### 2/5 — Scam

*2024-03-24*

I paid for six months of this app & everytime I try to do anything on it, it gives an error message saying “token failed to authenticate “. I have tried to get in contact with the company & there is only an email address.  I have sent numerous messages in the past two months, with no response.

**Developer response:** Hi Shandalina!

I'm sorry you are having issues logging in. We don't see any issues on our side but we would love to help you get this fixed asap. Please reach out to support@mealid.fit.

### 2/5 — Is it worth the in App Purchase?

*2024-03-24*

1. You are not able to see the full app and decide if you want to invest in the app.
2. The pricing for the app is better than most weight loss apps.
3. Don’t like there is no trial period.
4. Once you sign up, and get a good look at the app functionality it’s not worth it in my opinion.
5. The meal plan recipes selection is not all that great 
6. The app does have great app features
All in all was it worth the purchase no.

**Developer response:** Hi Shopamom31!

1. You are able to use the app's free version and just like most apps, you would need a subscription to access all of App's function
2. Yes our pricing is geared towards individuals who want to make healthy choices without breaking the bank.
3. You can always sign up for a subscription and if you are not happy with your purchase, you can request a refund with Apple.
4. Please reach out to support@mealid.fit so we can get a better understanding of this issue and make improvements.
5. New recipes are being added Weekly. currently there are hundreds of recipes to choose from. Also we are very selective on what recipes we add as we prioritize healthy food choices.
6. We have many other features in the app you might like. Calorie tracking, fitness photo comparisons, workout journal, automatic fitness level tracking, sleep, step, body composition, cardio fitness tracking and many more. Im sure you can find something that works for you.

### 5/5 — Wow

*2021-02-02*

I downloaded this app by accident was looking for Mealime or Loseit. Your video inspired me to download the app and decided to give it a try because how easy it was to manuever throught the app. All I can say is I signed up for the 6 month plan and I'm glad I downloaded it. I have also introduced this app to my coworkers and family members and now we are challenging ourselves to live a better healthier life. Thank you!

### 5/5 — I lost 14lbs

*2021-01-31, version 1.8*

By far, the best diet plan app in the App store.

### 5/5 — Very good app

*2021-01-31, version 1.8*

Let me say it is one of the best app. I really love it. Thank you developer.

### 3/5 — High expectations but app does not work

*2021-01-31*

I am a big fan of meal planning according to macronutrients and there’s not a lot else on the app market that does the job. I was delighted to find this app and on first impressions all seem to be good. On the free version it gave me a plan for one day after I had entered all my details however the groceries link did not work and crashed the app every time I pressed it. I thought it was the fact it was a free version so I thought I would subscribe and see how it was so I paid and then tried to do the same thing. The app still only gave you one day of meal planning when you scroll to the next day it was blank and you had to re-enter your details and the same thing happened when you clicked the groceries link, the app shutdown. I have requested my money back hopefully will get it . If this app worked properly it would be worth every penny sadly not quite there yet.

**Developer response:** We are sorry that you are experiencing this issue. We are not experiencing this issue on our side however, we don’t see any crashing from our side but we will double check again. 

As far as getting only one day meal plan, when you build a meal plan for weight loss, you will get 4 days of planning. Look up on top of the screen and you will see a weekly calendar. Simply tap on the next 3 days, and your other meal plans will populate and they are customizable too. 

Please read the instructions that pop up when you are building the meal plan because it will help you understand how to use the app correctly.

### 5/5 — Paleo

*2021-01-30, version 1.8*

I'm glad you guys have the Paleo Meal Plan and not recipes. I need to know how much I should eat.

### 5/5 — Good work

*2021-01-28, version 1.8*

Burn the fat and feed the muscle!

### 5/5 — Meal search

*2021-01-28*

Is there a way you can add a food search option? That would be super helpful. Thanks

### 5/5 — Workouts

*2021-01-28, version 1.8*

All that is missing right now is workout videos or training regimens and this will be the best app out there.

### 5/5 — Nutrition

*2021-01-28*

You guys have all the right foods I normally wat so this should be super easy

**Developer response:** We are glad you love the app

### 5/5 — I’m Impressed

*2021-01-28*

Hats off I didn’t think this was all that till I tried it.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Meal prep

*2022-08-30, version 3.1.2*

This app makes it difficult to meal prep throughout the week. It shows the meals on a day by day basis. It would really help me out if I cam see what I am eating for the week so I can properly plan. I have a busy life. I don’t have time to cook everyday. Also for the life of me I don’t know how to pull up the workouts. I have the 3 month plan for 11.99 to this app out. So far I am not impressed.

### 1/5 — Worthless app

*2022-04-07, version 2.8*

Worthless app with absolutely no value

### 1/5 — Potential, but not there yet

*2021-09-27*

I put in that I was lightly active and was looking to put on a little bit of muscle and it recommended I basically eat 3 steaks a day and consume 4500 calories. There’s no good science behind it and the developers did a terrible job of organizing. When you go to print your shopping list it’s not streamlined at all. I need a refund, the fact you’re charging for this is ridiculous.

