### 1/5 — Can’t see past meals

*2026-05-09, version 1.8.0*

Have been logging my meals for over a month on this, can only see the past week!! What a waste of my time. There’s zero mention that it wasn’t going to let me see what I’ve input after a week and zero no way of getting any help.

### 3/5 — Could be better

*2026-01-05, version 1.8.0*

Pictures should be bigger and titles able to be longer. Otherwise good app

### 4/5 — Love the UX - several ideas for improvement

*2025-09-12, version 1.8.0*

Really like the design and experience. I appreciate that there aren’t calories, no looking up items and encouraging toxic diet culture… but I am frustrated by some SMALL tweaks that could be easily changed. I would love the ability to: 

- add multiple portions of a food group —> so I can see, oh I’ve had 3 carb portions already today 

- create more categories of food groups: would love drinks, sweets.. 

- view the entire meal title when looking at the day (right now it cuts off.. so if you have more than a few words you can’t see it at a glance.. ie., oatmeal, peanut butter and an apple) 

- I can’t seem to find the view where I can see a week of food or food groups or how I felt after meals at a glance, although I see it described in the update.

### 5/5 — Calories

*2025-07-30, version 1.8.0*

I love that there are no calorie trackers in this, its a great way to keep track without fixating on numbers!

### 5/5 — So perfect for ED recovery and nutrition without diet culture- health focused!

*2025-03-31, version 1.8.0*

I am so so happy I found this app. I am recovered from disordered eating but also want to eat healthier, generally get an idea of how I am eating, and make sure I am eating enough since I’m a D1 athlete. This app is super helpful as I work on my nutrition and work with my nutritionist. This app is so so perfect for that, I love how straight forward and not overwhelming it is. it has a lot of the features I want- and avoids exactly what I need to avoid (like calorie tracking, exercise goals, or rating foods as healthy or unhealthy)

### 2/5 — It won’t work for me

*2025-01-04, version 1.8.0*

I can’t afford a subscription service right now, I was hoping this would be a one time payment app. I hate all these new subscription stuff. The worst part is, the free version would be great if I could see my past journals for more than a week. Glad I checked what the differences were after only logging for a day, or else in a week I would have been in for a surprise losing all my progress. I need to keep a log for my doctor, but it looks like that log will have to be in a notes app.

### 5/5 — Great App.

*2025-01-01, version 1.8.0*

Very easy to track my meals, was great as I wanted to go on a diet and this app made it easier for me. I could track my water intake and calorie intake. Loved it!

### 3/5 — Please fix bug ASAP - iPhone app

*2024-10-01, version 1.8.0*

You cannot add a food until you type in the name of the food. But when you do, the onscreen keyboard covers the bottom half of the screen and it does not allow scrolling so you can’t actually add the food item.

### 5/5 — Hi

*2024-09-04, version 1.8.0*

I’m writing a review because I want people to know how good this app is not many people reviewed this but it is so so good. I don’t think I would ever want to change this app. It is absolutely perfect as a younger person. I do not have the money, to pay for this app so I use it completes without any purchases and I don’t think I would like to because even without it it is so so good it’s so good for tracking so good for making sure you drink enough water I love this app and as someone who is has coeliac disease it is never been easier to track my diet which can be hard when I have dietary needs. I’m also low in iron and this is so good for my dietician to track. I would 100% recommend us to anyone. I hope you can get this up.

### 5/5 — AMAZING APP!

*2024-07-13, version 1.8.0*

I think this is a really great idea and you have executed it perfectly! Well done! One suggestion thought can you make it so we can change it from oz to ml? Love this app, use it daily

Again, this is all anonymous and is not tied to your actual data itself. That will always remain private to you only.
