Looks Great, Works Poorly – Lifesum: Food Tracker & Diet Review

That app is gorgeous. It's also functionally a flop. It's really sad that the "Gold" version (paid) is actually still worse than My Fitness Pal's FREE version. I wanted to like this app really badly but sadly even the premium paid experience just isn't up to the standards of the competition. What's wrong with it? Sorely lacking nutritional information. Dead wrong nutritional information. Locking key features behind a pay wall, when it doesn't even get the main objective of the app correct (nutrition). Wrong and pointless food grading, considering dietary needs vary. Even the barcode scanner can take a good 5 seconds longer than My Fitness Pal's nearly instant scanner, which gets annoying fast. Bottom line: a gorgeous app with very little substance. Maybe over time Lifesum's functionality will improve, but right now it's subpar and every meaningful way.
