Worst app for tracking
This app is the worst! It does not find popular brand names or more than half the foods I eat! It’s very difficult to use and frustrating.. I do not recommend this app to anyone needing something quick and easy
Ineffective
Kicks you out often, interface is slow and buggy, limited options, doesn’t connect to smart watches. It takes far too long to log workouts and it doesn’t always save. At this point a live spreadsheet would be more effective than this “app”
Needs an update
Not user friendly at all and definitely needs an update to the app as a whole.
App is dysfunctional
This app is to communicate with your trainer at Crunch fitness, and it’s proprietary nature is literally the only reason to use it. Every other fitness and/or nutrition app I have used is vastly superior.
The interface is awful. Do you log your workouts under workouts or under logs? Neither one works very well. You have to manually type any workouts into the notes, there is no spreadsheet behind the scenes tracking progress. And after spending 15 minutes adding everything to the note and saving it just disappears. Start over please! Logging food seems a little better, but Nooms app is far more robust.
Also, every other app I have tried talks to the Health app on Apple. This one does not seem to, though maybe I have figured it out. It only seems to talk to your Fitbit or similar device.
This app needs an overhaul. The designers should look at apps by Noom and JEFIT for some ideas about how an app should work.

Extremely inconvenient
This app keeps logging me out, and I have to keep logging in. The calorie counter sucks. It has very minimal options and is also very confusing. Overall, this app was created very poorly
Best intentions but failed
The food tracking is terrible. Most people do not have time to put the nutrient facts in for every food item they used.
Buggy as hell
Won’t save custom logged workouts. App is a joke.
Sucks
It just sucks don’t use this app
Too too too too much
Not very user friendly. I spend more time trying to log info than I do meal prep or working out. There has to be a better way to track fitness goals that doesn’t feel like homework.
Not A Good App At All!
I downloaded this app to work with my Crunch Fitness trainer. I’ve been using Lose It to track macros and exercises. This app is tedious, not user friendly and unhelpful. I’ll stick to what I’m using and uninstall dotFIT to not waste anymore of my time.
Horrible app
I am a personal trainer and we are required to use this app. Not only is it awful and completely un user friendly for clients but it takes upwards of 3+ hours to create a program I could make in 10 minutes. On top of that there is extremely limited exercises and the form is incorrect on far to many. The calorie tracker side is even more useless than the exercise side. It is so bad I have to give my clients alternatives. Honestly the state of this app is extremely disappointing and is in desperate need of several updates just to fix the bugs alone.

What I think
Worst app I’ve ever used.
Log
It would be great if when you put in the weight for each exercise in the log that it would remember it for the next time you do that exercise so that you know what you did last time and know when you want to increase
Not the best out there
I was told by my Personal Trainer to start using this app so they can keep track of my progress.
Food entry and food database is horrible. It feels like I have to manually enter every single food in unless it’s a generic entry. Apps like MyFitness is miles ahead of this app.
Another major issue is the calories goal “cannot be changed” and is stuck at 2,886 for me when my PT has assigned it to be 1,776. Im told to just keep track myself to not go over.
Exercise entry’s also a pain especially when you need to track a custom workout that is not laid out in the app.
For now, I only use the app to log in my meals and that’s it. It’s inconvenient and painful to do, but it’s the only way my trainer can see my nutrition with the gym.
You are better off with MyFitness App for nutrition (free) and something like HEVY for workouts. All with free options that are more than enough with what you need without paying.
I don’t recommend this app…more work just to use. I’d rather use a pen and notebook.

Needs updates!
After reading old reviews, nothing has changed with this app. It needs to be updated asap
Adding Apps and Devices
Under the program tab when I select add apps and devices all I get is the spinning icon and then back to the Home Screen. Unable to add the Health app for tracking purposes.
Love the app
I like the app it helps me keep track of how many calories I eat a day but it will not quit crashing every time I try to open it. It started doing this this morning
Would not use if I didn’t have to.
App is not simple to use. 2-3 clicks to do or find things. Food database is limited and difficult to read. When searching potatoes, and finally fine one. It ends up being “chips” but you can’t see that when searching. Sometimes buttons don’t work. When I reached out to support they said “my account worked” I pointed out it was an app issue not an account issue. My gym trainer has to use this app, otherwise in no world would I use this with so many other better options out there.

Literal Garbage
You won’t find most foods on here if you want to log your meals. Conveniently though, you can find every DotFIT product and you can purchase their products, so the app feels like a lazy money grab. Layout is horrible too.
UPDATE!!!
My trainer has me using this app, which hasn’t been updated in over 2 years! It keeps crashing when I go to view the menus. I logged in for the first time the other day and I already burned 1,000 calories? Did DotFIT just forget about their app? Do they even care?
