### 5/5 — JP

*2026-08-27*

App is amazing the only thing that I change is too many reminders to upgrade this app but is very friendly and I totally recommend it

### 2/5 — Calorie counts are not accurate

*2026-08-26*

Many of the calories of foods found in this app are rated lower or higher than what the numbers actually are. Accuracy is way off.

### 1/5 — Pop Ups

*2026-08-25, version 23.12.1*

I used to really like this app, but if you have the free version, every time you go to open it, a pop up appears asking you to go “premium”. It’s forcing me to use the app less and less.

### 2/5 — Glitches that misled my weight loss journey

*2026-08-24, version 23.12.1*

I’ve had this app for years now, even bought the premium at one point but something wasn’t right. I wasn’t losing weight like I was hoping for  and I ended up gaining weight. I am a little overweight and I am really trying to get back to a healthy size, but there’s glitches that happen on the app frequently to where it is telling me I am burning more than what I normally do. Doubling or even tripling the amount that I actually burned and I also it’s not counting my walking at all. .. this app needs some serious improvements and I don’t think it’s worth the $99 that’s being asked.

### 5/5 — Great for calorie/water tracking

*2026-08-23, version 23.12.1*

I really like how the app is very easy to use. It has many features to help you track calories. Plus more features that I haven’t used like the recipe ideas. I also like how you can keep track of how much water I drink each day. It really helps me to see how well I’m doing and to be mindful of not eating empty calories.

### 1/5 — Fell off a cliff

*2026-08-22, version 23.12.1*

App always glitches out and doesn’t freezes upon launch even after restarting the app multiple times. When it doesn’t glitch, a pop up to pay always pops up every time

### 2/5 — Share option removed

*2026-08-22*

Why did you removed the share option you use to have? I was using the app to plan our needs with my partner and the option to share meal was the main reason I choose this app. We eat the same food so it was really convenient to just share the meal with here and she would only have to adjust the portion. I will be looking for another app.

### 3/5 — AI counter needs a lot more work

*2026-08-19*

Pretty decent app, however the AI feature definitely needs more work on accuracy and counting calories. I find that it doubles/triples the total calorie amount on items. A Starbucks drink can be labeled 210 cals per their website, and the ai counter is counting it as 587 cals.

### 4/5 — Overall really helpful app with some quirks

*2026-08-17, version 23.12.1*

I’ve been a subscriber for roughly 5 years. Tracking what I eat has been critical to a healthier life. I dropped 55 lbs and increased fitness overall. This app helped me manage my eating better, supplied some better choices and recipes, and made it pretty simple. The less friction you have tracking your eating, the more likely you’ll track it. The AI updates made this even easier with taking pictures of your meal to track it. It’s not perfect, but it’s often close enough that the slight differences won’t materially impact your tracking. The one area it seems less intelligent is in reminders. I’m constantly reminded of eat breakfast or lunch long after I’ve already tracked it in the app. That seems like a no-brainer to handle correctly. This is a little annoying but not a deal breaker. They also have a relatively reasonable subscription amount. I still recommend.

### 1/5 — Extrêmement DÉÇU!

*2026-08-16*

J’ai tester plusieurs applications et celle-ci étais la plus complète. Je l’ai utilisé plusieurs semaine et je suis franchement déçu. 
Malheureusement l’AI est le pire défaut de cette application. Les macros sont TOUJOURS mal calculés. Je n’ai jamais eu un seul repas bien calculé. 
Je pouvais rentrer deux fois le même repas et les macros était différents. 
Crée des recettes est déjà bien compliqué mais en plus, quand je créais mes recettes en rentrant mes ingrédients avec les code bare il n’y a pas un seul macro qui étais rentré correctement dans l’application. Je parle de 500 calorie de différence, du double de sodium, 60% de glucides en plus…. À tout les jours et pour chaque repas. 
Je regrette d’avoir pris l’abonnement pour 1ans, une vrais perte d’argent.
