BitePal Reviews

I ran into a problem right away.
I work night shift. My lunch time is 1am.
When setting up my account it asks what time I start and end eating.
It hard stops me because my start time is after my end time, giving no option for a “next day” option.
Lack of an option for a soft stop, o... Show more r a override option makes it so I can’t really progress any further.

Not everyone eats a diet with the macros BitePal uses to judge your meals. It'd be nice if you could set your chosen macro spread and not have to get the stink eye from your trash panda every time you eat pig skins.
(I am very pleased that the developer is considering my suggestion.)

I think its a really cute app and has a lot of potential but my issues with it is that often times for example i eat this veggie pasta that the pasta is made with zucchini and cauliflower with no like actual pasta noodles in it but it puts it as actual pasta giving me a low score. I think it should... Show more have a thing where u type in items or ingredients for a more precise nutritional information cause it tells me healthy things are unhealthy. I like the idea of a little raccoon reminding you to eat and encouraging eating even after a “bad” meal but nutrition wise its not too helpful on that aspect. Also i think carbs aren’t necessarily bad for you we still need them as they are important for us so im confused on why theres more issues for things like a bagel

I’m trying to log my meals but it keeps putting them under the date december 30th. It is not december 30th.

I was really excited to use BitePal after seeing an ad for it, I downloaded it, put in my first meal and when it said to sign up with apple or google to keep streak I tried both and neither one is taking for some reason so I can’t use BitePal at all

I really love BitePal, it’s super fun and interactive! However I do believe it needs one small tweak which is being able to edit meals after the picture has been taken. This is because small but important details can be wrong sometimes. (Ex. Switching the type of food like orange juice to pineappl... Show more e
juice, adding ingredients that may be hidden in the presentation of the food, and adding details like bread is whole wheat or gluten free) I also think carbs should not be penalized so much as they are very important! Otherwise I really enjoy BitePal and how easy it is to upload your meal!

BitePal seems so cute and helpful however (I’m unsure if this is just me) I think the problem is caused by me having to have my screen zoomed larger due to poor eyesight a lot of the text is cut off or cut in half it’s not major but is an annoyance trying to decipher letters and numbers without th...

i absolutely love the idea of BitePal and most of it works super well. i’m someone who struggles with a restrictive eating disorder and i like that this tells me to eat and makes sure i eat, and even if it isn’t the healthiest, it’s not shaming me. i also love how you get almost everything with pr... Show more emium and it’s not constantly yelling at you to get premium, and the raccoon is so cute. however, the ai isn’t always accurate, and it won’t let me override if it’s wrong. for example it thinks i’ve been drinking a hard alcoholic cider a day, when it’s just a starbucks steamed apple cider. okay, not the greatest, but definitely not alcohol.

hi, I really like your app so far and like many others it helps me to remember to eat on time and has encouraged me to make healthier choices. One of the biggest things that keeps me eating on time honestly is feeling guilty about Bobo (my racoon) not getting to eat and losing health points. but wh... Show more en it comes to healthy eating, I still feel like I’m lacking some motivation simply from just reading the ratings from each day. it would be cool if there were like a feature where Bobo would get “sick” i.e. also lose health points from me not eating healthily, I think that this option should be able to be toggled on and off that way people who are hoping to use BitePal to eat healthily can incentivize their eating choices more, while people who simply just want to get themselves at the very least eating again they can leave it toggled off for a more relaxed feel. or maybe just have an option as some other reviews suggested to be able to buy clothes, but the coins could be earned from consistent healthy eating (high scores) rather than mini games which i feel might distract from the purpose of BitePal and rather serve as a loophole to getting things (people might sit and play the games for bobo’s accessories rather than putting effort into improving their eating habits, people being me lol and probably other busy college students like me where a game is lower effort than cooking a healthy meal)

BitePal is great, its helping me form a better relationship with food, but, a small issue is, is that the majority of the times im busy and dont have enough time to take a picture of my meals/snacks/ect. it’d be great if there was a future update where you can log food even without taking pictures...

