### 3/5 — Screen doesn’t load

*2026-06-02, version 3.32.0*

Meal plan under daily routine does not load.

### 3/5 — Used to be great

*2026-01-30, version 3.32.0*

This app used to be really great but recently the daily videos and knowledges bites have just been repeating over and over again. I’m not sure if the developers are still maintaining it or if all their effort is now with HAVA app. Hopefully they will see this review and can make this app great again.

### 2/5 — Don’t trust the recipes

*2025-11-14, version 3.32.0*

The information is good, but the number of servings for the recipes keeps changing back to their default values. So you can be partway through cooking 2 servings, and the recipe will start showing quantities for 4 servings.

### 2/5 — No puedo cambiar el idioma

*2025-04-14, version 3.30.0*

La IA del ordenador me explicó que es fácil cambiar el idioma en la aplicación. Pero no lo encuentro  no quiero pagar a premium si no estoy segura que la pueda leer en español

### 4/5 — Alguna mejora

*2025-01-18, version 3.30.0*

Hace unos 3 años +/- ya hice esta dieta con esta app y me pareció increíble y súper intuitiva.
Me he vuelto a apuntar y no es tan sencilla, cuesta encontrar las cosas, si quieres información de lectura, no eres capaz de encontrarlo a la primera, tienes que ir trasteando y después de mucho tocar acabas encontrando las cosas, pero en otro lado al que claro, luego no sabes volver. 
Bfffff me pone un poco de los nervios, la verdad.

### 3/5 — Keeps Freezing

*2024-11-11, version 3.30.0*

Overall I love the app and its design, it’s user friendly and convenient.

My big issue with the app is that it is very buggy.  It freezes up on me every time I use it.  If I navigate away from the app to add an item to an online shopping order when I come back to the app it is frozen and I have to completely close the app and reopen it.  This happens multiple times every time I use the app. Makes it useless.

### 1/5 — Do NOT subscribe

*2024-09-17, version 3.30.0*

Under no circumstance should u subscribe to their premium plan outside of in app purchases. They dont offer refunds unless you subscribe thru apples in app purchase. Why I did, I wish I could tell you. But I’m out $119 now and with no warning of the yearly renewal. They refused my refund request. I’ll be taking this up with consumer reports and the better business bureau.

### 3/5 — Little problem

*2024-08-30, version 3.30.0*

I’ve just downloaded the app again after not using it for a few months. The app has told me a few times that it needs to be updated. Current version on my phone is 3.30.0.  
Version listed on the App Store is the same.

### 4/5 — La recomiendo

*2024-08-20, version 3.30.0*

Tomé el periodo de prueba y en verdad me encantó, la comida super variada y recetas muy ricas. Le quité una estrella porque vienen alimentos que no entiendo para mi español mexicano. Fuera de ahí todo bien.

### 3/5 — Good but can’t adapt

*2024-08-01, version 3.30.0*

This is a good app and the meal quality/ideas are good.
There are some things I think it could do with. Such as showing a breakdown of the nutritional value in each product in the meal (approximately) / being able to edit the meal should you want to. ie plain protein being used, how many more carbs would it be for a flavoured protein I already have. You cant adjust the recipes to what you have available. 
Be good to be able to make up some meals yourself and enter the info in etc.

### 3/5 — Update

*2024-07-30, version 3.30.0*

It ketos asking me to update and goes here but says it’s updated but I don’t have communities in bottom right corner ?

### 1/5 — Not impressed and canceling is a nightmare with hidden fees

*2024-07-11, version 3.30.0*

I tried the app for a month and it was not as user friendly and helpful as I would like.  Canceling was multiple emails and a hidden $15 “Administrative fee” which in not in their “Terms & conditions”.  Not very ethical - beware!

### 4/5 — Great App

*2024-06-25, version 3.30.0*

Its a great app and the recipes are good. Portions does feel slightly large for me who usually doesn't eat three times a day. All good I just adjust as I go. 

A nice improvement would be to allow for more tracking items. Or allow the user to create and add a custom item that can be captured and graphs created. 

I for instance would have loved to track water hydration, fat percentage readings from my scale. Even though the readings on most aren't very accurate, the trend however is and would have been nice to see.

### 2/5 — It almost works for me

*2024-06-24, version 3.30.0*

I’ve tried and tried to tell the app that I can’t have soy. There’s no way to do that. You can say no dairy but you can’t say no soy and no dairy.

### 1/5 — App

*2024-06-11, version 3.30.0*

This app is extremely not user-friendly. I’ve worked on the stupid thing for hours and I still can’t figure it out.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Horrible customer service

*2026-06-05, version 3.32.0*

I canceled this app 2 days after I signed up for the free trial and for whatever reason the app didn’t cancel it and I was charged for a full year membership. I went to the website and was able to cancel it right away but now they won’t give me my money back. It’s not my fault the app didn’t cancel the membership. This is horrible customer service.

### 1/5 — Don’t recommend - very unhappy

*2025-12-17, version 3.32.0*

They give you a free trial and then take all your money

### 1/5 — No ability to specify specific foods to avoid

*2025-10-02, version 3.32.0*

This app only gives you the ability to avoid wide categories of foods like dairy or nuts. No option to avoid soy, specific nuts or specific plants. If you have food allergies or intolerances, this app is useless.

### 1/5 — BEWARE!!

*2025-04-21, version 3.32.0*

I like the app and signed up for the free trial. My partner has used this app a couple of years ago and was billed monthly. I thought I had signed up for a monthly subscription but am absolutely stunned today to find $200NZD withdrawn from my account for the annual fee. I was enjoying the app and was feeling happy to continue and pay the monthly subscription fee. HOWEVER BEWARE- I received no notification or communication to say the 30 day trial was coming to an end and that I would be billed annually and not monthly as suggested when I signed up. The annual fee is not affordable for my family right now and I am completely upset and shocked. I have emailed support and hope that I can be refunded and changed over to a monthly subscription fee. I feel cheated.

