Normally I wouldn’t pay for subscriptions to anything weight loss related, but this app was something I hadn’t seen before so I decided to start a free trial. I didn’t expect to love it as much as I do. I’ve always struggled with balancing losing weight and eating out, but this made it SO easy, and it’s very simple to use. It makes hitting my goals a lot easier, it helps for restaurants that don’t have calories on their menu, and it even had me realizing a lot of foods I like are way lower in calorie than I’d realized before! Honestly it’s just a really great app and i definitely recommend it to anyone who eats out a bit and wants to be healthier.

I downloaded this app to try and have easy access to low calorie options at fast food places. I usually check calories on my own before ordering, but I wanted a way to shake things up and get some different ideas from what I usually order. Unfortunately, I used this app twice and the calorie counts were completely off both times. Once at Tazikis (Mediterranean cafe in the south) and once at McDonalds. Both times, the calorie counts for the meals I had selected were off by over 200 calories compared to the restaurant’s website. Both times, MenuFit advertised the meals as lower calories than they actually were. At Tazikis this was a 28% error and at McDonalds it was a 40% error. This is extremely disappointing for an app whose entire purpose is to promote healthy eating at fast food. A 200 calorie difference every time you eat at a restaurant will add up extremely quickly. I could not justify continuing to use this app (or especially to pay for the app) when both of my attempts to use it had been completely useless. I would like to see MenuFit adjust their calories to be accurate to what is published by the restaurant.

I was very skeptical about the app at first. However, after using it during the trial period, I decided to continue using it. It allows you the ability to personalize options that best for your lifestyle. I chose weight loss and muscle gain. So, whenever I’m at a restaurant, I pull up the app and enter where I’m at. The app then creates two options for me from the menu, one for weight loss and another for muscle gain. I use it no matter which restaurant I am at. As of yet, I have not gone to a restaurant in which it can not pull the menu.

You go through all these customization questions only to find out there’s a subscription requirement to even access the app itself. I mean literally the app itself. You cannot bypass it. There is no free version. No free trial. Nothing. You just answer their questions then you pay to get into the app at all. Not giving an opinion on if it’s worth it or not to pay for the app because this misleading nature was enough to turn me away from ever using the app regardless. If it were available on the AppStore as an app you have to pay for, fine, that’s not misleading but having it (and advertising it) appear you don’t need to pay to use the app is false advertising, misleading, and all around a scam. Do better. If you have to lie or mislead to trick people into downloading and using your app, you need to make a better app.
