### 5/5 — Making food journaling fun and cute!

*2026-05-27*

I’ve been using Napkin Math pretty early on and it’s been fun documenting my food, sharing with friends and learning more about nutrition! I’ve used other apps in the past, but this app makes it fun by transforming your pics into cute  cards and provides a ton of context to your nutrition across days, weeks or months. I also love how they have a chat feature that can help you talk through anything related to your food logs, making it super easy to discover data/trends on what you’ve been eating. Obviously it’s a new app and is still growing, but the devs are super responsive and are opened to all sorts of feedback! I’m definitely sticking around

**Developer response:** Thanks for your review and glad you’re enjoying it so far! 😊 we’ll keep building with you!

### 5/5 — cutest lil food diary

*2026-05-26*

this app has been giving me so much joy from the daily mundane! being able to track all the new coffee shops i try and also auto tracking my macros has been both super functional and a source of delight

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for the feedback! 😊

### 5/5 — Suuuuuper cute food journaling!

*2026-05-26*

Absolutely loving this app for food journaling, it has the coolest way of showing off the food I’ve logged where it sort of pixelizes all your food pics. It makes it sooo aesthetic, I love flexing my weekly recaps to my friends. Also love that I can see what my friends have been eating and poke fun at them for it. This app is dope!

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! :D

### 5/5 — food journaling

*2026-05-23*

this is sooo fun it’s like a food diary that you can use as a social media, calorie counter, and journal with so many different fun features and options for how you want to use it. only bug that i have encountered is the app not loading when i want to change the time of food entry, but not a big deal at all

**Developer response:** ohh I think that change time blanking out was a bug with how we handed dark mode! should be fixed in the newest app version, if you give it a try!

### 5/5 — love this

*2026-05-23*

lovely

**Developer response:** thank you! 😄

### 5/5 — Yay! An app that is actually about how you feel!!

*2026-05-21*

I love that this app does push counting calories. As some one who has enough years taken by disordered eating, this app makes it easy for me to keep track of food and how it makes me feel without falling into bad habits. 

Just 1 bugs I have encountered. 
The camera in the app hasn’t worked for me and I have to take a picture using my own camera app then upload it in the app.

**Developer response:** doesn’t* push counting calories? 🙂

That means a lot to us to hear, thank you! It’s really a goal we have with Napkin Math.

The in-app camera should be better in the latest update, please give it a try and let us know :) would love to know any other bugs you’ve encountered, please let us know at support@napkinmath.club !

### 1/5 — AI Slop

*2026-06-17*

Installed it from an Instagram ad, but past setup it turns out to be AI garbage… the buttons don’t even fit on your screen

**Developer response:** Hey, I hope we can make the app better for you! We’re moving quickly and balancing core/new features vs. polish so sometimes things like button placement aren’t quite there yet.

What did you come in looking for from Napkin Math and how can we help you get that? support@napkinmath.club we’re all ears :)

### 1/5 — Laggy and bad

*2026-06-06, version 1.0.16*

Waste of time

### 1/5 — Was interested until I saw ai coach

*2026-05-30, version 1.0.16*

I just want to do a food diary I don’t want some ai slocking hallucination food science at me

### 1/5 — Is this a scam

*2026-05-20*

Every time I start using the app and enter all my information it immediately restarts

**Developer response:** Ah, that sounds frustrating! :( we can debug further over email or discord — can you share more details at support@napkinmath.club or napkinmath.club/discord?

We’ll make sure to get you set up and going! :)

### 2/5 — Love the Concept, Hate the AI

*2026-06-10*

It's really difficult to work around the information that is added via AI, if the app decides it knows what food I'm eating, there's almost no way to fully correct it. I really wish we could fine-tune which AI tools are actively being used.

**Developer response:** Thanks for sharing a review! We're working on improving the correction flow and would love to understand your workflow better. Can you share more details to support@napkinmath.club or napkinmath.club/discord?

Your feedback helps us improve as we're in early alpha :)

### 2/5 — Good idea but crashes

*2026-05-21*

Love the idea and was excited to start using but it crashes whenever I open it :(

**Developer response:** Thanks for reporting the issue, we caught it and pushed an update! Can you try launching the app again to see if it’s fixed?

