Not quite ready to launch
I really love PN, which I did for two years. I thought this might be a refresher - a check in to check in with myself and make sure I held myself accountable. Unfortunately, it’s just not there. My first week was to check in about increasing protein intake. This worked fine, although the daily check-ins we’re not that useful, unless you needed some recommendations, which were quite repetitive. My next week was emotional check in. I notice a name sort of thing regarding your relationship with food. This just doesn’t work well with this format, unfortunately. Additionally, this does now interface with Apple health app, but I found that it only works some of the time. This really seems like a beta version of an app. Hopefully it will come up with better in the future. 🤞🏻

Doesn’t work
Repeatedly getting an error when trying to set goals now. Nothing I can do to fix this on my end
The coach in my 24/7
One of the favorite things I like about this app is that it’s always available to you. I work during the day and don’t have time to talk to a regular human base coach or keep a schedule with the trainer. It’s really cool too how the chat function remembers things that I’ve told it two or three weeks prior to make sure it gives me the right guidance moving forward.

Terrible
This app locks up all the time. Repeats itself. Don’t waste your money. I currently cannot communicate with it at all. Filed complaints nothing resolved. Huge waste!
App lacks logging/tracking
The most obvious function for a diet/weight loss app is tracking what you eat. Precision Nutrition (the makers of Sage) advocate measuring food in hand portions of protein, vegetables, grains, and fat but there’s no tool to keep track of those or macros or even a list of what was eaten in a day. Until that’s added this app is just ChatGPT.

Bummed
Being a PN certified coach, I was soooo excited to see what this app had to offer. Maybe I got my hopes too high, but it definitely didn’t live up to the hype. I hate to say that because I LOVE PN and everything they are about/offer.
It needs to stay in beta testing right now.
It’s basically just you messaging this AI bot every now and again and doing a super basic check-in that isn’t much of a check in. That’s about it. There’s a very bland home screen that’s not really even a home screen.
I got really excited that this app would “sync” up with more things and really get to know me on a deeper level. I was excited to test it out and maybe learn a few tricks from it from a coaches-standpoint, too, but that didn’t happen. Definitely not worth $9/month right now.
This app has a LOT of potential but it’s going to take a lot more time and testing.
PN, you can do better!! I believe in you!

Not Ready Yet
I am very excited for the idea of this app but it’s just not there yet. I don’t think this app is developed enough to be charging money for its use yet. It needs more features and more work.
I am coming up on 2 weeks of using it so far and I do plan to cancel my monthly subscription because it just isn’t providing the value yet that it has the potential to.
Reviewing the PN webpage that describes this app, I do not see it providing many of the functions described, which is very disappointing. For example, the website description of the app says, “Lots of apps track your calories, macros, steps, exercise, and sleep. Sage does all that, too.” It then goes on to describe how Sage uses that data, going beyond what other apps do. This app does NOT track any of those things. I would have expected this app to hook into Apple Health, so that it has access to all of this type of data and can then do things with it, none of that is present in the app.
There are other things that I think could be improved about this app’s UI/UX but I think the issue outlined above is the biggest problem with this app right now, since it set the expectation for features that it doesn’t have.
I think this app should be in beta testing right now, not having people pay. I would be happy to be a beta tester as they continue to develop this app, but won’t be paying unless big changes are made.
