★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors
Disappointed User. Glitchy, basic but useful if you can put up with it not working the same way everyday.
★★★★★login, signup and account access
Used to be a good app. Unable to login and history for a week has didappeared. Whoever developed the idea was good but appears no one is watching the shop or fixing the issues.
★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
It does not allow me to describe my account. I can’t use this app. I have been trying for several days to deactivate my account and the website will not do it. It just says sorry try again
★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions
Ads are a problem. Have been using this app for a few years and built up a large data base. As of august 5 2024 the subscription for no ads is applicable. Going to the settings menu an looking at the ad free options it shows 1 month,3 month or one year. However none can be activated! I dont need google ads popping up every time I want to enter data. The program has helped me keep track of trends and helped in losing 35# and keeping it off. I will actively start with another ap to avoid the google nonsense.
★★★★★login, signup and account access
Waste of time. Look somewhere else. The app cannot create the user id in the backend database!! You enter your email and password to create the account and the app fails to do so. You get the error failed to create device; code 500. Contacting the developers is a total waste of time.

No just no. I hate this app it is not made for fast weight loss it’s for the healthy way 🙄 like it won’t even let me set calories below 1000 and you have to be over 18. I mean why tho it’s a weight loss app why you gotta be an adult to loss weight and their is other things.. and I just deleted the app so I didn’t get to use it a lot but just signing up I hated it

Scanning Food. I believe I signed up for this app yesterday. It was recommended by my dietitian and because it had a scanning feature. Personally, I think the scanning feature is worthless because out of about five products that I scanned, only one of them came up. The other four I would’ve had to input everything.

Frustrating. When I go to reports you cannot get out. So this app is useless. Not easy to navigate. I will delete on get one more user friendly.

Really lame calorie database. This app doesn’t have name brand foods and very little flexibility in recording amounts. Useless.
★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
Hardly any non-restaurant options. I wanted to like this app, but nearly every time I try to add a meal prepared at home, the only options are restaurant items. They need to get their food database expanded significantly.

Went back to paper logging. Old version was better and easier to view macros.
★★★★★search fails to find what is needed
Database limited. The database is limited it doesn’t have stuff that’s on the market or it’s hard to find. The scanner cant find it but a word search can. I don’t get how
★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors
App has crashed. App stopped working 4 days ago, will not record anything, continues to load same food repeatedly, regardless of what I enter. Have been using since June, no issues until now.No response from customer support.
★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors
Broken since iOS update to 16.1. Diary function unusable sine the update. Developers have been notified, but they have failed to update the app.
★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors
Broken! No support.. I have used this app for years, off and on, and loved it. Helped me lose 10-20 lbs. But it is no longer working since updating the IOS and support has not fixed it. No matter what food you add it adds the food as the last item I added since the update. I deleted the app and reinstalled with a new account setup and it continues to have the same problem. COMPLETELY UNUSABLE UNTIL THEY FIX THIS BUG.

Crappy tech support. Had this app for over 4 years. They never deal with any tech issues. You always have to delete the app and start over losing all your customized recipes, etc. I’m looking for a new app!!
★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
No longer works!!!!!. Needs to be updated!!!
★★★★★an update broke a familiar workflow
Does not work since the update to iOS 16. This app changes all of my entered foods to whole milk ever since I upgraded to iOS 16. Emailed support and they are “working on it” but it’s been weeks at this point and the app is totally unusable. I will just have to find another app, which is too bad because I really liked this one.

Update. You need to have up dates
★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors
Not working anymore. I am in love with this app and it’s helped me lose 45 pounds already! I updated to iOS 16 and now the app will only ever add one food item to my log. I select tortellini, it logs cheerios 😿

Don’t waste your time. Disappointed. Scanner never worked even on the most common brands. Had to jump around app to find macros. Trouble finding foods. Typed grilled chicken and it shows only restaurants. Not user friendly.
★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors
Deleted Right Away. Would not let me create an account. Got an error message every time.

Click bait. Ok so i’m trying to lose weight blah blah blah but can’t find a good app for ages under 18 but then i found this that said 12+ but on the app you have to be 18+ …..

Requires too much personal information. I wanted a simple app to keep track of my daily calories you can’t even use app without first putting all your personal information in weight birthdate height gender etc you should be able to use app with or without personal information depending on what your personal use of the app is for waste of $10 deleted it

Won't let you select calories YOU want per day. Only allows recommended.

Strava Connection. It would perfect if it could connect to Strava my exercise app like WW
★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
Poor. Not giving me the food content like calories, proteins, carbohydrates, etc.
★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions
CalorieKing. This app is not user friendly. If you cook your own food you have to figure out the calories on your own with no suggestions from the app. It will not easily allow you to edit your meals. I think I paid for it, but I still had to dismiss ads alllll the time! I am not a fan!
★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
No database of food. I have to manual add each food this is useless!! Very disappointed😡😡
★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions
Constant advertising is frustrating. I have happily paid to subscribe and use the CalorieKing database and desktop version of the tracker for many years. It’s frustrating when you pay to subscribe to the phone app that you are still bombarded with ads! It’s especially annoying on your phone because it’s so easy for your fingers to touch and ad by mistake. (Ads appear both in the middle and the bottom of the screen.)
