ad infested with too much useless garbage thrown in. finding a better alternative
Problems with the interface . Designed for children. unable to enter custom amount as the numbers pad completely covered the edit box. Unusable. Also - no way to test. Demand payment immediately.
Loved the app, but lack of response from support and useless integration with Health Connect was the nail in the coffin. You can connect to Health Connect, but it: - Doesn't read your weight data. - Doesn't write nutrition data. but it does useless stuff like writing the weight data?! --- Following dev feedback, I tried reaching out to their support. No response! Really a shame, app was great besides that.
this is a scam app! they will say 7 days trial without deduction and immediately the yearly subscription is deducted from your account and they dont refund the amount!
all this dark patterns are soo annoying, and probably even illegal in the EU and Switzerland!
1st. constant pop ups for subscription is annoying. Complicated and hard to actually get the items & nutrition information, I can't even find regular plain toast to add for my breakfast without custom making it. & to top it all off I am going through a lot, medically, and a family loss so I hadn't been using the app. And the moment I open it, it's asking me why I haven't used the app? & asks how I'm going to make sure I continue to use it in the future, giving options like "accountability" wow.
unrealistic. shared the kind of feedback I got from this app and was told to "delete it immediately". it shames your food choices. maybe some people really need this advice, but when you're having a taco night and it tells you to replace the zero net carb tortilla with some almonds. no. clearly no human involvement in this endeavor. can't even get their AI to remember foods I already entered and have to search for them every time I eat.
It's supposed to sync to my watch to track movement and more importantly steps - it doesn't. The app is pointless when you have to add your own activities daily to calculate your calories burned. Tried contacting the help team, no response. I've been cheated out of my money.
awful
Wants to ask you a million questions before starting. I just wanted to use the app to log calories but the app decided it was apart of the Spanish inquisition. Ask how long you want to spend on the app and keeps you there for sooooo long before you can do anything. Speed this process up or let us do it in our own time. Advertised great for people with ADHD......LET ME START USING THE APP QUICKER.
ask too much things when rrgistering account
I need someone to help me with my account. I loved this app, referred my husband and then his app data was getting mixed with mine despite us having different emails. I paid for premium but I got logged out and now I had to create a new account with my SAME EMAIL THAT I PAID WITH and lost all my progress and don't have my subscription. I want a refund or my data reloaded
Bonjour, J'ai souscrit à l'option payante de l'application à une époque où la mascotte n'était pas présente. Actuellement, cette mascotte, avec ses "cadeaux" ou ses progrès, apparaît à chaque enregistrement de repas. Je trouve cela particulièrement fastidieux. La mascotte ne m'est d'aucune utilité, je ne souhaite pas la voir et je n'ai aucun intérêt à lui acheter des accessoires. L'application m'impose de visualiser ses progrès et ses cadeaux, ce que je n'avais ni demandé ni souscrit initialem
This app is a scam. Not only they make it sound like everything will be tailored made for you but also their referral program is fake. I have referred a friend, who later on subscribed and didn't get a thing. Reaching out to customer support was useless because they completely ignored me.
They more than doubled the price of premium from what it was last year. They also added an incredibly manipulative questionnaire when you first open the app that takes over 10 minutes, is full of fake look-at-how-hard-we're-working "loading screens", has a roulette wheel where you "win" the "ultra-rare" prize for a 20% discount, and so on. The app still works but this predatory behavior is gross and shows the app has been bought out by capitalist scumbags. Avoid.
awful I was misled into believing I could cancel within 7 days, and now I can't get my refund.
I found this app really frustrating. Banners and popups urging you to pay for premium are extremely irritating, some of us can't afford that, ask once and go away. Lots of things are locked behind that paywall. No tutorial on how to use the app, I couldn't find any feature to edit serving sizes to show the accurate serving I actually ate. You can hardly accurately count calories if you can't track amount eaten. Also the frowning emojis when foods aren't "approved" are just not helpful
Update: I have downgraded to 2 stars as I'm still waiting for someone to tell me how to fix my problem below. just updated app and it won't let me add an activity, plus nearly all my regular activities are no longer there for me to choose from.
Why get someone to answer all these questions just to be asked to pay at the end, these apps are all the same.
Photos should be able to be included once a day.
Good at first now disappointed. I have been using this app since January 2026, all good. But, since the latest update, my exercise/ workouts are not appearing in the app as an activity. I have gone through connecting the app to 3rd party tracking apps which had worked fine before & it is still not showing any workouts automatically. I have add these manually, which to me defeats the object of being able to connect to 3rd party tracking apps.
I like being able to take a photo of my food and get an estimate of the calories. The referral process doesn't work. I sent two referral emails to a friend. She didn't get them. You're only allowed 10 referrals and that was 2 of them. I sent a referral to myself and forwarded the referral link to her. She signed up and subscribed. We waited. No gift card. Customer service automatic response 13 days ago. In response to this review, I receieved an offer to cancel my membership.
It was a good app until they added gems and a plant pet to track your progress. Now, you have to sit through two additional screens every time you log your food, which doesn't sound like much time wasted, but it adds up when you are logging 3 meals a day + snacks Gamifying things can be fun, but it is aggravating and unnecessary in an app where you are trying to quickly log your meal and eat. People have asked for a way to turn it off for months, but they have ignored it and doubled down.
