Waste of time
Response from developer
Hi, Thanks for your feedback. Just to clarify, our onboarding typically takes around 1-2 minutes and helps us personalise recommendations based on your symptoms, triggers and goals. We also offer a free trial, allowing users to try the app before committing to a subscription. For those who continue, plans start at less than the price of a coffee per week. The subscription helps cover the costs of AI, food data, servers and ongoing development, allowing us to maintain a high standard of accuracy and continue adding new features. Many free alternatives focus on just one aspect of IBS management. IBS Pal combines food analysis, symptom tracking, AI insights, meal logging, trigger tracking and more in a single app, helping users avoid needing multiple different apps to manage their IBS. We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.

Hi, Thanks for the feedback, we really appreciate it. Just to clarify, barcode scanning for meals/products in the journal hasn’t been removed, and we’re definitely not trying to force AI meal scans. The barcode option is still there, you just need to scroll across the top navigation bar to access it. We’ve also now added medication tracking to the app as well. For serving sizes, these are required so the app can give accurate FODMAP tracking and AI insights, since portion size heavily affects FODMAP levels. Even an estimate helps improve accuracy a lot. We really appreciate the suggestions and will keep improving the app experience.
OK if everything you eat has a barcode

Thanks for the feedback, we really appreciate you taking the time to share it. You’re absolutely right that the AI isn’t perfect yet. It can’t always identify every ingredient, especially with mixed meals or where some ingredients aren’t clearly visible. That said, you can manually add or edit detected foods, which will instantly update the IBS rating. You’ll find this on the meal scan page by tapping the “+” to add foods or the pencil icon to edit what’s been detected. We’re also continuously improving recognition and working towards better support for things like meal kits and recipes. Really helpful feedback, and we’re aiming to make it a more complete all-in-one solution over time. Thanks again for using the app 👍
