I know what there doing try to get you too buy the whole year even though you probably won’t use it that long. I would by monthly but not yearly ### 2/5 — Won’t open half the time *2026-08-24, version 18.4.601* Glitches and spins every time I try to enter something. It will be working then the just spins. I will click on other apps with fire speed while this one continues to spin! So frustrating one minute it works, next minute it doesn’t. Want to scan bar code, click camera, spin, spin, spin. Want to open app. Spin spin spin, but can hold down on app and choose to load food and app opens poof! Not my phone! Definitely this app!! ### 3/5 — Fine For Bare Minimum *2026-08-24, version 18.4.601* A lot of the features the app had in the beginning now cost money, but it’s good for just making a weight loss goal and tracking calories and your progress ### 4/5 — Weight management partner *2026-08-24, version 18.4.601* Lose it has really helped me stay aware of my caloric intake and progress toward my weight goals. ### 4/5 — Good but lots of adds *2026-08-22, version 18.4.601* Sometimes the adds get very excessive ### 5/5 — Keeps me on track *2026-08-22, version 18.4.601* This app keeps me on track for my health journey. I like doing the way in and taking a picture when I am successful. Then I get mad at myself when I am not, but my chart goes zigzag. ### 3/5 — Get ready for 40000 questions *2026-08-21, version 18.4.601* If you haven’t used the app for a while, when you relaunch it asked you 40,000 questions about your goals and motivations. Worse than a 1990s game tutorial that drags on for an hour. ### 5/5 — Highly recommend! *2026-08-21, version 18.4.601* This is a great app for tracking calories and nutrition. It has a clear and friendly design, it allows you to scan package bar codes and take photos of foods to enter your meals with surprising accuracy. I’ve used other similar apps over the years but this one is pretty close to perfect. ### 5/5 — Awesome app to lose weight! *2026-08-21, version 18.4.601* I’ve been using this app for over 10 years off and on. It’s the best app for me to use to help maintain my weight or lose travel weight! ### 4/5 — Works with some bugs *2026-08-21, version 18.4.601* This app works as a quick calorie tracker. Huge database of foods and recipes, which makes it rise above other weight loss apps. However, some features are random and don’t do anything and some foods have incorrect calorie totals. Overall, would recommend for the convenience and price. ### 5/5 — Great! *2026-08-21, version 18.4.600* Excellent to keep you motivated towards fitness goals. Highly recommend!!! ### 5/5 — Top notch tech support *2026-08-20, version 18.4.600* I was having a problem with data flowing into my program. Specifically my exercise data. It just happened out of the blue. I submitted a support request, and was immediately contacted. It took a few days to figure and fix the issue, but the majority of that delay was my fault in not responding in a timely manner. Absolutely LOVE the program - best one I’ve ever used. Keep up the GREAT work! N ### 5/5 — It works! *2026-08-20, version 18.4.600* Only thing ever that has helped me keep focus,lose weight, and teach me about nutrition and what my body needs. It’s healthy eating habits for dummies ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — The updates suck *2026-08-25, version 18.4.601* I really liked this app and paid for the lifetime membership bc I loved it so much and now they’ve completely changed it I find that it constantly breaks or the app is slow. It’s irritating. ### 1/5 — Might as well be a paid app *2026-08-23, version 18.4.601* The app used to be so good with basic easy features. Then they hid some features behind a premium wall. Still tolerable so I dealt with it. Now they’ve added ads so frequent that you can’t even put in a basic meal without it taking 5 minutes. I’ve moved to another app that’s so much better. ### 1/5 — Unfair *2026-08-23, version 18.4.601* I am a 15 year old trying to better myself and all the apps including this one is only for 18+. It’s already hard for kids to loose weight since some parents don’t listen, but now there are apps limiting kids from doing something for their own good, this sucks so much. ### 1/5 — Used To Be Good …. *2026-08-22, version 18.4.601* … but now sucks. They took away many useful features and put them under their premium subscription. Bye! ### 1/5 — Ads with premium *2026-08-22, version 18.4.601* Stop showing me GLP1 ads when I pay for premium! Very annoying ### 1/5 — Ads now? *2026-08-21, version 18.4.601* Do not get me wrong. I have used this app for over 6 years and love it. I share with everyone. My husband has now been using for a year and it just updated to ads. ADS! More of a pain to use than it is worth with ads!! So I suggested lifetime membership. I paid like $60 for lifetime. Now they want $80 a year!?! Oh my. There are way too many similar apps to pay that kind of money. And free version is not worth the bother. ### 1/5 — Too many questions during the sign up process *2026-08-20, version 18.4.600* They make you answer way too many questions when signing up, I’m just looking for a simple calorie counter ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-08-19, version 18.4.500* Signed up for a free trial because the app said it was $6 a month after the trial, instead got charged $80 for a year subscription that cannot be refunded. Lifetime was $99 so I tried to at least switch to that but after they charged $80 lifetime switched to $250. This app is a scam. ### 1/5 — Does not let you cancel through app *2026-08-19, version 18.4.500* App doesn’t let you cancel through the app. It makes it more of a nuisance to cancel free trial. Have to go through the actual website to cancel it. ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2026-08-18, version 18.4.500* Doesn’t allow you to start using it. You have to answer a bunch of useless questions that you don’t care about and you can’t bypass it. I would not recommend. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Very good *2026-08-26, version 18.4.601* Been using for years love the premium features would highly recommend ### 5/5 — Louis *2026-08-25, version 18.4.601* I look forward to using this app. Thanks 😊 .

He hasn’t missed a day. He has lost nearly 100 pounds. I am beginning to log things into it and I’m seeing results as well. it really helps you keep track. We got the lifetime memberships, which will be a well worth it. ### 5/5 — Helped me lose over 60lb *2026-08-24, version 18.4.601* This app has helped me lose over 60lb. My weight has went up and down so to pregnancy’s and aging. This app has helped me severely times. ### 5/5 — USE it *2026-08-24, version 18.4.601* One day at a time. USE it. Complete the day with a “done logging”. Tracking necessary to stay the course, and to KEEP the course. ### 5/5 — Marathon Journey *2026-08-24, version 18.4.601* Lose It is the best food log app due to its ease of use, bar code scan, and macro nutrient breakdown. Training for a marathon it is helpful to have an extensive nutrition guide available. ### 5/5 — CALDEF *2026-08-24, version 18.4.601* SOBRANG NAKATULOG TO SA PAG BABAWAS NG TIMBANG KO KAHIT HINDI AKO NAKA PREMIUM SALAMAT AT GINAWA ITO 😍 ### 5/5 — Lose It easy *2026-08-23, version 18.4.601* Really helps ### 5/5 — Back on track!!! *2026-08-22, version 18.4.601* So happy to have a tool to keep me accountable.
