### 3/5 — It’s ok

*2026-08-06, version 2.54.0*

I like it but it cost money

### 1/5 — Can’t open to try

*2026-07-30, version 2.54.0*

Doesn’t work on iPhone 17 or iPad

### 1/5 — Free version useless

*2026-07-29, version 2.53.0*

If u don’t pay, the app won’t tell you how much protein is in the food and is pretty useless

### 1/5 — $$ cost to track protein

*2026-07-26, version 2.53.0*

Didn’t use the app because I couldn’t look up a burrito unless I signed up for a trial. Well I just used AI to add up my protein and kept it in my notes. Free. Easier than the app. Deleting this right away

### 5/5 — Terrible barcode scanner

*2026-07-25, version 2.53.0*

Paid for premium and half of my barcodes for food just wont scan, no matter the light, angle, or how perfect of a shot i get, it simply wont scan.

### 5/5 — Love!

*2026-07-25, version 2.53.0*

I love this app! Makes teaching my protein intake so easy!

### 1/5 — Bait and switch pricing—DO NOT BUY

*2026-07-23, version 2.53.0*

Do not trust this app! Their paywall screen advertises $2.99 a month to get you to sign up, but when you check out, it secretly charges you $3.99 EVERY WEEK. That is completely misleading and deceptive. The app itself is fine, but pulling sneaky pricing tactics like this is unacceptable. I canceled immediately and requested a full refund from Apple. Beware!

### 5/5 — Worth it!

*2026-07-19*

I found this app to be invaluable. I’m going through chemotherapy currently and need to make sure I have a minimum amount of protein, this makes it very easy to track using the photos or the direct input methods. I’m very appreciative of how well it works. Definitely worth the cost.

### 2/5 — This app charges you even though you did not use anything in the app to warrant being charged .

*2026-07-18, version 2.53.0*

This app charges you even if you don’t use anything that costs. It’s a rip off

### 3/5 — Questions

*2026-07-15, version 2.53.0*

I need help with this app. Things I put in disappear frequently.
