UI is so clunky

This app is not intuitive at all. The design makes no sense and it isn’t obvious what I’m doing.

Clunky, unresponsive, glitchy

As a user inputting data into the app, it’s very clunky, hard to use, difficult to navigate between screens and hard to press foods and get them loaded. it’s concept and design mimics other major brands however its functionality does not.

If you’re a professional seeking data, find another tool.

If you are a user, just accept that this is glitchy and clunky.

Broken app

It literally won’t load up

Terrible

So buggy.
I was offered to use this (or paper) by my local nhs.

I expect if you log detail “on the go”, it’s fine.
However, I’m trying to log yesterday’s food and it’s just defaulting to today.
I’ve wasted 45 mins going around in circles.

I think I’ll just go paper.

Is there any qa on this product?

Probably the worst diet app I’ve ever used

Please use another app. This is the least user friendly tracking app I have ever used. Glitchy, signs me out then won’t allow me to sign back in. Adding food is a nightmare unlike most other tracking apps. Everything about this app is difficult and unfriendly for the user. Just awful.

Lots of errors

Can’t log meals at all. Says it’s for an invalid date. I have used before but the update has set it back.

Poor

The most poorly performing app I have ever used

Quite possibly the clunkiest app ever

This app is utter and complete garbage. Clunky, unnecessary complexity, huge wait times for even basic or repeated food items. It took over 3 minutes for me to input 2 cups of coffee for different meal times. Half the features are bugged or don’t fit on an iPhone screen.

Appalling

I have been using this for about a month & on the odd day that everything is working it’s ok but unfortunately the days it doesn’t is so frustrating for example the save button randomly goes missing or like today I was unable to go back to the day before and add a food that I’d forgotten. Shame!

Awful app slow - unresponsive ZERO STARS IF I COULD

Worst piece of software I’ve used in a long time. Slow with a search for food sometimes taking over a minute. The app is clumsy and poorly written. If I was the developer I would be ashamed.

No update in over 3 years and it shows. The search disappears behind the notch or pill on iPhone 13 or 14.

You should be ashamed

Not User Friendly

This could possibly be the least responsive app. It will not allow me to actually log food, but only create recipes. This app does very little compared to other apps. Why would anyone use this app when MyFitnessPal exists.

Unusable

Feel awful saying this as someone has made it but it’s a terrible application. I will continue to use MyFitnessPal which is also free but well built. It’s fiddly, takes ages to load, it has barely any barcodes scanned in, I almost feel like I should be paid an admin fee for the amount of data I’m inputting. I can’t input for the week ahead (maybe I can just not intuitive at all) which I like to do to plan meals. I have hired a nutritionist who uses this application for some reason but will not be continuing use. It is taking a lot of time and effort which I don’t mind, if it’s an efficient use of my time which this application is not.

Poor

Really slow, incredibly bad database. I got this Rec’d from my trainer because she can see details but I can’t put the food it. Nutra Check just works and has a huge database.

A waste of space on my phone

Very limited database. Search function is primitive. Crashes. Can’t see macro/micronutrient values when choosing an item. Clunky. Have to constantly refer to eg Tesco grocery website to check total weight of a product if I’m eg choosing half the product and don’t have scales to hand. Would never consider this unless asked to by nutritionist. In fact think I’ll ditch the nutritionist and stick with MyFitnessPal. Much more intuitive

Hopeless

Could be great, but ridiculously over complicated and then crashes. Fail

This should be zero ⭐️

This app is shockingly bad! It’s sluggish, doesn’t work most of the time, when it does it isn’t fit for purpose! No updates for over a year!! If it wasn’t for the fact my nutritionist is using this I would be going straight back to MyFitness Pal

Not happy

Making a recipe, I’m adding foods, then suddenly I get error messages, or it freezes. 5 clicks between selecting one food portion, hit return,,hit save,(why is that two processes?) back to recipe, look in info, select, scroll, add ingredient, VR doesn’t work this time, so type it in..... until you can (try to) enter the next item. All very frustrating. I have 4 more ingredients to enter, But it just won’t let me save them.
The quantity adjuster for portion size gets in the way of the figures I’ve entered, on my iPad (better on my phone, strangely). And then won’t close, nor let me edit the amount. Freezes. Then sneakily the app enters the foods as snacks instead of part of my recipe. I didn’t ask it to, I wasn’t even aware I could at that point! I never got to the end of my recipe, and I’ve no idea how I’d use it in logging my food, but I’ve already given up. For now. This thing is what my dietitian wants me to use, so I’ve got to try again. Sorry I’m incoherent with frustration. Yes I have written to support. If they help me I’ll leave a better review!

I see I’m not alone, and when I click on Support, you offer stuff for the professionals, on the PC, not we end users using our phones and tablets, from my initial look at any rate.

Trying to be too clever before getting the basics right

I’m using this app as part of my uni course but it really needs work. Stop with the clever interfaces (like VR) and just get entering food easier. The constant visible “flashy” refreshing of data, like the tracker wheels is really heavy on the eyes. Great things are the front screen trackers. They’re fabulous and why I’m sticking with it. I also like the photos of food quantities. However, the barcode database lacks many common items from major UK supermarkets. Multi-add is buggy and regularly adds two of one food in the list and misses another out. Changing portion sizes once the food is added doesn’t seem to work - or at least it’s not clear if it has. And a really major problem is that you can’t see your progress summed up in any way. You can’t see data for anything other than a day so if you want to see your Vitamin A intake for a week (much more relevant than per day), you can’t. This app has the potential to be great, but at the moment it’s form over function.

Decent app

I use this app for my professional athletes and it works really well! Lots of great ideas to interface with the app and is very user friendly! I a few glitches, but I know the app is in beta testing, so hoping for improvements. Overall, 4/5.

Friction

Possibly the worst designed UI I have used in many years. The Dieticians/PT you sell the analysis software to want their clients to stay on their diet. This app is insanely hard to enter food. Ditch the gimmick of voice entry. It clearly has a api approach. So give people a web interface. Don’t try it on 4G you will loose your mind. I get you want to get people to do your data entry for you and as you are science based you don’t want junk. But why don’t you licence a DB like weight loss resources?