### 1/5 — Estafadores

*2025-04-15, version 3.32.0*

Me cobran la suscripción anual de 99,99 cada 14 de Abril y ni me activan la página y ni me dejan DE CARGAR A LA CUENTA

### 1/5 — Cuidado, estafadores

*2025-02-21, version 3.30.0*

Tengan cuidado con lo que aceptan, te llegan cobros que no has aceptado. En mi caso $20. Luego no responden a soporte.

### 1/5 — Poor attitude

*2025-02-20, version 3.30.0*

This is a good app with good resources but the customer support is poor. I recommend that anyone who pays for a subscription ensure that air renewals are off as they will not refund even if you are not using and don’t want the application.

### 1/5 — Subscription per year not per month

*2024-11-05, version 3.30.0*

Be careful it advertises it as per month per will charge your card annual rate.

### 1/5 — Ofrecía 1 mes gratis y me cobraron

*2024-10-30, version 3.30.0*

Nada más que decir, pésimo. Ofrecía. 30 días gratis y al aceptar me cobraron de una vez el mes completo. Vaya farsa.

### 1/5 — Terrible from nutritional perspective

*2024-09-23, version 3.30.0*

Signed up for the premium plan, went through the questionnaire that asked me questions about my biggest problems (weight, cravings, planning) and what I would like to achieve and why other diets didn’t work for me (the food was not good) then popped out terribly boring and monotonous meal plan for a week that is a) not achievable for week number one (2 small meals with a massive calorie count) b) is monotonous, using the same ingredients for most meals. How exactly is this addressing any cravings?
 I picked a meal plan with two meals only and when I open the meals’s page, the breakfast ideas jump into my face.
There’s no way to see the nutritional value for the meal plan for the week, I cannot see how much protein or calories the meals have for example,  unless I click myself through to it.
How exactly the plan like that in anyway sustainable on a long-term basis, what about fibre and micronutrients? I think it’s terrible that it says it’s a science-based App because the meal plan seems useless.

### 5/5 — Best dieting program/I’m a physician and recommend this all the . Lost 140 pounds kept it off 10 y

*2026-01-28, version 3.32.0*

This is an incredible program that stresses education over foolish things that make no sense. They’re even thoughtful enough to consider people‘s budget so that they can work on things that they can afford. It’s a good long-term program for young and old. It does require that you do know how to cook. But it does give you options if you’re not someone so inclined.

### 5/5 — Excellent Diet Tracking App!

*2025-08-05, version 3.32.0*

Excellent diet tracking App! Numerous valuable resources for diet support and robust diet tracking elements to keep you on track to your weight-loss goals. I'm currently down 98 lbs!. Only 27 more lbs to my goal!!!

### 5/5 — Great for beginners

*2025-05-06, version 3.32.0*

Great place to start for new keto beginners or new fitness goers. Easy meals I can cook under 15min, cause with kids that matters! Love the flavor and seasoning each meals offer! Would recommend to anyone

### 5/5 — Simple, satisfying, structured

*2025-04-24, version 3.32.0*

I love the recipes and how you can make enough for the next day’s lunch. I like to cook but making fancy meals every day isn’t realistic. These recipes are easy to find and if you didn’t know they were from Diet Doctor you would never consider them “weight loss” meals. Good enough for guests.

### 5/5 — Very impressed

*2024-11-01, version 3.30.0*

One of the best apps ive used. It helps so much!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2024-04-18*

It is ultra useful to have at hand only keto or low ig recipe !! I especially like the fact that there is lot of fibers ( in the recipes i saw so far) you can see the recipes have been made by dietecian.  You have a free subscription and you can have meal plans or choose what kind of food you want do it based on “origine “ i don’t know how to say it in English i am French like “Mediterranean grec etc” and what i like is that you help create more recipes made by professional of nutrition and more articles science based
I definitely recommend trying it ! It is different from the rest. Very serious. And if you have been keto or low carb for a while it changes to have new recipes

### 5/5 — Fact based guidance to improve health

*2024-03-17, version 3.30.0*

My wife and I discovered the Diet Doctors app about 90 days ago when my doctor wanted to put me on statins. I didn’t want one more pill to take everyday for the rest of my life. I researched many websites and settled here because it is easy to understand, scientific advice on what and how to eat to improve your overall health. 

My wife and I have both improved our health dramatically over the last 90 days. We have lost 65lbs between us, reduced/eliminated our blood pressure meds, my GERD is gone and my wife’s arthritis is in remission with no medication. That’s why we gladly give this app 5 stars.

### 5/5 — Life changing information

*2023-06-22, version 3.28.2*

Delicious recipes, informative videos, meal plans, grocery lists, encouragement and so much more than I have seen anywhere else in an app or a website. I highly recommend! I can promise you won’t be disappointed.

### 5/5 — Me encantó la app

*2023-05-14, version 3.28.0*

Me gusta mucho la app, porque te ofrece una gran variedad de recetas ketos, que por los sabores, satisfacen. 
Además puedes diseñar el menú semanal, te da lista de compras, por lo que no se desperdicia y quita un “peso de encima” al no estar pensando qué comida hacer y ver si tienes los ingredientes a la mano.

### 5/5 — Amazing app!

*2023-05-06*

Besides being a great app for starting or managing a low carb diet, I love that there are so many great recipes and the easy way to organize them on a meal planner, not to mention automatically creating a shopping list. Simply perfect!
