### 4/5 — Decent App

*2023-05-12*

I really dislike that they took away the scan option for logging food. It was helpful on busy days, but once you’ve logged something it is easy to find in your history. I wish you could save a meal so that’s it’s easier to log during the week as I often reparation things that work for my net balance goals. 

The advice portion is a bit mundane. Suggestions would be better if they included foods to get you were you need to be. I often get the same advice daily which doesn’t seem super helpful. A verity would be more helpful. 

Overall this is a great way to keep track of what you are eating and a way to motivate you to keep on working toward your health goals. You can’t beat the paid price and for the most part I'm happy with it.

### 1/5 — No Japanese

*2023-04-10*

Why I can’t choose Japanese version in Canada?

### 1/5 — Dan to sign up for an app that changes when you pay for the worse

*2023-03-28*

Removing the scanner option leaves no reason to pay for this app.

### 3/5 — More Diagnosis Options

*2022-12-03*

I am using this to track meals for my wife.
She has: Congestive Heart Failure, COPD and kidney problems so she is on a very low sodium diet with a fluid restriction.  She's also diabetic so she needs to watch her carb intake.
The app seems to do well for tracking what she eats but it is seriously lacking at observing and advising for her restrictions.

### 4/5 — Good App :))

*2021-09-27*

I enjoy the app so far. I like how you can add foods and find foods by the barcodes. I also like how it tells you what nutrients you need more or less of like sodium, fats, potassium, fiber, etc. I would like it more if it had sugar and added sugar apart of the nutrients you need more or less of. Other than that I enjoy it :))

**Developer response:** Thanks for taking the time to review us. Yes, the barcode scanning function is so quick and helpful! We hear you about the sugar feedback. It is a tricky situation for our team of nutritionists actually...we source our food data from multiple sources (Pros = more food data. Cons = not all data sources have the same data available). One of our sources is the USDA official database which has sugar data included in the source data. But their database isn’t always as up-to-date as some third party food databases we purchase. Think of companies that are constantly offering a new snack or drink product for the summer...the USDA is a bit slow to add those to their database. But third party companies are quick to add that information (especially barcode scanning information) and we license that info from their constantly updated database. Unfortunately, those third-party databases sometimes have gaps in some nutrients (often being sugar details). So some of our data doesn’t have sugar data, while some does. Our nutrition team is always working to research and add sugar data (and any other missing data) to fill any gaps in our database. But it taking longer than expected for our small team. Apologies about that.

### 2/5 — Detailed but lacking

*2021-08-18*

the details on what u need more and less of and possible foods to eat is very helpful. tracking ur daily calorie output as well is too however there is one big issue. When creating foods you can only do calories and nutrients when u should be able to create meals and recipes that u can tweak depending on how much u eat or cook with. For example, ground beef mashed potatoes and cheese should be able to be put into a meal that can be always easily accessible without having to relog everything that went into a meal everytime.

the exercise is full of problems. first you can’t search or add in the calories yourself so i had to just pick yoga and change it til it gave me the calories and i used a separate app to get those calories since this app just did not have what was necessary. also workouts need to be able to be logged with time OR reps. i am not counting my push-ups or sit-ups with time i count them by how many i do as nearly everyone does. 

i originally was giving a 3 star review but after seeing the exercise i have to give a 2 star review.

**Developer response:** Thanks for taking the time to share your honest feedback. We hear you about adding the ability to add recipes and meals. It is on our (long) list of improvements. As is addressing the Exercise section and added a much needed search bar there. While your 2 star review hurts (especially since we are small team of just a few people)...it does help to hear this kind of feedback from users (happy and not) so we can reassess our priorities of what we work on next. So for that, thank you. Your feedback was heard and taken to heart.

Hopefully in the future you will check us out again and we can earn an updated/improved review from you.

### 2/5 — Could be better

*2021-05-29*

The barcode scanner rarely if ever brings up accurate information. This would give good advice on what to avoid or add for meals if you’re okay manually entering in all the nutritional information for what you eat. I’m not going to sit and type all that out on my tiny phone keyboard, so deleted the app.

**Developer response:** Hi Griff,

Thanks for taking the time to review us. Wow, sorry to hear the barcode scanner didn't bring up good info for you. We usually hear good feedback about this feature. We know you already deleted the app :( but if possible, could you email support@askendiet.com and let us know what kind of packaged items our barcode scanner didn't have so we could investigate. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Great App For Losing Weight

*2021-05-07*

This app has been really helpful for keeping my daily calorie intake down. I have really seen good results over the past month or so. The app interface is a little complicated but you get the hang out it quite easy. Definitely recommend 🤙

**Developer response:** Aww thanks for the glowing review. We are happy to hear it. As for the app interface...we are constantly trying to improve. Our app actually originated in Japan so we have been in the process of adjusting the app interface from Japanese preferences to Canada/US preferences. If you have suggestions on how/where we can improve regarding the interface, we'd be happy to hear from you. Email: support@askendiet.com and tell us about it.

### 5/5 — Awesome to loose weight!

*2021-04-02*

I was able to loose weight with this app. Started in January and it’s April now and I lost 6lbs. I just log in all my food and it helps keep track of how many calories I intake each take. Also helps with keeping track of your protein, iron, vitamin etc intake. Highly recommend

**Developer response:** Thanks for the nice review. 6lbs down is no joke! Keep it up. Our app will guide you to sustainable weight change as you continue to log food items. Some people might think the weight change progress is slow, but our nutritionists are doing it this way so that the changes stick long term. You got this!

### 5/5 — Review

*2021-03-23*

I love this app it has helped me a lot to try and keep on track with my food. It also says what other things to eat which is very helpful. It calculates your calories and so much more. An awesome app to try.

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for the kind review. We agree, it is an awesome app to try. Keep up the great work with your diet. Our whole team is cheering you on!
