Annoyed no that it keeps prompting me to rate the app
09/03/2018

The developer responded to my 1 star review which made me feel kind of like a jerk for leaving a negative review in anger over the prompting for a review, which is apparently not their fault. The prompting for a review was still annoying but I appreciate the response so I’ll change it to 5 stars. As soon as I started using it, it kept prompting me to rate the app so I’m giving it a 1 star in the hopes that the prompting will go away. I have no idea if the app is any good since I haven’t really started using it yet. Furthermore I would suggest that most of the ratings it does have are from similar circumstances where people just rated it to get the prompts to go away and don’t don’t really have any idea if the app was good or not. So annoying. Hopefully it really is a good app and eventually I’ll be able to give it a better rating, but I doubt I would be motivate to go back and write another review. You can tell how annoying the prompts were since I’m typing so much.

Very underrated

I think I found this app before The Most Popular fitness tracker gained so much traction, and tbh this app is still superior. The UI is so easy for me to navigate, it’s affordable, and the database of food has grown so much. I also love the long list of different types of exercise, and even though estimating calories burned is not an exact science, I appreciate any ballpark number of extra calories that I need to eat so I don’t hurt myself. Seriously, I tried these other, more talked about apps, and I just don’t want to quit this one. It’s not freaky and aggressive in its wording about sticking to diets and militant exercise and cult-like branded phrasing, and the orange, yellow, and earth tone colors are more pleasant. I also love that it gives you a flexible target date, so you can also set your goal based on the number of calories you want to eat per day. (I like smaller calorie deficits.) Also, bravo for the warnings about going below 1200 calories! Keep being responsible, please!EDIT: I just deleted a star because I saw below what data they are collecting. Dude, collect my subscription money. Don’t invade my privacy like this. There is no reason to know my contacts, etc. Also, this shouldn’t be an app for ages 4+. Toddlers don’t need to diet. Kids and teens should not be encouraged to diet either given the statistics on the body dysmorphia and eating disorders they develop for life. Thanks!

Hi Userfrom Austin, thank you for your review.
When the macros are wrong, which is very, very, very, very often
Sep 23

Zaronology
When the macros are wrong on a food, you have to input the entire thing all on its own. That wouldn’t be such a pain, as other apps do it, but those other apps typically let you copy the same information over and just adjust what you need for your own records. with this one, you have to submit the information with a picture, which is just absolutely ridiculous. It is so inconvenient and waste so much of your time to use this app. The more basic apps will suit you much better if you’re actually doing this on a daily basis. I thought that this app would give me more reports and things that would benefit me, I was wrong. The user experience on this app is very clunky, time consuming, and not intuitive. I honestly don’t understand how this app has such good ratings, unless it’s audience has never used a different type of app. None of them are perfect, but where they are not perfect they make it easy for you to make adjustments on your own without having to wait days for them to update the food for you to get an idea of what you’re really consuming. Other people may not take their diet as I do perhaps, but since I’m putting in the effort to do it anyway I wanna know down to the proper calorie, not have to make estimates or waste time having to do manual inputs because their data is an accurate.

I really wanted to like this app

I signed up for the 3 day free trial but was charged for the app even before the trial was finished. It’s already on my credit card! There are thing I do like about the app however, the scan feature barely ever works. I rarely eat any processed food. I home cook every thing I eat. Trying to input a food or recipe of my own is somewhat challenging. I add every ingredient and add the “grade” I think it is and it won’t save it. When I do manage to save one of my foods not listed in the database, it doesn’t show up under my foods. It’s possible that it’s just me and the learning curve to the app but it’s frustrating and 3 days just isn’t enough time to figure out if it’s worth the $. I have no problem with paying for an app that will work for me. The developers should be paid for their work. However, I need a little more time working with it to determine if it’s the right one for me AND it shouldn’t show up on my credit card BEFORE the trial is over! I’ve cancelled the app because of this. UPDATE: I received a response from the developer regarding the CC issue above, however I’ve gotten many free trial apps over the years via Apple and have never been charged immediately for a free trial. It’s always been after the trial has expired. Maybe it’s a new policy. If they fix the food addition issue and scan issues I’d would give it another try.

Hi LilBooBooBaby and thank you for your feedback. Please keep in mind that all transactions are made through Apple, we do not have any control over the checkout process. Our developers were informed about the bug that's causing custom recipes not to save and we're working on a fix. Thank you!
