Reviews
Great app
Srasotasunshine
Use the desktop version first to the to know the true calorie count in items. Also, the lack of an "other" category on the actual app is disappointing and I have to log on the desktop anyway to log my vitamins etc. It is also hard to look up custom items and you cannot create recipes on the mobile app. Otherwise I love the full site and this app helps me keep track of my calories in and out on the go. I've lost 25 lbs.
Fix the Bugz

Can't enter nutritional info or vitamins & minerals on custom food info!! Other that that its a good app
Beautiful Interfaces, Horrible Bugs

I'm invested in this app by years since I can't port out the info, but this app drives me effing nuts. The positive are the charts and nutrition tracking. Exercise database is thorough and pretty spot-on. Guidelines for different diets are a great starting point. Love the food grades and the meal by meal carb/fat/protein summaries. But the cons are the constant crashes and freezing, delays, inability to sync with online records, and duplicates in custom foods and meals. I tried cleaning out my custom (it creates a new entry every time you log it!) list online, but that doesn't sync. Weight takes forever to log, it crashes when you try to complete your day. The database has a lot of duplicates so it's hard to pick out the right serving and product. Fiber and sugar are missing from a lot of entries. The bugs are constant and if I hadn't been tracking on it this long, I'd have tried something new. Takes forever to search, and kills your battery. It's such a well-designed interface that it's such a shame that the tech is so poor.
Used to be great

Now I can't enter the info on new barcodes or when I scan an item the wrong info shows up.. Not liking this app no more
Can't Add Custom Food
Tigershep
I have liked this app for a while and used it along with their site for years. However, I have recently noticed an annoying glitch. When you go to create a new custom food you have the option to add nutritional information, which I find highly valuable when analyzing my diet summary. Anyway, when you click to enter that menu, you see all the boxes to fill in. But, once you click a box to enter a numerical value, the entire screen goes blank and you have no choice but to back out. I am disappointed I can't add vitamin info.
Not so great

There are much better apps out there for weight-loss tracking and planning. The UI is clumsy and challenging to use. But the worst, most egregious problem with the app involves the account settings. Weight-loss planning and required calories are unrealistic. There are serious logistical issues with the calories that are recommended for you and unrealistic corresponding weight-loss target dates. You will set yourself up for failure if you allow the account settings on this app determine the goal date for your weight-loss. Also, the recommended calories do not seem accurate either, regardless of how much weight you want to lose and in what time frame. If you insist on using the app, determine your BMR and calculate accordingly for the amount of weight you can lose at most in one week. Then manually calculate the number of weeks that would be required to lose that weight, adding 10% of the number of days, realizing that weight loss is not linear.
I am outraged

Ever since I signed up with this program I have been getting non-stop junk mail from health websites. I am severely disappointed with this application.
Satisfied
