User Reviews

Many reviews criticize the pricing and onboarding model (subscription, trial charges, and forced sign-up) as the main negatives, with complaints of poor value for a free option. However, several users praise the app’s health/ingredient insights and some positive health outcomes, including mentions of the baby food test. A few users also note improvements after updates. Overall, the app is valued for education on food health but hindered by its pricing and onboarding experience.
Pros
  • Educational insights into ingredients and health implications.
  • Positive user experiences and potential health benefits (e.g., baby food test impact).
  • App updates have addressed reported issues and improved reliability.
Cons
  • Requires subscription and is not free; multiple reviews note high pricing and limited free access.
  • Heavy onboarding and repetitive prompts; users feel forced to sign up before exploring.
  • Trial and payment practices are criticized (charges after cancellation; perceived bait-and-switch).
  • Lack of transparency about which features are free vs. paid; perception of misleading pricing.

I downloaded Olive just to test the app and did NOT intend to start a paid subscription or continue with the free trial. The app says that I started a subscription and I’ve been able to use subscription benefits, including features that aren’t supposed to be available without a subscription. However, when I try to manage or cancel the subscription, there is no “Manage Subscription” or cancellation option available in the app. It also does not appear under my Apple subscriptions. I’ve tried contacting Olive multiple times through the app, through their support links, and directly from my iCloud email, and I still haven’t received a response. I’m trying to cancel before I’m charged, but I’m being given no clear way to do that. It’s extremely frustrating to have an app recognize that I have a subscription and let me use its benefits, but not provide a way to manage or cancel it. I was only testing the app and never intended to keep the free trial.

Charged $55 dollars for this app that I never purchased. Emails after emails and not one response to offer any help. Still have no idea how to cancel since it does not let me in the app and I don’t have it in my purchased apps in my Apple account. Very very frustrating and disappointing. If I did accidentally purchase a trial, and forgot to cancel it, why is there no customer service or anywhere to cancel future charges or get refunded????