**Developer response:** Hi Aceofspades!

The way Meal ID works, if you are set up for 6 meals per day, the app will make your lunch and post lunch the same to save you time. However, if you are don't like what the app built for you, simply press on the grey tab at the far right of the food you want to change and a SWAP menu will appear and you can change it for something else you want. You can also do it for any food. As far as getting 4500 calories, we don't see how this is happening unless you are not choosing the wrong unit of measurement for your weight or height. Hit the toggle switch on the screen to change unit of measurements. Please reach out to us so we explain further in detail if you need more assistance. You can contact us at:

### 1/5 — Waste of Money

*2021-04-02*

I was looking for a food app for nutrition focused meal planning. I purchased 1 month of this app to check it out and was ready to cancel the subscription within the first 10 minutes. This app quickly throws together a meal plan with a “grocery list” but fails to provide any amounts for the ingredients. For example: Overnight Oats- Oats, Banana, Yogurt 4oz.  That’s it folks. No recipe, no ingredient amounts and the grocery list says the exact same thing. This app has the potential to actually be something educational but unfortunately settles for complete lack of effort. Don’t waste your precious time here.

### 1/5 — Need my refund

*2021-02-12, version 2.0*

Don’t like the app it doesn’t work need my refund

### 1/5 — Can’t open

*2021-02-06*

I would have loved to try this app that is getting such high reviews, however, I literally can’t get into, it times out every time ! And I deleted the app, reinstalled, I’ve attempted to open various ways ( google, apple, email) they all time out! It’s so frustrating!

**Developer response:** Sorry for the inconvenience. We were switching to a bigger server while making some new enhancements. Please download the new version and you are set to go.

### 1/5 — No one responding

*2021-02-02*

I downloaded this app and paid for the subscription but the app did not turn out to be what I wanted to use. No big deal, but I reached out to the support through the email that was listed in the terms and conditions document, and no one has responded at all. I made sure I was within the window stared in the terms and I have not heard back about cancelling my subscription and receiving a refund within 7 days. At this point, I don’t even thing anyone is receiving my email. Please respond if you see this.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t plan meals

*2021-02-02*

I put in all of my information, height, weight, etc. and the app makes me input the data over again for each day and won’t save any of the meal plans. Every time I click on the groceries button it says I have no meal plans generated. And you’d think you’d get an idea on when to eat your meals. Should I be eating every two hours or what?

**Developer response:** Sorry for the inconvenience. We were in the middle of a server upgrade to make the app faster. We will be back in a few hours.

### 1/5 — Unhappy

*2021-01-19, version 1.8*

I purchased the 8 dollar plan and I don’t like how it dosent give me options on meals! I mean who’s gonna eat cod for breakfast. An tuna and Cheerios for lunch. Truly would love a refund

### 1/5 — Not impressed

*2021-01-04*

So far with the app I cannot customers in my meals they only have three options as far as meal plans paleo and to others I can’t press any of the meals if I do not want that meal I have to stick with that meal right there so so far I’m not really happy and I spent almost $50 on this app

**Developer response:** Hi Fabes,

Press and hold on the the meal you want to swap and the swap menu will appear.

### 5/5 — Good for busy professionals

*2026-11-04*

I don't have time for complex calorie counting apps. This is quick and let's me get back to work. I like that it doesn't send me annoying notifications every five minutes.

### 5/5 — Motivation is staying high

*2026-11-03*

Seeing the weight go down slowly but surely is such a win. It keeps me accountable even on weekends when I usually mess up. It feels like having a little coach in my pocket all day.

### 5/5 — They finally got it right

*2026-11-02*

My friend downloaded this app 4 years ago and I didn't find it interesting at all until the updated version. I must say this is it!  It has all in one meal prep, exercise journal, health and fitness tracking and there's even an AI coach? The meal prep works pretty well!

### 5/5 — Great for keto beginners

*2026-11-01*

I just started low carb and was totally lost. This gives me ideas on what to eat so I don't end up eating the same chicken breast every single night. The recipes are actually pretty tasty too.

### 5/5 — So great!

*2025-01-09*

I have a lot of food preference and it’s hard for me to find a meal planner that lets me eliminate stuff I am allergic to like eggs, but also has yummy recipes. This one is so great and I LOVE that you can swap ingredients. Great app!

### 5/5 — It’s definitely worth it

*2024-04-11*

This is the first app I see that lets me know what I need to work on to optimize me health. I used to never post attention to my cardio fitness until I got the notice that it needs work. The meal plan seems accurate and I love how I can adjust my macros. I love it!

### 5/5 — 6 months in!

*2024-04-08*

I’m happy with my results so far. I finally developed a healthy eating habit and the waist line keeps coming down. Thank you!

### 5/5 — there was a glitch and they fixed it.

*2021-03-11*

I downloaded it but it only gives me the option to update or exit. Fixed now.

**Developer response:** Sorry about the issue. It was fixed. Please try again.

### 5/5 — Seems Legit!

*2021-02-09, version 2.0*

Thanks for the app. Now I can focus on losing this Holiday weight.

### 5/5 — Meal ID Rocks!

*2021-02-04, version 1.8*

I am grateful for this app. I have been battling hypertension and cholesterol issues for almost 12 years now and my doctor gave me an ultimatum. Eat healthier and lose weight or start planning my first stroke. 90 days later I lost almost 37 pounds! Meal ID helped me bring my hypertension under control and in a few weeks I have a doctors appointment for discussing when I can come off my meds.
