  1. ★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Hasn’t been working correct correctly. We used to love this app, but now the barcode scanner never seems to work

  2. ★★★★slow performance and long loading times

    Cannot do simple things. Been using this App for sometime, however the performance has definitely declined. Not sure why does it keep loading while adding food??? This is a simple feature however it gets frustrating when you are unable to load the food. Developers need to fix this on their end otherwise, people are going to stop using this app.

  3. ★★★★data, history or progress disappears

    Deletes my records. I like how the app functions while I’m using it but it deletes my data multiple times throughout the day. Not worth it to have to relog everything

  4. ★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Frustrating. Just downloaded and paid for premium service. Can’t figure out how to add meal. For people who only eat processed food, Good luck starting with ingredients.

  5. ★★★★trial charges and refunds

    Wouldn’t download again. While this may be the best app in the world, I tried signing up for the 3 day free trial and was instantly charged for 6 months worth of use. I don’t even know if I like the app yet! Be careful when looking around, as almost everything you click leads you to signing up for a subscription!

  6. ★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Confused. Cannot figure out how to use this app at all. Instructions are not helpful.

  7. ★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    App is broken right now. I dont know I recently had my app break after a few months because I cant log anything anymore!

  8. ★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Calculated macros incorrectly. I have been using this app for months to track protein vs fats. I have always felt like it seemed to be low, but haven’t had the time to double check. Just went through the last week of meals. I log everything. Yesterday alone, it was off by 40grams of protein. I’m not even going to bother looking at how off the carbs have been. What a waste.

  9. ★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Awful.. After you press on + to add your food the button “ADD” located so high up in right corner that it takes some serious skills to hit it! If you looking at your phone and wonder : see signal bars and battery charge logos on your phone? This application’s button will be covering those. I deleted app after I struggled to add items for lunch. “Ain’t no body got time” for pressing ADD multiple times.

  10. ★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    exercise. I can’t add my exercise expect steps

  11. ★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Won’t Save My entries. Doesn’t save anything I enter and the back button works only periodically.

  12. ★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Update App. Using with an iPhone 14 Pro max and non of the buttons on the top of the interface will work. Have to quit out of app each time.

  13. ★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Want to love it.. Really enjoy the layout and easy access to consumed foods& macros however, it does not calculate macros correctly!! After scanning barcodes on numerous items app claims, I have eaten 77 g of carbs, when in fact, only had 10! Shows Consumed only 19 g of protein when I had a scoop of protein powder that was 30 g of protein! Very unfortunate!

  14. ★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Doesn’t work. If I could give zero stars I would. Kept trying to force me to buy premium just to use it

  15. ★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Horriable !. I can’t even see what they reccomended me to eat unless I pay and they specifically wrote don’t pay to count calories then proceed to make me pay I don’t think so !

  16. ★★★★trust in the number is a tracker's only asset, AI trades it for a guess and the product…

    Saved foods disappear. I have input breakfast and lunch twice. Logged in to input evening meal and first two meals gone again. Looking for another calorie tracker. Thought I had found a good one. Guess not

  17. ★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Unable to input the food items. I would give this app more stars if I could enter my food items on a consistent basis. Sometimes it lets me enter what I ate and sometimes it doesn’t.

  18. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Completely stopped working. Can’t add any new foods or exercises. Very disappointed.

  19. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Update is not working. The update won’t let me add quick calories and now I can’t search for what I need to add. This app was great and now I’ll need to find another one.

  20. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    I wanted to like it. This app has the potential to be so much better than it is. I have used other food tracking apps and this is definitely not as easy as they were. I like that it’s simpler, but it could be made better as far as adding foods and adding the same foods you eat often. I shouldn’t have to find the food, hit add and then hit add again to make it show up for the day. Also when removing you have to hit remove then save it at the end. Unnecessary. I should babble just to remove from the main screen. If you are using the app on more than one device it takes a long time to update to the second device. Also unnecessary. Someone who actually uses the device needs to help with changes.

  21. ★★★★★a long onboarding quiz torches activation for people who came just to count calories

    Not User Friendly, features??. A few things here…I chose this because my previous app had too many features. I want to count calories and restrict my diet. I like to go on a very strict diet for the first few weeks. I do very well on 1100 calories, and even 900 when I’m doing some fasting. This app doesn’t allow me to restrict my calories at all below 1200. I understand that it’s trying to keep me from being unhealthy, but it’s MY call. I don’t need a caloric big brother/babysitter. Furthermore, I could not find a way to do anything. I couldn’t figure out how to use the non premium version? I expect ads for the premium version but it wouldn’t let me do anything, at all, except take me to websites. Overall: no thanks! I’ll go back to my previous one that had too many features.

  22. ★★★★★data, history or progress disappears

    Great app until it just failed on me. I have been using this app for almost 2 weeks now and it has been great. The tracking is so helpful and they give great nutrition tips. Today I tried adding a snack to my tracking and it wouldn’t load or let me add. I kept resetting my phone and then I finally deleted the app and downloaded it again. I tried ti get back in and all my data was gone and it was a completely new account even though I used the same email. I tried logging in and out and it would just show me a loading screen and never fully log in. I’m so mad all my data is gone and all my meals from the past weeks is deleted. I loved this app and it’s features were so good compared to others but it completely disappointed me.

  23. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Insanely difficult to find basic foods. This app was not designed for use on a new iphone. The interface glitches constantly , buttons dont function as they should. If you can get past the insanely annoying lack of simple functionality, let's address the menu shortcomings. Try and find something as simple as an unsalted cooked egg white...nope. How about unseasoned ground turkey. The list goes on and on...the most basic foods prepared by themselves are next to mpossible to find yet an obscure frozen dinner pops up no problem....after weeks of trying to make this infuriating app worked, I uninstalled it.

  24. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Changing calorie calculator. It doesn’t allow you to be too specific with certain food item entry’s. And the “calories left” changes several times a day.

  25. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Stopped working. App no longer loads any food lists, history also gone. Not sure what broke in the new release but unusable now.

  26. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Looking up food. I’m not able to look up food. It never searches for anything.

  27. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Needs to work on more things but great app. I like the app it’s more simple then other apps but today it just stopped working for me I could not add my calories in, it was just the loading screen and it never loaded, but I deleted the app and signed into my account again and it worked again thankfully all my data was still there , but the loading screen was my only issue

  28. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Title. It keeps lagging and not showing the meals I add to it

  29. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    HELP! App Is Broken for Me. I’ll update to 5 stars if we can get this fixed. I’ve been using the app for a little while and I have been loving it, but as other users expressed, my app suddenly broke and I cannot log anything as far as meals, water, etc. I don’t want to delete and redownload the app as other users reported losing their entire account by doing so. Help!

  30. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Wonderful features for free version. Please fix the macros. As the last reviewer mentioned, I noticed the macro counter is pretty off. Please fix this! Other than that, out of like 12 other apps on the AppStore, this is the only one that allows me to track a list of macros along with my water, and calories, and also connects with health to track daily steps. Many other apps do these things, but none of them do all at once like Oatsy does. The rest have one feature or another locked behind the paywall. Please fix the macro counter though.
