Guess she’s more interested in making money off her cruises & books. Have to admit, if you choose money over your followers, it’s not truly about wanting to help people and doesn’t make me want to buy/follow anymore. Listen to your loyal fans Lisa! ### 2/5 — Dedicated fan but... *2019-11-03, version 1.1.4* I love all of Hungry Girl books. I thought maybe this app could take the place of a tracker like Fitness Pal. It can’t. At a minimum, I wish the HG app would give the recipe and nutritional values of the food options. To prove that people have the book, you could require them to log on and reference a specific word on a certain page. Or something like that. ### 2/5 — Please update *2017-09-23, version 1.0.21* Can you update the app? Unable to use with the new software update. ### 2/5 — You have to buy the book to use the app *2017-09-09, version 1.0.21* I downloaded the FREE app and it told me I need the book to use the app. Hmmm ### 3/5 — Does not sync from IPhone to IPad *2015-07-19, version 1.0.21* Love the app, except if I select a menu for the week on my IPad, I can't get my shopping list on my IPhone. I checked my settings and can't find a reason why... 😕 ### 4/5 — Love it *2014-05-06, version 1.0.21* I love how easy this app is. It is a really good companion app to the book. I only wish I could see what I chose from the drop downs on the food calendar. It's great for making the shopping list, but as I go through the week I can't remember what I said I would eat (i.e. Zucchini and cauliflower with the veg and bean bowl, pistachios or almonds, or what fruit was going to be my side, etc). I have to choose something from the drop down, but then it just disappears. I love everything ends about the book and the app. ### 4/5 — Almost perfect *2014-05-05, version 1.0.21* This is great! I love the meal planning and the shopping list. However, when I go to view the choices I made for a particular recipe there it no option to see the choices. ### 1/5 — Very Disappointing *2014-04-25, version 1.0.21* I've downloaded the app at least 4 times and I still can't get it to work correctly. The first time, I was unable to cross items off of my shopping list, so I removed the app and I tried downloading it again...3 more times to be exact. The other three times, I couldn't get the app to do anything more than display the opening graphics. Very disappointing. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2014-04-24, version 1.0.21* I downloaded the app twice but it still only shows the graphics nothing else ### 3/5 — Shopping List Issues *2014-04-07, version 1.0.20* I like the app, especially for shopping. But it does not give me all needed items for my weekly menu. I'm making three chicken dishes and it didn't even list that I needed it. Please fix! ### 4/5 — A great app with a lot of potential *2014-04-05, version 1.0.20* It made grocery shopping easier in a lot of respects but....my in some ways it needs more granularity. My husband went shopping and lost patience with the high volume vegetables. To him a veggie is a veggie. We are both doing the plan, yet we can't share the info across phones. Hope for a future tie ins to the other books. If I check off owning a book, then it can put in the shopping list. ### 4/5 — Hungry girl app *2014-04-03, version 1.0.20* I love the app & it's perfect in conjunction with the book ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — The hungry girl diet *2020-11-26* Choosing the recipes was easy. However I couldn't get the shopping list which was disappointing. Hopefully just a bug fix! ### 1/5 — App is broken *2018-09-07, version 1.1.3* Doesn’t work? Can’t add meals to the calendar to generate a shopping list and schedule. Please update. ### 1/5 — Locks up *2018-05-03, version 1.1.3* App keeps locking up. Not useful. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2018-04-21, version 1.1.3* App does not work. You can’t add any meals to be able to generate a shopping list. App will not even let you go back. Very disappointing. ### 1/5 — Need to UPDATE!! *2018-02-13, version 1.1.3* The app still fails to open correctly or in a timely fashion. Laggy and not helpful. You would think Hungry Girl could do much BETTER! I guess she doesn’t actually use the app or she would see the issues! FAIL!! ### 1/5 — Update *2018-01-29, version 1.0.21* Why won’t the developer update this app?! ### 1/5 — Doesn't work with new iOS *2017-07-31, version 1.0.21* Used this before and loved the shopping list. Now it won't work and doesn't look like it's been updated in awhile. Shame. ### 1/5 — How is this still not fixed? *2014-08-22, version 1.0.21* Just like reviewers from April, all I see is a graphic. This app really would have helped me with the ebook. So frustrated. ### 1/5 — Virtually useless *2014-06-04, version 1.0.21* Very disappointing totally not accessible ### 1/5 — Non functioning app :( *2014-05-01, version 1.0.21* Wanted to really like this app, and apply it today while shopping for the weekly menu. Downloaded it and all I see are graphics, as the two previous people above me have mentioned. So Disappointed. