Confused
The App Store description mentions that there is a pay-once option or a subscription option. However, when I log into the app, I see no area where I can find out about options to pay. Overall, I’m confused. Maybe it’s a great app and I will change my review if I can figure this thing out.
Manual feature in Macros does not work!
I want to set my own goals for carbs, protein and fat. The Manual feature doesn’t work. So I thought this was because I was trialing the app with a renewal date of May 10. So I decided to cancel the trial and sign up (hopefully resolve the Manual Macros feature) only to find that I can’t!!! The App is insisting I complete the trial so the start can be May 10. What gives? You guys don’t like money? So I will have to wait to find out if my problem is a bug or a holdout till renewal. And while we’re here, the Apple Watch icon shows the dreary word Cal. In itself, this icon is pathetic, and for me, since I’m only interested in my protein level, there should be an option to display that… and hopefully with more style than the dry “Cal”. There is no option far as I can see to use the metric system for body weight (and also where?). Who uses lbs other than the USA… and I don’t live in the USA, along with 96% of humanity.

Excluded by daily calorie limits
I’m on a medically prescribed 3 month 800 calorie per day ketogenic diet. There’s plenty of research published in peer-reviewed journals talking about the safety and metabolic benefits of this approach. Three generous stars for respecting privacy, but since I can’t get by the third screen, the app is useless to me, and I’d happily pay. Why do I even need to enter that? Can’t I just use this to track my intake without the app needing to ‘manage’ my goals? I know what I’m doing. My choices seem to be: spreadsheet, notebook, or letting some company sell my medical problems to the great American data brokerage monster. Frustrating.

Fuel is the motivation we all need!
I want to immediately note— I don’t normally consider paying for additional features on apps, since I’m always fearful that if I switch device brands later on, I will end up losing the benefits of having purchased a certain app. After a couple of days of using Fuel, it was a no-brainer. I have opted into the free trial and intend to continue providing revenue to its creator.
This app is carefully crafted to make the interpretation of what you put in your body as “digestible” as possible. It makes it incredibly easy to see exactly what you’re lacking in your diet… and beyond that, the ability to add foods has some impressive features! The entire thing is a well-polished experience. A huge bonus for respecting user data as well.
One of the major reasons I’ve comfortable with paying for this app is because the creator has a privacy-driven model that leaves control over user data to the only person it belongs… the user! Thank you for this.
I do wonder if the app’s author plans to make this available outside the Apple ecosystem. Better yet, can my personal data I’ve tracked be made available in a .json or .csv so that I can use it elsewhere? I have just started syncing to iCloud, but haven’t checked out what data is actually synchronized.
Also, regarding the food database: I really admire the “universal” food category, and I hope to see the library organically grow with more users contributing. What is the verification process like when creating new foods? I have been trying to record mine as accurately as possible and uploading photos of nutrition labels, and I’m curious about how the verification is done from there.
One feature that I’m missing (maybe it doesn’t exist?) is the ability to go back and see (edit) the foods that I have personally added. I understand that the food library is community driven, and I suppose it would be difficult to allow users to go back and edit “submissions” of food to the global library… it’s a difficult problem. Maybe store a local library of created foods, and users can optionally upload them to the global library?
Hopefully some of my suggestions make sense. My comments certainly don’t detract from the quality of my experience with this app. Cheers to such an excellent piece of software.
