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

   Joke!. After 24 hours the scan picture won’t pick up items and says 0 calories for beer, food etc- Absolutely a joke!!

2. ★★★★★inaccurate results and incorrect data

   Not worth it. Not accurate at all, can’t change the servings from 1 serving to half or less. The scanner isn’t right!! What a waste of money!!

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

   Stopped allowing me to search for food items. This app worked well for the first few days, albeit be with the inaccuracy of calorie estimations others have identified. Then, each time I tried to add a food item and used the search feature, I got a pop-up asking me to sign up for the $36.99 yearly plan, which I had already purchased. I was able to enter water and any item I had used in the past, but not any new foods. I did go to the App Store and update the app as had been suggested in a prior review, with no improvement. I have submitted a Help request but received no response.

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

   Charged me twice. I was charged twice and when I tried to contact SnapCal none of their emails worked.

5. ★★★★★inaccurate results and incorrect data

   Not good, avoid.. I do not understand how this has such high ratings. The UI is polished but the results are really inaccurate and I found several issues with barcode scanning in general.

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

   Not worth the money. The ai scanner is not consistent when scanning and measuring food. Information when bar code scanned is not consistent and when you want to edit to add the correct information it will not let you do it. Frustration is what you get for $38.99

7. ★★★★★inaccurate results and incorrect data

   Trash. This app is complete trash. I switched my phone and couldn’t log in my account, also the calories are way off. It gives you wrong information

8. ★★★★★inaccurate results and incorrect data

   Stopped accurately recording food. I have been using this app for several months with no issues. However, several days ago, while scanning QR codes, the calorie count was 8-10 times higher than it should be. I turned my phone off hoping this would “reset” things but it continues to be incorrect. I do not want to manually input all my food correctly. I have contacted the company with no response. I would like my money refunded so I can try another app.

9. ★★★★★trial charges and refunds

   Sneaky! Charged in 48 hours. Sadly, no way to track water or supplements. And charged high fee way before trial was over.

10. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Disappointing. At first, this app looked promising. However, it was full of bugs and half of it stopped working after 2 days even though I still had an active subscription. It did not track workout data even though Health+ was connected and all options were enabled. After two days, the top widget that specifies the remaining calories went completely empty. Taking a picture of a nutrition label was never accurate. Lastly, there is no account creation so you lose data if you delete the app or download on a different device.

11. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Doesn’t work, premium ads are extremely bothersome. Tried to log a meal by using the ai scanner. Didn’t work. I suppose it’s only for the paid account. Tried to scan the barcode. Didn’t work. Not to mention after EVERY user interaction, an ad pops up to subscribe to the premium account. Horrible user experience and is more annoying to use it. I’d rather use any other app because the whole purpose is to make logging food quick, but with all the pop ups and having to manually enter every entry, it takes twice as long to log food than a different app or just using pen and paper. the app just isn’t worth the trouble. ALSO- their recipes look yummy but don’t write how much 1 serving is equal to… 100g? 20g? It doesn’t say so the calorie and macro counts don’t have any value if you don’t know the serving size

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

    Change the grams and more. How do we change the calories on some products? I scanned a bar code and the product came up 5000g of protein. When it’s actually 50

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

    It costs money…. I HATE the apps that say “FREE!!!” But then once you go through all the steps… “oh but it costs monthly!!!” Such a waste of time.

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

    Not worth it. You have to pay to use this app! It’s not worth it.

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

    Do not buy!! Not worth your money!. Does not work half the time.

16. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Camera option. The calories are extremely inconsistent. A picture of the same meal varies by 300 cal. Also, the camera function stopped working midway through the week.

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

    Does not work as advertised. This app does not even recognize a sunny side up fried egg.

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

    No good. I too am very disappointed. Don’t buy.

19. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Don’t waste your money. I was interested in finding an app to assist in my journey to be a healthy eater but this is of no use. I didn’t read the reviews and signed up for the app. After I downloaded it, I tested it with 5 pre made meals that I do know the macros and micros and this app wasn’t even close to reality. After reading the reviews, it appears they are impossible to contact and as expected, very little chance of getting a refund.

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

    Does NOT feed AppleHealth. Seems logical that tracking app would be able to connect to AppleHealth to track food intake.

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

    Waste of money. I never review anything but this app has compelled me. I wanted to try it but the app can not tell the precise amount of of food on the plate nor can it know what is exactly in the food so there is no way to give an accurate calorie count. In addition, it gets food wrong. Doesn’t recognize many foods. It’s honestly a waste of money and life written to complain but no one has gotten back. This apparently was created by an 18 year old and it shows. Stay away from this one.

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

    Too time consuming. There’s no way to save a “favorite” so you have to re-enter your (e.g yogurt, banana) every time. The recent foods tabs only logs approx 7-10 things. EDIT don’t bother reaching out for help you’ll never hear back. It’s a huge time suck. Another update. Finally got a response from support OMG BOT generated response that answered nothing and provided zero help.

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

    Weight Loss. Let’s loose some weight.

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

    Not Usable. This app is hard to use. Unable to input portions of weight or servings. For example it isn’t possible to enter 1 & 1/2 cups of a food. Only choice is 1 or 2. Also most foods are listed as a “serving “. Does everyone know what a serving of every food is??

25. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Cannot track less than 1 serving. Exercise log cannot be altered and tracks double.. Not happy at all. Will be contacting Apple for a refund. The app is useless for the reasons I stated above. Sent feedback via app. No response. .

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

    Reliability. After a month of use the app quit working entirely

27. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Useless.. This ap worked good for less than a week. Now it won’t even open at all. It flashes when I try to open it then does nothing. Won’t even bring up a screen so I can’t even cancel the subscription. Deleted and reinstalled. Lost all my data. Worked for one day then says network error and won’t pick up anything. Don’t waste your money.

28. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Junk. I cannot cancel this. It’s junk. It doesn’t do those wonderful things that it shows it’s doing, it’s no better than a simple calorie counter – they’re free all over the place. I’m trying to get a refund. There’s absolutely no response. I think those five star ratings are a hoax

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

    Difficult. This app won’t let me enter my amounts. For instance if I type a food in and it says 1 oz but classifies it as a serving. What is a serving? And once I change anything such as weight it won’t let me log it. The app is too difficult to use

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

    …. I really don’t understand why this is 4 plus this can be dangerous to do if you yung your body is still developing.
