Not accurate calculations and nowhere to find help
I logged several meals and this app COMPLETELY miscalculated the macros! I entered the recipe link and entered the correct serving size. The recipe had 45g of protein, and it calculated 9g of protein. I searched all over to find a way to contact someone and see what was going on… nothing. And the “help button” only gives two options and no trouble shooting.
cant see weekly calories
this app sucks. once the week is over, it’s impossible to see a weekly total for your calories. No way to tell how many calories I ate last week.
Waste of time
spend 5 to 10 minutes curating and crafting your own profile just to be met with a paywall, and then just sell off all my information when I delete the app
Waste
Scammed me for a dumb calorie amount no sane person will eat 800 calories a day unless you have anorexia (which I don’t) I think it pretty common knowledge that it’s unhealthy to eat under 1500 calories I paid 70 buck for some bs
Not worth the price
This app is marketed as a next level calorie tracker to lose weight. However, the interface is not user friendly at all. It is extremely hard to find your overview of macronutrients for the day, and there’s no tracker for micronutrients that I saw. It also has a terrible database for tracking foods, I couldn’t even find a standard 150 calorie pre-packaged rice krispy treat! The free version of My Fitness Pal is 10x better than this app. Also, it put me at an 800kcal deficit to lose 1 lb a week?! That’s extreme, not sustainable, and dangerous!
Help
Can i not see foods i logged last week to re log them? Why do i have to save it to my favorites
Waste of time
Anything that makes me spend five minutes entering my personal data then to ask me to pay a subscription pisses me tf off
Ai pictures are permanently loading for the last month
The app was working great until ai pictures were stuck analyzing 100% of the time. I have deleted and reinstalled about 5 times - and it never fixed itself. Unfortunate since it’s a great app otherwise but the pictures are a big reason why I would use this over mfp.
Not worth money
I have been following Jeff’s science based tool for a long time so after the app was launched I excitedly got it. I chose 6month paid option to aid with my fat loss journey. As I started using it, I realized the algorithm is all jacked up. My BMR on conservative side is 1700. After a month of regular use, the app’s check in function dropped my cals to 1400. This is ludicrous given the fact that going this low would trigger other medical issues like Thyrodism (Hypo/Hyper). After few weeks of use, I have stopped using this app. The food tracking is also very cumbersome compared to free apps. My recommendation, use a free calories tracking app, do your due diligence in calculating your macros and stick to it. I WILL NOT RECOMMEND this app. This review is only for the app. I still like JN’s science based workout philosophy.
App is Great, but the privacy promise is misleading and the AI feature is laughable
As far as the app’s usability, it is great. No real complaints. However: 1) they claim to value user privacy, but only allow you to pay for the app via Apple or Google Play Services. It has been at least two years since I asked them to fix this. 2) they include an AI scanner that purports to determine an item’s nutritional information with a picture. This is farcical. All of the investment they put into this terrible AI feature could have gone into allowing users to pay for their service on the web (which would actually help them get around the mafia-esque cut taken by Apple and Google). Instead, they chase the same moronic fad the rest of the industry is chasing.
