CDC is all you could ever hope for in a coaching app, at your fingertips for an affordable price. I recommend it highly to anyone who wants to take their goals to the next level with accurate science and a trusty little coach in their pocket. And the best part is, I know I’m in capable hands because it’s been carefully created by the best in the business over at Team Biolayne. This helps me to trust the process unconditionally — something I’ve struggled to do whilst simply ‘dieting’ on my own. My subscriptions to other apps — which only offered me a tool to enter metrics / food tracking — are now redundant, and I’m on track to my goals.

Regular MFP user from Australia and thought I’d try this out and see how it compares, as I have seen a lot of good reviews. On first glance, it is relatively easy to use and the check-in feature is cool, however there are a few sticking points which make me unsure about whether or not I’ll continue with a subscription: - Australian database is significantly smaller. Around 50% of food items I eat, I’ve had to enter in myself as it hasn’t recognised barcodes/brands or puts it in as a different flavour/incorrect macros than labelled. Overall the database is much smaller and ever for items eaten out, there haven’t been close matches and I’ve ended up having to track in MFP and ‘quick add’ the calories/macros for the meal to Carbon.- Was also expecting this app to adjust your macros on days to follow if you were to be under/over calories/macros, however you have to do this yourself manually. Not a biggie, but would make this app so much better if it was able to do this on its own. - Initial macros calculated for a deficit were WELL below what I’d consider putting myself on. Could be okay for gen-pop to use the coach to set macros, however if you’re a training athlete and have built your metabolism in off-season, you’re better off inputting your own maintenance calories and going from that. I understand it takes a while to get your data and set itself up more accurately, however the calories calculated initially were well below what I’d even be on at the end of a prep. - No option to add photos to track your progress visually along with weights. Would be a really cool feature to add, along with the option to add in body measurements. The app would be great if it were to be developed further with a greater database and more features.

I would wish to be able to track more things like micronutrients. Tracking foods can be a pain. For example I make my coffee at home. I use a specific soy milk. So for example I tried putting in: „Cappucino double shot with pure harvest unsweetened soy milk and 1 tea spoon honey.“ nope would do it. Instead it suggests cappucino‘s from different coffee shops or simply a cappucino without specifying the milk. But this is what makes the difference! Do I use normal milk or soy milk? Is it sweentened or unsweetened. Is my coffee a single shot or double shot. All things necessary for precise tracking. Then I tried a flat white. Same milk but I only put in föat white. When I tapped it it showed me an error. But when I choose a flat white from a coffee shop it works. Sorry but first day and already had enough.

Absolutely fabulous app. I’ve been tracking for years with different apps but have never been more confident that tracking data is correct. The coach is an amazing function making it exciting to check in and see where Coach will take you. It’s the next best thing to hiring a coach that not everyone has the luxury of being able to afford. Knowing that the people behind the algorithm are some of the best in that field. Customer service & satisfaction are top priority with the simplest of questions answered swiftly. Any teething issues that are expected with a new app were adjusted & rectified within days of the launch with regular updates .. there is obviously a lot of hours still spent by creators thinking of functions to only improve an already amazing app. Well done to a great team for an exceptional easy to use & affordable all in one online Coach.. well worth every dollar. At $10 week you can’t go past this app. 🇦🇺
