I only would like to be able to add what I ate that is not part of the menu easier. ### 4/5 — No scanner/Weight issue *2019-05-24, version 1.65.2* I love the app but when adding my own food I wish there was a barcode scanner. I also wish it didn’t tell me I needed to maintain my weight when I still had some to lose. ### 4/5 — Just started *2019-05-21, version 1.65.2* Was on keto once before and lost weight. My carbs were too low so I went off. This makes it so much easier. All the recipes I have tried have been great. ### 4/5 — Great app *2019-04-30, version 1.64.2* This app is by far the easiest menu planning method to help keep me on track. As a mother of two who works full time I find planning to be the hardest part of sticking with a healthy lifestyle. The only things that would make this better for me is to have an option to increase recipe servings that would automatically update the increased items on the shopping list. This way I would be able to decide which meals to make for the whole family, which ones to make more of so I have leftovers, and which ones I only need one serving of, without having to redo my shopping list. I love the “challenges” feature, it really motivates me!! **Developer response:** Hi m&jmommy and thanks for your detailed feedback. We have passed on your comments to the development team. Good luck with reaching your goal! The DietWiz Team. ### 2/5 — Not enough recipe selections *2019-04-28, version 1.64.2* Just paid subscription today and trying to make my menu for the week but not much of a variety to choose from, keeps giving me the same recipes over and over and over until I finally had to chose some recipes that didn’t interest me just to get through the menu. Not happy with this purchase and already cancelled my subscription, thankfully only out the $9.99 and not the annual fee. I’ll just stick with my CarbManager app! Kinda disappointing as I did see a few recipes that interested me. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! Please feel free to leave suggestions for improvement via the app. The DietWiz Team. ### 4/5 — DietWiz *2019-04-28, version 1.64.2* Only problem I have is when I click on the button inside the recipe to the right it brings me to another screen with instructions but was unable to get out of that screen. Had to delete app and start all over. Otherwise, great recipes and easy to follow. **Developer response:** Hi Moll5 and thanks for your detailed feedback. We have passed on your comments to the development team. Good luck with reaching your goal. The DietWiz Team. ### 3/5 — Diet app review *2019-04-28, version 1.64.2* This app has great visuals. I like the planned menus using foods I like, but the app is confusing to use. Many times I get stuck on a page and cannot find the pathway back to home page. Very frustrating! ### 3/5 — Seems simple *2019-04-20, version 1.64.1* Just downloaded and created my first weeks menu. I will start in a week. Seems simple enough but will re-evaluate after one month ### 5/5 — Step by step *2019-04-16, version 1.64.1* I have enjoyed the ease of use and the meals and choices. I just wish there was a tutorial in exchanges. I do really like this program structures so far but only been a day. ### 4/5 — Good just one issue *2019-04-16, version 1.64.1* So far so good. The recipes are fairly easy. I do not like that I can’t change the orientation of the app. Holding my phone sideways is not always conducive to what I need. Please look into changing the app orientation. Thank you very much. ### 5/5 — First day *2019-04-14, version 1.64.1* Just starting but love the menu selection and how they email you the grocery list! ### 4/5 — Almost 5 *2019-04-14, version 1.64.1* Would be 5 if the ability to do a dairy free, gluten free keto was available but as soon as I select keto, all other options are out the window and if I select anything besides keto, keto is out the window... ### 5/5 — Teena *2019-04-06, version 1.63.8* This really takes a lot of the guess work for busy people..also great recipes which helps u stay focused..and might add delicious too ### 5/5 — March is the month to get started *2019-03-12, version 1.63.2* Very useful information! Can’t wait to get started! