Can’t see all the recipes

Every time I try to scroll to the bottom of all the recipes, it scoots me all the way to the top so I never get to see all the recipes

A college lifesaver

For anyone one the border of buying this- do it!! I’m a college student who just started cooking and this app is a godsend with helping me make meals that are easy, meet my goals, and taste delicious! Me and my Roomates are victim to the sweet tooth to fast food pipeline and I can’t count how many times I’ve made a healthy sweet treat from this app to save myself money and calories!! I’m still trying more but I’ve loved what I’ve made- truly a great app!

Great App!

I’ve been really enjoying this app! It’s easy to use, practical, and has a clean and intuitive interface. Everything feels simple and well organized, which makes the experience much better. Definitely an app I would recommend!

Hit or Miss

I enjoy this app but I am very frustrated with it at the same time. I really enjoy these recipes but I am constantly logged out and when I try to sign back in it says my account doesn’t exist. It’s a bug and eventually I can log back in hours later or the next day. However, it seems to love doing it when I am getting ready to cook so I’ve had to resort to screenshotting the recipe so I’m not left high and dry come meal time. I can’t always plan ahead and screenshot so then I’m scrambling to try and go from memory of other recipes. I like to use the handy ingredient filter when I forget to plan ahead to filter out what I can make with what I’ve got on hand, but I have to be logged in to do that! I know this app can be even better once these log in issued are fixed and I wish the search feature was a little more fine tuned. You have to type in almost an exact match for some things to pull up. Hopefully in the future that feature will have a little more grace. I love the macro breakdown, imperial/metric toggle, meal planning section and you can adjust the serving sizes. I’m just over being frustrated to the max on being let down when I’m needing it the most! One of the main reasons why I subscribe is so I can hop on for good recipes with ease. It is not easy when you can’t access the content with this recurring issue.

Response from developer

Hey there! We're always looking for feedback on the app to improve (that's why we have the feedback option in the app and respond to everyone). Could you send this to orders@flexibledietinglifestyle.com with screenshots of your issues? This will help us fix it for you and others :)

WORST APP EVER!!!

This app was OK in the beginning but the arsehat running it, completely ruined it. After all the ‘upgrades’ it got so glitched out, it’s unusable & is always a hassle. I can’t even log in atm & it doesn’t recognize my email anymore….i paid nearly 300$ cdn for lifetime access. So, tonight i bought all the groceries for a special dinner i WAS having & now i cannot access this garbage app to get said recipe…that i paid a lot of money for. LIKE WHAT THE FUNK?! Total failure, save your money.

Sorry to hear! I will say, there are thousands of people who use the app every day with no issues. So I'm not sure what might be happening for you. Feel free to email us here and we'll get it sorted: orders@flexibledietinglifestyle.com

Great app and great recipes!

A couple months ago, I decided to try another weight loss phase with meals in the 500 to 600 cal range that are high in protein with fats around 30%. A lot of my meals were composed of rotating meal prep items like lean proteins, baked squash and other veggies. It was working good for me, but I started to get bored with the meals and all the whole/unprocessed foods. I found Zach’s YouTube channel and then his mobile app. They have been a game changer for me! I’m losing weight while eating foods I enjoy. So I call it a meal lifestyle change instead of a diet.

So happy to have these recipes with easy access

Love these recipes. The app is obviously still working through the bugs. Some of the recipes have misspellings and the ingredients are mixed up, but, it’s worth it to have the recipes so much more easily available than just YouTube. I wish there was easier way to track my macros within the app. As I have to modify the recipes somewhat to meet my macros. But, all in all, I’m very happy with it.

100 Stars

Five stars are not enough. If you are on the fence, come on over. It’s amazing on this side. I cannot believe how everything you need is right here. RIGHT HERE!

My pleasure with this app has been depleted

I love the recipes— truly no complaints about the work that has gone into making these content. This app is very clearly some thrown together by AI, vibe coded experience that has some major usability issues. Enough to not warrant $19 a month. I am not sure who is owning the design and development of this app but please, please, please look into improving the experience with this application starting with maintaining being logged in.

Hey! We have a feedback spot in the app where you can submit anything you want improved, added, and/or fixed. If you're still in there, feel free to do that. Otherwise you can email me here: zach@flexibledietinglifestyle.com and I'll hand it over to my team. The ability to stay logged into the app is the only bug we still haven't cracked. We have some things in place now that will diagnose the issue and we'll have it fixed in the next week or two! Either way, thanks for trying out the app. At the very least, I'm glad you like the recipes 🫶

Confused After App Update

I purchased the app and was sent an email with download instructions. There’s a Google Mail login option . The app has updated and says that it can find my account. Keep in mind I get promo emails from FDL DAILY! Now the app is giving me 2 options of paying a subscription (after I made an account) . I’m not not hurt , I just thought that was what the initial purchase was for. Now I have zero access . Oh well

The App is A Black Screen

This app literally doesn’t open up to anything. Just a black screen.

Game changer

The FDL app has honestly been a game-changer. It makes sorting through the massive range of amazing recipes so quick and easy, and the whole app is super user-friendly.

The video guidance, tips, and tricks built into the recipes are unreal, and being able to sort favourites into your own categories, leave personal notes, and interact with the community makes it even better. It’s clear a lot of thought has gone into making the app practical and easy to use day-to-day.

Whether you’re tracking macros, chasing healthier options, or just love good food, this app makes life easy.

Honestly… you’d be silly not to get it. 🔥

The new update is horrible

The old version of the app was great. The new version added no useful new features, wiped out all of the things I had favorited and all of the photo and video links are broken. They should have left it alone

Scam?

I got this, paid online since it’s $19.00 a month and required. 2 days later I’m kicked out and need to log in again. It redirected to a web page from the app asking for your email but when I put it in it says that email doesn’t have an account. I didn’t even get to the password part, and they had sent me authorization links to that email for the app. I checked my bank and they charged me twice. Can you guess who you contact to help if you can’t log in, because I don’t either. I can’t even get in to have them stop charging me twice a month.

Excellent update

Zach has pushed out a major update here. The app has a beautiful new UI and allows for customization and search for recipes (by equipment or macros, etc.). It’s great to have the full library of recipes at your fingertips. My favorite feature is the macros auto-scale when I adjust the serving size. I’m really glad I purchased lifetime access some time ago!

Exceptional good for your body recipes😀

It’s so awesome too be able to open an app and make the most delicious and so good for you recipes, Zach you are a genius for sure!! Thank you 🙏

Hard to Cancel

They make it so hard to cancel. Sent email to support with no reply and still getting charged

Needs better search function

Very good, beautiful app with great recipes. The search function needs to be better - you can only search exact words in the title, which is sometimes not useful, especially with such a large variety of recipes.

Love the FDL app

I discovered Zach on Instagram. I tried some of his recipes, and they are on point. Healthy food that actually tastes great. The protein ice cream is the bomb!

So excited for this!!!

I just love that Zach and his team put this together!! I love his receipts and love even more having them at my fingertips!!
