UPDATED REVIEW

Well. Highly responsive dev. Responded to my review within a day, responded to my description of the problem within a day of my more detailed email, and shipped an updated version of the app a day after that. I have been moved from disappointed to impressed. Well done!

Lifetime unlock gone

This dev offered a promotional free lifetime license a few months ago which I claimed. I played around with the app for a few days but put it aside until I had time to start working with it seriously. I reinstalled it today to begin to do so and found that all premium features are locked, the only “Pro” offerings are subscriptions, and there’s no lifetime license to be found in the UI to Restore (although the lifetime in-app purchase is still listed in the AppStore). Disappointing.

It’s a good app but…

You can’t scan food and you can only put it in using keyboard no microphone either but it sets your goals based on what you put in it and it’s a good app just need to improve that

Thanks for the feedback. Updated: We've added AI food scanning (taking a photo of your food) to the app now 😊

Very responsive dev

I asked the dev if it would be possible to also share nutrition data with Apple Health, I’m T1D so this helps me track carbs & how they affect my BG, it only took a few days for that to happen, impressive.
I like the clutter free clean UI a lot, even better now that helps manage my BG

Thank you so much! I'm glad you like it! 🤩 If you ever have any other feedback, please let me know and I promise to do my best to deliver a great experience!

Almost perfect!

- When searching for a food, it will help to be able to change the portion size. Maybe is possible and I don’t know how to do it.

If we could import recipes or create our own recipes, and then be able to know how many cal / carbs per portion (similar to Lose It or Cronometer) will be amazing.

Love the clean uncluttered UI

Great calorie and macro tracking

The only reason I gave it four stars is because I feel as though the calories burned for each exercise is more generalized than it is accurate for each person. I definitely think that it would be ideal if each person was able to put in their own calorie burned total or were able to at least edit it. That way I could keep the generalized setting for people who don’t want to edit it. Otherwise, this app is really awesome.

Thanks so much for the feedback and the kind review! 🤩 You’re right, calorie burn can vary a lot. There’s a way to do this but it requires a premium subscription > you can add custom exercises and set your own calorie values. That way, you can fine-tune it to your needs.

希望增加支持中文

Great app! Please add Chinese support so more people can use it.

I’m moving to Europe soon, and I hope the food search / scan feature will work there

I appreciate it a lot! If you ever have any improvement suggestions let me know in the "Contact Us" section of the app 😊

Almost perfect

Add adjustable macronutrient goals and the app is perfect. For example I’m cutting right now but need to consume more protein in order to maintain muscle so the default settings don’t really list the correct protein goal. If we can have adjustable presets I believe this app could be perfect.

pen and paper works better

issues ive run into
- trying to remove meals from future days messes up the pop up and i can no longer use it on that day of the week (im referring to the pop up including remove meal, clear meal contents etc.)
- logging food past midnight for a past day, it seems to log correctly the night of then when i check what i ate later in the week everything has been moved an extra day back than when i had logged it (eg logging what i ate wednesday on Thursday at 12:30am then checking on friday and seeing those logged foods were put on tuesday)
- one i open one day it keeps sending me back to the “current day” logging page if i even swipe slightly wrong the screen so i feel like i have to be super delicate with the app

the interface of this app has been my favorite thus far its cute and aesthetic but a pain to use, you cant ask people to pay for an app that doesnt even have basic working functionality for free users, i had wanted to upgrade but the upgrade features are not that worth it and on top of that the bugginess has made me want to delete the app as weeks of progress has been lost due to the previously mentioned issues with logging prior days

im going back to using pen and paper this app is so bad (but cute)

I’m just using this after having it downloaded for like a month or two, and I can’t wait to implement it into my daily life. I’m overweight for my age (14….) at 5’5’’ and I just wanna feel confident in my body. This is going to be a huge help, I’m sure!!!
