### 5/5 — Love Marleys mission

*2021-10-06, version 1.0.3*

This app is awesome!!

### 1/5 — No nutritional knowledge

*2020-09-18, version 1.0.3*

Better to use one of the plant based drs diet than this app with someone that has no national knowledge. Or FOK, Dr Greger, Dr Essy.  Plenty of plans

### 5/5 — Longevity

*2020-03-10*

I love how easy the app is to follow! I went to the store with such ease & calmness over what I was going to get because of the grocery list option it made it so easy on me usually I get anxiety over shopping! The recipes  look so elegant & appear to be restaurant quality & when you go to them theirs a video of Marley showing us how to make it & I love that the over all experience feels like we are literally in the kitchen together & making our food together. His energy is infectious & it’s so encouraging & uplifting & helps you not feel so alone if your like me & you are transitioned this into a long term lifestyle ✊🏼💙🙌🏼🙏🏼

### 5/5 — The answer i have been waiting for

*2019-12-02, version 1.0.2*

I always struggle with eating healthy enough.    This app has allowed me to focus on eating healthy.  I feel great, i look great.   And it’s so convenient.   I can’t recommend this enough.

### 5/5 — Thankful

*2019-12-01, version 1.0.2*

I’m so impressed with this app. You won’t regret eating this way. Heal yourself from the inside

### 3/5 — Problem with viewing the videos

*2019-11-25, version 1.0.2*

I got the app and I really liked what it offers!!! However I can’t watch the videos. They won’t play. They all give an error. Anyone had the same problem and has it fixed?

### 5/5 — Great app!!

*2019-11-14, version 1.0.2*

### 5/5 — Fantastic app

*2019-11-10, version 1.0.2*

Made my life so much easier and better.
Worth every penny ❤️👌👍🙏.

### 1/5 — I refuse to support this guy & you should too!

*2019-11-01*

Marley (the creator of the PSC) started off with a great cause. To get people healthy. His cause has turned into a power trip and if you don’t agree with something he says, you will be banned from his group. Including paying customers! So, he will not see another cent from me or anyone else that I know.

Today he stated “If you consume bread or oil, this is not the challenge for you.” Guess what Marley? People transitioning don’t feel welcome. People that have a slip up, also don’t feel welcome. 

Great cause you’re promoting here... Shaming people. Your customers are dropping like flies. You need to look in the mirror and have an attitude adjustment and realize the people that NEED your help are the ones still on a SA diet or transitioning.
Don’t shame them. I hope you learn from this.

### 1/5 — Poor nutrition guideline

*2019-10-30, version 1.0.2*

Developer promotes an unhealthy platform. Does not believe that macronutrients, micronutrients, and calories are important. Does not offer nutritional facts for meal plans. Plans fail to meet nutritional requirements for healthy weight loss. Of course it works, your not consuming enough. It does not matter how someone eats, these are important things for balanced nutrition. Even eating plant based with no processed foods, this still matters.
