### 5/5 — Customer feedback

*2026-09-02, version 26.35.0*

It’s not often that developers listen to feedback. The calorie counter display was changed back thank goodness that arch was horrible

### 3/5 — Bring Back the Exercise Calories within Diary

*2026-09-02, version 26.35.0*

I miss being able to quickly check calories consume vs calories exercised at the top of the diary. Why would they take that away???

I’ve been using this for 10 years and I’m so disappointed in this update. It’s clunky. It wastes my time. Too many extra clicks for things that used to be 1-click wonders.

I’m in SaaS and whoever approved this update didn’t have customers in mind. I will be looking for a new app unfortunately.

### 1/5 — Deleted my meals

*2026-09-02, version 26.35.0*

I deleted the app a while back because it wasn’t helpful to me. My boyfriend convinced me to add it again yesterday so I went through and added 2 days of calories, paired it with my health app for fitness information, and put in an accurate weight (I’d been keeping track on different apps). When I woke up this morning all of the data was erased and it only had information from before I deleted it. So obviously, I’m deleting it again. Happy for the people who like it though

### 1/5 — Paid version not worth it

*2026-09-02, version 26.35.0*

Super frustrated. I got the paid version and most of the functions don’t work. The scan barcode takes forever, you can’t upload recipes from pictures only specific websites, and the meal pictures are extremely inaccurate. Also infuriating that you cannot edit recipes or even see what’s in them once they are created. I wish there were a better alternative because this app is so not user friendly. For something that’s been around for so long, you would think it would work better

### 4/5 — Helpful, with caveats

*2026-09-02, version 26.35.0*

The app is very good for tracking what you eat and breaking down categories, ie, fat, carbs, etc. The recipes are actually pretty good! Room for improvement: exercise changes your calories remaining, but it does not change the goal. So it makes it look like you went way over your calorie goal if you hit the right target for exercise. If you do something strenuous and don’t adjust, you will be underfueled and when you look back at weekly totals, it makes it look like you’re way off. Not what I expect for the paid version. Also would be good to be able to search saved recipes. Their bot says you can, but the instructions don’t work. (Or I’m not understanding instructions.) Thus the 4 star instead of five for an $80 app.

### 5/5 — Awesome App!

*2026-09-02, version 26.35.0*

This app has it all! Track food, can barcode to add food easily.  Food database is huge and always finds a match. 1 glitch is that it does not track exercise minutes or calories burned correctly. But I must buy and premium or even better!

### 1/5 — New update

*2026-09-01, version 26.35.0*

Sucks. Contact me to know more I dont want to spend 10 min writing a review. Its too long. Too many bad things. Old version 100x better

### 5/5 — Buena

*2026-09-01, version 26.35.0*

Llevo el control de mis caloria y macros sin pasarme

### 2/5 — don’t use the glp-1 feature…..

*2026-09-01, version 26.35.0*

The glp-1 entry feature is broken and will crash the app.  It will then crash instantly every time you try to open it. The only solution is to delete and reinstall the app. Even after reinstalling, if you try to use the glp-1 entry feature again, you will be right back to crashes.  So my advice is to avoid the feature completely unless you enjoy reinstalling apps over and over again.

### 1/5 — Warning/Greed

*2026-09-01, version 26.35.0*

I’ve used this app FOR YEARS, from my teens well into adulthood, and every year and every update it’s more and more paywalls. Paywalls for what used to be free features of the app. 

I still remember when you could insert your own macros of a food that wasn’t logged, and I still remember when you  could dial in your macros and calories numbers without the need of a slider and percentages. This is app is a shadow of its former self in every aspect. 

If you enjoy this app how it is now, DO NOT UPDATE IT. This app will most likely be unusable in the next 3 years or so. Solely because most features wont be accessible without dishing them some money.
