1. [R1] BitePal 1/5 · US SCAM: This app is a scam. I signed up for a free trial, decided I did not like it and canceled the subscription, and it wouldn’t even recognize my email as having an account afterward. However, for two months I have still been getting two $9.99 charges to my card from Bitepal. I went through hoops trying to cancel it and they told me to cancel through Apple. I talked to Apple Support and we both c
2. [R4] BitePal 1/5 · US Scam subscription BEWARE!: Beware this app does nothing special but charge you lots of money(not through Apple) in hopes to get more money off you!
3. [R13] BitePal 1/5 · US Will continue charging: I deleted my entire account and they are still trying to charge me. I’ve blocked future payments from my bank but beware! There’s no response to try to rectify this
4. [R16] BitePal 1/5 · US Unauthorized charges: Unable tocancle beware!
5. [R3] BitePal 3/5 · US Not quite what I expected: Honestly, I would’ve been better off just staying with a free version. I’ve seen so many reviews and videos on this and thought it was the way to go. Thinking that this is an AI app I figured it would be over the top with help figuring all the nutrition for foods and boy was I wrong. Unless you’re actually scanning the label which is a nice option you’re not gonna get ac
6. [R8] BitePal 5/5 · US Just started, seems great: I’m on day 2. The raccoon does start harassing to leave a review the moment I downloaded the app. It’s gotten some of the food ai tracking stuff wrong, but it lets you go in and correct the information as needed. It’s better if I take a picture of the nutrition label. I think it’s been fun and I’m looking forward to using it more.
7. [R10] BitePal 2/5 · US Try shortest trial first: I did a longer trial to get the best value for my money because i felt pretty confident i would like this app, but the ai scan and other tracking methods for meals isn’t accurate at all and doesn’t work most of the time. The first several times i tried to scan a meal it errored out, and it has no way to help clarify what it is looking at. For example, i could have two sli
8. [R12] BitePal 3/5 · GB Was better before: This new update is horrible, I cannot edit the food, I cannot put what I’m eating exactly, just what the app finds as meals
9. [R6] BitePal 3/5 · US Paywall for everything: Why did it say my max calories for a day was 2000 even though my nutritionist told me 1400? I couldn’t even change it without paying to change it.. now how am I, a 5’7 female who weighs 185, supposed to lose weight eating 2000 calories a day? Be for real
10. [R11] BitePal 4/5 · US Amazing: The virtual pet is so cute but the one thing I get annoyed with is the fact you have to pay to get everything you need
11. [R18] BitePal 3/5 · GB Weights and measures: Liking the free trial, however just a few days of use but notice that most things are in grammes and this not useful when measuring liquids where Millilitres would be useful here. A choice of measurements etc is needed.
12. [R21] BitePal 3/5 · GB Good but keeps pushing paying.: It was great until this 1.99 a month offer happened. Now every single time i open the app i have to reject the offer twise. I can’t change settings to stop pushing promotion. I don’t want to pay and it should stop pushing it every single time i open the damn app.
13. [R22] BitePal 1/5 · US Wasn’t able to use for weeks: Thank goodness I got a coupon code for $23 off because this is the worst app I’ve found to track your nutrition. For weeks everytime I logged in, I couldn’t log anything because the app looked like it was down. It might be because I hadn’t updated it, possible, but I couldn’t use this app in its entirety for weeks because of that. I ended up deleting it. Then they’re
14. [R24] BitePal 3/5 · GB Good when it works: This app is good for easy tracking if you don’t need super accurate macros but the tech issue of not loading meals has become tiresome.
15. [R33] BitePal 3/5 · GB App is glitchy: The app was working well till the app stopped working properly, been paying for a yearly subscription and now I can’t take pictures of the meals or the ingredients.
16. [R43] BitePal 2/5 · US Issues after update: Can’t edit the fasting time if I forget to start or end it in the app.
