### 2/5 — Not impressed

*2023-01-04, version 7.0*

Scanner doesn’t work and freezes making the app way less attractive manually entering in UPC’s-
After manually adding meals there is not EAT function to log food—- 

I’d like my money back so I can try a better app for my needs

**Developer response:** Hello, I'm sorry to hear about the frustrating experience you had with the app. We haven't received reports of the scanner freezing on Apple devices so if you haven't already, please get in touch with us at support@venninteractive.com so that we can investigate this more for you.

### 2/5 — Not a functional app

*2022-10-17, version 7.0*

Just entering your basic metrics is anything but easy. Looks like a website from the 90s and functions horribly. Needs major update. Scrolling through the foods is very slow

**Developer response:** Hi, I'm sorry to hear about your disappointment with the app. We haven't received reports of the app slowly scrolling, so if you'd like to contact us at support@venninteractive.com, our tech team can investigate this more for you.

### 4/5 — The best app for a Keto/Paleo IF lifestyle

*2020-08-20, version 6.3*

This is the first diet tracking app I haven’t hated and actually love using. This app has it all, you can track food, set fasting schedules, customize macros, and have fun while doing so. I cannot express strongly enough how much I love this app! Tracking my nutrition was the piece i was missing from my health journey and this has made a world of difference. 

For the first time in my long quest for fitness, I actually look forward to logging meals on this app and it has helped me stay on track. 

There’s a few things that could be improved, but overall worth every penny. 

Pros:
-One-stop shop for tracking macros, meals, and fasting

-Allows for customizing macros for YOUR needs without pushing canned recommendations

-engaging UI with fun icons and easy addition of personalized recipes (under the custom meal section)

-Easily switch from Fast mode to eat mode. The only app i’ve seen that tracks fasting and feasting in the same place!

Cons (or suggestions for improvement):

-the progress log section could be enriched with better insights of nutrition patterns over time, and with a week/month view of weight over time instead of the single graph

-a bit clunky when searching for foods not on the main grid, but overall it works well enough

-would be nice to have visibility of micronutrients

-the manual entry for serving sizes would be more streamlined if it allowed you to key in partial servings (1.5, vs having to select 1 and then use the arrows for the decimal fraction)

-the exercise section isn’t very functional, would be great if it allowed to sync with my health app or other step tracker

*******
Overall these nitpicks are minor, i love this app and i find it better for Keto/Paleo/IF than MFP and the other mainstream diet trackers out there

### 3/5 — Great app needs update

*2020-03-14, version 6.3*

The app is great but some of info is not fully being saved so I have to manually add extra carbs or protein.

### 2/5 — not very specialised

*2019-06-10, version 5.2.1*

this is a great app for logging food. the ui is insanely intuitive and you have to do barely any work. however, the food listed is not all great for paleo and doesn't seem to have any distinction between the foods you should and shouldn't be eating on paleo. if you log a food that's not paleo-healthy, there's nothing to indicate that that food shouldn't be eaten on paleo. if this were advertised as a general food logging app rather than a specifically paleo app, it would be higher rated.

### 4/5 — Super easy to use

*2019-05-07, version 5.2.1*

Just starting out on Paleo and this app makes it super easy to keep on track. Only down side is you have to upgrade to customize your food.

**Developer response:** Hello, thanks for sharing your nice feedback about the app. If you decide to upgrade in the future for additional options, your upgrade is a one time purchase, unlike most of the subscription apps out there. With PRO, you can create custom meals where you'll add all of the ingredients for a recipe and then specify the number of portions the recipe makes. You can scan in new foods with the UPC reader, you can search for foods (to add) and quickly sort through the foods you have, you can even create custom foods if you have access to the macros. In addition to those features, you can sync your devices, you won't see ads, you can request new icons, and your purchase also lets you switch over to our other diet apps (Keto, Paleo, and Macros) by creating an account in the app your purchased and then signing in with the same account. Thanks again for sharing your feedback.

