### 1/5 — That’s no good

*2021-06-05, version 3.1*

Download the app paid and I can’t do anything with this thing are you all this features and none Of it Compute or calculates itself do you have to do everything manually

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money. Difficult app to use.

*2019-12-10, version 3.1*

I had hopes for this app. I did read the reviews, but since some of the complaints were a couple of years old I was hoping the issues were fixed. They are not. It’s difficult to scroll through the food list because the the titles do not fit on the screen, so you’re needing to click each one until you find what you eat, if it’s even listed. This app also does not allow you to scan a barcode and have all the information of that food item to automatically appear. If you want to add a food item to the list, you need to personally add all the nutritional information yourself. This is extremely time consuming considering none of the protein shakes or bars I eat are not listed.

### 1/5 — Doesn't Work as Stated

*2019-02-06, version 3.1*

This is the worst - a waste of 99 cents. The idea is great - but try adding custom foods - if you are a huge fast food eater this app might help you see what fats and carbs you are consuming - for anything else its a waste of timr

### 1/5 — Good idea. Horrible execution.

*2019-01-29, version 3.1*

I want an app to track daily protein intake. This app sets out to do that, and has a decent construct. But it completely fails when you go to look up food. Type in “Chicken” and it gives you 4 pages of Burger King and Campbell Soup options. You have to scroll way way way down to find simple chicken breast, which then neglects to specify how much. Don’t bother trying to find “nut bar.” Not useful. Needs better search mechanism.

### 2/5 — Feels like an alpha version

*2018-12-16, version 3.1*

Difficult to find common foods. 

Bug. Overwriting causing gibberish print on screen. 

Can’t specify which meal you were eating at—the app decides this based on time of day, I think. So if you input all your foods in the evening, they’ll all be dinner.

Sometimes you have to convert ounces to grams outside the app. 

Bug. Sometimes the app lets you think that you can specify the unit, but if you do beyond default, you get gibberish.

### 2/5 — Pain in the butt

*2018-11-09, version 3.1*

I bought this to track my intake. I can’t get it to count water!  There isn’t an option to save my intake! Very frustrating. Also the common foods...didn’t have peanut butter! Really?  It has just about every nut in every form on here but no peanuts on their own and no peanut butter. If it’s on there it’s not under the title is should be. The first foods I ate were activia yogurt and peanut butter I had to add both. It’s a royal pain to use. Too many screen to move through. It needs simplified. It shouldn’t take 3 minutes to enter something! The learning curve is not enjoyable with this app. Please fix these things and add real common food not just odd nuts and seeds and weird brands of yogurts. Actually...make it so that when someone adds a food that it updates the overall list and make life easier for everyone.

### 1/5 — Thousands of foods but what I’m trying to enter

*2018-07-23, version 3.0*

I had to enter more foods than not.  Kens Salad Dressings, Jennie-O products - nothing when I searched.  Easier to manually track protein.  I’ll just call this a $1 wasted.

### 1/5 — Confusing

*2018-04-15, version 3.0*

Super confusing system. Seems like a great app but still can’t figure out how to actually add in my food/exercise/protein for the day. Would be nice if they’d include a tutorial of some sort.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2016-03-27, version 2.0*

It's a great app and I love how it gives me a heads up on what is high on Protien base goods. Need to add restaurant like Mellow Mushroom and other places like that or something like that. Thanks and keep up the good works and a the app

### 2/5 — Ugh.

*2016-01-28, version 2.0*

I had to delete this. It needs a barcode. It doesn't have any of my local grocery stores. Doesn't have a wawa coffee selection it needs improvement. Very good idea just needs to update
