I would like to see numbers and sometimes it doesn’t keep a list of records of previous measurements. ### 2/5 — Wish I hadn’t spent $9.99 *2022-05-24, version 1.4* I’ve searched for HCG apps and thought this would be good. Sadly it’s not as user-friendly as others. I’d recommend the free version of FitnessPal, it has the bar code scanner for food and you can set the calorie counts and customize lots of things. ### 2/5 — Not great *2021-03-15, version 1.4* It’s not saving my body tracking at all. I tried to go back a few days to compare my inches but they’re all blank out. Can you assist to fix it? ### 4/5 — HCG App review *2021-02-14, version 1.4* So, far app is pretty good. It would be nice to be able to scan a barcode and have the nutritional information load. ### 2/5 — Needs improvement *2019-10-30* The calorie counter is off, the main benefit is it tracks the days. Very expensive for what you get. ### 1/5 — Don't buy *2017-03-19, version 1.3* Garbage freezes up! ### 1/5 — WASTE OF MONEY *2017-03-15, version 1.3* Stopped working after 2 1/2 days! ### 1/5 — Locks up all the time *2017-02-16, version 1.3* I do not like this app at all - and unfortunately we had to pay for it. The interface isn't user friendly and it locks up all the time while inputting. DELETING IT! ### 1/5 — Stopped Working after Three Days! *2017-01-31, version 1.3* I read the reviews and didn't think they really meant it. Guess what! It's true. Some strange white box pops up and you can close it nor access anything else on the app. Not awesome. ### 1/5 — The app freezes up. Frustrating *2017-01-30, version 1.3* The app keeps freezing up. Please fix this ### 1/5 — DO NOT PURCHASE!!! *2017-01-15, version 1.3* This app is a ripoff. You download it, get excited and next it freeze up. You will need to reboot it and all your data is gone and same thing happens again. Don't waste your money!!!! ### 1/5 — Please update *2017-01-11, version 1.3* This no longer works with Apple. ### 1/5 — White screen *2017-01-10, version 1.3* Had the app downloaded for less than 36 hours and now all I get when I open the app is a white block over the app passcode. It is two big and doesn't allow me to get past it. I deleted the app and am requesting a refund. ### 1/5 — Does not work at all!!!! *2017-01-10, version 1.3* The app freezes immediately. Super disappointed and wondering how they are still taking $10 from people. ### 1/5 — App is frozen *2017-01-07, version 1.3* Just purchased and went to put my measurements in and app is frozen? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible *2021-03-01* Done waste your money there are so many better apps out there I want my money back ### 1/5 — Not worth $9.99 *2020-10-14, version 1.4* Mostly intuitive, but seems outdated. Would have been nice to have a scan upc option to help log foods. Didn’t have all the options for dosing like patch or gel. Didn’t find where to adjust the number of calories, as I thought that was the whole purpose of 2.0 to be more flexible. Handy to have “approved foods” listing. Didn’t recognize a lot of the “store brands”. In hindsight I would have paid $9.99, switched to a free app. ### 1/5 — Just use paper *2020-05-25, version 1.4* Zero customer service. The food is really hard to log in because of the way they do the measurements. They don’t have an “Apple” day option, just a “steak” day. It’s horrible. I tried to contact them twice and got a auto reply that they’d get back with me, but they didn’t. Super lame for nothing. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2020-01-02, version 1.4* Mostly disappointed about the food log. I don’t eat restaurant food and this app lacks easy calorie counts for basics hcg diet. I’ve had a better experience with free calorie logging apps. I’m frustrated because I did my research before I got this app and it seemed so great. It is nice to enter weight loss and watch the graph but not worth $10. It’s also nice it tracks the day and phase of program. I’m 43 yrs old. Done HCG 3 times and I prefer my spiral notebook and pen to this app. ### 1/5 — I want to cancel *2019-07-03, version 1.4* This app does not give you and option to stop the subscription. I am having a hard time getting payments stopped ### 1/5 — App Froze and I can't get my info *2017-07-17, version 1.3* I logged all my health info in there in the begging of my diet and now the App Froze and I can't access my info. Very disappointed ### 1/5 — It is true...do not buy this app! *2017-05-18, version 1.3* My app crashed after 5 days. Do not spend the money, the app will eventually crash and become unusable. ### 1/5 — Ugh *2017-05-10, version 1.3* This is day two on my diet and this app has already frozen 4 times. Each time I have to delete it and add it again so it loses the data! Frustrating, especially because it cost me $10. ### 1/5 — Lacking in areas - just ok *2017-04-30, version 1.3* For a typical hcg'er this app is lack luster. The reason I keep it is for a visual reminder on my home screen that I'm on the hcg diet. Missing many features that you can get from a free app. Needs some enhancements to bring it up to date and worth the money. UPDATE 2017- app is unsupported, crashes and doesn't appear to have been updated to work with current OS. ### 1/5 — Crashed After One Day *2017-04-04, version 1.3* After I paid for app a notification appeared that this app would slow down my phone and that the app needed to be updated by the maker. Worked fine day 1. Day 2, crashed. Will not open no matter what. Terrible. Waste of $$$. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Keeps me on Track *2023-03-13, version 1.4* Love this app! Keeps trace of everything! The only thing I’d suggest is the ability to see a report of your consecutive daily loss. But do love it. ### 5/5 — Great app *2022-01-22, version 1.4* This has helped me stay on track! Perfect for those that need reliable help and accountability. ### 5/5 — Awesome hCG app! *2020-02-25, version 1.4* This HCG app is so easy to use! The daily tracking is the best! ### 5/5 — Just started *2018-05-18, version 1.4* Taking some getting used to yet 2nd day ### 5/5 — App freezes *2017-01-25, version 1.3* This used to be a good app to use to while on the HCG diet to track your progress and help keep you in track But the app is now prone to freezing now and the only way to reboot it is to delete the app and all you have logged and then re install the app Don't Buy ### 5/5 — App is not working on the 3rd day. *2016-02-15, version 1.3* After reading the reviews on this app versus the other apps that are available, I decided to go with this one. After paying $9.99 for it, you would think it would at minimum work. But it is frozen and I can't access anything. This is just awful! ### 5/5 — Look no further *2013-11-01, version 1.3* If you are looking to track your food, water, and weight..this is your app! The food listing is extensive and does a great job of helping you plan your meals. I especially like the charts included so you can see exactly how far you have come. Great app! ### 5/5 — Perfect HCG diet coach *2013-08-17, version 1.3* I have been very successful on the HCG 23 day diet. This software was perfect for keeping me on track and motivated. The only addition I would make is to report on nutrient content not just calories but I am stats guy it may just be me. One of the best apps I have ever used and the first one I have ever provided a review for. ### 5/5 — Well worth the money *2013-02-24* Definitely recommend this app ### 5/5 — HCG App *2013-01-13* App is very useful. It saves writing things down, which you sometimes forget, or if you are out. Its handy having it with you at all times and its so very easy to use. It will also be handy for future general nutritional information and calories etc. One small thing I cannot work out though is the graph, it only does the first 7 days, it won't scroll past day 7. Other than that, I rate it! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
