Disappointed ☹️

I feel like I got scammed. First off, they have you answer all these questions about your eating habits lifestyle and etc. They ask about general allergies but I unfortunately have uncommon allergies, I didn’t see an option for food preferences either. Then after answering all the questions I decided this actually might be worth trying out. However like most apps to get the free trial you have to subscribe with the promise that you can “cancel at any time”, so I selected the 12 months because it was the cheapest monthly price. When doing this I was under the impression that: A) I would get the 7 day free trial to see if I liked it then be able to cancel before being charged and B) that the charge would be the monthly payments not on lump sum! Now I cancel subscription and it still charged me and shows I have a year even though I probably won’t use it. Also the meal choices are limited and I didn’t get any suggestions for snacks which is what I struggle with. Additionally, the food looks good in the pictures but the recipes don’t seem to match the ingredients pictured sometimes and the instructions are very basic. Overall I’m extremely disappointed, I don’t think it’s worth the price and I would warn anyone to be very aware when signing up the “free” trial.

Theoretically a great app

In practice, you log your food allergies or diet and it almost immediately forgets.
You go to look up another recipe, you get an error message.
Contacted tech support still no response.
Will this be awesome once they fix all the problems with it? Yes. Everything looks good.

Inaccurate Calorie Counts and Annoying Pop-ups

The calorie data in this app is often incorrect (e.g., 1oz of baguette is listed as 800 kcal instead of 80). Also, the constant pop-ups pushing for a paid upgrade are very intrusive. Accuracy needs improvement and marketing tactics should be less aggressive for a better user experience. I would happily purchase the membership if these were fixed.

Doesn’t consider food allergies

I just signed up but you can’t put in food allergies or foods you hate. You can’t alter recipes. For example I can’t eat salmon or shellfish but would like to substitute mahi mahi or talapia. I hate bananas and kale Would be nice if you could exchange or take something out of a recipe so you could get accurate calorie count. Not sure if this is going to work for me. Disappointed

We entirely understand your concerns and we apologize for any inconvenience caused. We are committed to making our service user-friendly and personalized to suit individual needs, and it's clear we fell short in your case. You've made some excellent points about adjusting recipes and considering food allergies or preferences, we will most certainly take this into consideration for our future updates. Thank you for your feedback, it helps us to evolve and provide a better service.

Doesn’t know what Vegan is

I downloaded and paid for this app because the add said you are able to take a picture of your food on its plate and it would calculate what the calories were with AI and some other software. It only takes pictures of barcodes which every other nutrition app offers. I was excited for the latter as I have been waiting for an app that does that!

Also, I follow a plant based diet and my first meal plan under the vegan meal plans was spegetti and egg…tomorrow, avacado toast and egg. Eggs aren’t vegan.

I would like a refund.

Response from developer

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you've experienced. Our AI food scanner is indeed a new feature and is supposed to work as advertised - beyond just scanning barcodes. We're currently enhancing its visibility within the app to ensure better accessibility and this should be done within a week. As for the vegan meal plan, the inclusion of eggs is clearly a mistake. We do our best to ensure all our meal plans align correctly with dietary preferences and we're sorry for this oversight. We appreciate your feedback and will use it as an opportunity to improve. Regarding the refund, please follow the guidelines set by the App Store or Google Play, as they handle all the billing and refund processes. Once again, we're sorry for the disappointment and thank you for bringing this to our attention.

What's a Unit

I just started with this App. It seems like it has the right idea. I like the fact that it offers meal plans with grocery list. Takes the thinking out of it which I like. However, I have two issues or points of clarification:

1. It gave me a total caloric intake per day of 2300, but then the meal plans totaled about 1000 calories less. Which I get to jump start weight loss, but does it adjust eventually for maintenance once weight is lost?

2. WHAT is a unit-😂? An egg omelet recipe listed 6 units for eggs. I assumed unit was per egg, so 6 units= 6 eggs, but when I looked at the calories for the meal that didn't makes sense. So what is a UNIT? Maybe there is some explanation somewhere that I am just missing.

Anyway, I'll still give a go and re-rate later. But answers to these questions will be helpful.

We're thrilled to hear that you're finding value in our app, particularly in the meal plans and grocery lists! Now, to address your questions: 1. The calorie count in your meal plan is indeed less than your total daily intake to assist with weight loss. Once you achieve your weight loss goal, the app should automatically adjust your meal plan calories to maintain your weight. If it doesn't, please let us know. 2. As for the "unit" measurement, we apologize for the confusion. One unit does typically represent one item, like an egg, but it can vary depending on the food. We admit this can be vague and we'll work on improving this aspect for clarity. Thank you so much for giving us a chance and for your patience as we strive to improve. We look forward to your re-rating and the chance to better assist you in achieving your health goals!