17. [R51] MyFitnessPal 1/5 · US Update: You guys need to change back to the old version of goals an macros the new version is terrible setting your goals an macros an activity level changed way to much
18. [R53] MyFitnessPal 3/5 · US I like this app but: I like this app but I want to touch the screen as few times as possible and you keep sending me pops that make me press the button to clear it like “I’m committed” or “I’m on fire” which is very annoying and sucks
19. [R54] MyFitnessPal 2/5 · US New updated is terrible: Since the new update my macros isn’t being saved, can you please look into this and fix it.
20. [R55] MyFitnessPal 4/5 · US Update, have to delete app to fix goal: To fix the starting goal in initial setup you have to delete the entire app.
21. [R65] Lose It! 1/5 · US Restricted so much content!!: I’ve used this app for as long as I got into fitness 4-5 years ago you could scan items look at protein carb and fat of what your eating and all that good stuff. Recently just opened the app to find these features are all gone! I get the camera scan as that had been taken away probably ab 3 years ago now but now you can’t even look at the grams of protein fat and carb
22. [R66] Lose It! 5/5 · US Loose all of it nice and slow!: Recording everything you eat helps you know where you are every day! Two years /83lbs!
23. [R67] Lose It! 3/5 · US There is a permanent ad for GLP1 on your dashboard: Also they pop up ads for ozempic when you open the app sometimes. Crazy.
24. [R68] Lose It! 1/5 · US Trash app, inaccurate nutritional data: Wildly inaccurate and incomplete nutritional info.
25. [R79] Cal AI 1/5 · US You shouldn’t have to pay to be healthy: you shouldn’t have to pay for an app that barely even works. You shouldn’t have to pay to be healthy.
26. [R80] Cal AI 5/5 · US Cal ai: Super good · translated
27. [R81] Cal AI 3/5 · US Synch issues: I really like this app after using MyFitnessPal for years I tried Cal AI and I really like it a lot. The issue is the sync to apple health is unreliable. It syncs some entries and not others. so until they figure that out I’m going back to my fitness pal
28. [R82] Cal AI 2/5 · US Incredibly inaccurate: If you're going to do this, use one of the big names. At least they have a food database to train off of. Pretty sure this app is just a vibe coded wrapper around chatgpt
29. [R93] Cronometer 1/5 · US Frozen ad locks you out of the app: The ad hangs on a black screen every time I open the app and won’t close no matter what I tap. Restarting the app doesn’t help, it reopens with the same frozen ad. The only way to get into my diary is to turn on airplane mode so the ad can’t load. That’s ridiculous. The app itself is good, but the free version is basically unusable when the ad blocks you from ev
30. [R94] Cronometer 5/5 · US I’m So Glad I Switched!: A food tracker is best judged by the quality of its data. I am so happy with the accuracy of the Cronometer food database. I rarely need to correct anything! When I do, it’s simple to correct. I used MyFitnessPal for several years, and even though their food database was riddled with inaccuracies, I was reluctant to switch, but it was no big deal! Don’t hesitate!
31. [R95] Cronometer 3/5 · US Very Buggy: I like this app but before I lay down money on the paid version they need to work out the bugs on the free version. It freezes a lot. Macro ratios dont update or match between views. It also does this weird “wipe” or blank screen every time you update macros or other info that is annoying.
32. [R96] Cronometer 2/5 · US Lots of bugs since update: Constant crashes, multi year user. Please fix.
33. [R107] AI Calorie Tracker by Yazio 1/5 · US Garbage: How your app annoys me, buy a subscription, BUY, look at tips, constant pop-ups! I will never download this crap again in my life. · translated
34. [R108] AI Calorie Tracker by Yazio 5/5 · US I love it so much: There are many pros and also cons, but above all I love it so much and definitely recommend!!
35. [R109] AI Calorie Tracker by Yazio 3/5 · US .: Eating disorder propaganda, unsolicited and terrible advice, lots of unnecessary ads that waste time · translated
36. [R110] AI Calorie Tracker by Yazio 2/5 · US Bad game: Taking pictures of food for money, most products are not on the menu · translated
37. [R15] BitePal 3/5 · GB It’s okay I guess: No special insights and a lot of the foods are unknown so you have to type everything in. Would not have paid for it if I had a free trial
