Seriously basic

Look, it serves a purpose of being able to write in when you ate it’s a very basic one. The app is outdated. PLEASE can you make it so you can edit the time and date of your food diary entry after you’ve submitted it? It’s a long admin proces to re-input all the data (which is editable after you’ve submitted) I don’t understand why you can’t do the date and time too. Also this is my plea for a dark mode, the app is awful contrast particularly when on it at night time / after dark.

Syncing would be good

If accounts across different devices synced, this would be much better

Keeps crashing

Would be a usual tool but constantly crashes

App crashes and unable to use

Originally a very good app that worked without any issues. However, the last few months the apps freezing up and has become almost impossible to use. It can take 15 seconds to even open, then when opened it can take 10-25 seconds to even scroll or open a new entry. Then when I open a new entry/food log it freezes again continual. It will take 10-20 seconds to even let my type my entry, then when im typing it will take 5-10 seconds for each letter to even appear. Then it does the same when trying to add feelings and then it freebies when trying to add the entry. I have to close and reopen the app 3-4 times before I can even attempt to start scrolling.

I actually messaged the people who make this app around 2 months ago to let them know about these issues and that I actually have to use this app alongside ED therapy appointments and I have never had any response. So because of that I am leaving this review because no one has even bothered to acknowledge the issues.

Edit: I have noticed since writing my review it now says they updated it two months ago but this is false. I have not had a single option to update in the whole 11 months I have had this app.

It’s good but

I like it but the animation of swiping between screens and through the logs/adding logs is kinda choppy at times which ruins the smooth feel for me. I have a 14pro max so I don’t think it’s because of the phone I’m using. Other than that, everything’s good. Maybe a tab for “Why did I eat this/how did it make me feel” would be nice.

Good tool for recovery

I really like this app and how much it has to offer. It is really easy to use, but I wish there was a quick-glance section for ‘urges’ as opposed to only a section for behaviours. Also, it would be helpful if the behaviours could be customized because there are some things that I deal with that aren’t listed and I cannot add.

Love it

I love this app!! So helpful and easy to use!!!

Great app

Has been extremely helpful to me in tracking my food, triggers, feelings around food and other things. Very intuitive and easy to use app that works well and gives you flexibility as to how you use it.

Great tool for recovery!

This has been a great help on my road to recovery. However I’ve run into an issue, where my progress hasn’t been tracked since February 17. Today is March 17 and I’m worried my progress isn’t being shown. I don’t know if this is an issue on just my end but I would love to see my progress going forward.

Easy to track with details if needed

I love tracking on this app! I have not found any other food logging apps where there is no calorie counting without it being 5 minutes to log all the details around a meal. My favorite part is the easy to read data sheet you can export for any time period. This is the only way I have been able to consistently log in with a neutral mindset and send the data to my providers.

crashing

i love this app but it keeps crashing !!

LOVE but….

absolutely love this app and i’ve made it a habit to use it everyday. it helps me to realize what i’m putting into my body - from it being healthy to the portion i served myself. the exercises are amazing and remind me of certain DBT skills. BUT! the app crashes and closes every time i try to view the diary tab so i am unable to actually look back on my previous meals. please fix so i can continue using this everyday.

Love it with some feature requests

Love love love this app. It’s perfect! Just two things would make it even better

-allow an option so photos can appear in the export. I share these with my therapist and it would be super helpful if that were on the pdf

-allow the ability to edit the time on a past entry. It’s the only thing that isn’t editable. Sometimes I miss the time field (it’s fairly hidden in the UI) and I want to go back to revise, but I have to re enter everything all over again to change the time.

Again thanks so much for this wonderful app!

I Love This App But..

I really do enjoy this app. It's very helpful, insightful, and a great way to keep me motivated to have my everyday meals. However, I think this app deserves an update. I'd definitely love there to be more activities within the app. Maybe even a calendar like one reviewer mentioned. Would also love to see the continuous crashing getting fixed. The app wasn't crashing when I began using the app, but now it crashes quite frequently. Which is super unfortunate.

Other than that though, I love this app. Thank you to the developers for making such a great up for those of us with EDs and disordered eating habits! 🩷

Freestyle

I love that I can enter my thoughts and feelings whenever I need and it plays calming music and provides a positive thought and inspiration. I woke up today with obsessive food thoughts and began to get frustrated and remembered that I have this outlet so I came here. I also love that I can do the food diary at any time. Obviously- with an ED we don’t necessarily make the best decisions so when the feelings catch up this is an outlet or at the end of a good day we can input our choices and give ourselves a pat on the back. I recommend you give it a try. It is free. After using it I went to look to pay for any premium features and it seems all the features are free. Thank you to the developers!