Food Diary is a Nightmare

Logging food into this app is very difficult. For example, I got a burrito from Chipotle today, and instead of being able to input the entire burrito on there, I had to go ingredient by ingredient. Additionally, you can’t punch in the amount of something you had. You have to search the item and scroll through to find the appropriate amount in grams. Sometimes you can’t find the right portion size. Horrid app. Would not recommend.

We're really sorry to hear about your dissatisfaction with our app. We strive to create an uncomplicated and efficient user experience, and it seems we missed the mark in your case. We realize how tedious it can be to input every ingredient individually, and we appreciate your suggestion for a more seamless experience. Improving our food logging system, with direct input of total meals and flexible portion sizes, is something we will consider for our future updates. We recognize the importance of your feedback in helping us improve. Despite your current experience, we hope you'll give us another chance to impress you in the future.

Search and Scan

I love this app but it started to not let me scan barcodes and when I search up anything it doesn’t give me what I want.
Example: I searched up “egg” and it only gave me things like eggs the candy for 500 cals and other things that aren’t just normal eggs. It worked before but now it won’t. Is it just my phone or something? Theres no update to fix it yet either. 🥲

We're really sorry to hear about the issues you're experiencing with our app, and we truly appreciate your patience. This certainly isn't the user experience we aim to provide. It sounds like a bug might be affecting the search functionality and barcode scanner. We're going to investigate and work on a fix immediately. Meanwhile, please try to reinstall the app or restart your phone which may help to resolve the issue temporarily. Thank you for bringing this to our attention – your feedback helps us keep improving!

Free? Not so much

I was trying it for a week free and I canceled before the week was up and they still charged me so I guess now I will be using this app for you even though I don’t know that it will work for me because my diet is so specified with food allergies. I’m very disappointed in this company.

We value your feedback, and we assure you that we continuously strive to improve our services. Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention.

Overall worthless

There is no way to put in allergies or dietary restrictions. I’m allergic to tree nuts and I don’t eat certain foods due to religious restrictions. There is absolutely no way to not have these foods constantly be included in the recipes. You are able to swap foods…but only if you pay for a subscription, you can’t even look at the recipe to make the food unless you pay.

However, we appreciate your feedback and will continue to strive for improvement. Thank you for your understanding.

Immediate delete when

My first red flag was the spelling and grammar. It’s horrendous. Secondly, when you tell someone they can lose 31 pounds in 28 days that’s not healthy and a major red flag. That’s when I immediately deleted the app. Thank goodness I didn’t pay for it.

Don’t buy.

Looks great. Nice user interface but immediately disappointed when it could neither scan or accept manual input of common products when logging meals. Protein shakes (didn’t recognize Muscle Milk Pro - a popular brand!), avocado (can’t log half units) and does NOT intuitively pick up simple words that should be common. Frustrating for anyone who is serious about logging and tracking meals, macros, and calories. I’m back to using MyFitnessPal app. It works better!

TOOK MY MONEY FOR UNWANTED SUBSCRIPTION

I was signed up for a subscription through this app that I myself did not sign up for. I was charged $86 and Apple is not able to refund me because they state that the app developer doesn’t allow it. I don’t use this app nor need it and have paid for a yearly subscription I have not been able to get refunded for. I haven’t been able to contact anyone from the app for a refund at all and haven’t received a reply from them.

A few changes

This app seems really great! But I just wish you could add your own recipes or snacks because even though, yes it is a plan that is meant to be followed.. sometimes that’s not what happens.

Thank you once again for your support and trust!

Doesn’t make sense

I downloaded the app and paid for a year. How is this thing telling me I’m going to lose 165 pounds in 28 days? That is impossible. It would be extremely unhealthy for your body. Secondly, the app is very difficult. I tried to change breakfast, and it was giving me steak dinner, shrimp, dinner, and various things that don’t belong to the breakfast category. Even though I have chosen for quicker meals, it keeps showing me things that take several hours to cook. This app is completely terrible. It is not user-friendly. I am requesting that my money be refunded.

Where did the fasting timer go and water amount? The update version doesn’t have this. What happened? If it’s not fixed I’ll have to cancel my subscription.

When I got it, I was happy with the information it was providing. It was informational. The body goes through different processes. Now, it just like the other apps. Very disappointed.

Too much attention with NO reward

App requires extraordinary attention to be effective. In addition, and most distressing, several attempts to cancel have been unsuccessful. This entire travesty feels like a fraud out of Singapore. Attempts to resolve following app described cancellation process have proven to be impossible to fulfill. Sent complaint to Apple - they shouldn’t expose their clients to possible fraud.
