What goes wrong
I’ve been using this app for ten years but its last version made it unusable for me.
I’m not sure why they have made the app completely unusable for people who do not want to pay to log their food.
The app is completely broken, stays on the loading screen endlessly without ever loading in to the app. This shouldn't be happening on a brand new, flagship phone!
I need the ability to make a customized start date for my tracking week, i.e.
The newest update kicked me out of my account and says it can’t find it. Locked out and worried I won’t get my history back!
What goes well
Helped me realize how much I’m actually eating and how much I really need to eat to gain weight, amazing app and genuinely think if your cutting/ bulking or just want to see what your eating you...
I’ve been using this app since June and I can’t tell you how much I love it!
Best Food Tracker

I have been using this app for many years and it’s just absolutely absolutely wonderful.

When I used this app a several years ago, there was an easy way for me to track my exercise. Since then, I can’t log something simple like yoga or mat Pilates.
Hi as type 1 diabetic I found it really useful since the app revamp having the carbs calculate for each meal - it made calculating insulin for the meal a lot easier.
