★★★★ Athena Purchase 4/19/2026 v12.9.0
if you were to search up free apps like so you can use the app for free and not have to get the membership you therefore have to pay for the membership at 699 a month or 30 Something pound and it's just ridiculous
★★★★ Klaudia P 4/15/2026 v12.9.0
no offense to anyone who finds this helpful but I don't need large images of food like milk or eggs, the design is child like. you lost me when for the life of me I couldn't figure out how to add my own meal I created and I would consider myself a very tech savvy person.
★★★★ Jill Mckay 4/12/2026
another app that makes you pay, not interested
★★★★ izzy jackson 4/11/2026 v12.9.0
used to be good, now need to pay for a subscription just to be able to do more than 5 entries a day
★★★★ Sean H 4/9/2026 v12.9.0
Since switching it on, DDG has blocked over 200 hidden tracking attempts in only 10 minutes from Google within the Nutracheck app - exactly what are they tracking? I may get rid of the app altogether and sign in via the DDG Browser, I may even uninstall the app completely. I do NOT expect the developers to sell my data, to anyone (and Google are one of the worst), when I am paying for it.
★★★★ Lucy Tuna 4/7/2026
really struggle with this app ...it likes to have moments of breakdown...usually when I'm using it. I wouldn't mind if it was free...but it's not!
★★★★ Steven Szekeres 4/7/2026 v12.9.0
inset up the app, used it for three days and then it lost all my data. Great features and easy to use but everything is now gone so a complete waste of time.
★★★★ Jake Jw 4/3/2026
not user-friendly at all. stressed me out so much trying to figure out how to use it. finally got my head around it, and it said my trial had run out! 😡
★★★★ beatrice spencer 4/2/2026 v12.9.0
they say free then charge
★★★★ Lou 3/30/2026 v12.9.0
Do not waste your money ! It's a really bad app ,it doesn't work properly, pointless. Customer service is terrible, too.
★★★★ David Bryant 3/29/2026 v12.9.0
Shows up as free on search. Tells me it's a free trial after set up.
★★★★★ Mel G 5/5/2026 v12.10.0

★★★★★ Jason Burrett 5/5/2026 v12.10.0
does the job but is overpriced for what it does.
★★★★★ Tony W 5/4/2026 v12.9.0
Was good until today when I received 3 reminders in a row wanting feedback. Due to renew and now won't bother.
★★★★★ Maz RJ 4/22/2026
Doesn't make it clear before registering for an account that this is a paid subscription only app.
★★★★★ IceCoolTea 4/21/2026 v12.9.0
7 pounds a month is mental. I'd rate it 1 star for the usual mobile app slop, pretending to be a professional app that was worked on for years which is a joke, but if you have the money it actually does a good job accessing freely available public nutrition data. Not only pay them scam money, but they also ask for permission to sell your personal data at the same time. What a time to be alive.
★★★★★ Tracy Morris 4/21/2026
I was disappointed that after signing up that this is not free as listed in the search results-and was only a free trial for a week.
★★★★★ Nicky Henson 4/20/2026
it's a really good app but you need to pay for the full experience? and you can only lot 5 items per day if you're not paying for it x definitely don't recommend! plenty of free apps out there x
★★★★★ Luna 3thousand 4/5/2026 v12.9.0
Favourites are useless and interface isn't user friendly. Plus it's only a 7 day free trial, that wasn't clearly explained. I like that you can create your own meals though
★★★★★ Susan D 3/31/2026 v12.9.0
I have been trying since March 10 to get a problem with the app fixed. Originally Tiana from customer care team responded and according to her they had found the problem and were working on a fix for it. That was on March 17th. Haven't heard a peep from them since the 17th even after I tried contacting them numerous times. I paid for this membership but will not be renewing when the year is up. The one thing that is important for me to track is totally screwed up
