★★★★★ "Required a subscription to log more than 5 items per day. I thought this was a great app. Ease of tracking my meals until my free trial ran out and then it restricts you to 5 entires per day. So a warning to anyone who likes to itemize their meals do not use this app!" - Noryxi

Fed up
I got fed up with the app asking for a rating, so I gave it 1 star to get rid of the interruptions.
What am I paying for???
I’m so annoyed that I pay for a year subscription to this app and literally every other day it doesn’t work!!! Fix the app or give me my money back!!
Thoughts
Too many questions
I just want to count my calories
I started to fill out the new to app info. It got to ask where if you have an eating disorder. I do. It has been really hard to talk about it. The app gave a pop say that the app may not be best I should see a doctor. Well I downloaded this app to help me track my calories instead of just using a notebook. It will not let you finish setup if you select that option.

Try monthly before yearly
App won’t change from recording weight in “stones & pounds” - I’m not from the UK - I have no idea what that means. I’ve tried 3 times to edit profile from stones to pounds, but it repeatedly reverts back to stones.
Wouldnt let me in
Im at a healthy weight but struggle to keep it that way due to not getting enough calories. When I said I wanted to maintain my weight it wouldnt let me in, i tried restarting the app but it still locked me out. It had no problem letting me gain or lose weight despite the fact both would be incredibly unhealthy for me.
Nice but don’t want to subscribe
I liked this one but they will only let you put in 5 entries on free version. After that you have to subscribe.
Deceitful
Nice app but they don’t tell you until day 7 that it’s a free trial. Honest would work better.
Not Free
This app gives you a free trial period. After that you can only enter 5 diary entries a day unless you pay.
Decent app subscription not for a family plan
Pretty decent app compared to others. Very similar in functionality and the scanning feature to main apps. I paid for the yearly subscription thinking everyone on the family account could use it together but it doesn’t allow for that, so disappointing on that aspect.
Bugs
For an app that you have to pay 7 dollars monthly for, it sure has a lot of “temporary errors”. I feel like more often than not this app is bugging out. Annoying.
Not worth a subscription
This app was fine for calorie counting, easy to use interface, synched easily with my other fitness apps. Once the free trial ends, you can only log 5 foods per day which is useless, and then they want you to pay $7 per month to log your calories and I think that is outrageous. A subscription service should have changing content every month otherwise what am I paying for? I would have been happy to pay a flat $3 -$5 dollar fee for this app but I don’t need a monthly charge for a product that essentially stays the same.
Amazing
I have literally lost 23 lbs since downloading this app in march! Thankyou nutra check!!!
Had some potential.
The app is painfully slow and many of the food calorie counts are inaccurate. I like the layout and that I can sync my burned calories information, but the app should fix the lagging and incorrect calorie information.
