It’s everything I was looking for and so much more. It’s really easy use (after a day or two of exploring how everything works) and is helping me greatly with tracking all of my calories and sticking to my goals. The huge range of recipes are incredible too. I have made quite a few recipes in the last two weeks and so far the Tex-Mex Beef and Rice is my favourite. I cannot wait to try out more. I had one small issue last week and the customer service emailed me back within hours and helped me solve the issue quickly. The app is truly worth every penny, I love it. **Developer response:** Hi! Thanks for your incredible review! ### 1/5 — Nope *2026-07-25* You can’t even try it out without giving up your personal info for the “free trial” that will automatically renew for $19.99 a month. That’s a huge NOPE. I don’t care how good it is, I won’t be giving up my info before I have even seen the Home Screen. **Developer response:** Hi there, Thanks for your input. Firstly, you get a 14-day free trial which enables you to experience premium features in the app to see fit it's a good fit for you. Secondly, in order for us to generate your personalised targets for your goal we need to gather information during onboarding. Thanks :) ### 3/5 — Could be amazing *2026-07-23* I love Graham and his recipes. Unfortunately I’m just using the app for recipes. It doesn’t automatically pull in my sleep or weight from the health app. If I miss a day I can add weight but sleep not logged. Seems pointless as you can’t see sleep history anyway. I am still using MyFitnessPal for food logging as I just can’t do it in this app it’s too difficult. Eg, I might drink 238g soya milk I want to log that in 1g increments not nearest 250g. I’m also dairy free. I use the recipes and adapt them but I’m clueless how to log it without doing everything individually. Pros you can choose own weight and macros + targets are sensible. I’m still paying for now in case improvements for logging are made. It’s not bad but could be brilliant **Developer response:** Hi there! Thanks for your feedback. In the next couple of weeks we'll have sleep, activity and weight metrics directly available to sync from smart devices as well as steps. You can see your sleep history by tapping the analytics. In food logging, did you can enter a custom amount of grams for any food you wish? So instead of having to scroll through 1g increments on others apps you can simply type '238' in the box to log your soya milk to log it quickly and accurately on The Fitness Chef. ### 5/5 — Worth It *2026-07-23* I appreciate this guy’s balanced approach to food. He has been a huge part of healing my own woundedness with a necessary human activity. So grateful the internet brings him across the ocean to me. **Developer response:** That's very kind :) ### 2/5 — Problem with recipe feature *2026-05-22* I just downloaded this app - very excited as I love the videos I’ve watched - so sane and funny. I put into settings that I’m pescatarian. The problem is that then it ONLY shows me recipes with fish. I wanted some breakfast options and clicked “porridge,” and there were no recipes (because thankfully, there are no porridge recipes with fish). I switched it to vegetarian, and then I got MANY nice breakfast options. Is there a way to fix this? ### 5/5 — Macros Not Visible *2026-05-20* Been using the app for two days and I like it so far. Helping me with some accountability and opening the eyes to my macro breakdown. Going to try some recipes soon. **Developer response:** Hi! Thanks for your review! Delighted to help! ### 1/5 — Nope *2026-04-16* You can’t even try it out without giving up your personal info for the “free trial” that will automatically renew for $19.99 a month. That’s a huge NOPE. I don’t care how good it is, I won’t be giving up my info before I have even see the Home Screen. ### 1/5 — Wouldn’t let me log in *2026-03-07* I downloaded this 2 weeks ago and was getting familiar with it. Signed up for the free trial, which would have automatically renewed tomorrow, March 8th. Tried to get use the recipes on it today, got booted out and could not get re-logged in. Nothing worked. Reset my password, still couldn’t get Logged in. Kept getting an error message to “check my credentials” with not guidance on where or what to check. Cancelled my subscription renewal and removed the app. Maybe it doesn’t work well in the US? **Developer response:** We are sorry you're experiencing these issues. Please contact support@fitnesschef.uk ### 1/5 — Can’t even log in *2026-01-18, version 2.2.2* Downloaded the app and chose the 14 day free trial to be followed by a years membership option. Completed my profile set up five times now and I can’t get any further. I can’t cancel my free trial because it’s not coming up in my Apple subscriptions, I can’t access the app to get a customer service contact email address. Every time I access the app I have to redo my profile and it won’t let me go any further than the “restore purchase” page which, when I click on, says I have no purchase despite me having a confirmation email. ### 3/5 — It’s good but the images.. *2026-01-12, version 2.2.2* I enjoy the app and the recipes…but the problem I have is all the images of the food is AI generated and it’s a little off putting… ## Frequently asked questions about Fitness Chef ### What does the Fitness Chef app do?