### 4/5 — Easy to use

*2018-07-08, version 4.1*

I’m finding this easy to use and helpful in keeping my food in a healthy balance of carb, fat and protein

### 5/5 — User friendly

*2018-04-27, version 4.1*

Love it! Comprehensive list of foods. Makes tracking super simple. Really like the flat fee up front, instead of billed monthly. Very worth $9.99!

**Developer response:** Thank you for sharing your nice review. We're really glad to hear that you enjoy the app's features, including not needing to pay a monthly subscription like most of the competing apps.

### 5/5 — Great food tracker

*2018-02-25, version 4.1*

I cook almost all of my food from scratch so I find this app much more streamlined than the food trackers that have tons of restaurant food selections. Also nice that it’s not necessary to scroll through numerous options for a standard food item. Ie: eggs
It’s been super helpful in keeping track of the macro nutrients, and I like being able to easily customize the settings. I don’t pay much attention to the food bank as I’m taking the healthy eating habits one day at a time. 
Stupid Simple is definitely worth the one time price for the full app.

**Developer response:** Thank you for sharing your nice review! We're really happy to hear the app helps you to track your foods and macros!

### 5/5 — Best app so far!!

*2017-12-19, version 3.4.5*

I really love this app. So simple.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Useless at free level

*2023-06-12*

This app was impossible to even try out at the free level. Many foods, which you can see when setting up your data, are then not listed and are unsearchable without being directed to buy the premium level. And $20 for an app is ridiculous.

### 1/5 — Cannot reset the app

*2022-02-18, version 7.0*

I want to reset the app to start on Day 1, with todays date. It will not allow me to do that. It would certainly be a better app if I could have correct date.
Update: The developers told me that I need to hit the reset button in order to reset and start again with Day 1.  That is true..to a certain extent.  I was taken back in time to the previous date and could start again with day 1.  However, I could not start on todays date and have it Day 1.

**Developer response:** Hello, I'm sorry to hear about the frustrating experience you've had in the app. In the app, the reset to day 1 button can be found by tapping on the Menu button on the bottom of the screen. If you need any additional help with resetting, please get in touch with us at support@venninteractive.com.

### 1/5 — This “free” app is annoying

*2021-09-22, version 7.0*

I cannot stand apps which PRETEND to be free. This is one of them. It isn’t possible really test out this app ... without paying.

Once you go through the Setup, you cannot do much of anything without upgrading to the Premium ($) version. This app is not at all helpful.

**Developer response:** I'm sorry to hear about the confusing experience you had with trying out the app. We offer a free trial in the app, which can be found on the upgrade screen when you select the monthly option. With this, you can try out the app and all of it's features to see if it's right for you. If you have any questions about upgrading, please feel free to get in touch at support@venninteractive.com.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2020-07-01, version 6.3*

I had high hopes for this app based on the majority of the reviews...that was a mistake. I wish I would have realized how terrible it was before purchasing the $20 version.

### 1/5 — Lousy tutorial

*2020-05-22, version 6.3*

Difficult to navigate

### 1/5 — Worse app ever

*2020-02-29, version 6.3*

I downloaded this yesterday, it practically makes you pay to even use it, so I post the $20. A total rip off. It’s not user friendly at all, and it’s to hard to input normal everyday food. Want my money back!

### 1/5 — Pure junk!

*2019-09-14, version 5.2.1*

Nothing works consistently with this app on either my iPhone XS Max. or my iPad 6gen.  Extremely aggravating at best.  Don’t waste your time or money on this loser!

### 1/5 — Over promise, under deliver

*2018-12-23, version 4.6.1*

I read the reviews before buying this app....all very positive except for one with technical issues. I don’t get it, the app is clumsy and hard to follow. The search contents are poor quality and the resources are weak. I am looking for a better app....let me know if anyone has a suggestion.

**Developer response:** I'm really sorry to hear about your disappointment with the app. We value feedback, both positive and negative, so if you'd ever like to share more feedback with us about improving the app and making it less difficult to follow, please feel free to send us an email at support@venninteractive.com.

