### 2/5 — Lake of information

*2026-05-14*

The app is connected to my Apple Watch, but does not display anything from it?????  Also, there should be a restaurant list to plan meals ahead of time

### 4/5 — Pretty good

*2026-01-10, version 1.1.0*

MyBites is a pretty good app. It seems to have a large food library. I just wish I could change my macros on this app. If you’re a low carb person this may not be the app for you at least in ease of use

### 3/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-09-11, version 1.1.0*

The app is just like I macro and it doesn’t work

### 2/5 — Not great

*2024-05-06*

Most of the items I scanned would not work and can not add recipes.

### 3/5 — Tacks points. Some glitches

*2024-04-23, version 1.1.0*

I am satisfied with the points tracker. However, I have not been able to enter weight updates nor create new foods.

### 4/5 — MyBites

*2024-03-17*

The ability to log the next days bites would be beneficial. A couple of glitches- first even though I am at or below my daily 34 bites it starts taking away from my extra to the point that I have zero after 5 days. 
Second glitch is I selected lbs as measurements but it keeps listing my goals in 
KG: overall I find the app a handy tool and a far better alt than monthly and yearly subscription apps.

### 1/5 — No food database

*2023-08-19, version 1.0.5*

The food search does not work.  Nothing comes up when searching, even for common items like chicken and apple.  Its useless without this.  Complete waste of money.

### 1/5 — Does not work at all

*2023-07-29, version 1.0.5*

Save your money and don’t purchase this app. The search function doesn’t work so how can you add foods without that? I reached out for assistance to see if maybe there’s a reason why but never heard back. This app does not work. Period.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2023-07-06, version 1.0.5*

I can’t get it to even search chicken breast! 
It has totally stressed me out and stress causes weight gain! Not happy so far!

### 1/5 — Waste of $5

*2023-07-06, version 1.0.5*

Food search and barcode are not working.  No response from customer support.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-06-23, version 1.0.5*

I cannot get into the food database to track.  Help

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2023-06-14, version 1.0.5*

Just got this app...typed in eggs nothing...typed in bread, nothing..scanned 15 barcodes...nothing. Not one food comes up.

### 1/5 — Search doesn’t work

*2023-06-06, version 1.0.5*

At all. I type in apple, press search…nothing. Useless product if I can’t log food lol

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2023-06-05, version 1.0.5*

I was looking for an alternative to ww & this looked promising. Unfortunately, I was unable to add any foods. I though basic foods would already be available to track. Could not even add a simple apple. And when I tried to add the info manually, it would not accept it. Do not waste your $

### 1/5 — App horrible

*2023-05-30, version 1.0.5*

It’s does not search any food for you and the scan item does not work want my money back

### 1/5 — Over charged

*2025-12-29, version 1.1.0*

I’ve not used the app yet. They say the app is 4.99 but I was charged 34.99 + 4.99.     False advertising

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work.

*2023-12-28, version 1.0.5*

I was not able to search and add food. Worthless.

### 1/5 — Utter garbage. Do not buy

*2023-11-10, version 1.0.5*

Maybe there’s a glitch but there are no foods or meals. No database of millions. Nothing.  Emailed tech support but no answer yet. I want a refund or the app I paid for

### 1/5 — Does nothing

*2023-11-02, version 1.0.5*

Nothing happens with this app Doesn't scan, doesn't track, doesn't calculate, nothing comes up when I enter a food (I.e., "Apple").  I've tried twice to contact customer support with no response.

### 1/5 — Search for foods

*2023-10-08, version 1.0.5*

I thought there would be a data base of foods to search from, like the weight watchers app. The only thing I see to do is scan a barcode or add a food myself. Should t there be a data base of foods for me to search and choose from?

### 1/5 — Rip off

*2023-09-15, version 1.0.5*

Nothing in this app works! It won’t find any foods and it won’t save any that I try to create. The scanner does nothing. It is completely useless. I cannot track anything at all. What a waste of $5!

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2023-09-06, version 1.0.5*

I can’t get it to pull up any food whether I search for it by name or by barcode. So pretty much doesn’t do anything. I don’t want to have to create a new food for every little thing I eat.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t load

*2023-08-30*

Doesn’t load for database menu. I even tried putting in simple things like cheese, milk bread nothing comes up.

### 1/5 — Waist of money

*2023-08-25, version 1.0.5*

Unless I don’t understand something. Why in the world would anyone want to create the food  nutrition? Who has the time. And when you do it disappears before even hitting the add button. Please humor me. If I am wrong. And tell me how to use this app

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2023-08-22, version 1.0.5*

I thought this would be a good replacement for WW.   You can’t enter even simple foods like an egg to get the calories.   You have to enter everything yourself.    I sent a message to customer support, but I have not heard back from them.
After reading many other reviews that are similar to mine, I think the App Store should remove this item.   It’s not right that this company is still allowed to sell this item when it doesn’t work the way it is supposed to.
I’ve wasted $5.44.

### 5/5 — For Wallet Watchers along with Weight Watchers

*2026-07-23, version 1.1.0*

For Wallet Watchers along with Weight Watchers

### 5/5 — Need updates

*2026-01-20, version 1.1.0*

Need to be able to scan food and just save to food list 

Need to be able to backup the food list you built to like google drive

### 5/5 — Needs to be updated

*2026-01-19, version 1.1.0*

This app is constantly not scanning, letting me track or search!

### 5/5 — Love it

*2025-04-25, version 1.1.0*

Just as good as the Weight Watchers app!

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2024-04-03, version 1.1.0*

I have been looking for a simple app like I used with the old weight programs I was on! So glad my friend lead me to this one!! Here we go!!

### 5/5 — Love this!!!

*2022-06-07, version 1.0.5*

Cheaper than WW, and does pretty much the same. There are differences, but the difference in price allows for it. Winner in my books, and my wallet will definitely agree.

### 5/5 — So far so good

*2022-05-16, version 1.0.5*

I just started using this app and I really like it. Only time will tell if it works well :)

### 5/5 — Fat tracker

*2022-04-18, version 1.0.5*

My 4 year old has a heart condition and needs to be on a low fat diet. No more than 15g a day. This app helps me so much! I can track her snacks and meals and can even create my own meals and track it on the app!

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2022-03-09, version 1.0.5*

Great app! The barcode scanner also works great!

### 5/5 — Round 2

*2021-04-18, version 1.0.5*

I used this app to slim down from 170lbs (heaviest ever) to 135lbs prior to the pandemic. Then, I felt relaxed like I could do it on my own but I’m now at 145lbs so back on the bites train to get back down to 135. This app is wonderful just wish I had better will power even without it.
