Summary
This mobile app receives largely negative feedback from users. While some appreciate its basic tracking functions for meals, water, and snacks with easy input, many users are frustrated by its pervasive paywalls, significant subscription and billing issues including unexpected charges and unhonored lifetime memberships. A major recurring complaint is the app's inaccurate and incomplete food database, requiring extensive manual entries, along with a clunky user interface and poor performance. Additionally, users report unresponsive customer service, lack of international language support, and recent connectivity problems, particularly when using a VPN, which suggests issues possibly introduced in recent updates.
