Used to be good, now I would highly avoid.

For 2 years this has been a great, free way for me to track my calories, now it’s awful. The past 3 updates have been terrible. They continue making the app harder and harder to use unless you pay. Like why can I not put in a half a serving of McDonald’s fries anymore. Why does that calculator thing even pop up. Go back to the old way where there is whole numbers and then qtr numbers for specific serving size. Quit updating the app yall clearly don’t know what you’re doing. Let me know when the app goes back to normal, for now I’ll have to find another app. Pitiful

Scam

Another one of these garbage apps which get you to do a 10 minute survey to make you attached, then try to make you sign up to a subscription. Don’t waste your time.

Subscription charge

I enjoy the free version of this app very much. However, every time you open the app, it offers you to subscribe to their premium version. Today I accidentally subscribed to the premium version when I opened the app and was charged to my Apple account. I attempted to reach their customer service, but it was very difficult. I would like a refund for this accidental charge so I can continue enjoying this app.

Lies

They make you go through so many questions that start to make you think “wow this app really cares about me” and then when u finally finished they hit you with a “get your personal plan today for ONLY 10.99 a week😊” seriously apps like this need to stop…don’t waste your time

Inaccurate

Used to be great, but recent updates have made it too much trouble to accurately log servings. Some foods also have inaccurate micros. Impossible to accurately log water. Scanning barcodes is the only benefit for this app over others.

Amazing

I’ve been Using this app for years no complaints + scan barcodes on the free plan nice asf

fraudulent & a scam

upon opening the app, it advertised a free trial period. I signed up for the free trial and it immediately charged me for a full year. After reaching out to Apple they told me that they could not refund me, and I've reached out to the developer multiple times with no response. I even wrote a review and they responded to it asking me to email them and said that they would give me a full refund. I have reached out to them three times since then and I still have not received a response.

Upgrade is a downgrade

This app was perfect, why’d you change it? I don’t want to see how many calories are left, I want to see the calories I’ve consumed. It’s harder to find things now and I can’t find a way to change my daily intake. It also doesn’t let me save kg as the default for weight.

New update SUCKS

I LOVED this app it was perfect but whoever decided on the newest format with the latest update made a huge mistake… so terrible now which is a shame as this was the ultimate tracking app and now I’m having to look for a new one

Last update has has fully messed meal tracking up

You can no longer see how many cals you've taken in.
Before this update, I was under the cal recommendation on all days. After the update, suddenly it's just excess kj every where. Makes no sense.
This app used to be simple and effective. Who told you complicating things was a good idea?? K.I.S.S!!

New update

This app was my go to for calorie tracking for years, I’m not sure who decided to do the most recent update but it’s a disaster. No longer easy to use and it doesn’t even convert the kj to calories. Food is hard to find and it is laggy. Also after you select which food you’ve eaten it’s annoying to select the quantity eaten. Biggest downfall of an app.

Shady sign up process

When I tried to sign up, the app offered me a “free trial” before the annual membership charge. I selected this option to try out the app. Then I immediately got charged the entire yearly subscription cost and did not receive a trial period at all. Would give 0 stars if I could.

Garbage

It’s been a while since I’ve used this pathetic app and it’s safe to say that I’m beyond disappointed with their new updates. In the older version, it was so much easier to log your food quantities and change between grams to oz. But now, they’ve made it a pain in the back to effectively log your food without having to pay. I really don’t understand why they chose to change something that already worked fine. It’s useless now.

No free trial!

You have it printed that I’d get a free trial but you charged my card full price at the same time! There was no free trial!! This is dishonest and unethical!!!

fraudulent and a scam

it said i was going to get a free trial but i was charged for a full year immediately, and then my claim was denied twice

fix the app

the new update is terrible, i’ve been using this app since i started lifting (roughly 4-5years ago) it was always my go to and i told a lot of people to use it the new update is honestly just terrible. terrible.

please fix app

i loved this app because it was basic and simple, now you have to click ten different sections to track correctly. also we aren’t able to track by grams anymore for most stuff?? that’s so weird bro omg i’ve been using this for like 4 years now and how basic it was, was what made it such a good app.

New update

New update is absolutely awful, can no longer log it in Grams?? 🤣 deleted straight away.

awful

Dangerous

This app recommended me to have 4866 kj a day ( I’m a woman, 21 and have a somewhat sedentary life) this is below what I should be taking even in a deficit. Not in a deficit I should be taking in 8000-9000kj a day and in a deficit should be -1500 kj to -2000 kj.
This is irresponsible and dangerous. !!!!!
