Rating
Wish I could rate lower.
7 day free trial
I signed up for a 7 day free trial, and it charged me.
Monthly Payments
Give me a monthly payment option
Outdated food
Most of the recommendations are things that at no longer served.
Trash app
Can’t even add different macros like extra chicken or black beans. Rip off of an app
Charged me
Charged me after canceling my subscription a long time ago and deleting the app… Do better y’all, you don’t need this app to see what’s slightly healthier at your pathetic fast food junk stores
>$10/mo and still using ai graphics
I’m not going to subscribe to something that won’t even put enough effort in to get PNGs of fast food.
Useless
Downloaded this app hoping for fun easy ways to cater to my needs and see better alternatives at restaurants. It asked a bunch of questions when I downloaded it. I even bought the one month subscription just to realize it didn’t pay attention to anything that I put in when it was asking me all of those questions and proceeded to only give me meat options. The settings you can’t even change just absolutely abysmal app really disappointing if somebody is using this for the first time trying to get healthier, I thankfully was only planning to use it as an extra tool.
do not try the free trial
tried the 3 day free trial and canceled it even removed the app and it charged me for the full year horrible app
FAKE APP DO NOT DOWNLOAD
Forces you a 3 day trial and purchases
Subscription
They won’t let me cancel my subscription I keep getting charged for unwanted subscription
SCAM
I wanted to try the free 3-day trial, and they charged me for the full year as soon as I accepted it
Lean bites
It’s tryna force me to pay 30 when I haven’t use the app now I can download anything without paying it
Double charged
Upgrade my phone, once to sign back into the app and it’s requiring me to purchase another premium membership even though I already have a premium membership. No option to restore my purchase
Scam
Who knew we lived in a fat country that we have to pay even more extra for health advice! Thank god I’m skinny, however the other fat slobs that need this app, it charges
2/10
No real use of modifying your meals or substitutions for the price and not many options beside big fast food chains
No results
I search for meals in my area and it does not show any results for any of the categories.
Pay wall
Imagine promoting ads claiming the app is free but as soon as you set up everything after a dumb questionnaire then get hit with a pay wall and the worst part its a subscription 🙄
Refund
So I tried out the free trial, and it ended, but it didnt even warn me that it was about to end, now my college debt is even bigger, and now $32 is out of my account, can I please get my money back and warn people?
Paywall
Another app and it’s function stuck behind a subscription based paywall, get better
NO 3 day trial
The took the full amount of the subscription way too early. I don’t even want the app anymore. I should be billed once I see if I like the app AFTER THE TRIAL.
Needs work
This is not worth paying for- yet. The idea in your advertisement is solid. An app that suggests foods and swaps and restaurants to maintain your nutrition goals. However, the app is a disappointment. The only macros it watches are calories, fat, protein. And it doesn’t search very deep. A chocolate chip cookie is a low-fat option from McDonald’s. Not because it’s a good choice, but because the calories are lower than an actual sandwich. You can’t make a profile to adjust settings and even the leave feedback button doesn’t work. Cool idea, but feels like it was made as a school project.
Plan upgrades
Honestly this app sucks, can’t even use it unless I upgrade my plans, app get stuck on the screen that says upgrade plan I’m not gonna pay to use an app When all I’m looking for is information on the food I don’t need the meal plans or any of the extra that comes with the plan
Need to pay before you see your macros
They offer a free trial, but you need to signup before you get to see what your macros are.
All the data is wrong
all the data seems to be wrong. The macros are off. It doesn’t have all the menu items and barely has that many restaurants.
Horrible
You need to pay as soon as you download it and is not even good
No purchase option
I prefer to own the apps that I use so not being able to permanently own the app is a huge downside for me.
AI SLOP
Wants you to pay for their app to be filled with ai photos of people hands gone, face distorted, and just horribly wrong. When you could be easily buying real stock photos, don’t bother with this app. Probably uses AI with their meals too which is totally unreliable, just find lower calorie options on the menus.
