It probably works great for younger people who work and eat out a lot and/or eat a lot of convenience foods. For me, it’s just too much food preparation, and it’s just like snacking all day long. It just doesn’t work for me. **Developer response:** Thank you for writing about your experience. We recommend people find the eating rhythm that suits them the best. We are also here to answer all questions, so please do not hesitate to email us. Thank you for your feedback. ### 3/5 — If it was only cheaper... *2022-07-20, version 2.7.57* ...it would get 5 stars. ### 4/5 — Great concept but *2019-01-30* I love this App and seems like a great approach for healthy eating habits but I wonder why I can not add some healthy fat like avocado/olive oil or nuts at the portion part? Also it would be nice to have a choice to add non dairy products when you add drinks like almond or coconut milk? The rest is great! **Developer response:** You should download the update we released this year. How do you like it? ### 2/5 — Great concept but needs tweaks *2018-06-19* I bought the app for the ability to have my meals “judged,” which is a concept I love. But there is no customization and each meal is judged independently without thought to what was eaten the rest of the day. Changes that would raise my rating: -the ability to change the amount of each food group you want to eat -a heart system for the whole day. So for example if I eat a pop tart for breakfast and a cookie for lunch I have no hearts for my day but then if I eat a balanced dinner my day gets a couple hearts. Or if I ate all my carbs for breakfast, all my fruits and veggies for lunch, and then protein and dairy for dinner I would still have full hearts for the day because I ate a balanced healthy day. **Developer response:** Thanks for letting us know about your experience. It's highly appreciated and considered in our development. We have an ambitious goal to teach people permanent balance. It is a big goal and we work hard to get our message out there. We try to balance between people's needs and our nutrition know-how. How to help people to get the big picture right with an easy-to-use app? It's not a simple task but we do our best. We still have lot of work to do and that why it is important to hear from you. Please send us an email to have a chat with us. We want to understand your needs better. Talk to you soon. ### 2/5 — Not so easy *2017-08-31* It's not very easy to use. Also, you can't determine on your own what is "good" or balanced. So if you're eating paleo style, it's not good enough. Because their are no grains. **Developer response:** Hi. Good to hear from you. We try to emphasize that we teach permanent balance with our concept. We take all feedback very seriously and hope to react in the future. We do our best to improve our communication and concept in general. Thank you. ### 3/5 — Basically a photo food diary *2016-09-26* As far as meal guidence, there isn't any. All you do is take photos of your food, slide around a pie chart and call it a day. No guidence, no "coaching", nothing. ### 4/5 — Good so far *2016-09-18* I've only just started using it but it has certainly made me more aware of my food choices and helped increase my mindfulness about eating. Only think I find weird is that tea and coffee are not drink options. As a big tea drinker, I find this odd. Also the portion balance is a bit glitchy - sometimes defaults to 0 hearts which is not accurate for the input settings. For the price, it would be nice if these could be fixed. ### 5/5 — Super helpful to keep me on track! *2016-07-19* This app is easy to use and has been very helpful to me on my journey to a healthy lifestyle. I am long time yoyo dieter so it's really important for me to finally eat regularly and to focus on eating a Balanced diet. This app helps me balance every meal so I get the proper nutrition. The more balanced my meal is, the more hearts I get. At the end of the week I can look at the board with all the hearts I've earned and that really motivates me to make better choices and to keep it up for the long run. Loving it :) ### 4/5 — great and fun replacement for my food diary *2016-07-13* I just started using this app couple days ago and I really like it. It gives me reminders when it's time to have a snack or a meal and that is really helpful with my busy work schedule! I am in a lot better mood when I don't forget to eat snacks :) ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — This app is ineffective at best. *2025-01-27* It’s a waste of space. ### 1/5 — Unsubscribe Button Difficult to Find *2024-03-04* It shouldn’t feel like I’m jumping through multiple hoops to be able to unsubscribe from the app. Be warned. **Developer response:** You can go to your phone's settings app to manage your