   What happened????. I used to love this app because of its easy tracking but just recently I got back into my diet and the way the app repays me is whenever i try to search up foods it traps me behind a paywall. For what? Wanting to log my cheez its????? I’ve been reading the reviews and there are tons of people complaining about the same thing and your response is “WeLl SOme FeAtUrEs ArE pReMiUm AnD ThE aPp Is FoR bAsIc TrAcKiNg” let me just tell you this…. YOU CANT LOG ANYTHING IF YOU CANT SEARCH IT NOW THE APP IS ESSENTIALLY USELESS WITHOUT PAYING FOR BASIC SERVICES

2. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Healthy. I like this application for my health and my goal target.

3. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Not what was advertised. All I wanted was a diet tracker. I am 230 lbs at 10.4% body fat and you called me obese. Get real

4. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   broken. i’ve been using the app for over a year. It hasn’t had any problems and now just recently I told my friends about it and they got it and as soon as they got it, it has stopped working completely. You can’t even search for foods without the paywall coming up. It’s basically unusable. The only thing that saves is you can still scan barcodes

5. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Terrible. Makes you pay for searching foods. Do not get

6. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   So skimpy with the premium stuff. U can’t use the app at all after a certain point if u don’t have premium u can’t search anything

7. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   App has gone downhill.. This app used to be great until they started restricting certain features in the app so you can pay to become a premium member. I can’t even access my history and add foods to the breakfast, lunch, or dinner tabs without it advertising their premium plan. There’s much better apps. They’re being very greedy now

8. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   No Way. So now we pay for calorie counting

9. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   ‼️DO NOT DOWNLOAD‼️. I have had this app for about a month. They push getting premium SO much. ‼️This app will automatically make you pay for a subscription to premium‼️ I’ve even cancelled the subscription through the App Store and it renewed by itself! Watch your banks people this app is a scam!!

10. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    This is odd. Wont let me search up foods I need to log it just keeps telling me that I can achieve my goal faster and I can try for free. Im just trying to log and search my food :(

11. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Do not fall for it. After a month you cannot even add food unless you pay! Such a scam! I am going back to myfitnesspal

12. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Everything is Behind a Paywall. You cant even search for foods anymore without the paywall popping up. They say “some advanced features” you have to pay for. Searching for a food is not an advanced feature! I have used the app for years and have contributed to the user-inputed data for tracking foods such as “chicken breast, 300 calories”. I cant even use my previously inputted foods. Nice of you to use user-inputted data for years and then make us pay for the information WE gave you.

13. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Just another one lost to ads $. App was great before they got greedy and started to charge to even use it. I understand charging for premium but now it won’t let me even log my food before agreeing to a free trial. Disappointed. Finding a new app now.

14. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    I wish i could rate this lower. This app was fully functioning last year for me, albeit rather annoying with he premium stuff. But its gotten exponentially worse snd you cant even use the app without a subscription—whats the point?

15. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Hi. Every future cost money including the calorie scanner

16. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Just no. I thought this was gonna be a nice app to help me count weight since I’m 120 pounds and it keeps telling me to get a free three day trial and then pay for the next months but on the app it says this app is free NO IT IS NOT do not get this if you don’t wanna spend money😢

17. ★★★★★ads disrupt the experience

    Appediet. I used to love using this app, but I can’t get it to work anymore. I use the free version and watching ads would let me log my food, but now it won’t let me search anything, plus most of the calories are slightly off somehow for most foods, I won’t be using this app again.

