After filling all my information in on the start up page, the page won’t let me submit to continue on. Also the button available is to upgrade your app and pay. ### 1/5 — Don’t waste time *2022-01-06, version 1.2.1* Way too many ads . Can’t select activity level. Not worth headache ### 1/5 — Ad every 15 seconds literally. *2021-11-01* Don’t download this app. I had to clear 6 ads just in the first minute I was using the app. It made me wonder how often ads pop up, so I set a timer. An ad pops up every 15 seconds, unless you pay to have them removed. DO NOT DOWNLOAD. ### 1/5 — ADS GALORE! *2021-08-09* Within the first 60 seconds of using the app I had ads pop of FIVE times. Don’t bother downloading. The reason this app has such a high rating is because it asks you to rate the app after using it for 5 seconds. ### 1/5 — More Adds than app *2021-08-07* I can barely use the app due to the excessive amount of adds then they want you to pay $2 to get rid of the adds for a simple calculation. Hard pass ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ads *2025-05-20* The ads are absolutely ridiculous I deleted the app after being on it 5 minutes the ads are crazy! ### 1/5 — Horrible *2025-04-21* I nieto getting pop ads and I couldn’t find where I could plug in my breakfast calories ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-01-18* Scam app. I will report ### 1/5 — Not worth the AD removal *2024-08-29, version 1.2.2* You pay 6.99 and you get basically nothing. There are no explanations for the numbers you are getting. Even examples of macro breakdown based on several based on the calories. Something. Hopefully a few more extras will be added. ### 1/5 — Waste of $4.99 *2024-01-05* I thought once I paid the 499 it would tell me more information or recommendations. After you put in your info, it makes one calculation, but doesn’t tell you what the calculation is… I’m assuming it’s for maintenance. Total waste of money. ### 1/5 — Had for about 30 seconds *2023-09-26* What a dumpster fire of an app. They block the “next” button with an ad that won’t go away making it completely useless. ### 1/5 — don’t waste your time *2023-05-16* so buggy and doesn’t tell you what you need to know. it’s not what you expect at all ### 1/5 — Incredibly irritating *2022-06-30* I downloaded this app and I used it for less than 5 minutes. It was very easy to get the information I needed and everything was on one screen. The frustrating pieces of this app are that you cannot read the text to select your exercise because it’s white in a white box and there is an ad every 11 seconds. This app has so many ads that my husband and I literally timed it. I understand using ads to generate income, but this was too much. ### 1/5 — Get ready to be flooded with ads *2022-05-08* Worst app Iv ever encountered. Ads at every turn, can’t even get through to see the results. How did they get so many good reviews? Its crazy. ### 1/5 — Scam *2022-04-19* You can barely use it. It only goes a few seconds before it jumps into ads. It advertises itself as free but you really can only use it if you pay. ## Most praised reviews (3 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great App! *2021-07-11* very simple to use, very straightforward only one screen, no needless clicking or annoying ads very handy ### 3/5 — Just one small bug *2024-07-31* Great app very easy and simple to use. I just have a small issue the section to scroll for activity level appears blank. I only see the option by scrolling until I come across my activity level. ### 3/5 — Simple but improve *2024-06-10* There’s ads, and you can remove them for a price. You’re better off going online for free seeing how it’s only one calculation needed. There’s a drop down box asking your activity level but it’s white writing in a white box and you can’t see what the options are. Not the best app. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
