★★★★★ "Calorie counter. Too many obstacles in trying to put what food you eat into the program it doesn’t allow you to say two eggs or one piece of toast. Everything must be weighed per ounce. No place to put a restaurant name into the equation." - Cheryldm5

Doesn't count calories correctly! Scan doesn’t work !!!
Doesn't count calories correctly! I had to double check everything, don’t trust this app! The scan doesn't work either!
Weak Data base -
Expectation was that a scan data base would be in place similar to higher cost applications available. Instead a data base with every portion size defaulted to 3.5 oz vs portion sizes tied to nutritional information. It is actually easier,quicker ( and free ) to use the free version of “ my fitness app” And just manually key vs scan the items you want. If I have to build a data base for every item and back into portion sizes and pull info off of company data bases.
Lame app would not recommend.

Not as advertised
The app doesn’t know any barcodes I have scanned. All of the food I have added manually have incorrect data. Hard to use and takes too much time to enter in foods. Don’t waste your money.
Not ready for prime time
I used ww app and it was so easy but I think this is still gathering data. Wanting us to do the work. Everything I looked up they didn’t know. Or serving size was 3.5 grams. Huh?
Don’t buy it!
Doesn’t work, can’t get a refund, and there’s no way to connect to developer!
requires a subscription to log food/calories
useless without this feature, but you have to have a subscription to use it.
These reviews are all fake
Every review for this app is obviously fake
Horrible Calorie Tracking
You have to convert anything you add to 100g before adjusting it in your plan. It’s ridiculous.
