App won't even open, just keeps saying there is issue with my internet even though my connectivity through other apps is just fine
won't open after my paying and using for 3 mos
WARNING. WARNING ⚠️ do not do not SUBSCRIBE do not use any of their premium features as even the least expensive plan is impossible to unsubscribe from. as so many other apps, this one too has you chasing your tail, sending you from pillar to post and back again, you end up having lengthy chats with an AI ROBOT who tells you it's your fault. I subscribed on my mobile and yet it's impossible to unsubscribe on my mobile, the subscription doesn't appear in Google play store under any of my IDs.
Asked for refund ($25) as this was not doing what i needed and wasn't satisified. Was told it was not their policy. What a Scam. Biggest rip off ever.
👎
Tried it months ago; just tried it again. I get by the "pick which things are made by humans" verification, but then match the things that are most alike won't EVER verify me & let me log into the account I created. So I don't know if the app is actually good or not since I can't access my own account. Won't try again; will try to find one that's actually accessable.
The first 9 (of 9) recipes I opened, which happened to be the first 9 entrees presented in the app, were all "Premium"/paid subscription recipes, so I have no way to rate this anything other than a "1" as I unable to view any of the recipes. Moreover, the app forces you to create a "plan" on first use, which I have no interest in. Uninstalled immediately after experiencing those two things as nothing else the app offered held any value for me.
app will not load after a month of use. Tried everything suggested from clearing cache to restart and force stop app. nothing. waste of time
The UI is terrible. I wish I would've turned off automatic updates for this app. It gets worse with every update. Cant "un-hide" accidentally hidden food. why is this a thing? Followed their website help page to undo this, and the solution does not work. I also hate the new logging list it builds as you enter daily food, now it gets in the way of trying to see and navigate.
not a carb counter. it sucks
too complicated for my needs.
Don't waste your money.
I find it so tacky that this is a carb tracking app and when you open it up the first thing they do is have you set up a calorie goal and the app is set up as though you can somehow calculate your calorie deficit. The whole entire point of low carb diets is to lower insulin or blood sugar. Its so unhealthy to restrict carbs and calories at the same time, and it should be up to the user to set their info anyway. Different people have different BMRs, and your BMR usually speeds way up on low carb.
still going through it
every time you make an entry - up-sell ! hate that. if you enter a meal manually it doesn't rate it with carbs, fats etc... You can only choose one of their recipes that's similar to what you ate if you buy premium, otherwise no. so what food is this app??? won't help you track your carbs, calories, fats etc per meal, which is the whole reason I wanted the app.
its very difficult to get past the main page, takes ages to load. keep having to go back and try and load it again. Will try another app to see if its any better. a bit of a shame though as I've been on carb manager for years. this must be a recent problem
I'm still getting to know it, but it's annoying that it's so slow to open. It goes thru the logo iteration too long, which is frustrating when trying to quickly add a food, etc.. Otherwise, I think I'm liking it.
the app is not bad but a major hole is that the calculations are incorrect. it says I only have 24 calories left in my budget for the day, but it also says I have 20 g of protein, 5 grams of fat, and 2 g of carbs left which comes out to way more than 24 Cal. it's unfortunate but I can't trust any of the calculations after seeing that.
