### 5/5 — It’s great!

*2026-08-23, version 7.28*

It works good

### 1/5 — App is Garbage

*2026-08-09, version 7.28*

The app sucks, let us use the website again instead of trying to make us use the app.  Will find another app or website that’s actually useful for looking up nutrition information

### 2/5 — Calories for national US brands unavailable

*2026-07-24, version 7.28*

Looking for Wendy’s chili to add it to my log. The only thing it shows me foe wendys is water. Not that I eat there more than once a year, it’s still not helpful.

### 1/5 — Lifetime membership is a lie

*2026-07-17, version 7.28*

I paid for a lifetime membership years ago. Hadn’t used the app recently, redownloaded and somehow none of my emails are in their system. Now everything is behind a paywall. Lies.

### 5/5 — Excellent educational content

*2026-05-30, version 7.28*

I can’t recommend this app enough honestly it’s so much better than other nutrition apps I’ve tried in the past.

### 1/5 — Used to be a amazing…

*2026-05-09, version 7.28*

This app used to be incredible, and now it’s utter trash. It’s very buggy and looks barebones. You can tell that after more than a decade, the devs clearly don’t care anymore. I also paid for it long before there was even a subscription. It freezes when I try to restore… Convenient.

### 5/5 — Best Calorie Tracker

*2026-05-06, version 7.28*

I have been using this calorie tracker since I was taught about it in middle school health class and it’s great. The UI is very user friendly. I love that you can create your own meals to quickly add frequent foods. The annual cost for the pro features is affordable and worth the money in my opinion.

### 1/5 — Underwhelming features with lots of ads

*2026-05-02, version 7.28*

Second time trying this app as a basic calorie counter and it just is not up to snuff. Most of what you try to scan just flat out doesn’t, or times it’ll tell me the scanning feature is locked behind a paywall. The search function is pretty bare bones as well, I can’t find most of the products you can commonly find in most grocery stores. I don’t appreciate being bombarded with popup ads at every tap, any time I need to change screens I know I’m going to have to close a popup ad asking me to upgrade, or trying to close an actual advertisement and am greeted with yet another popup to upgrade to a paid plan to remove ads. 

Overall, this app is just annoying to use. There’s plenty of better free options out there.

### 1/5 — Cancelled trial yet still charged for membership / apple refused to credit -

*2026-04-29, version 7.28*

I cancelled this trial - I was charged $40 -
I deleted app instantly so haven’t been using and haven’t used it since -of course apple (as always) refused to credit the amount- 
I am now going through my bank .. not amused ..

### 1/5 — false advertising

*2026-03-22, version 7.28*

why would u include nutrition information as a promotional tool under the basic plan, yet it’s locked behind a subscription paywall?
