User reviews

Just another “completely free” app that cost money.

I understand that data cost money and the need to offer these app for a fee. The point is stop making the statement “ the best thing is that is completely free” be honest in you advertising and you may be surprised at the response.

Score

Score is my best indicator and deterrent not to consume

Very disappointing

I had high hopes for this app but sadly for me it’s a waste of money. You cannot try without signing up to pay -the free trial states they’ll send a reminder to cancel - none received. I tried to cancel on the day of the reminder date but was unable to- you must cancel before that date. In supermarket some items go not scan! Some items have duplicate entries with different scores?! The app does not log food eaten and compare with the health logs so you can see what foods affect your health. What affects the score is basic and lacks detail. Very disappointing and a waste of money for me.

Response from developer

We're sorry the trial reminder, cancellation experience and inconsistent product entries let you down. Please email support@ivyfoodapp.com so we can help with the subscription issue and look into the missing scans and conflicting scores. We also appreciate your suggestions for clearer score explanations and linking a food diary with health logs.
