I can't get anything
Completely useless. Unable to change anything. Waste of time and money.
Don't get this... it's impossible to figure out how to cancel once in... it's a revolving circle .
I got the membership and still can't get anything to load in a timely manner because of all the ads. Now I'm going to cancel.
it just keeps spinning and spinning and spinning
I tried for 30 min to create an acct and kept getting error messages. Uninstaller. Don't waste your time
products are too expensive and there's no way to get help once an order is placed. They have an email form but they send a form letter telling you how busy they are. There's zero customer service help. With the exorbitant prices you know they can afford to hire customer service help. Typical business that wants your money but couldn't care less about you once they get your money. Horrible way to run a business.
Requires you to select low carb or keto to sign up. I'm looking for an app to track my macros and micros to make sure I'm getting enough. I have no interested in lowering or eliminating anything other than animal products from my diet (since I'm vegan). I didn't get past 3/4 of the sign up because you're required to select either low carb or keto to create an account. I have no interest in either, and I specifically wanted something that was nutrition focused *not* diet focused.
Not user friendly
I downloaded this app because I like the recipes on the website. Once you have an account and use the app, recipes that are free on the website are suddenly locked behind a paywall. Don't waste your time! Just use the website!
too difficult to get signed in with my own password
Crashes every single time as soon as it's opened. Reinstalled several times with no luck.
Recipes not opening
I live in Canada, can't add ingredients from here. tells me not found.
This morning and few other times, I've tried to open this app but i keep getting this message "Opps! Something went wrong." Please fix this issue.
I have cancelled my membership but the app is still charging my credit card. Pleae fix the issue fast.
Too aggressively trying to force me into purchasing a subscription. If it continues, I will be uninstalling the app soon.
I wish I could have the whole app for free. Because I cannot afford it. But I need it. It would be easier. And also when I use the free app. It keeps spinning and spinning and it is real slow.

I've just started using te app, and while the recipes look good, the app is horrible for loading the recipes. Waiting a minimum of 5 minutes just fr the recipe to load. I rated 2 stars instead of 1 because even though I can't read the recipes, some look tasty. Not very user findly either. 😒
Was hoping for A LOT less bugs. The meal planning and recipe function is a lot more annoying than anticipated. I am constantly running into errors and bugs. I honestly think I'd rather go with paper... It's unfortunate because the design is good and it has SO much potential
I between a 2 and a 3 for this app.. it has a great macro tracker and the basic recipes are good. I especially like that you can scale the. Up or down easily. The meal prep planner and shopping list works great when using the apps recipes. The down side.. The food search is extremely limited if you eat anything besides the app recipes. DONT even try to add your own recipe or meal. It's worse than terriblly clunky and frustrating. Its a useful app Falls very short in a few areas.
Basic uses you pay and I own the book
Too complicated to use. I can't see a way I can add my own foods too. There are some delicious meals. This could be an amazing app. Unfortunately for me it's not user friendly.
Best to use if not customizing foods: This is a great app to use if you ONLY cooked from Maya's meal plans. I instantly had issues when I tried to add a keto coffee recipe. There is no database for me to pull nutrient info from and I was expected to add the macro info for the whole recipe in one go. For the price (I signed up for a year, which is still $50 total), customizing foods should be possible and easy. *However, if you plan to ONLY cook from Maya's recipes, this is the app for you.
Beautiful but no one place to go directly to get info without drudging thru verbosity.
