Tried to log in after a few weeks away and it will not let me sign in with my password or allow me to set another password. Will contact NHS tomorrow to find out why there is a problem. Or could you help me to log back into my program that has years of data in it ? ### 1/5 — Impossible to cancel *2025-07-27, version 12.7.8* They make it impossible to cancel then automatically charge you ### 2/5 — Frustrating *2025-02-08, version 12.7.8* When you can get into it it’s quite a useful tool. Virtually always fails to boot up. Always have to log in from scratch with no memory of email or password. Surely it can’t be that hard to get the basics right.Frustrating!! ### 1/5 — Underhanded ongoing subscription *2025-01-01, version 12.7.8* I paid as it was the only way to see if the app would help me. The honest answer is that it didn’t, the main thing is the lack of recipe choice, with recipes in the same grouping all appearing very similar, and to be honest, the Slimming World app feels like it has much more for around the same price, although I accept not specifically aimed at Low Carb. Most annoyingly is that having checked my Apple App Store subscriptions monthly as I do, I know this this app doesn’t show in the list of active or suspended subscriptions so I assumed it was a single annual fee with no on-going subscription. However, yesterday another annual fee has been requested from my bank, no email warning me, no text message, no notification, just straight into taking the money. Then try finding any information on the app about ‘subscriptions’, it is hidden right away in the depths of the site and is just two sentences. It tells you to cancel it in the App Store (yep, the place that it doesn’t show up in)! But to make things harder, it goes on to say that you cannot access your ‘subscription’ details through the app, making it near impossible to sort out the questionable ‘ongoing subscription’. So be warned and think twice before giving these people your money via the App Store. ### 1/5 — Cost ? *2024-01-12, version 12.7.8* No mention of cost, till my personal data was collected. *I request all my data is removed under GDPR uk law.• I feel the cost should be made clear and upfront before collecting my data. ### 3/5 — Very slow to load *2024-01-12, version 12.7.8* Finding app very slow to load , have to shut down and restart . Every couple of days have to add logins details despite selecting remember me . ### 1/5 — Logging out all the time and other things *2023-04-13, version 12.7.5* I have only been signed up for 4 days and have just been using the app for 3 of these days and it keeps wanting me to sign up again and it is not remembering my details. Also when you try to edit any thing which was put in the edit boxes for the time etc are not showing on the screen The app need someone to do QA testing on it Using an iPhone 13 max pro on iOS 16.4.1 ### 2/5 — App very difficult to stay logged in *2023-04-08, version 12.7.5* Thought I try this, so took up offer of 50% discount. But don’t know whether because I didn’t buy subscription through Apple the App keeps opening with screen to buy a subscription. Does keep me logged in, allow touch opening, so have to keep rendering email and password, then wait for App to refresh via Wi-Fi. Makes login food and insulin very tedious. Have to revert to access via Safari. Reported problem and supposedly this has been passed on to their Technical Team, but would have thought they should have solution to hand, can’t see why I the only IPhone user who has had this problem? Programme looks good, but App very poor in comparison with MyNetDiary or MyFitnessPal. ### 1/5 — Very poor App *2023-02-23, version 12.7.5* Not going to waste my time listing all the issues with it. ### 1/5 — Poor UI, no idea how to get the best from the app *2022-10-18, version 12.7.4* I’m sure that the advice the app gives is great, but the UI is terrible. For example, searching for recipes is tedious. When you do find a recipe you like, if you’re switching between apps (for example if you’re shopping online) the app resets to the homepage and you have to go and find the recipe again. I don’t feel like the app has a clear path to follow in order to really get the best from it. Plus, it doesn’t work with the app for my BG monitor, which is a very common one. Really unhappy with it given how much I paid for the subscription. ## Frequently asked questions about Low Carb Program ### What is the Low Carb Program?