18. ★★★★★trust in the number is a tracker's only asset, AI trades it for a guess and the product…

    Buggy as hell. I’ve been using this app for over a year and it has a lot of potential, but it’s currently held back by several frustrating bugs and poor design decisions that make daily use much more annoying than it needs to be. Major Issues: • History & Search is broken: The recent items/history shows random old entries from over a year ago instead of prioritizing what I actually use. The search function doesn’t update live — you have to hit enter every time. Results appear in seemingly random order with no logic based on frequency of use. For example, I eat the same Costco salmon snack almost every weekday, yet it’s never near the top and I have to dig through the list every single time. • Frequent freezing in menus: When navigating multiple levels deep (especially when editing custom foods or meals), the app regularly freezes and stops responding to any input. The only fix is to force-close and restart the app, which means losing whatever information you were entering. This happens way too often. • Custom meals are poorly handled: When you create a custom meal (like a 32-ingredient smoothie), it saves everything as individual line items instead of keeping them grouped as one meal. If you accidentally assign it to the wrong meal time, you have to swipe and delete every single ingredient manually. This feels like a basic design oversight. • Dangerous Health app integration: By default, the app pulls activity data from Apple Health and automatically adds calories back to your daily total based on estimated burn. This is wildly inaccurate and actively harmful for people in a calorie deficit trying to lose weight. It should be opt-in with much clearer warnings, or at minimum not override your set goals so aggressively. • Recent macro duplication bug: Multiple meals, including long-standing custom items I use daily, are suddenly showing 2–3x their normal macros. A smoothie that’s been ~800 calories for over a year is now showing up as 2,700+ calories. This is a serious regression that makes the app unreliable for tracking. Overall, the app feels like it lacks proper QA and testing. Many of these issues (especially the history/search problems and freezing) have persisted for a long time. The core idea is good, but the execution makes it unreliable and frustrating for daily use. I’d love to give it a higher rating if the team focuses on stability, smart defaults, and fixing these core usability problems.

    Looks great but $40 a month!!!. Yikes! I give the same amount to my church. I’m not spending this on an ap.

20. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    💀. It used to be good before I had to pay to use the scanning function if they could return to making a cost ads, that would be a lot better

21. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Not working. The app is not letting me search for food. I did it 30 minutes ago and it let me.. now it isn’t anymore. It wants me to pay. I’ve been using this app for over 2 years and it never gave me that message

22. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    new paywall is a disappointment. this app is very good and convenient for quickly tracking your calories, and it used to be completely free, and the premium only locked a few QOL features. but the fact that the paywall has moved so far forward that even manually logging is locked is absolutely absurd. ive used this app for free since november of 2025 and now i have to search for a new one. all i hope is that you guys revert soon, because youre going to lose a lot with this new decision.

23. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Annoying analysis feature. I like how you can take a picture or scan code to log food, but every time after I enter one item, a food analysis window immediately pops out and I couldn’t go back to the main app page unless I completely exit. VERY ANNOYING! not gonna renew subscription unless they fix this.

24. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Seen the results on someone else. This really works I have not tried it yet, But seen astonishing results on someone else!!!!!

25. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    A 3 at best. Measurements are ll over the place it’s not very accurate at all

26. ★★★★★trial charges and refunds

    Seems ok but Practically unusable without a subscription. I was excited to try this, but the app is locked behind an aggressive paywall. You can’t even look up a food item or log a single meal without being forced into a "3-day free trial" that leads to a recurring charge. Every time you close the subscription pop-up to try and use the app, it immediately reappears. It’s very frustrating and feels more like a subscription trap than a helpful tool.

27. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    was good but then…. It started out very good i was able to track food pretty easy and find foods good for me until they didn’t let me look up food? why is that premium? i should be able to track the food i just ate. this app is terrible unless u have premium

28. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    New changes. I don’t know if it is intentional but recently you can’t do anything without a thing popping up about a subscription. A week ago you could do everything and it just played ads but you can’t do that anymore. I understand that you have to get paid but at least send a warning before you basically take off the free mode. If you change this then I will gladly change the review to 5 stars. Also as a developer myself I recommend either adding more well placed ads that don’t take away from the enjoyment of the app or maybe even adding a second even higher tier of premium with like a personal ai coach to make meal plans and food recipes for you.

29. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Give me my money back. This app took 25 dollars from me and didn’t even give me premium after I deleted the app

30. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Get rid of payment. I loved this app and used it all the time, unfortunately you made it to where we have to pay to search, scan, and upload photos. This is ridiculous, I’ve had this for almost a year with nothing and now I have to pay
