY annoying about buying the paid version, which is a turn off in itself.
I’d give the paid version 3.5 stars for being my favorite style of food diary with crummy execution. The extras are confusing to me if they’re paid or not, the UI just generally looks like a scam website or fishing email. It needs regular spacing and more of the nice photography it used very sparsely.Show lessKaleighReviews

Thank you for sharing your experience. We are working on improving the user experience. Thank you for pointing out the naming errors on the subscriptions. We'll fix that. We will also make changes to the history length soon. What comes to ads in free versions: I have not seen one free app without upgrade ads. Think about Duolingo upgrade video ads for example. The idea of ads is to be annoying so that people would upgrade :) But it does not feel fun while using the app; I know, being an active Duolingo user myself. You can also use the "Give Feedback" tab on the app's settings page. We are eager to chat with our users and improve according to their wishes. I hope to talk to you soon.
