Bless This App
I’ve been using this app for probably 8 years, and I swear I will die if for some reason I can’t use it and have to switch to another. Other more “popular” apps are great for people who eat junk and thus want to scan labels of ultra processed foods and need detailed restaurant menu nutritional info at their fingertips. But those other apps really don’t do what I want. This app is a lot better for people who care about macros and other measurements like fiber and vitamins/minerals. It works a little better for cooking from scratch or eating whole foods and definitely is superior for tracking macro and micronutrients. And it’s streamlined-it’s not busy or obnoxious. They also have the best customer service and were very responsive the single time I have had a problem in the 8 years I’ve been using them.

App crashes upon opening
Unfortunately, cannot uses. Continually crashing
Poor App and customer support
Liked the layout of the app, and wanted the macro supportive features so I paid the for the full year membership. Very annoyed to find out you cannot add any of your own recipes (the app crashes when trying this feature) and there is little to no choices for UK food. I have had no response from customer support for a refund or any help at all. Disappointing.

Love it
Very good for bulking up
Decent counter
Some aspects missing:
**More variety (few restaurants/foods are missing)
Ability to log fluid intake or workouts
Otherwise, In the couple of weeks or so using this app I am pleased. By far the most annoyance comes from the fewer choices as compared to other apps, such as MyFitnessPal.

Did the platform change ? I cant add macros
Since when did it start to charge to set my macro goals ?
Hiding macros behind a pay wall
How ridiculous. At least give us tiers to using features. Something as essential as adding a food should not cost so much.
Meets everything I need (Free Version)
I’ve never had to pay for anything in the app na duet everything I need is there. It also automatically adds my workout when logged from my Apple Watch. Data is also connected to Health app so you can have more analytics
Great App
This app is very easy to use and very helpful in helping me better understand my nutrition and daily intake. Being able to scan labels and have tons of popular foods and brands included makes tracking simple. Customer support is very quick to respond as well (even on a Sunday!). Using this app has made me much more mindful and helped me lose weight much quicker than I thought possible!

Convenience and relief
Trying to cut weight for jiujitsu competition always left me in anxiety. Tracking my calories on the app instead of my head gives me a sense of relief. I can actually log my input and output and see where I stand throughout the day. The meals are also a plus! I’m always on the move. They’re actually delicious.

Trash app
Bought the year subscription and i want my money back!!! Its not saving anything that i put in at all. So upset. DO NOT waste your money
The meal times don’t pop up
The meal times don’t pop up like breakfast, lunch, or dinner none of it is there
Not working
I have had the FitGenie app for 6 months. Right now it is not working at all. It just flashes in and then goes off. Please fix! Hopefully the bug is fixed. Otherwise I like the app. I count macros and utilize grams to measure which makes my macro and calorie counting more accurate.
Add a liquid option
There should be an option where you can add juice, or smoothies to it. Like if i make a smoothie, i put the items that i put into the smoothie into the app and it calculates it all. Other than that its perfect
Great app
Love this app very easy to use and if there is not a food or brand you can’t find, you can easily create your own. I just wish you can delete old ones or just edit and fix them.
Good but far from perfect
One of the main reasons I purchased was to get a deeper insight into my micronutrient intake. A lot of missing micronutrient info for a lot of foods. Also a timestap as to when you tracked certain meals would be helpful as well.
Awesome
Awesome app but just started.
Lots of weird bugs and limitations
Works ok but there are lots of annoyances. Calories and macros are often inaccurate when scanning a label.
Weird bugs, like when I open the app to weigh in first thing in the morning, it’s sometimes stuck on yesterday until I change it to today. Accidentally changed my weight from the previous day a few times before realizing what was going on. Also the points on the weight graph don’t line up with the days on the bottom axis. If I look in my nutrition summary, for some reason it says I ate 45 grams of trans fat... must be some weird math going on behind the scenes since none of my foods contain trans fat.
It’s very strange that you can’t make saturated fat one of your focus goals. You can’t see your weekly caloric intake, either the total or an average. There is apparently no good way to review your diet from past time periods; you would have to go back one day at a time as far as I can tell. Good luck if you want to revisit what you were eating on a cut last year or something like that. When copying meals from a previous day, you can’t actually see what they are and you’re limited to copying the same meal (I.e. you can’t copy yesterday’s breakfast to today’s lunch). If you save a meal it basically becomes a new food, instead of adding the individual ingredients to your day. That makes it hard if you want to adjust the amounts on a given day.
I thought the meal planning / recipes would be cool but it’s just a gimmick that I gave up on after a day. It just spits out random meals that fit your macros for the day but don’t make a lot of sense. One meal will be like 200 calories and another 900 instead of evenly distributing the calories and protein. You can’t even get an overview of the total macro content for all the meals like you can when entering manually.
The shopping thing doesn’t even work for me since I live in Atlanta... although I wouldn’t use it if I did.
Overall I’m only still using this app because I paid for a one year subscription and it’s ad free and it was cheaper than the ad free version of MyFitnessPal. The functionality is worse though in terms of tracking. As far as letting the app adjust my macros for me, I don’t even use that feature because it’s so simple that I’d rather just be in charge of that myself, especially since the app doesn’t let you pick a target weight/date which is another thing that leaves me scratching my head.
I’ll probably just go back to MyFitnessPal at the end of the year and put up with the annoying ads unless there are a lot of major changes to FitGenie.

Needs Aussie database!
Love the UI and features of the app but it really lacks an Australian database so forced to still use MFP
Great tracker and customer service.
Fell off the wagon for a while but back to tracking again. I’ve used a few of the “popular” tracking apps over the years but have found Fit genie to be better. I also had an issue and emailed them for help I got a reply back in a timely manner and also went back and forth a few times with more questions.
Nowadays to get emails back from customer service in short order is great. Keep it up !!
