This app said that I should only eat 879 calories per day to reach my goal to lose 40 pounds. No one should be eating that little. That is so unsafe.
u have to pay for evrything
Just downloaded after a recommendation and it keeps closing and says there's a bug. Tried uninstall and reinstall and same thing. Anything I click on closes the app. Glad I didn't pay yet
worked great until this new update, now all it does is crash and is completely unusable. needs to get fixed ASAP
Stop changing the UI. Too many prompts to upgrade to paid version.
back to one star bc you broke it again. major changes with no explanation and doesnt seem to work
I found the units for the food listing to be terrible. how much is a "Serving"? or how big is a "container"? descriptions like that are totally worthless to me. I could find no way of adjusting the amounts to reflect my reality without using the ai tool (in the premium $ upgrade) I couldn't even properly track my first breakfast. I deleted app immediately.
This app fell short of expectations. With a price tag of $70, I had anticipated a more streamlined intuitive interface. This was not my experience. Unfortunately, the layout and calculation process for macros is cumbersome. Overall, the app's usability lags behind its competitors.
can't get past paywall for premium version. I just want to try the free one!
the new look is confusing and the layout is not easy on the eyes
Been using for about a year now and this latest UI change takes it from a 4.5 to a 2 star app. Ii might look prettier but it's a complete mess from a usability standpoint point. Click something and the entire screen becomes overrun with things that used to be neatly locked in place. Start at the bottom of the screen, then close the keyboard I don't need, then go to the very top before having to scroll down and back to the top corner to add food. Who tested this and said YES!!! This is insane.
STOP CHANGING THE UI Otherwise, this is a fantastic app.
just average, does nothing special and definitely not worth the extra subscription fee. would not recommend as there are better options.
was great for a while, now it's really buggy, syncing doesn't work (logged back in and out and lost everything I logged today). cant scan food using ai as an empty box randomly appears preventing me doing anything. Shame as this could be good but I'm stuck on premium for another 10 months so hope it improves.
I'm seeing conflicting data between the foods programed in the database and what's actually on the nutritional facts label. The app does not allow me to make necessary adjustments so it can match.
Good job on making it difficult to record food with yesterday's update. small window at bottom and tiny confirm check in the top right corner is bad ui.