Not worth paying for
The moment you open the app you can’t access it to see how it work you forcefully have to put your card info in just to use it 3 day free pass but I still have to provide my card info really
Stole my money
I bought a yearly subscription and once it took my money out, it said I didn’t have a subscription. The next day I tried to use the app again and it still said that I didn’t have a subscription. I want a refund, I paid $20 for this app, hoping it will work and it stole my money. Not only that but the nutrition facts were very off and was not the same at all!
Don’t bother downloading
So I saw the ads and thought this app would be cool to download and learn some new eating out tricks. But the second you download it asks you some questions. Cool. But then it try’s to make you a “meal plan” like I didn’t ask for a meal nor do I need one! There is no free version of this app to even be able to look at a few things it’s either you buy access to the app or you sit at the “start your meal plan” page. I get it the developers need to make money but this is annoying
Don’t waste time or info
Fully paid so no minor free options free trial is way to short and requires subscription before even allowing free 3 days without trying to steal info, data and money. Not worth even putting your info as they lead you on and take your survey data. Not worth it and at this point I guess just do it yourself or use chat gpt tbh instead of supporting apps like those where couldn’t get far enough to even try it.
Inaccurate
Almost every food option was incorrect. I spent an hour comparing different foods to the restaurants nutrition facts, and they were all wrong by a lot. I was disappointed because when I’m out with friends, I panic when they want to go to fast food restaurants and I thought this was going to make it easier, but it was just a giant tease. Everything said it was less calories than what it actually was, and as somebody trying to lose weight, this could have ruined my progress. One “low-calorie item“ was a six pack of cookies. This app said “serving size one pack 120 cal” I looked it up and it’s 120 cal for one cookie. All of the pictures included more items than what was in the description. They were very misleading and made it look like you could get a lot of food for less calories.
Disappointment
Only has a few restaurants on here and even looking up major restaurants it doesn’t have it. Uses AI pictures and not accurate. Just do your own research on a restaurant when you go eat, no need for this app
Bad
You have to subscribe to use
Waste
If this was free it makes sense, but it’s crazy how I could literally just use my human eyes to go look at what is healthier instead of being a lazy bum who needs to pay money for a computer to tell him to eat grilled chicken instead of crispy 💀💀 if you’re paying the money for this app I can guarantee you’re an idiot who can’t just use they’re eyes and go look for yourself
Only fast food
This app only shows big chain restaurants I.e. McDonalds, Starbucks, Burger King, Dominos, KFC. No healthy restaurants included.
not many options
i live in a city with hundreds upon hundreds of restaurants. why do i have to pay money to see only 5 fast food restaurants?! also, there’s no description for meals. “chicken protein bowl” yet no description on what that means. is just the chicken 300 calories? does it include rice?? if this app was free i wouldn’t complain, but making you pay for this is kinda BS.
Ai
Weird ai photos. And a lot of the items- including the descriptions weren’t on any menus for these stores and didn’t exist. Atleast at my locations, which if the app needs my location it should have what’s available to me on there.
App doesn’t work
I downloaded the app and from the beginning it will not let me search anything no matter what food or what city. It just says no meals available. App is trash
suggestion
the suggestions provided is inaccurate and misleading. products like grilled chicken from kfc is listed but no longer available. they charge for a service that's not doing the advertised service and use ai like chatgpt rather then verifying it themselves.
Outdated Maps
We haven’t had a Dunkin’ Donuts ANYWHERE in the state of Oregon in at least 20 years. Also, we haven’t had a Chili’s since roughly 2015.
Free
I think this is a good app but I feel it should be free
Misleading ads
The ads promote optimized menu recommendations but it’s just telling you what is high protein and what isn’t. It doesn’t optimize or suggest substitutes for an order for you.
You need to pay
I mean the concept is cool. Ive lost 25 lbs so far already. I can do it by myself but I just wanted to see if I could find healthier options while going out. But you have to pay for a subscription for other things that I do not need. Don’t pay for this, you can easily use google and do a little more research for yourself.
App is okay but nothing special to be behind a paywall
Not worth paying for something like this. All of the information it gives you, you can find with one search online. The only convenience this has is that is all in one app. But im not gonna pay for an app that im only going to use on my cheat meal once every two weeks.
