Things I’d like to see: a list of everything I’ve journaled today without having to click through each meal. Ability to rearrange items on daily journal (i.e. move water to the top). Change meals for my schedule- if I switch lunch and dinner the app doesn’t recognize that I switched meat and IP food. Video badge stays on 1 unread all the time and I watch the weekly videos. Better way to sort favorites, maybe in categories like the IP foods are, or let me make my own categories. Glad there’s an app, it’s still better than paper, but it needs work. For what this program costs I expected a more intuitive app.

If you’ve got insulin resistance, or have been disappointed by other diets, Ideal Protein is for you. It works! There isn’t a lot of tracking, but there are a few things like meals, supplements, water intake, etc. to keep track of and that’s where the app comes in. To be clear, it’s great to have an IP app and it beats the pants off of manually tracking everything. But, the IP app is at a “version 1.0” level—it does what it is supposed to do, it is user-friendly, and it is reliable. But it could use a lot of polish. The main problem is that it takes multiple steps to log things. Mandatory items should be a check box list on each day. When there’s a choice, like what IP meal or veggie you ate, then show the list. When the user wants to add an optional/arbitrary item to the list, have a plus box that calls up the list. That would be much better than the current design, which requires you to search the list for the same things (especially supplements) every single day. The Apple Health integration should be improved also, especially the water logging. Lots of apps track water. For example, I use HidrateSpark, which integrates with my Bluetooth water bottle and tracks water intake in Apple Health for me. IP’s app should just pick up on water from Apple Health and not force us to tap an “add 2 oz” button 50+ times a day, or at least let us enter the water manually. In sum, the app is OK, does the job, but could be better. I do disagree with the reviewers saying that Ideal Protein is expensive or rolling in money. The program replaces all but one of your meals every day (except veggies) and is designed to be cost neutral, and I find it is a great value for money. Most importantly, it really works!

I signed up for this on the recommendation of my doctor. I called and ordered the initial food pack and had to buy their scale ($75) but then received no furthur instructions on how to get started or set up the scale. Over a week later and when I was about to return it all, I got a call from one of their "coaches" who got me all set up. At first it was good and she communicated with me but then when it was time to order more food things went south. There was never an order form with costs so I gave her a rundown of stuff that I thought I would like. It ended up costing over $800. She also forgot to submit my order so I didn't receive my main order and she had to submit it again so all I had were the dessert items so had to wait to get fully started again. She then ghosted me after receiving my expensive food so now I'm out a program and stuck with loads of terrible food. Do not recommend this program at all.

Please- I beg you- take some of the millions you’re making over there at Ideal Protein and hire a team of experts to make this app truly competitive. We, your customers, are spending a pretty penny for your product and that should reflect in the quality of the application. It’s a decent interface but, for example, I can’t even see a calorie count, or my macros! Or what I’ve eaten in a day without tediously scrolling through each meal. Those should be basic, fundamental functions of a diet app. Are you actually wanting to help people? Then put sone money here. It’s a digital world, IP: Wake up!!
