Needs More Food Entries

The app is fairly easy to use, but the food items aren’t updated regularly. The paper version of the food list has much more choice. I think the app has a little more than 500 or so options across all food categories?

Has its quirks

It would be nice to have reminders for diet sheet input, injections, measurements, etc. Looking up recipes sometimes produces a blank screen. The app needs an overhaul.

Doesn’t scale properly in iPads

App doesn’t scale properly with iPads. Words are too big. Boxes overlap. Save and submit button doesn’t show when iPad in Landscape mode.

Terrible

Hasn’t been updated in like a year. Crashes. No technical support. Great for the first 3 days it actually worked in terms of logging info. Please consider investing in updating the app and other features of the program.

It work great - then just quit

I’ve been trying for dats to open my food list. It’s not working. I’m going to try to uninstall and then reinstall, but if that doesn’t work, I’m giving up. It’s really too bad - it was a very helpful tool!!

UPDATE: I uninstalled, and reinstalled, and now it’s working g fine. So, I changed my rating from a 2 to a 4

Recipes and Favorites need improvement

Favorites does not work: Add a recipe to favorites and later go to favorites and it’s not there. Sometimes it works, but mostly not. Then when you try to add it again it says it is already there, but it is not and there is no way to get it into the Favorites.
A lot of recipes have errors in them. Some examples:
1) Some recipes do not state to cook it!! So no idea how long to cook.
2) The herbed tomato soup recipes is wonderful but we needed to add way more water than called for.
3) The apple crisp cooking time is WAY too short.
4) I could provide lots more examples
Clearly the recipes are not tested and not even proof-read!
C’mon, if you are going to offer recipes then please fix this!

Suggestion on next upgrade

I like the APP, but a couple improvements please for next update:
-when adding items to shopping list each time it asked for the serving, that should just auto copy over, it’s very annoying to have to enter the two fields every time!

-for remember password it should be either remember or don’t, it is very annoying that the maximum is two weeks to remember, by that time I would have forgotten it. Im opting to just login every time which is also annoying but it’s better than the remember expiring and then I would have to reset.

I am an active member, they emailed me login details

This is frustrating, I am an active member and the log in details I am entering are what they sent me. But when I log in it’s not giving me access to my tools. It’s treating my account as a guest not cool I paid for this access. Also when I first register I couldn’t log in for 2 days. Then finally was able to log in and view things last night now I can’t? C’mon please get this working right! When it works it’s a great app but atm it’s absolutely frustrating and I am disappointed!

App Crashes

The app is taking a really long time to log in and when it does, it freezes.

Keeps crashing

Worked fine for my first two months but into my third month the app no longer works. Keeps crashing. I requested assistance through the app but they replied to ask at my local Bernstein clinic. It is an app problem.....now resorting to using just the website.

Hardly works

I can barely get anything to load before it freezes. The food lists work ok but logging progress is always a hassle.

Awesome app

Wow I’m impressed! I thought FitBit has a great app & now this! Wow! I can search any food & comes back with both what I can have & recipes the food is used in, add it to favorites and to a shopping list. Truly amazing! I only wish it would also track food consumed so I didn’t have to write it down...would really make that part easier :)

Great support

I found it very helpful during my strict diet stage but it doesn’t support maintenance, food I am now allowed still show as restricted. It would be good if I could tell the app I am in week 4 if maintenance and get the proper information. Other than that I really appreciate having it as a quick and easy tool while grocery shopping and making meals.

shopping list, faves not working + tedious login

I have been trying to add food items & recipes to favourites / shopping lists, but none of them show up in either list. Every time I want to check a food item I have to do a fresh search, and then I can't save any results.

Also, I tried to change settings so my password would be remembered for two weeks, but the settings don't "take" so I have to login every single time I open the app—which BTW logs me out even if I switch to another app for just a moment.

Not convenient.

Shuts down

The app shuts down, stops working and most of the time I cannot log in.

Doesn't work

App doesn't work. Constantly freezes and shuts down. It would be a helpful tool if it worked.

Get with the times.

This app sucks. You need a serious upgrade. Get with the times. Check out weight watcher app. It's great. We pay a lot of money for this diet the least you can do is make it a nice app.

Ctdesrosiers

Worst app ever, no log in remember me function, crashes. Please invest in this basic technology.

Missing one thing

Finally Bernstein has an app.! Will be great having edibles on my phone when g-shopping and meal planning. Unfortunately my current online profile info doesn't port to the app. That would have been pretty slick! Having those back entries, pics, etc would be help full and save time re-entering.
Next update please??⚖
