### 2/5 — Just gone bankrupt

*2026-06-25, version 1.156.11*

I was sold a premium subscription just over 2 weeks ago, when the writing was clearly on the wall. The app is good but don’t sign up now, even if they let you!

### 3/5 — Warum ist es so schwer gemacht die App zu kündigen?

*2026-06-20, version 1.156.11*

Es gibt weder über Abonnement im iPhone noch eine Mail Adresse wo man sich melden kann! Ich finde das nicht ok .

### 1/5 — Don’t try free trial

*2026-06-04, version 1.156.2*

I signed up for the free 7 day trial, decided this wasn’t for me so cancelled it so was very surprised to find £74.99 taken from my bank account. I sent an email to the company but the only response I have received so far is an email asking for a review of their service when they haven’t even responded to my email! To say I am disgusted is an massive understatement. If you’re thinking of the ‘free’ trial, forget it! It seems I made a very costly mistake 😡

### 2/5 — Tried to charge even though I’d cancelled after three days.

*2026-06-03, version 1.156.2*

I decided to try the Hava app because it advertised a free trial period with the option to cancel and pay nothing if it wasn’t suitable. While the app made a lot of promises, I found that it didn’t really meet my needs, so I cancelled after three days. The cancellation was confirmed and acknowledged through my Apple subscriptions. However, despite this, the company still attempted to charge me for a full year’s subscription at the end of the trial period, which was both unexpected and disappointing

### 1/5 — No Apple Health integration!

*2026-06-03, version 1.155.1*

It’s 2026, how can a health or fat loss app not have Apple health integration? This essentially makes it useless. Such a baseline feature to have.

### 4/5 — Great app but needs some tweaking

*2026-05-30, version 1.155.1*

I have had the app for a few days now and I have previously used BitePal for ai meal tracking etc . I think this is a really intelligent app, but it needs some modification ie, when the scan gets information incorrect (perhaps it identifies something as beef instead of fish) you need to have an option on the iOS app where you can modify what it sees and also be able to change the nutritional information including calories fats carbs and protein when it gets it wrong . Also be able to easily modify the quality by choice of grams or cup measurement when I haven’t eaten a full serve of a scanned barcode or meal picture . I am finding the ai assistant often gives me instructions that are just plain incorrect on how to make these modifications. The app has promise and it gives a really great perspective on nutrition, so I would love to see these fixed !

### 4/5 — Interessanter Ansatz

*2026-05-28, version 1.155.1*

Leider keine deutsche Übersetzung

### 3/5 — Free Trial not so feee

*2026-05-25, version 1.148.0*

I cancelled my subscription to Hava long before the free trial was over and they still billed my credit card for  one year memebership. So buyer beware
Update:  seems two accounts were made and only one was cancelled within the free trial period. The company returned the funds promptly.

### 1/5 — SCAM

*2026-05-24, version 1.148.0*

I signed up for a free trial and immediately attempted to cancel it. It has not been possible. Not from the app, not from the App Store. Not even after I’ve emailed directly to the developer. I have been charged a full year subscription fee and I’m still unable to stop the direct debit. I will be reporting this to my bank of course

### 1/5 — Rip off

*2026-05-18, version 1.148.0*

They say they offer a week free trial before debiting your card and can be cancelled any time but I have been unable to cancel as it doesn’t appear in my subscription list.
Wrote to their support but still no answer

### 1/5 — Too many bugs, too expensive

*2026-05-14, version 1.144.0*

Some items inputed using the bar code scanner were consistently read wrong. I asked AI how to change amounts to cups, tablespoons etc, and it said to click the pencil icon which does not exist in the area AI said it would be. In another AI chat, it asked if I wanted to know the scores of some foods. I typed yes and AI stopped working. Using the photo feature doesnt always identify the meal correctly. Since I cant change serving sizes to cups, tablespoons, etc., I now have to weigh my food. There isnt an area to enter a recipe so it becomes even more cumbersome since the photo feature is unreliable. This app is far too expensive to have to do all that.

### 1/5 — Beware

*2026-05-09, version 1.144.0*

I feel scammed! Within a span of 24 hours I subscribed and cancelled my subscription and Hava still charged my credit card a full year membership.