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Just cancelled 1 hour later *2021-01-05, version 1.65.8* The recipes are poorly written simple poor use of English. The meal planning gave me green beans only for dinner. There is no contact and support. Have to cancel thru Apple, which I did, but it’s still shows up now with no option to cancel. So the Trial period offer is bogus. Subscribing the only way to see the app at all. I purchased and canceled another way the same way and it worked. So it’s this App. Danger danger Will Robinson. ### 1/5 — Deceptive pricing *2020-09-19, version 1.65.8* There is no free trial which I understand but I thought I was purchasing the app access for at least a month. The app isn’t something I can use so I went to cancel it. I was surprised to find that my subscription was by the week and was $1 more than a monthly membership. So beware and read the fine print when signing up for the app. ### 1/5 — Do NOT waste your money! *2019-04-26, version 1.64.2* I purchased an started swiping left and right to pick out my first weeks menu, because this looked like an awesome app! I carefully reviewed each suggested recipe. My “diet” I picked was gluten free paleo. Why then did a recipe get suggested that had WHEAT BREAD? Also, one recipe had “cooking instructions” with ingredients listed that did not match the “ingredients list”. One recipe was completely missing cooking instructions. One had missing portion sizes - especially important for a seared ahi tuna steak if you are trying to keep track of calories? This was all before I got halfway through selecting recipes for the week. Lost complete faith in this app! Also - I LOVE to cook - I DO! But the complexity (while the recipes look/sound delicious) of the recipes are too much for the average person for every day of the week for lunch and dinner (gave up before making it to the breakfast recipes - so cannot comment on those). I don’t have time for this and don’t have money for a personal chef - real life struggles!!! I hope it works better for others (maybe your diet plan dealt you better recipes??), as the format has potential! **Developer response:** Hi KMJ1541 and thanks for your feedback, please feel free to leave suggestions for improvement via the app and we will be happy to assist you further.

Went to cancel subscription. Got to place where it shows you how to cancel, of course I have 3 months to use app because that is how I signed up. But Guess what I can not get off the cancel instructions page to go back into app. A big rip off! ### 1/5 — Not Carb Friendly *2019-01-02, version 1.59.8* Maybe I’m doing something incorrectly, but the recipes I found each had around 20-40 carbs per meal. Looks like a great app if you are counting calories, but I’m counting carbs. Really wish I could have previewed some recipes before I spent the $29ish for a 3 month use of an app that doesn’t help me. Again the recipes looked super for calorie counters - so if that is you - good app. ### 1/5 — If you want easy meal planning this is not it. *2018-11-18, version 1.57.2* I do all my prep work one day a week and this app makes it harder. In order to print the recipes you have to do screen shots and print them which is time consuming. Plus, the recipes are for one serving so if have a family you need to make the necessary changes. It is just more time consuming. The recipes are simple, easy and good if you add spices. I found the customer service to be difficult by not responding. I did not want this app but after reviewing it I noticed a charge on my card and could not get a response from customer service. Because I paid for $45 I decided to use it but then the app wasn’t working. They did fix it but they are just out to make a buck. They only respond to certain emails and they are not timely. ### 1/5 — Awful app & worst customer service *2018-09-05, version 1.51.0* I purchased this app & really wanted to love it. But it is horrible. Full of glitches. I want to lose weight & it wants to set my calories at 2300. When I manually adjust my calories to 1500, it sends me menus for 1800 to 2000 calories. I asked for a refund multiple times within days of purchasing this app, due to my displeasure with it and have received nothing but the run around. I will be contacting Apple to file a formal complaint as I should be able to get my money back if I'm dissatisfied. DO NOT PURCHASE!!!! **Developer response:** Hi Christine! The DietWiz app was designed by a team of registered dietitians with many years of experience. To successfully lose weight and keep it off, slow and steady wins the race. We have calculated your BMI and weight and the number of calories you should be eating every day. If you successfully stick to your plan, the weight should start to drop. If you wish to eat fewer calories than we recommend simply click on the ‘Advanced Settings’ and change the number of calories you wish to consume in a day. We will be happy to assist you further via the app. Yours, The DietWiz Team ### 1/5 — Rip Off *2018-06-20, version 1.46.1* I signed up for a “free” trial period for this app. I had to go ahead and give my payment information at the sign-up. That’s fine, I’m use to that. The app charged my account immediately, and has charged it 2 more times in a week. My bank shut down my debit card because of it. I just got a message less than a week from the last charge from this app telling to update my payment information to continue using the app. I didn’t use it, and have found a much better app that I have upgraded from the free version because I like it so well. I deleted this app almost as soon as I used it. Don’t