TadaPal: Weight Loss Friend
doubtful ratingMore of a gamified weight-loss friend with an AI food scanner than a pure weight tracker. The Tada character motivates and praises healthy eating, and some report serious weight loss. But the calorie scanner is noticeably off in both directions, the food database has gaps, and the once-free macros now sit behind a subscription.
Reviews are genuine, but the 4.8 store score rests mostly on very short five-star notes while the detailed criticism is harsher. A worrying signal: an app rated 9+ is actively used by teens around weight loss, yet free macro display was removed and some features locked behind a subscription.