### 1/5 — It’s contradictory and frustrating

*2026-05-07, version 1.144.0*

I had canceled before the 7 day trial was up because it is designed for does that eat processed foods and it penalizes home cooking. I still was charged the $39, and I don’t find it useful at all.

### 4/5 — Improve searching for favorites

*2026-05-05, version 1.144.0*

To get 5 stars from me, you’ll need to add the ability to search just the foods and meals that I have set to favorites. Also, the general search results should always put the favorites that meet the search criteria at the top. Otherwise, it’s a great app that has helped me reach my goal weight and lower my A1C, which is no longer in the pre-diabetes range!!

### 2/5 — Unable to get a refund

*2026-05-02, version 1.144.0*

This looked like a great app.  As a long time user of MFP I was hopeful it would be accurate and support MFP for when a picture was the best I could do to log. I signed up for the free trial version. Or so I thought. 
Unfortunately it didn’t meet my expectations or maybe I just wasn’t willing to take the time to double log and edit after a picture was taken. 
In any case, and much to my surprise, I discovered that I had actually paid for a full year!! I was not in a trial period as I thought. (7days)
I wrote Hava multiple emails asking for a refund. All I got back was encouragement to use the app. 
I don’t want to use it. I want a refund. 
I don’t expect you, the developer, to help but
you should know that this happened. Very
Shady business. A customer who is disappointed in a product should be refunded $ if respectfully requested. The mistake may have been mine for sure but to not be taken care of was inexcusable. 
Buyer beware.

### 1/5 — WARNING do not sign up for this App

*2026-06-25, version 1.156.11*

I just signed up a month ago paying for the year and today I received an email that they are going into bankruptcy and won’t guarantee refunds.

### 1/5 — Can’t cancel membership

*2026-06-23, version 1.156.11*

Trying to cancel my membership

### 1/5 — Don’t join. You CANT cancel

*2026-06-20, version 1.156.11*

Awful awful company. No option in the app to cancel only delete the account…but you will still be charged. Have emailed 8 times. No one cares. They are awful!!! Do not join. You can’t cancel

### 1/5 — BEWARE!!!!

*2026-06-19, version 1.156.11*

I cancelled my subscription before the end of the 7 day free trial. My credit card was charged and despite my request for refund they have refused. Buyer beware!!!!

### 1/5 — Can’t cancel

*2026-06-17, version 1.156.4*

Make it hard to cancel

### 1/5 — Deceptive billing, broken trial system, and counter-intuitive logic

*2026-06-16, version 1.156.4*

Do not sign up for the free trial unless you are prepared to fight for your money. Their promotional videos claim a "no questions asked" full refund if you don't like the product, but it is a total lie.

I canceled my trial on June 14th—before it was set to expire—but they charged my card $99 a full day early anyway. When I reached out to support with screenshot evidence of my timely cancellation, their rep (Piotr) completely refused to acknowledge the proof and just passed the buck to Apple. Their system clearly doesn't account for different time zones, and to make matters worse, they give you absolutely zero notification or warning that your trial is about to end and convert to a massive annual fee.

As for the app itself, I am completely unsatisfied. The way they calculate their "satiety coefficients" is totally counter-intuitive and confusing. It is not something me personally would be able to—or want to—get used to.

Hava will not honor their refund guarantee, and canceling without getting charged is seemingly impossible due to their predatory billing timing. Save your $99 and stay away.

### 1/5 — Impossible to cancel

*2026-06-13, version 1.156.4*

The instructions to cancel don’t actually match the app.  Messaged support twice and no reply.  Be warned

### 1/5 — Mediocre app, great marketing, deceptive terms

*2026-06-13, version 1.156.4*

I was curious about this app because it promised to provide insight into food in a way that my regular macro tracking apps do not. I signed up for the free trial and was notified in that process that I would receive an email prior to the trial ending and giving me the option to opt out. I tried the app and found that the information I was looking for was not easily obtained from the app and therefore I chose to end my free trial. However, I never got the promised. Email notifying me of the end of my trial, and there was no easy or obvious way to end that trial. So a day before the trial’s end I sent an email to support asking them for guidance on how to end it so I would not be Charged. I never received a response to that email. Next thing I know I was charged $99 for the year. I wrote to support and this time they responded in a timely manner, but informed me that I had no option for a refund. It’s an attractive app and moderately useful, but I rated it on one star because I find their support and terms to be unclear at best and disappointingly deceptive.

