And I find it so cuteeee You should really download it And things you need is an email to track your habits of eating ### 2/5 — No free trial and could be better *2026-09-03, version 2.29.0* I had to pay upfront without being offered a free trial. I saw the reviews and figured I’d try it out. It’s not very accurate most of the time and it’s not very easy to use. I have the same items each day so I wish there was a way to save multiple items to easily add each day. It’s hard to edit after logging and it’s not easy to navigate. Fasting isn’t automatic and I’m very busy so I don’t always remember to add fasting times. I’m gonna give it a try for another week or so. ### 3/5 — Pretty good *2026-09-03, version 2.29.0* The app is kind of bare if you don’t pay for it, but it does its job ### 2/5 — Used to be Good *2026-09-02, version 2.29.0* I have loved using this app from day one! I signed up early, before AI was added. It’s so easy to use and there’s a lot of helpful tools. But I can’t give it a full 5 stars anymore because they limit the amount of photos/meals you can snap. It used to be unlimited which is what I loved! I was able to take a picture of my snacks as well as meals. Now you’re only allowed 2 snaps/photos unless you go premium. Giant disappointment. ### 5/5 — Nice app *2026-09-02, version 2.29.0* Helps make meal tracking easier! ### 5/5 — Bitpal *2026-09-02, version 2.29.0* Really good definitely worth it ### 5/5 — I think I love it :) *2026-09-02, version 2.29.0* I luv this app xoxo ### 4/5 — Love it! *2026-09-02, version 2.29.0* It’s so cute honestly I hope everyone gets a chance to enjoy this experience as I’m doing right now! ### 5/5 — loooove *2026-09-01, version 2.29.0* love how you don’t pay ### 5/5 — Easy *2026-09-01, version 2.29.0* AI analysis saves time and frustration ### 5/5 — Richtig toller Support *2026-09-01* Ich bin begeistert von dem tollen Service und Support ! Ich hatte ein Problem mit der Zahlung des Abos aber habe nach einer Mail sofort eine tolle Rückmeldung und Hilfe bekommen, unglaublich nette Mitarbeiter und super guter Kundenumgang!! Ganz liebe Grüße an Jake 💛 ### 5/5 — Ameiiiii😍 *2026-09-01* Além de muito fofo é eficiente!! Mostra certinho a contagem de calorias ❤️ ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Cancelem minha conta *2026-09-03* Ja cancelei e nao param de cobrar no meu cartao!! ### 1/5 — Predatory *2026-09-03, version 2.29.0* This says it is safe for children as young as 9 and built for and by neurodivergent people. It also says losing 2kg (5lbs) a week is healthy and sustainable, and encourages intermittent fasting (children should never and most nd folks I know forget to eat rather than eat too much). It continues to push an emotional eating narrative after you tell it repeatedly that you don’t do that. There’s a button for hormonal imbalance, but it changes nothing in the app’s output. The gamification of calorie tracking may work for some, but please approach this with skepticism and do your own research before taking its advice. DO NOT give this to children, it is not safe and may lead to eating disorders. Good luck! ### 1/5 — This is SCAMMY. You will be charged, bimonthly and recharged, even after cancellation. *2026-09-03, version 2.29.0* Scam ### 1/5 — Horribly inaccurate *2026-09-03, version 2.29.0* It’s a cute premise and I was excited but it is far too inaccurate to be worth paying for! Even on packaged items where it should know the exact portion and information is hundreds of calories off. Definitely would not pay for it. Should’ve free if it’s so off and I think the AI needs far more developing. I reviewed this a while ago and have just found out they have been charging me 75$ every 3 months for a reoccurring subscription which I thought I cancelled, as it does not show up in my subscriptions on my Apple account. This is built to take your money and fly under the radar. I am extremely upset by this discovery and would really like a refund for the last 3 months as I never even had this app downloaded in this time. ### 1/5 — Does not work most of the time *2026-09-02* I had this app for several months, it hardly worked properly. It would randomly kicking me out and erase all my data. I had to keep deleting and redownloading it. Every time I emailed to try to get help, it took weeks to get a response and they would just tell me to reinstall the app. Would not get again. ### 1/5 — The new update its awful *2026-09-02, version 2.29.0* Now you have to pay to be able to scan your meals, you only get two scans per day and the rest has to be typed if you dont want to pay monthly. Just horrible I just to love this app used it for many months ### 1/5 — Cobrança indevida *2026-09-01* Cobrou uma assinatura que não realizei ### 1/5 — Once you subscribe there is no way to cancel *2026-09-01* I subscribed to try the app, and paid an initial amount of around 11 euros, but then. Hanged my mind before the month was over, and tried to cancel it. There was no way to cancel. I even sent them an email without any response or action. Then few days later, they indeed deducted the new month subscription! I haven’t used the app for weeks and being charged for it. ### 1/5 — Do not sign up for this *2026-09-01* This absolutely ridiculous company will not stop charging my freaking credit card every month. They are charging me twice. I cannot stop these charges to no avail. This is absolutely ridiculous and Apple should not even offer this app because of all these problems. ### 1/5 — TOTAL SCAM - DONT GET THE MEMBERSHIP *2026-08-30* Was helpful but when i cancelled my membership, they were continued to charge me. AND NO HELP IN THE APP ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Helpful *2026-09-03, version 2.29.0* I'm enjoying the app, it's been helpful to track food and stay mindful of what I'm eating and how active I've been for the day ### 5/5 — Equilibrando mis comidas *2026-09-03, version 2.29.0* Estoy recién usándola , pero me esta gustando como es ### 5/5 — Seems great! *2026-09-03, version 2.29.0* Just started using, but already seems great ### 5/5 — Super Easy and CUTE! *2026-09-03, version 2.29.0* App is very user friendly! ### 5/5 — Soy nuevo *2026-09-03, version 2.29.0* Me facilita el proceso de realizar mis dietas ### 5/5 — My App Bestie!!! *2026-09-03, version 2.29.0* I’ve been on this app for 100 days now. It’s very helpful and helps me stay on track. I’m down 34lbs because of it. THANK YOU BITEPAL!!! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-09-03* I love how there is a free version in this app and it’s such a game changer would recommend 😊 ### 5/5 — Recomendado *2026-09-02, version 2.29.0* Me encanta esta app me ayuda a llevar un control de mis comidas y el agua que consumo ### 5/5 — Please bring back Unlimted scans for ALL users!! *2026-09-02, version 2.29.0* 9/2 UPDATE: they brought it back!! Thank you!!!! Just want to also give a shoutout to your customer service. They are so quick in response time and actually listen. Really love this app! I would give this 5 stars but…. There seems to have been a secret update after the most recent update they had a few weeks back. I initially switched to this app because of the ai scanning and the ability to track calories and water and manage weight. This seemed like the perfect all in one app! Yes they have their premium subscription that offered more features…but I didn’t need them and this was perfect for me as is. NOW you can only scan 2 pictures per day. Which sucks cause I will eat outside most days and prefer to scan my food instead of writing out every thing I see. My only request is they bring the unlimited scans back to ALL users. I may have to switch to the squirrel app or something else if anything…. ### 5/5 — I love this *2026-09-02, version 2.29.0* The app is cute and gentle, encourages weight loss healthily and is still honest about everything. The raccoon I have is named bandit and I love him, thank you for this app! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