get this app! **Developer response:** Hi LorrieOR! So sorry to hear this. We would love to look into this further for you. Once you log in please contact our support team via the app. You can also contact us via our contact-us page http://www.dietwiz.com/contact/ for more assistance. We are here to help. Yours, The DietWiz Team. ### 2/5 — Can’t not download grocery list *2022-10-02, version 1.65.8* I like the idea of this but after I created my weekly plan I tried to email myself the grocery list and menu and would not send. I checked my email was spelled correctly and checked my spam. I have tried multiple times to email it to me and will not work. And I paid for the membership! How am I suppose to prep my meals if I can’t have this information. I sent a message to support 2 days ago and no reply. Let’s see how long it takes them to get back to me. Will update review then. ### 2/5 — OK at best. *2021-08-24, version 1.65.8* It would be four stars if free, but the fact you have to pay for it drops the rating significantly. The best feature about this meal planner is that it will meal plan all day for you with a health rating for each meal. Other than that the recipes are uninspired, lack diversity, and measures vary from recipe to recipe. Some that surely must be a misprint: 1 cup of cocktail sauce for two fish sticks? Don’t pay for this app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Diet Wiz app *2020-08-24, version 1.65.8* I love this app. Makes it easy to do keto or low carb. Recipes are quick and easy and good for the whole family. You get to switch it up weekly and it gives you a grocery list. Once you get the main stables in your house shopping is quick and easy. I don’t ever feel like I am missing bread products ### 5/5 — Easy recipes at your fingertips *2019-12-30, version 1.65.8* Actually recipes you can make easily ### 5/5 — I love this app!!! *2019-12-26, version 1.65.8* I have been using this app for almost a week. I love it. It is so easy. They supply the menu, the recipes, the grocery list, everything!!!! It is so easy to use, with super easy recipes. I even have leftovers to eat for another meal. This is a diet I can stick with. Great job Dietwiz!!!! **Developer response:** Hi LadybugLeAnn! Thanks for your kind words :) Hoping you follow us well into 2019! The DietWiz Team. ### 5/5 — So Easy *2019-10-03, version 1.65.6* This app is really working for me I have lost 10 pounds so far. It is easy to plan ahead so meals are available when I need them. I love the fact that the recipes are attached to the cards. I frequently forgot to have lunch because I would get busy at work with this program since I have to plan ahead a bit I have been remembering to eat lunch every day which really has improved my energy level. ### 5/5 — Lots of options *2019-07-09, version 1.65.6* I like being able to choose my diet format that best fits my needs. I feel that this program will give me the tools I need to not only loose the weight I want to get rid of but also gives me the time to learn how to keep the weight off. I already know how to lose I just never had the proper tools to learn the maintenance long enough to be successful. ### 5/5 — Looks promising *2019-05-23, version 1.65.2* Just joined. Looks good so far. Looks to be a thorough and rather easy platform to plan out my keto menu plans. I may have to change my current app for this one. 🙂 ### 5/5 — Keto after 60 *2019-05-21, version 1.65.2* I thank you for the recipe you make for me! I am excited to see where it goes! More power to you all! ### 5/5 — Diet Wiz *2019-04-25, version 1.64.1* Is so simple yet it provides you with a meal plan & grocery list. I am looking forward to a healthier way of life. And best of all it’s on my phone. ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2019-04-23, version 1.64.1* Great app. I’m just getting started but so far it’s been easy. Looking forward to using the program. ### 5/5 — Diet Wiz *2019-04-19, version 1.64.1* I am a woman that normally works out and eats a balanced mean but recently (now over age of 40) that’s just enough anymore. I researched apps and didn’t want to spend money on anything like joining a weight loss program. It just needed help with which way I should go to get to a comfortable weight for me. Dietwiz it’s a great app when trying to start a new diet. I am trying the keto diet for 1st time. The cool thing is the app allows you to pick the food you like and they email a grocery list and meal plan as part of the free ( there is other options to buy if you deem it is financially affordable for you) portion of the app. No complaints here- I will repost and let others know what if things go awry but for first time user - I recommend this app **Developer response:** Hi GOGTRGRL and thanks for your awesome review! Wishing you lots of luck on your weight-loss journey :) The DietWiz Team. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