### 1/5 — User

*2026-06-09, version 1.156.4*

Terrible app and costs are 99.00 plus tax. Will not let you cancel early!!

### 1/5 — Hard to change password

*2026-06-07, version 1.156.4*

I did the 7 day free subscription, then went to log in and it didn’t accept password. 
I had made password  elsewhere and copied and pasted. Did a reset of password, but email to re do password never arrived. I tried it several times. 
I now wish to unsubscribe totally, if you can’t get this correct then I don’t want the subscription.

### 5/5 — Outstanding!

*2026-06-26, version 1.156.12*

This app is excellent.

### 5/5 — Most Accurate & Fastest Food Tracking App I Have Used

*2026-06-14, version 1.156.4*

This is the most accurate and fastest food tracking app I have used. It is very easy to use, looks great and I love the satiety score. It really helps you to see how small changes in your food choices can make a big difference and it does help to make you feel full and for longer. Fantastic app.

### 5/5 — So far so great !

*2026-05-21, version 1.148.0*

I have only just started using Hava, and when I first downloaded it I wasn’t sure .  I watched the videos and started to understand more !  Talking to the AI Ava has been so informative and fun !  I am really enjoying the app, I can’t tell if I’ve lost any weight yet as it’s early days, but I’m enjoying eating healthy and trying to reach my goals !  I’ve not ever been like that on any other diet !

### 5/5 — New Beginnings

*2026-04-25, version 1.140.0*

After 50 years of yoyo dieting, I am no longer “dieting”. This app has given me the ability to eat like a normal person and enjoy normal food. Just focusing on satiety scores and eating the correct amount of protein.

### 5/5 — Great app!!!

*2026-04-18, version 1.135.2*

Functional and results driven.

### 5/5 — Love it! Definitely Give it a Try

*2026-04-04, version 1.135.1*

What I love about this app is that it’s not just another calorie counter.   
It does a great job in telling you what to eat and gives you instant feedback on your meals.  It even gives you tips on how to improve the meal you just ate.  In just a few days I can already tell there is a dramatic change in my satiety making it easier than ever to reach my goals. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Hava

*2026-03-17*

Excelente conceito, que acaba com os dogmas de comida boa x comida ruim e coloca os alimentos num espectro em que você faz suas escolhas baseadas na saciedade. Transcende o conceito de low-carb, e amplia o
ângulo de interpretação de um alimento para outras propriedades. O livro satiety per calorie é incrível.

**Developer response:** Hi Emilio! Thank you so much for this thoughtful and generous review. We’re truly grateful that the ideas resonated with you.

It means a lot to hear that you appreciated the book’s broader perspective on food, not as simply “good” or “bad,” but as something to understand more deeply through satiety and other important qualities. That shift in thinking is exactly what we hoped to offer.

We’re especially delighted that Satiety Per Calorie made such a strong impression on you. Thank you again for your support and for taking the time to share your experience.

If you have any additional feedback or if there is anything we can assist you with, please feel free to reach out to us at support@hava.co

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-03-09, version 1.127.2*

Im not hungry!  Im losing weight and eating healthy.   Highly recommend

### 5/5 — Makes it much easier

*2026-02-22, version 1.125.2*

Hava makes it much easier to stay on track with my goals of losing weight. I found that I needed to increase my calories when I stay above 50 with my meal ratings.

### 5/5 — Honestly a great app

*2026-01-09, version 1.111.7*

It’s a great app and has helped me learn a lot!!! It’s like having a literal nutritionist or doctor with you as you make food choices!!! I also like that the founder, who is an MD, is personally involved. It feels personal. That’s how I would describe it - it’s not just another lifeless AI app made to make money. I would continue using except for the price. That’s the only drawback. Otherwise, great job Hava and don’t listen to the unsubstantiated negative reviews! You don’t have to please everyone.
