### 5/5 — Great app, Very Encouraging:)

*2025-06-24, version 3.7.2*

Good reminders that stay encouraging and positive!

### 1/5 — Only 6 meals a day limit?

*2025-05-21, version 3.7.2*

I do gym I have 11 meals a day. Like shake, then after 30-45 mins eggs, then fruits, lunch, banana, bread and peanut butter, etc.

YOUR APP HAS LIMIT OF 6 MEALS A DAY. Why???

### 2/5 — Faltan horas del día

*2025-04-02, version 3.7.2*

Está muy acotado el tiempo en el que te levantas y te dormís. Lamentablemente está pensado para América del norte nada más

### 5/5 — perfect app for me!

*2024-11-29*

great app and no issues! i was recently diagnosed with dysautonomia and my doctor told me to snack regularly. this app reminds me to do that. i can set 6 reminders to snack that also give a heads up 5 minutes before. i can’t super accurately change the time of the snacks but it’s fine cause i can change it a little by adjusting the bedtime and wake up time. overall great app!

### 5/5 — ADHD life saver

*2024-11-16, version 3.7.2*

This app is helping me loads, with remembering to eat and drink, and it reminds you ahead of meals at well as at the time so reduces the risk of forgetting! 
I still forget sometimes but loads better than before using that’s app.

### 3/5 — Acceptable

*2024-04-14, version 3.7.2*

From my point of view, it is a good app to remind you of all the meals of the day. However, it should correct some problems such as the notifications that arrives on your cell phone, it doesn’t ring and you don’t know what time you have to eat. Anyways, it is a good app if you want to eat in the correct moment.

### 4/5 — I like it !!

*2024-04-14, version 3.7.2*

I really liked this app, it reminds me to have breakfast, also to having the other meals, I can add snacks too and is easy to use, but I do not like not being able to change the meal time for free, that's really annoying.

### 3/5 — Not great

*2024-03-24, version 3.7.2*

Eat Wise is a lot better you tap to confirm you’ve eaten then it measures time to next meal. I paid 99c already for this but won’t use it

### 5/5 — Really enjoying this app

*2024-01-05*

As a person who fails to set a meal plan for her day, my food intake is irregular, inconsistent, and I end up eating a handful of random foods and call it a “balanced meal” . Because of this, I get energy spikes and drops and I am gaining unhealthy weight. 

With this App, I’ve actually written in next to the meal category , what I should be eating :

BREAKFAST- Oats w protein
1st SNACK - protein with fiber 
LUNCH - protein with greens and vegs

This way , when the reminders pop up it is specific instruction on what I need to consume.

I would recommend this app for anyone who would like organization and structure to their meals.

### 1/5 — Basic basic basic

*2023-08-19, version 3.7.2*

Basic app, can’t customise without paying - and can’t do anything without customising- clearly a money making scheme
