### 4/5 — Por enquanto ótimo

*2026-07-27*

Ainda não testei muito e por isso 4 estrelas, mas ume coisa ótima é que não é necessário pagamento.

**Developer response:** Muito obrigado pelo seu feedback e por usar o Arise! 🌟 Ficamos felizes em saber que você está tendo uma ótima experiência inicial e desejamos muito sucesso em sua jornada de perda de peso. 🚀

### 4/5 — Add Fibre please

*2026-06-17, version 45.2.1*

Counting calories is a must if you want to manage weight, plus it’s vital to see the macros. Would get 5 / 5 of it had Fibre count too !!!

### 4/5 — Tracking your food intake made easier…

*2026-06-03, version 45.1.4*

I’m giving this app a 4 star rating I would have given a 5 star rating but the downside of the app is the inability of the app to track my steps/workouts correctly without me having to manually adjust my workouts data even though my app watch has been connected to the app which should make it easier to track. Other than that I have found it easier to track my food intake and my protein consumption a worthwhile app I am enjoying using the app but I do feel tracking my workouts should be improved.

### 3/5 — I have to PAY 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎

*2026-05-11*

No Im not paying it very pricey

**Developer response:** Thank you for downloading Arise and sharing your thoughts with us. We understand that you feel disappointed regarding the current pricing for our premium features.

Since Arise operates without third-party advertising or external investors, our PRO subscriptions allow our team to work every day on providing new updates and maintaining the app - all without unskippable ads! Meanwhile, our PRO users get exclusive access to advanced tools such as the AI scanner, macro tracking, and detailed diagrams to help you achieve your goals efficiently.

Surprisingly well working app as I have tried so many that worked poorly. I love the food photo recognition feature as it  works perfectly and very accurate food weight estimation. Relevant catalogues. Easy screen to log food and see the available balance. Also sync with iPhone health works flawless and very helpful to assess the calories balance. I am still on free version but will buy a PRO one for sure , at least to try. Very happy I am and already getting a new regime in place easily with this app  help

### 1/5 — Развод

*2026-02-27, version 44.5.1*

Все платное и по подписке. Ну сделайте вы тогда платное приложение чтобы один раз купить и все, надоели уже эти подписки и урезанный функционал без подписки

### 1/5 — Туфта

*2025-12-20, version 44.0.14*

Точно

### 1/5 — Muito ruim

*2025-09-28, version 44.0.9*

Não tem como cancelar a assinatura

### 1/5 — Impossível fazer login

*2025-09-28, version 44.0.9*

Paguei pelo pro, não consigo fazer login, só que a senha está errada e não me dá opção de redefinir ou pedir ajuda

### 1/5 — PESSÍMO !

*2025-09-03, version 44.0.5*

Suporte simplesmente te ignora, já receberam mesmo né ?? a gente que lute.

### 1/5 — unfortunately devs don’t test their updates

*2025-08-14, version 44.0.2*

preconditions: list of custom dishes (3rd tab), more than 1 screen.
how to reproduce:
1) press + button to log calories 
2) go to dishes (3rd) tab
3) scroll to the bottom to the last dish
4) change amount of dish - it’s important to reproduce bug 
5) try to click on plus button, you will not be able to do it because BUT IF U SKIP 4tn step than it works

will be happy change rating after bug is fixed

p.s. if there was some way to make bug report without going through 10 circles of hell it would be nice

### 1/5 — Expensive

*2025-07-28*

They don’t mention any purchase price leading you to believe it is free. You try to use it and they make you pay to get started. And no price given even!

**Developer response:** Thank you for reaching out to us about your experience with the Arise calorie counter. Please note that it’s not compulsory to become a paid user of Arise. After first downloading the app, our users have the opportunity to become PRO members, but it’s always possible to continue using the free version of Arise by tapping the ‘x’ at the top of the screen. We hope this helps and that you are able to use Arise! If you are still experiencing difficulty please contact us at support@arise-app.com.

### 5/5 — So easy

*2026-07-08*

I used this app last year to loose weight so I could eat whatever I wanted on a 3 month holiday it was great 
Helped me realise what was good what was just not worth it 
So I’m back from holiday and ready to drop my holiday kilos and NOW we have AI at its best which has made weighing measuring and entering a thing of the past 
Take a photo and press enter done I didn’t trust it at first so measured everything weighed it and the only difference was a couple of kj either way glorious best app ever

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your feedback and welcome back! We are thrilled to hear that Arise helped you prepare for your holiday last year and that you’ve returned to reach your new goals. It is fantastic that our AI scanner has made logging so much easier and that you found it to match your manual measurements so closely. We aim to make weight loss as seamless as possible, and we are rooting for you as you drop those holiday kilos and get back into your routine! 🌟📸💪

### 5/5 — Toll gemachte App

*2026-07-07*

Ich habe die App schon damals benutzt wo sie noch klein war und fand sie schon toll. Heute benutze ich sie seit einer Woche wieder und gleich ein Abo gemacht. Ich finde den schnell Tracker gut und auch das die Lebensmittel nach rot, orange und grün aufgeteilt sind. Auch das an der Seite bei den Kalorien der Lebensmittel steht wieviel man laufen oder Rad fahren müsste um das Lebensmittel wieder abzutrainieren. Man bekommt ein Bewusstsein für Kalorien und Makronährstoffe. Die App ist übersichtlich und trotzdem schön gemacht. Die Datenbank ist riesig und ich finde immer alles was ich tracken will.  Auch am Ende den Tag abzuschließen finde ich sehr gut. Man kann dadurch Genusspunkte sammeln die ich jetzt nicht nutze aber für den einen oder anderen als Belohnung gut sein werden. Ich hoffe das die App so bleibt so ist sie einfach toll

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für Ihre aktualisierte Bewertung! Es ist toll, dass Sie uns weiterhin treu bleiben – und vor allem, dass Ihnen unsere neuen Funktionen gefallen. Wir haben sie entwickelt, um das Leben von Mitgliedern wie Ihnen zu verbessern. Es ist uns immer eine Freude, von Ihnen zu hören, und wir wünschen Ihnen alles Gute!

Vielen Dank, dass Sie Arise für Ihre Reise zum Abnehmen gewählt haben! Es ist schön zu hören, dass Sie Ihre Zeit bei uns genießen. Wir bieten derzeit keine empfohlenen Tagesmengen für Makros an, aber wir werden Ihre Empfehlung an unser Entwicklerteam weiterleiten. Wir werden auch Ihre zweite Anregung in unsere Liste aufnehmen. Wir wissen Ihr Feedback wirklich zu schätzen, da es uns hilft, als App zu wachsen und eine größere Wirkung auf unsere Nutzer zu erzielen. Nochmals vielen Dank und wir wünschen Ihnen viel Erfolg auf Ihrer Fitnessreise! 💪

### 5/5 — Tudo dentro da app

*2026-06-25*

Simplesmente incrível!

**Developer response:** Muito obrigado! Ficamos felizes que esteja gostando do nosso contador de calorias! 🌟🙌

### 5/5 — So happy

*2026-06-23*

This app is the best I’ve used. It tracks perfectly. The free features are amazing I used them for awhile and you do not need to purchase the yearly subscription. I chose to pay for the subscription recently to help support the app creators and learn more about nutritional goals

**Developer response:** Edit: We wholeheartedly appreciate your support and are looking forward to hearing your feedback on Arise PRO!

 We're elated to receive your positive feedback! There's no higher praise than knowing that Arise is reaching its goals by helping users with calorie counting and nutritional goals. Thank you so much for letting us know and we wish you the best in your experience with us! 🙌😄
