Lamentablemente está pensado para América del norte nada más ### 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 ### 3/5 — Almost *2023-05-14* Would be so much better if it was an audible alarm that let you choose the sounds. ### 2/5 — Overnights *2023-03-13, version 3.7.2* I work overnights. Would be nice to have a 24 hour clock option. ### 3/5 — Almost perfect *2023-03-06* This app is almost exactly what I need. However, the only thing keeping it from a 5 star review for me is the fact that you can’t have fewer than 3 meals per day. My diet only allows me to have 2 meals a day, so I can’t use this app to the fullest. ### 2/5 — It was ok *2022-08-11, version 3.7.2* It made me feel rushed to eat “5 mins to prepare your meal” “Time to eat!!!!” It only gave me the option to make a schedule and check off if I ate breakfast lunch and dinner And there’s was a timer for each which made me feel even more rushed than the notifications But that may be a personal problem 😭 ### 3/5 — It works but needs more functionality *2022-08-02* Decent app but, to make it more useful, please allow us to enter what exactly we will be eating for each reminder, instead of automatically naming reminders with generic terms like “second snack”. If you allow us to call reminders whatever we want (e.g. Eat baby carrots with hummus), this app will be much more useful to everyone. Thanks! ### 3/5 — Seems to have possessed my phone. I can’t delete the app. *2022-02-24* It was great to have until a day ago. For some reason after about a week of using this app. My reminders would come in and constantly pop up over and over again, nonstop. Then it would complete glitch out my iPhone. My phone would flash off and on and I could do nothing with it. When I tried to delete the app after finally being able to navigate through my phone, it glitched out again. The app is still in my phone. Like it has possessed my phone or something. I held down the app clicked remove from phone, clicked delete app, and my phone glitched again. I could not shut my phone down or anything. The app is up to date so I’m not sure what’s going on. I need to find a way to delete it from my phone. ### 2/5 — FIX THE ALARM ISSUE! *2021-09-29* As another user suggested, a meal reminder is useless for busy people if, in addition to a banner it does not ring audibly to alert. Fix this issue! It is not due to phone being on vibrate, it just isn’t alerting at ALL. ### 3/5 — Does the basic job but could do better *2021-09-09, version 3.7.2* you can tick which meals you ate and it will remind you of meals but it should - 1. let us rename the meal names as my dietician gave me a 7 meal plan where there is no snack after dinner but multiple ones before it so I have to ignore the names and map it in my head 2. It should let us see history 3. It should tell us how much %age or freq of times we eat that particular meal and how many we miss. Like for me due to my hectic work schedule I never get time to eat the snack between breakfast and lunch so I should have the view that it is a 0% success rate currently. 4. Can send custom reminders of that particular frequently missed snack time 5. Should allow us to increase number of meals to 7 as most dieticians give 5-7 meal plans ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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??? ### 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 ### 1/5 — A Missed Opportunity *2022-09-27, version 3.7.2* I uninstalled this app immediately after seeing it DOESN’T allow me to add more than 6 meals a day. Like, why on earth would you think everyone must be limited to eating 6 times a day? I’m a bodybuilder and I do up to 16 small meals a day. And it’s not even like there’s a limit because you want to monetize the app for people that use it more professionally because in nowhere it shows the option to buy this feature. How STUPID! I wouldn’t mind paying a few cents for this feature specifically or a few bucks for a good plan etc. Hope you guys get better because this app can be easily transformed into a massive success. ### 1/5 — Horrible Free Version *2022-08-14, version 3.7.2* If you don't want to pay don't get the app. There's not much to do as you can't choose the times you get reminders. ### 1/5 — You can’t edit timing *2022-03-26, version 3.7.2* Really very poor app .. you can’t even edit timings as per your schedule.. ### 1/5 — Want more money *2022-01-08, version 3.7.2* This app doesn’t let you use simple things that would normally be available to one when downloading a app. You have to pay for premium just to edit what time of the day you want to set to eat. Pretty crappy if you ask me. ### 1/5 — Rip off *2021-09-28, version 3.7.2* Can’t even customise meal time without paying $$$ which is a basic function you’d expect with an app like this, not a premium feature ### 1/5 — have to pay to change meal times *2021-07-13* i have issues with eating and was hoping this would be helpful to remind me to eat throughout the day. it’s really messed up that you can’t change the pre decided times, like for breakfast it’s at 8 am and to change it to a later time you need to sign up for premium. there’s no reason bumping that back to 10 am should be something you need to pay for… looks like i’ll be deleting this app immediately and sticking with the iphone alarms at least i can have more say over when i eat. waste of time ### 1/5 — Can’t set my own meal time *2021-01-10, version 3.7.1* Can’t set my own meal times ### 1/5 — it is stupid :( *2020-10-14, version 3.7.1* it sends you notification even if you have already checked that specific meal ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app, Very Encouraging:) *2025-06-24, version 3.7.2* Good reminders that stay encouraging and positive! ### 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. ### 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. ### 5/5 — Thank you *2023-06-17, version 3.7.2* Thank you for creating this app. This helpful for many people, including those who suffer from an anxiety disorder like me. Sometimes, I can’t remember when to eat and this app is really helpful to remind me to get up and make a nice meal! ### 5/5 — The perfect app for someone with eating disorder *2023-04-08, version 3.7.2* This app is so simple , perfect for recovery from ED as it is super helpful with mechanical eating. All the other apps have garbage messages on them about losing weight or keeping track of calories. This app simply reminds you to eat. No hidden agenda. Super safe to use if you struggle with any type of ED! ### 5/5 — Great functionality *2022-06-30, version 3.7.2* I would love to have it on my Apple Watch as well! ### 5/5 — works for what i need it to do *2022-01-06, version 3.7.2* i have trouble forcing myself to eat throughout the day so this is a nice simple reminder for that ### 5/5 — YES. *2021-09-23* 10/10 already and I just downloaded it yesterday. Simple yet effective. ### 5/5 — Perfecto *2021-08-11, version 3.7.2* This app is so easy to use. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