### 1/5 — Waste of time and money

*2018-05-31, version 4.1*

Had to pay for the upgrade to input any data. Only to find out that it didn’t do anything with the information. Daily Log doesn’t work, says to tap Nutrition to update...THERE IS NOTHING TO TAP. Keeps telling me there are no foods logged. USELESS.

### 1/5 — Frustrated - Lost all data

*2018-02-25, version 4.1*

When I first downloaded this app, I loved it. It was one of the easiest apps I have ever used so I purchased the full app for $9.99! It has been amazing for the time I have had the app.

Sadly however, as of today, the app wouldn’t start and after about an hour of attempting to restart the app, it launched but I have lost all my data. Even worse, the app is now completely unusable as info changes each time I open it. For instance, sometimes the year shows as 2012, the macros show 9999g, and each time I select a different page (eg day logs, food grids, etc), it will take about 5 mins to load. Also, when I used to create a meal, I used to be able to go to safari to reference the recipe and reopen the app to continue adding to the meal. Now even if I save the meal before leaving the app, it is no longer there whenever I go back to the app so it’s also not saving any new meals!

 Completely frustrated that I have lost all my data, my customs meals, and progress after paying for this app. Is there a fix or can I get my money back?

**Developer response:** Hello, I’m really sorry for the annoying experience you had. We experienced a server crash when you wrote this review but everything is running now. We’re taking steps to insure this server issue never happens again. If you are still experiencing issues, please contact us at support@venninteractive.com so that we can help get you set up.

### 5/5 — Love the Simplicity!

*2020-06-15, version 6.3*

I’ve tried numerous to track my food and this is BY FAR the most simple one and yet thorough! No need to scroll through numerous food options- you simply click on the picture and you’re done! There’s no need to be super scientific and precise to the calorie with this... and this coming from an accountant!

**Developer response:** Hi, thanks for your feedback! We're pleased that you liked the app and that it makes easy for you to track your food. If there's anything we can help you with, please send us a message at support@venninteractive.com. Have a wonderful day!

### 5/5 — Quarantine

*2020-04-18, version 6.3*

Started whole 30 in the middle quarantine and have really loved that there are ingredients rather than premade foods as that helps the frustration during those first weeks. The tracker for fasting is awesome and so user friendly!

**Developer response:** Hello, thanks a lot for sharing your feedback. We are glad that the app has helped you during these hard days. If you ever experience any technical issues, you can message us through the app or send an email at support@venninteractive.com so that we can help you resolve any issues.

### 5/5 — Easy Helpful

### 5/5 — Helps us immensely

*2019-03-18, version 5.1*

Been using app for five weeks and it has helped us stay on course with the paleo diet. It's almost like a game keeping up with the updating after each meal. I am down 24 pounds in six weeks and my wife down 8 but I have a lot more to lose.  Discovering new foods almost daily.  Great app and helping us a lot.

**Developer response:** Thank you for sharing your nice review about the app. Also, congratulations on your amazing fitness progress for you and your wife! Keep up the good work! :)

### 5/5 — Amazing!!

*2018-12-07, version 4.6.1*

I’m speechless for this app. I started the paleo diet a little while back but for the longest time allowed myself to cheat. This app helps me stay with the program and make sure I’m eating at healthy levels.

**Developer response:** Hi Sue, thanks so much for the very nice 5-star review! Glad to hear that it's helping you stay on track!!!

### 5/5 — Recommends

*2018-07-23, version 4.1*

Great tool for a beginner to this style of diet. Being able to stay on track with macros is very helpful. Purchased the subscription for $9.99 so I can scan barcodes and I’m satisfied with the upgrade. I would recommend.

**Developer response:** Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We're really glad to hear that you enjoy using the app! I also wanted to add that your upgrade to PRO is subscription free, so once you upgrade, you'll never need to upgrade again. We don't charge subscriptions like most of the competitor apps. :) Thanks again for sharing your nice thoughts with us.

### 5/5 — New User

*2018-07-20, version 4.1*

I’ve had the app for 5 days. Love the alerts and the chart that summarizes my average fat, protein and carb intake. So far I’ve been on track and lost a few pounds. Good app
