### 1/5 — Ditto privacy issue

*2020-10-25*

Please add an option to register and sign in with an email address. I do not want to use Google or Facebook to log into this app.

### 1/5 — Privacy issues

*2020-10-14*

Be aware that this app requires you to login with a Facebook or Google account. 

If you have lived this long without either of those, you are probably like me and object to handing data about yourself, your pets, your purchases, etc to these corporate giants. For free. For them to sell to advertisers. Cornell is a non profit and this is a conflict of interest. 

Cornell’s developers should _at least_ inform you of this before you download. Ideally they should offer a standalone version so you can calculate cat calories in privacy.

I would give zero stars if possible because I won’t use it as is.

### 1/5 — Bummer!

*2025-10-02*

Such good and needed information advertised, but app is currently non functional and only shows a red screen. I tried deleting and reinstalling but that didn’t help either.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t load

*2025-01-31*

Not sure what the app is supposed to be like - it doesn’t load. Just a big red screen.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t load

*2025-01-13*

Logged in via google and immediately stuck on blank orange screen. Never made it into the app

### 1/5 — Just a Big red rectangle

*2025-01-11*

The entire app is just one screen, which is literally just a big red rectangle, and absolutely nothing else.

### 1/5 — doesn’t work :(

*2024-12-16*

The screen is just fully red when i open the app, I’ve waited for it to load incase that’s why it was just blank but after waiting i realized the app is just broken unfortunately

Unfortunately poorly designed & extremely frustrating. Not user friendly.  No login using Apple ID? Deleted it & going back to manual documentation & calculations. Ugh!

### 3/5 — A little more details will be great

*2024-04-08*

I use for my 8years old cat who needs to lose weight.
This is a great app, though I wish it to be more detailed.
1) There are only 2 choices for cat’s figures being overweight.

2) I wish I could put cat’s weight like 5.55kg, I got warning (which is great as an app)My cat is losing too much weight because I only could input like 5.5 kg, huge difference for a cat.

### 3/5 — Not user friendly

*2021-06-30*

I am trying to get a handle on my two cats’ weight. When I log a feeding, the time doesn’t show up right. Sometimes all the times for the day show the most recent time that I fed them. Also, it would be nice to edit a feeding instead of having to delete it and log it all over again especially because you’re not able to edit the time. The time just records whenever you log the feeding.

Like the other reviewer, I do find it frustrating to have to enter my own wet food every time I open a new pack. The app only has the 3oz cans already in the system and I buy the 5.5oz to share with my two cats each feeding. Also, I haven’t found a way to delete the 3 oz can that I put on my list so now I have to guess if I’m selecting the 5.5oz or the 3oz. 

Additionally, I’d like to see a way to track their urination and defecation. My cat recently was hospitalized for not being able to defecate and I need to make sure he is going enough times a day.

Hopefully, the makers can edit some of these problems because this is the only food and weight tracking app for pets that I’ve found.

### 3/5 — Frustrating

*2020-05-02*

I’m giving it the benefit of the doubt because the concept is good but it needs work. When you add a wet food you are asked for the calories per ounce and the weight of the can.  This should be the number of calories in the entire can; information supplied on the can label. The can sizes offered are only 3, 5, 5.5 and 6 ounces, not flexible enough. I had a can weighing 5.8 ounces. Once you enter a food, it can’t be edited, you can only delete it and re-enter it. Right now, the database of cat foods is limited, meaning all the foods I feed my cat had to be entered from scratch. If the database is expanded, this would save a lot of time. I look forward to seeing improvements - my cat needs to lose 2 pounds.

### 2/5 — App needs a lot of work

*2023-02-02*

Can't log basic straight forward information consistently.  Won't accept info when logging in a feeding. Right out of the gate, this app doesn't work.