subscriptions. Tap your name. Tap Subscriptions. Manage subscriptions. That is helpful to know regarding all apps, not just ours. I hope you found it useful. You can always contact us, and we are here to help. ### 1/5 — Something’s changed… *2022-01-15* This app was great when I first used it a few years back. Everything worked just fine. This time, when I paid for the premium version the app got super buggy and didn’t recognize I made a purchase. Links didn’t work, good pics didn’t save, and the app randomly closed out on me. I submitted a refund request to Apple as it’s just really bad. Hopefully the kinks and bugs get worked out soon! **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We'd love to hear from you. I hope you understand that we do not want any bugs in our app. Sometimes the reason could be iOS version (like iOS 15.0.1.), sometimes something inside our app. We'd need your help in sorting this out. Could you please send us email using the give feedback tap on the setting's page of the app? We'd love to chat with us about all this. Looking forward to hearing from you. P.S. Have you tried the new updates we have launched this spring? ### 1/5 — I cant use my subscription !!! *2021-08-30* I dont now what is it. I cannot use my subscription. You ask me pay one more time :( **Developer response:** Thank you for sending a message. Please use the "Restore purchase button" on the settings page to activate an active subscription.  Any challenges with that please use the "Give feedback -tap" on the settings page of the app to get in touch with us. Let us know how it goes. ### 1/5 — Downloaded for trial today. Is not what I was looking for. Trying to delete so no charges appear. *2021-01-28* Not what I was looking. Downloaded today, trying to cancel trial subscription NOW. **Developer response:** The Free Trial we offer is totally free. Nothing is charged. You do not need to cancel anything. If you bought a subscription, you can manage your subscriptions at your iTunes-account. You can find the right spot when you go to the App Store; on the App Store Today-page, upper right corner, there is the round button. Press that. There you'll see a title called subscriptions. There you can manage your subscriptions. Hope this helps. ### 1/5 — Don’t be fooled *2020-02-09* Can’t use the AP at all. Every command requires you to purchase a subscription. **Developer response:** We are soon releasing an update with better information about the use of the app. You can try it for free, but then you have to make the decision if you want to join the 4-week coaching or not, which is a one-time payment. We do have a free app too, the See How You Eat Food Diary. Maybe that would be something for you? ### 1/5 — Not what I was expecting *2019-02-07, version 2.4.12* This app sucks taking pictures of your meals is not going to help - also it’s a subscription - monthly or yearly ### 1/5 — Don’t bother purchasing! I wish I hadn’t! *2019-02-05, version 2.4.12* Awful don’t purchase! I was so disappointed! ### 1/5 — Useless *2017-12-28, version 2.4.5* If you've got SHYE, this version is useless and not really accurate. You have to use this one OR SHYE but not both since they are not integrated, you'll have to fill your diary twice. Difficult to estimate the portion of different food family, can't include fat, nuts ect. App released in 2013 and only one review, should have guessed it was not a great value... ### 1/5 — Average *2016-10-19* Pretty pricey and disappointing app ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app, has helped me so much! *2023-11-29, version 2.7.80* This coaching version of the See How You Eat app is well worth it. It’s a simple concept, eat more vegetables, a little protein and quality whole grains. The scoring system is encouraging (not damning like other apps!) It’s really easy to follow, and great to see what I’ve have eaten in the past to understand the trends in my health and how I feel. As someone with a history of disordered eating this app is perfect to help me be more mindful of what I’m eating without slipping into obsessive calorie counting and food restriction. It’s sensible, positive and gives me a touch point of control which I will be using for years I imagine. Improvements? Well as fan of data I’d like to be able to see a round up of my comments (or maybe just icons) against the months scoring, so I can see how my eating has affected my health, mood etc. I’d also like to be able go further back through the months of scoring to see my progress. Any other ideas I’ll be sure to contact Mia and the team who personally got back to me when I had a question last time! ### 5/5 — Thank you. *2023-03-21, version 2.7.61* Thank you to the kind ladies who developed this app. It is the best one I have ever downloaded and encourages and