## Review summary

Modern Chef app has issues with Bluetooth connection, especially with scales, and lacks an Australian food database, leading to frustrations. While some users find it works well enough given the low price and can sync with Fitbit or be customized, many report bugs, unreliable data saving, and questionable permissions like location access. Users seeking an Australian food database or stable Bluetooth connectivity find it unhelpful, with several considering it a waste of money.
