Unless you plan on paying a subscription, don't even bother. You only get about one day's worth of entries before access is completely blocked by a paywall. No indication that it's just a trial when first starting out. With hindsight I'm surprised by the high review scores - seems like a bait and switch scheme to me. If you're a beginner to tracking calories and macros I recommend finding a free option to see if you'll actually stick to the routine before coughing up cash.
downloaded it and started filling it out that night, went to finish my previous days info amd update my info and set up account and only then did I find out it's a subscription. The app seems good otherwise but the last thing I need is another subscription service. have deleted and plan to find something else.
Thought Id found the perfect app. Used it for a week then out of no where says trial ended. It never stated I was on a trial at any point else I wouldnt have wasted my time. Be more transparent and I wouldnt be so angry. Not paying £7.99 a month for an app. Disgusting. That is a ridiculous amount to expect.
By far the dumbest ai i ever saw. Lazy implementation of the app overall but the ai in particular is CONSTANTLY allucinating.
This app doesn't have a free plan, you're forced to subscribe to use the app
No manual insert, have to make a photo. Not really useful.
not free, should buy membership. chatgpt can do all that for free
there are so many app which are doing it for free they force you to buy don't like it
another expensive diet app. started out so good. what a shame.
you have to pay, at least say it when you install it not after few days
Asking for payment after 3 days. PS: It's not mentioned at first. so after logging data it asks payment.
Idk how this app has such good reviews. I've used it 2 days and have seen nothing but false data and incorrect math. Doesn't matter if you type in what you are or upload photos of labels. Total junk!
I was using it for 3 days and out of nowhere it popped a subscription demand whereas other apps are transparent about their subscription fee. Its like tricking people into using it and depend on the app and when its good they charge you a fee. Gimmick rather than honest. I wud not intall this anymore.
not worth it unless u wanna pay 10 dollar per month. great app aside from the fact that no one warns you its not free untill you are 2 days in. not that you have a free option.
Great app initially..but soon after a day you realize the free version is basically useless. Should have been senseful to keep it free.
what rubbish, don't use this
tldr- they use the cheapest AI model and it's always wrong. nice concept but alas the calculations it gives are way off. It may be that only after you pay it switches to the cheapest AI model, and it is extremely inaccurate to the point where it's always wrong. I put 250g of hummus and it just keeps saying 400kcal while chatgpt says it's 650-800kcal. And it happens all the time for every food to the point that you have to give him the calories yourself for it to just work.
good app, but after 4 days it will ask you to subscribe for 8$ a month, for just a simple ai that i can recreate in one day, and without any warning or notification it will require such subscription.
app is good although it should have a free forever plan
so easy to use. love the taking photo function. it's spot on every time. really helping with weight loss as i can track what I'm eating update. i now have to pay to add entries! not impressed. no where does it say you have to pay. now deleting
