Updated review: helping identify patterns
I’ve used this for 3 weeks and have paid for the year.
At first the AI insights didn’t work but after sending feedback that has been updated.
I am finding it useful, as when I’ve done anything to do with food tracking in the past it is about whether you ate the right foods and how many calories. This just says “what you ate”, no judgement. You can even just snap a picture of a box of Jaffa cakes!
Importantly the lack of judgement is helping me choose how much awareness I want to pay and I can learn about my particular emotions, patterns etc.
Although the AI insights are a bit generic e.g. it scrapes data and shows things like “you ate food that moved you from slightly hungry to fulll…”. What I did was I screen shot several pages from my food diary which shows time, emotions, comments etc. And I uploaded to my ChatGPT. I use my Chat regularly and therefore the knowledge of me as a person is held there.
That was really useful and so I’m combining the two.
For me, I’m a binger not a purger so weight is high and rarely low (only when I’ve dieted).
Do I think the app will change your life? No. Do I think it will spark enough interest for you to start to learn and lean into recovery? I don’t know, it’s helping me and I hope to update in the future with further developments

So so - fix AI insights
Had it for 7 days, have decided to commit to the experience. Though so far teaches me what I know. How much I eat, when, why. It’s the changing it that I need…. Let’s see. I also find it annoying that after I record each meal I wait patiently whilst the AI swirls but nothing changes, no AI insights appear….? Why not? Always blank. Is the app broken here?

Great app
I really love this app so far. My only comments would be that it sometimes crashes and exits the app randomly. Also on the Trends page, I think the happy and mad faces are backwards on the graph. Based on my data, I think happy faces should be at the top and it’s tracking the line backwards currently.
Coming back to this review, at some point when I updated the app it erased my progress and put me back on Module 1, even though I had made it to the Strategsit level. This was very demotivating and I haven’t continued using the app since.

Good not great
The AI feedback is slow and annoying when trying to input food and feedback.
There should be physical feelings as well as emotional feelings when entering mood (headache, pain etc).

Terrible app
This is the WORST!!! I paid for this app a month ago and I still can’t access it. My attempts to contact support are still unanswered. The app is bad and the support unavailable. Don’t WASTE your money. Two thumbs down!!!👎🏻👎🏻
Keine Probezeit
Trotz Zusicherung eines 7 tägigen Probezeitraums wurde Jahresbetrag sofort fällig und abgebucht.
YOU GOTTA PAY
it’s so expensive and i thought it was free
exploitative
so maybe if you’re trying to help people with EDs, don’t exploit them with a paywall? if you wanted to help people, you wouldn’t be profiting off of it. insane that there isn’t a free option.

Great
I love the new update, makes it easier to access and love the analytics on my meals
Triggering latest update.
The program is solid with multiple therapies learned in small chunks daily over 3 months, but the new update is horribly triggering. For a lot of binge eaters they shouldn’t be logging their food because it makes the problem much worse after chronic dieting cycling, and while that used to be one option, it’s now front and center, expected. It needs to go back into the background asap before it does damage.

cant use it
i was so excited to find a way to encourage myself in recovering from binge eating but it costs money. it's 8.99 for 30 days and that just feels kinda unreasonable. i just cant do that with my money state rn
This app is a gift
This app has been a blessing. I was trying to get a binge eating therapy but my insurance unfortunately couldn't cover it. Thanksfully this app offers an affordable solution that has had a HUGE impact on my struggle with binge eating. Despite its accessible price, the app provides comprehensive resources and a supportive environment that have empowered me to make positive changes. I am grateful for the affordability and effectiveness of this life-changing app.

Celebrating every step forward
I used to go to bed feeling disgusted after late night binging. This app helped me get out of that little by little. It really celebrates every achievement I make, which fits me really well. I feel like i'm getting a step closer to the binge eating recovery everytime I use this app.

I tried many apps
Among the various apps I've tried, this one has become my favorite for addressing binge eating. Its accessible platform and insightful resources have made it a standout choice for me. I appreciate the app's user-friendly interface and the sense of kindness it has brought into my life.
farrrr better than weight loss apps
I've finally found an app that promotes a healthy and sustainable approach to food without succumbing to toxic diet culture. It has helped me understand why restrictive diets are harmful, empowering me to regain control of my eating behaviors and develop a more positive relationship with my body.

I am hopeful and happy
R.care has been incredibly helpful for its accountability, user-friendly platform, educational resources, and food tracking features. As I became older, I could no longer rely on food as my comfort zone, as each binge took a toll on my health. Recognizing the need for proper coaching, I found R.care indispensable in overcoming binge eating habits and making healthier food choices, which are now more important to me than ever.

R.care
R.care has truly transformed my life, no question about it. I had been stuck in a cycle of binge eating for years—alternating between starving myself to lose weight and then gaining 20-30 pounds from binging. My entire relationship with food has shifted; I now feel satisfied without the self-hatred. What's more, I've developed a genuine love for my body, not because I've shed pounds but because I'm treating myself better. I've tried countless diets and weight loss programs, but R.care is different. It's not about weight but more about understanding what is blocking me to have a health & sustainable relationship with food and helping me work on it. While the lessons may sometimes seem obvious, they serve as vital reminders of my goals. My wish? They urgently need to add a save feature for the lesson. There's so much valuable content in the lessons—writing about bad habits and long-term goals—but none of it gets saved. It's frustrating that such a basic feature isn't available.

My favorite feature is
the AI based food logging feature. It makes me feel so much more at peace with my choices, no guilt, no anxiety. I actually cried the first time it told me to enjoy a piece of chocolate and to be mindful. I needed that. Binge eating feels so isolating, and knowing that there’s something out there that understands and supports me—it’s honestly life-changing.

I clicked the ad that said Duolingo for binge eating
I had such a strong drive to recover from binge eating, but I couldn’t figure out how to channel it. The damage of binge eating has been enormous, both physically and mentally. Then I found this app. It’s exactly the learning path I needed, guiding me step by step. Each day, I take a small step forward, learning about my habits and how to make better choices. I feel a sense of accomplishment as I gather new insights on what to do next. Every now and then, the app gives me an ‘aha’ moment that pushes me forward.
