I spotted this app on an iPad in a UK Apple store and decided to give it a go. After the initial trial, I was so impressed that I bought a lifetime subscription! It is constantly updated with improvements, and my only hope is that it is not over bloated with unwanted features, which has stopped me using other calorie counting apps; and trust me I've tried them all! There are a few things it could do better, for example a search doesn't always bring up my starred ⭐️ options straight away. Also, I would like a way of hiding a food from my previously chosen list, as many times I chose food in error and have replaced it with something else. Also, I'd love the option to choose from more than one database; my partner is Italian and a lot of the items we buy food items that originate from Italy. I would also, when searching, would like to be able to specify whether to search a database, my own created recipes or my own created meals. Additionally, the creation of recipes and meals could do with a little refinement. I know I have mentioned a few things but trust me, this is still a great app and I'm sure it will only get better. A big thank you to the YAZIO Team.

Overall this is a handy app with some fun little graphics and animations that give a nice dopamine kick to keep you going. Flaws, however, include a slightly confusing layout for adding recipes. It’s not obvious how you create a slightly different version of a recipe you’ve created before eg. one night you have chilli sauce with tortillas and maybe the next night you reuse the sauce but put it with rice. It’s not easy to create two different versions of the same recipe. I also HATE the “Tips” they give you after adding to each meal and I can’t seem to turn them off. I keep pressing “Skip Meal Tips” and thumbs down when they ask if they’re helpful, but I’m still getting them. It’s not that the tips aren’t valid but if I wanted someone commenting on every single little thing I ate, I’d go and live with my mother (which, frankly, is how I got into emotional eating and weight gain in the first place…!). I want to be able to have a small piece of chocolate within my calorie allowance without someone coming along and suggesting I choose fruit instead. These tips need to be optional as you’re dealing with people who have years of emotional baggage around food and eating habits, and they need to be able to stop the commentary. Other than those niggles, nice app at a reasonable price.

So I have been using this for a few weeks ow and I have some comments to make, perhaps you can make some changes. First, at the beginning I entered my weight and the app reported that I had 15 weeks left until I reached my goal... now admittedly the process it’s a lot slower and I believe this must be week 6 or 7 that I am using the app, but because I lost only 2.7 kilos since it’s still says 12 weeks left... It would be nicer if it told me when I actually started my diet and how many weeks of the challenge I have left to put some pressure as well... otherwise it feels like I have all the time in the world.Second, sometimes I reach my carbs and protein limits but I still have something like 1000 calories to reach, especially the days I workout. But the app doesn’t adjust to this, so if I workout can I consume more carbs or is there a way to reach my calories without carbs proteins or fat? This is a bit disappointing as it always lets me thinking that I am not doing this properly. I will give it some more time and see how it goes.

I was gagging for a proper MyFitnessPal replacement - that app is old, slow and a nightmare to use. Plus it also doesn’t give me a good clear and consistent indication on where I am with my weight loss goal. YAZIO completely solves that: it’s sexy, slick, modern looking, really snappy and gives me a good clear progress indication. However... the one thing that needed to also do: food tracking, is so much worse, to the point of being pointless. I really wanted to give this a go, but I can’t even find normal stuff from Sainsbury’s (just searched for a morning roll, there was nothing!). Tried scanning some of my past packets there, e.g., Sainsbury’s fusilli pasta, nothing. I mean... this was and is the strength of MyFitnessPal, it gives you access to this huge database of items and their nutritional values... I think I could be bothered to enter those manually if YAZIO was completely free - yes, it really is that good - but given you need Pro to access loads of important features, then I can’t see how after paying for a pro subscription they expect me to manually enter almost all of my food items, and have a much smaller food item database. Such a shame... I really wanted this one to work. Back to MyFitnessPal... :-(