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great FREE app *2024-01-26, version 1.1.4* With every app charging a subscription fee these day it’s refreshing to find a free app that is useful. I love the Hungry Girl Diet book and this makes the plan super easy to follow. Being able to create a food plan on the calendar that I can reference throughout the day and week is so helpful. I also love that it generates a grocery list. I can go down the list, checking off items I already have and then create a list from the items I still need instead of having to go through each recipe. The only thing I would love love love to see updated is adding in the choices from the companion cookbook, that would make my life that much easier. But, all in all, a great simple app that does what it’s intended to do ### 5/5 — Love It *2020-05-18, version 1.1.4* The app does exactly what it is supposed to and for a free app I wouldn’t expect any of the features people seem to think it should have. Makes a shopping list and a meal plan. I love it. ### 5/5 — All that it promises to be! *2020-01-02, version 1.1.4* This app is perfect for its purpose- for use alongside the book. It does everything it claims to... not sure why anyone would expect it to replace a fitness tracker, that’s simply not the purpose nor does it claim to be! Love this app. Sad it has low reviews, it does exactly what it’s supposed to! ### 5/5 — very useful! *2014-04-23, version 1.0.21* I just purchased the book (which is really good) and thought I'd give the app a try. VERY useful. I've logged the rest of the week's meals and it gave me a grocery list that I can customize. very nice! ### 5/5 — Close to PERFECT!! *2014-04-20, version 1.0.21* This app is SO well-made, it almost blew my head off! Easy-peasy to navigate and to plan a week's meals. Admittedly, I haven't had more than a couple of days to see if it's user-friendly interface has any 'crash flaws', etc...but so far so good. I am IMPRESSED! The companion book is just as AWESOME and I say it's a must! I have noticed 2 very obvious improvements needed for hasty updates. Please add these options!! 1) Make it so that you can change serving sizes from '1' to whatever amount you need. I love that the recipes are written for one. But if 2 people are dieting together, your Shopping List will give accurate amounts for your actual weekly grocery needs. I wouldn't have to remember to double every item on my list since I cook for two. And... 2) Make my shopping list PRINTABLE and edit-able. Where I can move items up & down the list or change and add categories/locations to follow the map of MY grocery store. Or make note of a coupon or brand. Make it interactive! I want to get in and out of that zoo! Otherwise...this is the best diet app/book companion on the market! ### 5/5 — Obsessed!!!! *2014-03-31, version 1.0* Wow, I can't believe this app! I thought the book was fantastic, and frankly didn't expect much of this app. I was wrong, this is worth the price of the book twice over. It allows you to plan all your meals as far out as you'd like (with pictures) and even allows you to modify them with different ingredients. That would be great enough, but then it tabulates any combinations of days to shop for and gives you automagically an organized (and checkable) grocery list!!! Amazing. ### 5/5 — Easy to use! *2014-03-27, version 1.0* So far I have created a shopping list that goes with my meal choices... Easy and helpful. Love the book too ! ### 4/5 — Helpful but needs updated *2019-01-05, version 1.1.4* I have found this app so helpful to my weight loss goals, and it is great with the first diet book, but it would be even better if it also gave options beyond the first month. The ability to include or add recipes from the Diet Cookbook as well as the other Hungry Girl cookbooks as well would be a huge help. It would be something that people would most likely be happy to pay for the upgrades for. Since a lot of her recipes are on the website it could be easy to link to those recipes to add the title and photo and grocery list to the dish. This would help so many people stay on track! ### 4/5 — Love it but..... *2016-07-11, version 1.0.21* I love this app and I got my meals set up. For my food list, I had to click on each day to see what I need to get from the store. It would be NICE to have all the food listed together not day to day.. Please check this out and fix it please... Thanks ### 4/5 — Shopping list issues *2014-06-14, version 1.0.21* I have the book and used this app to build out my menu for the week. Originally I gave this app very poor marks because of issues with the original shopping list. However, after I went to the "help" section I realized I wasn't clicking each day individually to select it (I thought I could select the beginning and end date ranges and the list would be created from all the meals within the date range.) Not so, click each day so it highlights. So now my chief complaint is the poor user interface as you open the app, it's way to vague on how to get to the menu of options). You must click on the second a Hungry Girl icon (it appears below the first after taking a few seconds to launch. Not too intuitive and I think I just accidentally happened on it. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
