Review summary

Users praise ease of use and a visually appealing UI, and that calorie tracking works, but recurring problems overshadow positives. Major themes include billing/refund headaches and subscriptions tied to devices, reliability issues like blank screens and crashes, widespread data inaccuracies in fiber/macros, poor customer support, and problematic family plans. Overall, the app struggles with trust and consistency despite a solid feature set.

Pros

Easy to use
Nice-looking UI
Calorie tracking works (core function) with multiple logging options
Feature-rich logging capabilities (AI-assisted, photo, and barcode scanning)

Cons

Billing and refund headaches (unexpected charges, trial issues, device-tied subscriptions)
Reliability/bugs (blank main screen, crashes, login problems)
Inaccurate nutrition data (fiber and macros often off; barcode/photo accuracy)
Poor customer support (unresponsive or hard to reach)
Family plan issues (double charges and not usable by family)

2026-08-04	KO*****	I'm using the app to track my diet so I can lose some weight but it keeps giving me notifications about being hungry and eating which triggers me internally. So i suggest not using the notification feature

2026-08-04	LO*****	I downloaded it,deleted and not worth the subscription but I noticed they were still charging me every month and yearly! Even I deleted the app! This is a SCAM

2026-08-04	Fr*****	Love the Ap. I hate that it does not sync on my IPad to IPhone without logging completely out and back in. Fix this please.

2026-08-04	Wi*****	I really wanted to like this app, but out of all these types of apps I’ve used, like my fitness pall and carb tracker, this one by far has the most errors. More times than not when I scan the barcode of something, the macros are completely off. Sometimes by 10 calories and protein isn’t right, and other times way off by hundreds of calories. I will not pay for this app again unless they fix these issues. The ai thing is less than accurate, you’re better off telling chat gpt what you ate and have it add it up and do a manual add on here. The only reason I still use this is because I payed for it and am locked in for a year. The AI thing isn’t bad tho i expect it to be an estimate, what is frustrating is just scanning the barcodes and constantly having to adjust it because all the macros are off. If they would fix that it would be an alright app

2026-08-03	sp*****	It’s a good app and great for tracking your progress. However, its food photo analysis isn’t as accurate as ChatGPT’s. I compared the same meal in both, and ChatGPT gave a much more detailed and accurate nutrition breakdown. And this is a very important part of tracking your food. As I chose this app mainly because of its meal photo analysis feature, since there are many other apps that can track meals well, I cancelled it, and giving 3 star.

2026-08-03	Wo*****	I really like this app, love the way it syncs with Apple Health app. Syncing is one of the main reasons I stick with Apple devices. But for some unfathomable reason the app itself does not sync between my iPad and iPhone, and I spend time on both. If you are eating and drinking water throughout the day, you need to be able to record things with whatever device is nearby. Fix the sync issue and it is a five star app.