I was very excited about BitePal as I want to try to start tracking my food and the little raccoon is absolutely adorable. But I think there needs to be an option to manually log food if you forget to take a picture. I am not great at remembering to photograph my food or sometimes it’s awkward to ... Show more do so if I’m in public. I love the concept of just snapping a picture. But I feel like there should still be a manual option for more forgetful people like myself

I love the idea of feeding a lil raccoon along with yourself! However, there just aren’t enough customization options for this to be worthwhile food tracker yet. I can’t log water or snacks, just meals. With the meals I log, I can’t specify anything (a chicken sandwich with only chicken is differen... Show more t than a chicken sandwich loaded with veggies and on whole grain bread for example). And I wish the raccoon was a little nicer to me LOL. 70 doesn’t seem like that bad of a nutrition score to me, so I’d didn’t love the raccoon being like “better luck next time”!

With more tweaks and updates, I hope BitePal becomes as great as it has the potential to be! It’s just not there yet with sole reliance on ai photo identification.

Loving this so far but wish there was an option to add snacks!

I am loving BitePal so far! I know it’s a newer app with lots of updates to come but I do have some suggestions and questions.
-what if I forget to take a picture of my meal?
- inputting drinks would make a big difference
- I would love a snack option
- what do I do if I don’t eat e... Show more verything I took a picture of?

Thanks, I’m excited to see how BitePal evolves!

I love BitePal so much. Not only does it tell me how all the food I eat is practically junk, but it also helps me keep track of what I eat because I always forget. Like if the night before I had pasta, I’ll completely forget then look and boom! I love that it doesn’t count calories or use hurtful ... Show more statements, and even when it is unhealthy, it isn’t guilt-trippy. One thing I definitely think would be cute to add is making it so you can pet the little buddy! I think he is adorable and sometimes I go to instinctively tap on him to pet so I think that would be super cute!! 💗💗

please let us give our raccoon clothes and little fur color changers:( it would make me a lot more motivated to eat,, track eating in general:D

I love love loveee BitePal. It’s still fully functional without premium, which I love, premium just gives you extra insight. I struggle with an ED so this is extremely helpful, and give me an insensitive to eat my 3 meals a day because of the cute little pet and sweet messages :)

The only thing I would recommend for the developers is adding little clothing items or mini games that give you coins to buy said clothes. Each meal, the better the nutrition maybe the more coins you could earn? It’s very cute how it is but I think that would help people, especially people like me who have ADHD, remember to log their meals and keep their streak up! And it makes it more cutesy and personalized

Okay i love BitePal i’ve had it for a few days now and i think everything about it is great, i do have a suggestion though to where you can add your friends and see what you both ate or they could send pets to your raccoon or send reminders to eat i think that would be cool

As someone that struggles with eating disorders, with app has been helping me tremendously! I think it would be a great idea to be able to customize your pet perhaps get points for eating healthier meals and be able to buy clothing or furniture or backgrounds with the points would be a fun idea.

absolutely love BitePal! it’s so cute and i love the healthy relationship with food it promotes! however i would really love a snack option!! i usually eat 3 meals but have a couple snacks and would love a way to differentiate between snacks and meals 🫶

Works good for me! Food scanning works and raccoon is a great fun! Named him Belly

I tried other apps for my meals and food and this one is so much more fun and encouraging.

Like other reviews have said BitePal has a lot of free features! It has helped me build more eating habits and I’m a bit more mindful of what I eat! Definitely gonna get this app Plus soon!! 🫶

BitePal has been really great and very user friendly. As BitePal is new I assume updates are to come. Furthermore here are some suggestions for possible app updates:

A competition with friends based off of points. This could include a race where your raccoon has more energy with better po... Show more int balance.

Everything abt BitePal is too cute man 😭 not everyone can js have a little buddy to help them out on what meals to eat or when to eat at that. Keep it up guysss

(Small tip: PLEASE ADD AN AREA WHERE WE CAN DRESS UP THE RACOON THAT WOULD BE SO FRICKIN CUTE)
