I tried to put in banana & got nothing but processed bananas, not the actual fruit. Tried blueberries, same thing. Do people who use this app eat only processed foods? Also, it appears you can’t just look up a single food; you have to do it by breakfast, lunch, dinner. I’m sorry I didn’t read the reviews on the App Store. ### 2/5 — Too many pop ups *2023-02-13* Overall this is a poor app. It does not have enough saved foods. It seems like it does not always count all the calories and carbohydrates correctly. This app definitely needs some work. ### 2/5 — Did not work *2022-07-03, version 1.2.3* It would not accept my height- 5’2” and didn’t get further. ### 1/5 — Unable to setup *2021-06-11* Unable to correctly setup. Go back each time and it adds kcal each time. By the time I quit, I was at over 8100 kcal for the day. It also doesn’t allow you to correctly choose body type. The app also won’t let quit and start over. So yah… not happy **Developer response:** Hello, thanks for your feedback! Our development team will receive this information. Whenever you need support, please contact us via the "Feedback" section. Your 5* rating would mean a lot to us. Thank you! ### 1/5 — I can’t figure this out. *2021-05-24, version 1.1.9* I do a lot of my own cooking I ### 2/5 — Confusing *2021-05-14, version 1.1.9* I bought the year subscription but am really disappointed had for 2 days and I cannot add things easily. Put in courgette and it came up with risotto. Couldn’t get it to add single courgette. Very frustrating. I want to cancel but cannot see how. It says you can’t cancel if you download, but unless you try it you can’t see that it is not good ### 1/5 — Could not even set up *2021-04-22, version 1.1.9* Log in kept failing ### 1/5 — App Crashes if you add food *2021-04-12, version 1.1.8* Don’t use! Just setup the app and bought the annual subscription, app crashes whenever I try to add food🤦🏼‍♂️. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2021-04-12, version 1.1.8* I have just purchased this app and paid for a years subscription. I can use it as every time I enter in food to search it shuts the app. I would like a refund ### 1/5 — Horrible *2021-04-08, version 1.1.8* App won’t even work it automatic shuts down every time ### 1/5 — Does not function *2021-03-30, version 1.1.8* The app does not function properly in the look up mode or scan functionality. ### 1/5 — Crashes constantly *2021-03-22, version 1.1.7* Unusable. Does not work. The app crashes anytime you go to enter a food item. It’s a shame, because it looks like it would have been a great app. ### 1/5 — Awful app *2021-03-16, version 1.1.7* Everything is in pale colours so you can see what to press. I want low carb but it’s all about calories. Doesn’t have a log of basic low carb meals like the bullet coffee. Just kept asking me to pay well I like to try things out first. To add my breakfast a coffee I had to add each item individually - deleted ### 1/5 — Crap! *2021-02-28, version 1.1.7* This stupid app crashes every time I try to enter anything! It keeps pressuring me to pay for it and it doesn’t even work! Seriously, crap! ### 1/5 — Keeps crashing *2021-02-17, version 1.1.7* Every time that I have tried enter what I have eaten the app crashes. ### 1/5 — App shuts down *2021-01-23, version 1.1.7* Every time I try to add a food the app just completely shuts down ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2021-01-20, version 1.1.6* Purchased the year subscription for this by mistake, not even worth a weeks subscription. There is absolutely nothing than a basic meal planner, that is if you can get it to work. Every time I try to enter anything it throws me out even after reloading. Total waste of money ### 1/5 — Unable to create account. *2021-01-16, version 1.1.6* Unable to sign in or create account. ### 1/5 — Pain in the.... *2021-01-11* The search feature is a joke and when you create your own entries it doesn’t save them. You’ll end up having manually creating your meals every time you make an entry. That explains why there isn’t a free trial period. They want your money before you realize this app is a piece of garbage. -5 stars. **Developer response:** Hello, we are very sorry with the problem you are having!

I cannot find a way to do this anywhere? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t do what it’s supposed to do *2024-09-18* Editing fasts impossible, can’t put in food I’m eating (for example ‘double cream’). Very disappointing ### 1/5 — Very poor data base *2023-04-15, version 10.9.1* Tried 5 everyday products and none of them were in the data base. I should’ve have to pay you to be your data entry processor Not impressed ### 1/5 — Not enough days in May *2023-02-15, version 10.9.1* I downloaded app, can’t put my bd in because the 31 isn’t available in May😢 ### 1/5 — Terrible app - unable to set up profile *2022-03-24* I was excited to find this app. Thought it might help me get control on my eating habits. Never could set up my profile. It would never get past my height. Tried sending msg from the app and it would not accept my e-mail address that I have been using for 10+ years. What a joke!!! ### 1/5 — Not user friendly or even helpful *2022-01-13* Since another popular carb tracker has made some undesirable updates, I decided to look for a replacement. This app does not have a very good database of foods or brands. When you do add an item to a meal, it doesn’t ask you at the time the quantity, so you have to add it then edit it for quantity. There’s no way that I’ve found to adjust your macros. It asks you your info and based on what you want(lose weight), it just gives you your daily numbers. I could not imagine actually paying for this app. In fact, after trying this out, I guess the updates to my original app don’t seem so bad after all. **Developer response:** Hello, thanks for your feedback!

The search feature is awful! Nothing comes up! You also can’t contact anyone in anyway! I neeeeeeed my money back!

You can follow the instruction here to request a refund from Apple. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204084 ### 1/5 — Waste of $$$ *2021-10-18* Other than the sorry food list and unable to update macros manually I didnt use this app for more than 5 minutes before having severe buyers remorse. After searching for a way to contact and request refund (none listed in app) I have issued a request for full refund to the only email actually listed in app. IMO the app is crap and def not worth any money. And hopefully I wont have to spend hours/days tracking down said refund. Buyer beware! **Developer response:** Hello, thank you for using our app!

Got a list of items I would never eat. Demanding a refund ### 1/5 — This app is really bad *2021-07-07, version 1.1.9* Can’t find anything, watermelon fresh does not exist in your vocabulary?
