Simple to use, tracks food if you manually enter it. But now, you can’t scan in food with bar codes, so I’m adjusting my rating down. Edit: Another update focused exclusively on making the app WORSE, so I’m removing yet another star. It forced me to log in, which deleted all of my weigh ins, […]

Kind of sucks tbh. I can’t edit anything. There is no way to change an entry if you make a mistake. I logged dinner after midnight and the app posted this dinner to the next evening instead of the dinner earlier in the day. There is no way to change or fix this. I’m giving […]
UPDATE: I had to take this down to 3 stars now because as of how this app has become BOMBARDED with ads AND you can no longer scan barcodes without paying for the premium version of the app which also, by the way, removes the ads. How convenient! Otherwise it’s a good app for tracking […]
Terrible, terrible design. User interface is the most confusing, non-intuitive design imaginable. Also, wildly inconsistent calorie counts for food items. I typed in 1 cup cooked quinoa and saw search results ranging from 120 calories to 225. The search results appeared crowd sourced, so accuracy is dubious. People just write in their opinions, defeats the […]
Update: that’s a stupid to add to the notes This sucks that you can’t track magnesium for your electrolytes. They don’t even have the option to add magnesium when you create a food. Their help site says to create a food and add your supplements there. Hello!!! It’s not listed. I mean how hard is […]
App is running worse & worse, day by day. This app used to be the best. I recently installed MFP because I started a serious weight loss goal. At first it was working perfectly. I’m familiar with MFP because I had used it 5 years ago to lose weight & it 100% helped me reach […]
Database is entirely user generated, resulting in completely inaccurate information, incorrect spellings, and just outdated data. On top of that, the barcode scanner is a paid premium feature despite the information being completely wrong more often than not. Additionally, I track my net carbs, and this app has been an absolute nightmare due to sugar […]
Good but features keep becoming premium. This morning I went to enter my food, and after I searched and found what I wanted, entered the quantity and went to add it to my diary it wouldn’t respond. I’ve tried closing and reopening the app. uninstalling and reinstalling it. The only thing I can figure is […]
Incredibly hard to update goals, loggs you out every other day, cumbersome to log meals copy or move around meals, and feels like you are constantly being told to buy premium which is out rageous when half of the normal parts dont even work. oh and stupidly hard to log food by grams, which is […]
Edited Rating to 1-star. App is pretty sub-par these days. Does not sync with my Fitbit app to transfer calories burned and steps. This doesn’t work regardless of syncing is done via HealthConnect (updates sporadically and randomly) or directly with Fitbit. The entire platform is becoming useless if it cannot track the most basic and […]
App is consistently getting worse, even for my paid subscription. Now the app is completely shutting down every time I go to add food- which is it’s main purpose! Before today I was able to log if I clicked their reminders, which will while inconvenient worked usually, but now even that doesn’t work. Don’t waste […]
I love this app. I have been using just the free version for several years. It is a great aide for mindful nutrition, weight management, and identifying food allergies. The barcode scanner makes tracking foods easy. It tracks nutrients, and pops up alerts if you are getting near or go over your goal limit. Update: […]
id like to rate this higher. I use it daily for tracking calories, and its great for that. However, its integration is absolutely terrible. I’ve given it permissions to Samsung health data, I’ve given it permissions for health connect, it doesn’t seem to matter what you do. if you want it to update and show […]
Update glitch? I’ve used this app to track my weight for years. I like being able to see my progress over time. Used to present all weight from newest to oldest. With recent update, everything is showing oldest to newest (except for 1 week option). Please fix so all time frames show newest to oldest. […]
all of a sudden the app has stopped retaining most, if not all of the foods I log. i log foods today and tomorrow there will be no history of it in my recently logged foods. this is so frustrating as I’m having to go back and find barcodes or manually search for every single […]
This used to be a great app, but the most recent update is a major step back. Meals you save and then use on another day used to put the exact foods, so you could easily customize amounts. Now the meal gets added as a single item Search algorithm got a huge downgrade. You used […]
The log in problem has been fixed. I like the app and how it can track stuff even if you’re not using the premium version. The only actual critique I can give is if only there was a way to implement measurements in grams for ALL food types. I like the different measurement options but […]
What is going on with the app the last few weeks? So many issues out of the blue and it’s really annoying. From calculating daily calories wrong (several hundred calories too high) to notifying me to update the app even though there is no update available to showing weight history from oldest to newest (lots […]
What Am I paying for, if every time I do a search for something I ate within the last day doesn’t show up? This is annoying and time consuming. There really isn’t much of an advantage to paying for a premium membership if I have to go through all the extra work to find the […]
While I have been using the app since 2013, the latest update has ruined the functionality of the app. Previously, I could type a brand name into the search and pull up recent items. Now I have to type in a keyword from the item description. Bring back the ability to search by brand! It […]
