Love this app
I loved sparkpeople and it was great when they made it into an app! The tabs are hard to find, where and how to log your food diary and I can’t find a upc scanner. But once I figured out how and where to enter my new goals, weight updates, it works really well. I like how it has the ability to give a printable diary, I can easily print it up and show my nutritionist. Overall, it’s better than every paid app that I’ve used and it still holds all the greatness of SparkPeople.

Nutrition Tracker is hard to use if you cook with more than a couple ingredients.
* should allow entering by weight OR volume for all foods
* should allow personal recipes
* should enable barcode scan
Also should allow a weight gain goal.

Glad it’s still available
I do miss the old spark people, there just will never be anything quite as good. But this app is almost just as good and the full site, spark America, is almost there too. I wish they still had the old ticker that moved toward your end goal. It was a strong motivator to watch that move and I don’t know why they won’t bring it back. I also miss all of my old saved recipes and meals and don’t really have the time to input it all again like I used to, but it’s way better than the other weight loss apps out there that just feel so clinical and boring. Just bring back the weight ticker!! That was the best feature and most of the reason why I ever lost weight with the original spark people.

Hhhm
Tried signing up and it keeps telling me it doesn’t recognize me. Of course because I haven’t signed up yet.
Keeps getting better
While staying easy to use, I love all the new features. Makes staying fit fun.
Would give a zero if I could
Couldn’t even get logged in… asking for very personal information…. No thanks
Old fan of sparkpeople. New fan of PeopleOne
I lost a lot of weight using sparkpeople.
After a week or so of tracking my food I realized my fat calories were too high and adjusted my eating.
Over the years some old habits crept in. I want to lose fifteen pounds. I entered my food into the food tracker and am eager to get things started again. So far it looks very similar. I am sure this will work.

Social security to register for health app?!
It’s too bad they got rid of spark people, it really helped me lose weight, I lost 50 lbs with its help of tracking my weight, calories and exercise. Now with this app they ask you for a social security number and I just don’t get why..all I want to do is track my health details. To bad I’ll have to find something else :/

Something New - I Like Change
So far, I am enjoying exploring the app.
I use to use Spark People (SP) for years and was successful in my weight lost. However, I never reached my goal weight - I got bored with SP after the constant “improvements” and didn’t use it as much as I did before.
I would always try to come back but the constant “improvements” just completely change it for me and just the overall community of the app and website.
It was bittersweet to find out it was all coming to an end but most people I interacted with checked out years ago.
That all being said, I am exploring the new app and Spark America. I am feeling more motivated to start a new fresh journey using this app/SparkAmerica…will update how that goes at the end of March 2022.

Can’t use without SS number?!?
I tried to sign in as a new user with my email. The app wouldn’t accept that (even though it worked before as a Spark People email). Then it suggested I try to sign in instead with my social security number. I don’t go around giving out to my social security number—much too risky and not an appropriate request at all.

What Happened? SpearkPeople GUTTED a great app…
I was a happy user of SparkPeople years ago. It was easy, fun, motivational- a WELCH of information. What is this?!? They made it both more difficult to get signed up, AND they stripped away all the great features of the original. This app just seems- naked. Wanting. Sad. Just paid for a yearlong subscription to LifeSum rather than use this depression, unhelpful app. LoseIt!, MyFitnessPal- there are a PLETHORA of apps that TROUNCE this sad excuse for a well ness app. Do yourself a favor: Keep your personal, private info to yourself and look elsewhere for a GOOD app that’s worth your time, effort and trust! Not sure what the endgame here is, but this feels like a betrayal.

Disappointed
I had been with Sparks for many many years and was easily able to sign in. I am no longer able to do so. I’ve had to delete this app a numerous amount of times.
Not impressed
I prefer the old SparkPeople. More interaction with people who are on the same journey as I am.
Really don’t understand why they changed
There’s no back button on the recipes so if you click on another recipe you will literally have to go to the search page and start all over again to look at recipe you were on first. You can’t add the recipes to your food tracker so you have to manually write them down then go in and add each ingredient. I haven’t even gotten that far yet but I’ve heard you can’t save favorites so you will have to do that each time. Awful. Truly awful compared to what it used to be and what it could have been. Such a waste.

Nope
Just tried to create a new account to use this app. They want my SS#. I don’t think so. I was on spark people for many many years. That was a great site. This, I’ll never know…. I’m not giving out my SS# or other information personal to me to just try the app. Nope.
Needs updating
Definitely like the old app better. No back arrows so you have to go back to the drop down menu to move around. Also fitness doesn’t blend with food tracker like the old app.
Wellness scam
Poorly designed simplistic app. It’s only purpose is to sell you quack based wellness concepts. No practical usefulness at all and bad design.
Still disappointed
I am trying this new version of Sparkpeople for the 2nd time. It is still a disappointment. Obviously the developers and owners don’t care what long time users think. They took the best fitness app available and destroyed it.
Old spark people was better
Not impressed at all with this app. No barcode scan your stuff. This may things easy. You can’t put in recipes like you can with other ones. I deleted this one after a couple days very disappointed. Not gonna use until things drastically improve.
Not a fan
Maybe this app is less disappointing if you aren’t one of us being directed to it after many years of using SparkPeople. This is basically what’s left of you stripped everything good out of SparkPeople. Not only is the community gone, but this is a far inferior food tracker, there are much better options available.
