I have been using this app for years for both my own food tracking and with my fitness clients. It has some very good things going for it so I have just dealt with/worked around all of its many shortcomings with the hope that the developers will eventually improve it. This has never happened and it’s becoming clear now that it never will. The food search feature is beyond awful. It requires you to sift through hundreds of entries that may or may not even match the food you typed into the search box. Most recently I searched for “mushrooms” and the app came up with 200+ items… only 2 of them were actual mushrooms. This is pretty much par for the course. In most cases it’s faster to just create a custom food on your own so you don’t have to spend 10 minutes playing detective. I do not understand how an app that’s built for logging food can work so incredibly poorly in this capacity. I recently updated to the newest version of the app and in doing so I lost every food item, favorite, and recipe I had saved in my profile. That is hours and hours of time that I’ve now lost. I will no longer be using the app personally or recommending it to anyone… stay away!

I started using this app at the recommendation of my personal trainer. I have used myfitnesspal and the Fitbit food tracker in the past and wasn’t particularly pleased with either of them, but this app is unbelievably, frustratingly worse - and it isn’t free! I thought the barcode scanner would be a nice touch, but even if it can find my food, it never accurately depicts what’s on the label, so I end up having to manually enter everything anyway. And the food database is painstakingly small, even when you create an account and pay for the app. I also hate that unlike myfitnesspal and the Fitbit tracker, you can’t change the measuring unit, and nearly everything ends up in grams. Unless you have a food scale handy literally all the time, you can’t estimate how much you’re eating when you have to measure in grams. And the personalized macro goals the app created for me - which are supposedly the reason why this app is so heralded - were so unattainable, even at the least aggressive setting (e.g. 200 grams of protein per day - I’m not a bodybuilder!) that I ended up setting my own anyway. Do yourself a favor and don’t waste your money on this garbage app.

As most reviews will tell you; this app is a general letdown. It is inflexible in portion selection, it requires you to pay a monthly fee for basic TDEE calculations, the scanner and label reader barely work, and BY GOD is the search awful. I mean, there is literally NO natural language parsing. Let’s say in MFP or MyNetDiary you want to search for some food from some brand. You’d type in “nuggets McDonald’s” and probably get Chicken McNugget as one of the top results. Assuming you had the foresight to type in the proper, exact name of what you want in this app. You can only search the food, then use an antiquated list to navigate poorly to which brand you might want. Even the universal search is pathetic. Worst of all: the support is terrible. I had a log in issue that prevented me from using the app again, which thankfully led me to MyNetDiary in the interim. It took 2 weeks and multiple check ins on my behalf just to get the log in issue resolved. This should have been a 2-3 business day issue at most. Look elsewhere. They keep the old reviews up because they’re from a time when this actually was one of the better macro apps.
