### 3/5 — Where is the paid version?

*2011-11-28*

Not a bad app actually but where is the paid version so I can stop seeing that huge ad??

### 1/5 — fake program

*2010-03-03*

I want my money back, this program is a fake program. I found a free program so much bether!!

### 1/5 — Horrible!!

*2009-12-11*

Using 60% of the screen to promote other horribly written apps/ads. Major scrolling issues with entry and the fields to enter things into go into alpha mode, so you have to constantly switch to numerical keypad. The BMR calculations are insanely off, by about 1000 calories for every 100 Lbs. The app is unpolished, feels like it was written in 5 minutes just so the developer can put "wrote iPhone apps" on his resume.

### 2/5 — Mehr erwartet

*2009-10-19, version 0*

Ich habe genau so etwas simples gesucht. es sollten einfach nur kcal manuell erfasst werden, ohne diese über lebensmittel zu suchen. auch die optionale kcal berechnung ist ok, allerdings hätte ich erwartet, dass die umsetzung besser ist. das scrollen im programm ist überflüssig, die werbung für andere apps nervt und man kann offensichtlich die daten der vergangenen tage nur sichern, indem man sich die daten mailt. warum ist im app selbst keine datenbank vorhanden? kostenlos wäre es ok, aber für 79 cent hoffe ich, dass im update noch was folgt...

### 1/5 — Deutsches Update

*2009-06-10, version 0*

Beschreibung ist Deutsch aber das Programm selbst Englisch 
Woher soll ich den mein Gewicht in lb oder meine Größe in inches wissen???
Daher wäre ein Deutsches Update besset !!! Dann gibt es auch mehr Sterne...wenn nicht dann ist dieses Programm sein Geld nicht Wert !!!

### 5/5 — Worth every Penny!

*2009-05-10*

Buy this app, it is simple which make you use it again and again and in two weeks i have lost 4 lbs of fat. Amazing app
