### 1/5 — Chat crashes

*2025-03-07, version 1.6.7*

Chat crashes all the time. If you are supposed to share your food, pics and progress who can you? So frustrating and I just stated the program.

### 2/5 — Hire a betr Web-Dev

*2024-10-07, version 1.6.5*

The program is awesome. It’s effective, it’s not too restrictive, and they work with you every step of the way. 

The app and website, however, are dreadful. The “Recipes” page doesn’t match the recipes that are attached to your meal planner’s recipes (they should be the same on both pages, and not missing from one or the other?). Some of the Daily logging functions don’t work. The menu is counterintuitive and is hard to navigate. If there was a place to leave feedback, I would say this there instead. Unfortunately, you just get some random AI bot that replies with incorrect information when you try to reach out.

### 1/5 — junk app, buggy & laggy

*2024-05-11, version 1.6.2*

horrible app, constantly weekly reminder to buy their meal service.
every few weeks require to login again and again!

### 1/5 — Nonfunctional

*2024-02-28, version 1.6.2*

I’ve tried but can never get it to launch or sign in. All it does is open a pop that says “You Deserve Betr” …it never loads, it never does anything. It does not function.

### 5/5 — Great Results

*2023-11-16, version 1.6.1*

I recently embarked on a life-changing journey with Betr Health, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the incredible results and the overall experience. This program exceeded my expectations in every aspect, from education and customer service to food recommendations and their user-friendly app.

### 5/5 — Great way to stay on track!

*2023-11-13, version 1.6.1*

I have been part of betr for slmost 3 years and it keeps getting better!   I love that the daily articles are sent directly to my chat and that my coach checks in with me every day!   Great experience!

### 5/5 — Try it you won’t regret it

*2023-11-13*

I've been using this health program for a while now, and I'm genuinely impressed. The personalized approach has made a significant impact on my well-being. The comprehensive guidance on nutrition and lifestyle choices has not only helped me achieve my health goals but has also fostered a sustainable and healthier lifestyle. The user-friendly interface and regular updates keep me engaged and motivated. I highly recommend this program to anyone looking for a holistic and effective approach to improving their health.

**Developer response:** Hi Fid! We are so pleased that you enjoyed the Betr meals! That is fantastic meal planning as well. If there is anything we can do for you, just let us know at ask@betrhealth.com! Have a wonderful day!

### 5/5 — Easy to use app

*2023-11-13, version 1.6.1*

Food is easy to log, all you do is eat the foods from the phase one list and submit a photo and can add all the food tags if you like.  Al the tracking is simple like most other apps.  List 17 pounds after phase two!

### 5/5 — Betr is the best!

*2023-11-11, version 1.6.0*

Betr Health has been a lifesaver for me and while the app struggled during covid, it is a phenomenal app. It has so much information that I never get tired of using the app…after two years on Betr!

### 5/5 — New & improved app

*2023-11-10, version 1.6.0*

I love this program! The coaches are great and really vested in your success. The recipes and easy and delicious. It's a solid, gut healing protocol if you want to lose weight the healthy way.