guides towards sensible, organised, life-changing balance. ### 5/5 — Found the perfect balance!! *2022-01-02, version 2.7.34* I'm really enjoying this app. The team, tips and videos are great. I purchased a 6mth package and price was very accessible. I appreciate the concept of Seing what I'm eating and before taking the picture, I think twice if it is balanced... If not, I try to make it as balanced as possible, even if not always perfect. I love that you can track good fats and water also. The videos in the app are great, not too long and very informative. The 80/20 book is very good also. Easy to read and understand. Great companion. Thanks for this cool app and concept that fits more with my life goal (eating better, exercise regularly, sleep enough) of being more healthy long-term. ### 5/5 — Fabulous app *2021-08-28, version 2.7.19* Really enjoying the SHYE coach app. It’s so easy to use, take a quick photo, add notes and monitor your eating each day. ### 5/5 — Syl *2021-02-11, version 2.7.10* This app really deserves five stars!!! Well thought out and a great concept for developing balance in eating. I’d love to see a ‘sync’ function in this as I tend to use my phone and other Apple devices as a whole and it’s a pity that this is only on my phone - HOWEVER...don’t be deterred by that!!! If you’re committed to learning about your eating and want some nutrition guidance, this this is a worthwhile app😀👍🏻 ### 5/5 — App based off both the Idaho Plate method and the 80/20 method. *2020-07-30* Finally a nutrition app that helps in a relaxed manageable way. It’s simply designed and easy to use. Gently teaches by plate method; 1/2 plate vegetable, 1/4 plate protein, 1/4 plate grain. There is a picture reminder to add a little healthy fat, and a drink selection. No calories are counted, so using smaller plates helps. There is also room for indulging in treats in moderation with the 80/20 method. No pressure or stress to make a calorie count. I could use this app long term without the anxiety and pressure that diets create. ### 5/5 — Beautiful System to Improve Eating & Health Habits *2020-07-27* I really enjoy using this app 6+ times a day! It looks nice and is easy to use - I can track many, many things in a fun, visual way: meal photos, water, exercise, mood, portions, hunger level. I had developed some bad eating habits and this method really helped me turn things around in a gentle way. (I’m beginning week 3) In addition to being a great tracker, the lessons (videos, daily tips, etc) are good - The focus is on long term health and balance vs. a quick fix diet, which we all know doesn’t work long term. I can see myself sticking with this app for a long time - so easy to snap a quick photo, assess my meal/snack and make better choices if needed. The biggest change is I’m actually eating more and feel much better (and losing at a healthy pace). Really happy to have found this app - Thanks! ❤️ (and....I love earning hearts everyday 💚💙💚💜💚❤️💚 😉) ### 5/5 — Great App *2018-01-26* This app helps me so much. I am done dieting and need to learn how to eat healthy on my own, and how I can do that for the rest of my life. This app has been very helpful in this process. **Developer response:** We are happy to hear that you have understood the benefits of our concept. Thank you for your lovely feedback. ### 5/5 — Just fantastic *2017-03-23, version 2.4.4* I think this app is perfect for people who really want to improve their eating habits and their health. We can all easily forget about the odd cookie, eating a few leftover chips from your kid's plate or a bottle of wine at the weekend, but if you truly want to start making changes, this is a great way to do it. It has things like seeing all your daily meals at glance and the meal reminders, but it also has lots of really easy to use assessments to track your progress. My absolute favourite bit in the coach app is the portion assessment and getting hearts for my meals. The number and colour of the hearts tell me how balanced my meals are. For a one-off payment of £7.99, this app is the best tiny investment I've made in my health for a long time ### 5/5 — Finally an app without calorie counting *2016-07-24* Finally an app which is focused on eating the right foods instead of counting calories. I've been down that road many times and counting calories wouldn't get me any permanent results. With this app I've learned a whole bunch about a balanced diet and now I understand why calorie counting never worked for me to maintain my weight loss. 80/20 score is the best! It's super easy and quick to use. I definitely recommend the app if you're having a hard time losing weight and maintaining a healthy weight. I hope the next update will have more awesome tips!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
