It takes too much of my time to keep up with documenting my meals, activities, water consumption, exercise. ### 2/5 — Beware *2026-05-24, version 10.13* The app is ok although not exactly a seamless experience for logging. BEWARE of automatic charges. Apple immediately charge me $19.99. Apparently I had a trial before although I don’t remember this and find no evidence in my records. The company never responded to my inquiry. And when this trial was done I was charged without any notification that the trial was coming to an end. When I contacted the company they told me to take it up with Apple. Ok ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-04-20, version 10.13* Easy to use- keeps me on track ### 5/5 — Like a Real Life Coach *2026-04-17* AI coach has helped me stay on course to meet my optimal weight loss goal! Any time I veer off my plan, this App helps me quickly get back to where I started. ### 5/5 — Calories *2026-04-16, version 10.11* I love this app no more guessing what I eat and how many calories it has helps me say in the calorie deficit ### 5/5 — One stop shop *2026-04-10, version 10.11* This is an amazing app and is the only one that I have ever found to be easy to stick to. I love the nutrient/vitamin tracking, how I can put my shopping list in it (even non food items). It has widgets so I don’t have to go in the app to know where I stand for the day. It really does make tracking so incredibly easy. Personally, I feel like it subtly encourages me to make good choices without it telling me what to do. Totally worth the subscription. Highly recommend! ### 5/5 — AI Coach bug fixed! *2026-03-31, version 10.11* After just a few days after I posted the bug, it was fixed! Great response!!! ### 3/5 — Click on ask coach it closes out *2026-03-29, version 10.11* No reason to pay for this ### 5/5 — Crash *2026-03-28, version 10.11* It’s a great app and helped me lose weight but recently it crashes when I try to ask the AI coach ### 5/5 — A great help to me! *2026-03-22, version 10.8* I love this app! I can easily keep track of my food & health and not be pestered by advertising. ### 5/5 — It works if you work it *2026-03-18, version 10.7* Consistency is key I love the coach feature and being able to get healthy suggestions. Been six months and I’m already almost down 50lb! ### 4/5 — So good *2026-03-14, version 10.7* It keeping me on track ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Paid for the app only to have to also pay for a subscription *2026-08-11, version 10.28* Honestly, I thought I got the paid version of this app. Turns out I paid 3.99 just to access the app- costs even more for a subscription. My question is, why does the app cost 3.99 if you are going to push the subscription every time I try to navigate the app? ### 1/5 — Overwhelming *2026-07-29, version 10.27* Terrible app no way to log food if you forgot to take a photo. Very confusing to navigate. ### 1/5 — Not free *2026-07-13, version 10.23* This app is not free. There is a 7 day free trial. ### 1/5 — Not Free *2026-07-12, version 10.23* Not a free app just move on to something else. No option for a free version after a long set up. ### 1/5 — Frustrating *2026-06-03* Such a stupid app! Will give you 10 step login which will take around 15 min and then ask for back details coz surprise ..after all this, you can use the app just for 3 days! WTF! Say that before hand so that I won’t even fill all my info! **Developer response:** We're sorry to hear you had a frustrating experience. PlateAI is a Premium service and requires a subscription after the trial period. The free trial lasts 7 days, and the subscription terms are displayed during the sign-up process before any purchase is completed. If you're looking for a free food and calorie tracking app, you may want to try MyNetDiary, which offers a robust free version with many tracking features available without a subscription. 💚 ### 1/5 — Calorie Tracker *2026-05-26, version 10.13* If you believe in the calories in-calories out theory of weight management this app is for you. Its philosophy seems to be that if only you had better guidance and coaching around how many calories you’re consuming you would lose weight (the blame the victim model). As a nutritionist, I don’t use that model because it has been proven to fail again and again for sustainable weight loss. I would never recommend this app. ### 1/5 — Unable to sign up/in *2026-04-15, version 10.11* Thought I signed up for it. Paid for subscription. Now can sign up or sign in ### 1/5 — App shuts down *2026-03-26, version 10.9* When you tap on "Ask AI Coach," the App just closes. I have the update, from yesterday, it has bugs! And, I just signed up for a Subscription! Please help! ### 1/5 — Glitchy *2026-03-04, version 10.7* I haves logged my meals for the day twice now and then they disappear hours later. Waste of time. ### 1/5 — Does not support family sharing *2026-02-17, version 10.5* False advertising. Does not support family sharing. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Super helpful!! *2026-08-09, version 10.28* Love this app! Easy to use, doesn’t annoy you with constant reminders, and is SO helpful when learning to get healthy! ### 5/5 — Updated - consistent logging helps losing weight *2026-07-26, version 10.27* Lost 18 lbs since the beginning of the year. This app helped tracking my snacking habits and eating too much. With moderate exercise and tracking my intake, I hope to get to my goal by the end of this year. ### 5/5 — Easy to Navigate *2026-07-24, version 10.27* I’ve enjoyed the app prior to the update and found it to be the same but more tailored. I’m very pleased with the ease of use adding photos and keeping track of protein. Nicely done!! ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-07-23, version 10.27* More than expected ### 5/5 — Love App *2026-07-23, version 10.27* Just wish you can use decimal to record weight ### 5/5 — Great App! *2026-06-18, version 10.20* So easy to use. Has kept me on track and lost 24 pounds in 12 weeks. ### 5/5 — Loving it *2026-06-07, version 10.19* This app has been so easy to use and it’s very motivating and I love all the data. That has been super helpful. ### 5/5 — Super helpful!! *2026-06-05, version 10.18* Love this app! Easy to use, doesn’t annoy you with constant reminders, and is SO helpful when learning to get healthy! ### 5/5 — Great FitBit replacement *2026-05-31, version 10.13* Didn’t like the new Google interface for my FitBit. Wanted a new one that did picture calorie estimates. This is working great! ### 5/5 — Excellent App *2026-05-04, version 10.13* Great easy to use app, very informative. Recommend to all. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
