### 5/5 — The app is great

*2026-07-14, version 5.452*

The app is great. I love everything about the app helps me reach my goals to help me lose weight.

### 3/5 — I’ve used this app for years, but it seems to have fallen off a bit lately.

*2026-07-13, version 5.452*

First of all I really love the interface. It's a great way for me to visualize the different factors that go into my physical health. However, I have noticed lately that the nutrition database is really buggy and limited. It frequently returns “no results” when I know there should be at least one result (because I added it myself). The barcode scanner almost never works for me anymore when it used to be my go-to for adding food items. The team also seems to really be phoning in the patch notes in their updates. For example, for the past eight monthly releases, every release seems to have added “new steps and challenge widgets and bug fixes and performance improvements for smoother operations” without anything else since December 2025. And before that they “refreshed the user interface for a cleaner, more modern look” in each of the 3 previous releases in 2025. Don’t get me wrong I like the app and use it a lot, I’m just kind of expecting a bit more at this point.

### 1/5 — Calorie Tracker Broken

*2026-06-26, version 5.452*

It looks like ya’ll put an update out every month or so. PLEASE FIX THIS! The app is massively handicapped without it. 
The data base will pull items in if the barcode is scanned, but you currently cannot search for any item that isn’t already in your history. 

Will update review once ya’ll fix this

### 1/5 — Argus food data bank

*2026-06-19, version 5.452*

The data bank is non existent.   If you didn’t add the food item years ago, you’re not gonna find it today.   Talk about not getting your monies worth.   And don’t say update you haven’t put an update in eons.

### 1/5 — Used to love the app

*2026-06-10, version 5.452*

Terrible now. Since the last few updates all the things that were available under the free version are nonexistent. I’ve been on Argus since 2014 so big disappointment but whatever. I bought the premium version for $30 and it’s a waste and I’ve yet to be able to reach anyone about a refund. I bought it, logged back in expecting new features or access to previous ones no longer available without subscription but nothing. Exact same access as the free version. Not worth the money and sadly probably won’t use the app anymore since it’s become so restricted and less user friendly

### 3/5 — It’s ok

*2026-05-28, version 5.452*

Good that everything is in the one place but bad that there isn’t any Australian content in the app….weather is good, Australian food scanning is not,  absence of average heart is bad and also steps for each walk not good..
Water intake in mls instead of glass would also be good.
Catering for the countries that use the app …
America is not the only country on earth

### 4/5 — Steps gone?

*2026-05-21, version 5.452*

I loved this app until suddenly the step count disappeared. There was an option to have the number of steps show on the app itself (when app closed), but not I am unable to find that option in settings. What has changed? Was this option taken away? The app also gives me a message when I close it that life tracking has been disabled. I would love some help getting the step number back!!!

### 5/5 — Sport

*2026-04-27, version 5.450*

Çok güzel bir program ne para ne pul istiyor. Aksine size yardımcı oluyor

### 5/5 — Super Complete App

*2026-03-20, version 5.448*

It has everything a person who cares about their health could want.

### 5/5 — Very good

*2026-03-20, version 5.448*

Top best
