Lose It! – Calorie Counter Reviews

Really good app! Wish it had a couple more features.

I paid for the 1 year sub and I’m really happy with the app. It’s clean and easy to use. There’s just 2 features I wish it had. First I wish it allowed me to take photos with my weigh-ins to track progression. I believe myfitnesspal offers this. I weight lift and sometimes the scales doesn’t move or goes up and sometimes the number doesn’t matter but how you look. I want to be able to compare it within the app. The second would be the activity setting. I would like to set it to nothing ( less than sedentary) like the Cronometer app does. I want to strictly go off my BMR with no multiplier added in. I just prefer to use my BMR plus my daily activity/exercise from my Apple Watch. If Cronometer was cleaner and more user friendly this feature would edge you out. 4 star app for sure and I hope to see some good features in the future to make it 5 star!

Amazing! But Just a Few Suggestions...

I’ve lost 38+ pounds since using the Lose It App! I love everything about this app although I do have a few suggestions I’m hoping the developers will take into consideration. 1. Expand the food data base. 2. For the “Recipes” category, you should be able to create folders so you can organize your recipes. (Ex: You can create a folder for breakfast recipes, lunch, dinner, etc) That would really take creating recipes to the next level. 3. Under “My Food”, you should be able to add different foods. I wanted to add Wyman’s Just Fruit to my food catalog but there was no option to. 4. When creating recipes, there should be an option to move your added ingredients into any order you want. Get those changes going and my rating will be a 5 star!

Great but don’t upgrade to premium

The app works great. Everything about it works great. It should be good enough for 5 stars. I liked loseit so much that I purchased a year of premium to support the makers AND get them to stop asking me to upgrade. But that’s where it loses two stars. If I pay for an app or game or upgraded membership level, I fully expect to stop getting any type of ads. But every single day I get a pop up asking me to upgrade my year to a lifetime membership. Every day. Usually multiple times per day. I get it. I work in ad tech. I know the data shows that if someone makes an in app purchase once they are much more likely to make another purchase than the average user. Loseit knows this too and use it as a reason to double down on the lifetime requests. I am still a user, and I will continue to be a user but I’ve told friends and am writing this to let everyone know to not bother upgrading to premium until they stop with the upgrade ads. They are annoying at best, predatory at worst.

I’ve been at it for a month now......down 7 pounds. (Free version) I love the ease of adding foods and am impressed by the wide range of foods in your ‘library’. (The last calorie counting app I used, never had what I was eating in their list- frustrating) My husband was encouraged by my success and wants to sign up, but we were disappointed that the system does not allow for two users within the same app. It’s an extra step to log his food somewhere else, since we eat nearly the same. It would be convenient to allow a second user. I love the app otherwise. Thank you.

Great app to help you lose it!

UPDATE: I had written a review that I love the app except for its tech glitch and they did respond with a fix. Basically if you are syncing to a Fitbit make sure apple health and other apps are turned off to syncing otherwise they’ll interfere with each other. I can now Confidenitally give this app 5 stars! It has definitely helped me stay motivated and on track!

Too many ads

I used the app last spring, and there were no ads, and the app worked great! This year there are tons of ads, and the rankings don’t refresh very quickly. The app only works on apple products, so some people were unable to join the competition.

Premium price jumped $20 in one day

Was interested in signing up for premium until this price hike. No thanks!

Effective and visually pleasing

Any diet app is going to need you to be honest and have discipline. For me, this one works because I am a visual learner/ note taker/ list maker by nature and having the little food icons helps me stay accurate. I’ve lost 13lb in 10 weeks (better than my goal rate) and it’s very easy to use. My only suggestion is to make the available badges visible BEFORE you earn them. If I already met a certain level and get the badge it’s nice, but it would be good to know what is there to aim for and push myself.

Great app but.....

Lose It is a great app to help monitor your food intake. The reason for 3 stars is because the upgrade to a subscription gives you very little in return so, in my opinion, it is not worth the cost, regardless of the deal offered. So don’t buy into the many attempts for you to purchase a subscription just stick with the basic app.

Logging is great. Everything else is terrible.

Logging works great. Every other feature is really terrible to use.