If not please reach out at support@napkinmath.club and we’ll help get things sorted :)

### 4/5 — So cute

*2026-06-15*

So adorable, creative but too many errors😭😭i cant even click the buttons

**Developer response:** Oh no, sorry to hear! The latest app version 1.0.18 has some bug fixes; please let us know if things are working better. Otherwise can you contact us at support@napkinmath.club?

### 4/5 — great app

*2026-06-02*

love the app so far but been having a problem with the auto add, it keeps saying no photos found when i just took the photo. love the cut out look but doesn’t happen when uploading photos •︵• 

super cute tho and looking forward to logging more!

**Developer response:** Hi there, thanks so much for the review!

This might be due to photo permissions, which we can make clearer! If you email us at support@napkinmath.club or message at napkinmath.club/discord we can figure out your specific settings and help set things up perfectly :)

### 5/5 — simple to use and customizable

*2026-07-05*

I love that there’s so much variety with what goals you can set, definitely good for people who aren’t just trying to lose weight or max out on protein. Also one of the only times where I have felt like AI actually added to the experience (by analyzing your food pictures and giving you really good nutrition estimates). Otherwise, you don’t really need to talk to a chatbot at all. Very cute layout and made me excited to log my food !

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for the review; glad you’re enjoying the app! :D

### 5/5 — So cute

*2026-06-29*

I haven’t run through all the possibilities that this app has had to offer yet, but I can go ahead and vouch that it is an adorable way of keeping track of the food you eat. A very easy process of choosing a meal each day, taking a picture, and the app does the work on separating the main dish from the background. Once you have done it enough days, seeing the grand collage of what I’ve had the past month I considered to be very entertaining and a great way of being mindful of what I have over the next few days. Definitely saves me from having a bunch of photos in my camera roll!

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review, so glad you’re enjoying it!! 😊

### 5/5 — My Dream Food Tracking App

*2026-06-24*

This app has all the features that I’ve wanted in a food tracking app plus social aspects. I was previously using chatgpt to estimate my macros and calories, but this app helps organizes that data while still having the ease of AI. I like the timeline view of each day, setting goals, and being able to see what my friends are having. There are a few bugs like some pages will crash the app, but the app is relatively new so I’m sure the developers are working on it.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review, so glad you’re enjoying it!

Ah yes, we are working on the bugs 😅 any particular ones standing out? You can reach us at support@napkinmath.club or napkinmath.club/discord with a quick note or screenshot

### 5/5 — Food and memories

*2026-06-10*

This is a fun way to remember meals. Love that I can understand and connect with the food I eat in a way that feels healthy

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for the review! Glad to hear 😊

### 5/5 — Way more interesting way to food log

*2026-06-10*

Food logging and symptom tracking is super annoying and hard to be consistent with but Napkin Math makes it very appealing visually and helps you customize goals (so only track what you care about instead of defaults like with MyFitnessPal). I also really like the “friends” and the global feed element- it’s great to have a community in this and it not be about accountability but more about helpful sharing and encouragement by sharing meal ideas.

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for the review! We're always looking to improve symptom tracking, goals, and social so if you have feedback on what's particularly fun or frustrating we'd love to know :) support@napkinmath.club is all ears!

### 5/5 — So much fun!

*2026-06-08*

Other apps require so much work to log a meal, but this app makes it fun and easy!! I also like the social aspect, it’s fun to see what my friends are eating!

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for the review! :)

### 5/5 — beautiful and fun!

*2026-06-08*

Love this app, I don’t normally track food but it’s so fun to see what my friends are eating :) and you can tell the creators really put their heart into this

**Developer response:** Thanks for sharing! it's true :')

### 5/5 — Really good app

*2026-06-08*

I set my action button to the log photo action in this app!! It makes it easy to log my meals

**Developer response:** Glad you're finding the shortcut useful!

### 5/5 — Love Napkin Math

Love the cute calendars and seeing what my friends are eating!

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for the review! :)

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2026-05-28*

This app is truly such a fun app. It motivates me to log my food because of its cute interface and ease of using it and I love the social factor to it as well. It’s helping me identify some patterns in my eating which is helpful! 🙌

**Developer response:** Glad you're enjoying, and thanks for the review! 😊
