I like it so far. It's got some bugs though. My wife has her phone in French language and all the nutritional figures have commas (,) instead of periods (.) and that causes issues. There are alot of ads and I am considering paying the yearly fees but I'd rather do it because I recognize the usefulness of the tool and the effort put in it instead of avoiding being annoyed.
A great app if you are already familiar with a points-based system. Easy to use. Points calculator is handy. My only gripe is that the online database is unreliable. Multiple listings with different values are found for the same item. I double check the calculations and save the correct one to my favorites with an * so I know which ones I have verified.
*The app has become overly monitized and filled with crappy ads. They want you to pay monthly in order to be able to do basic things like transfer your data when moving to a new phone.* The points plus system has consistently helped me lose weight over the years when the newer Weight Watchers programs have not worked for me so I'm glad this app has preserved it. At my peak, I lost 60 pounds on this system. Since then I've used it to take 10 to 20 pounds off after regaining a bit of the weight.
For $3, this app is wonderful! It is simple to use and is intuitive. The user experience has been carefully crafted so that you have the information you want on one page. I appreciate the design and font choice bc it's easy to read and clean. Once I bought this, I quickly remived the iTrackbites. I found this app to be far superior and a better value. Kudos to the development team.
After the update, some of the features I had purchased weren't available. Support was very prompt in responding and helping me regain the features. I really like this app, I don't like the new WW plan so having this available for the points plus is great! The only thing I don't like about the update is that the main page is taken up by premium features that I don't want.
I just redownloaded this and paid the $4.99. Its useless as the online database and scanner bring up no results matter what I search. I might as well just carry one of the bulky old calculators and a notepad. Very disappointed. I contacted support, Ive yet to hear back but I hope it can be fixed. It used to be a great app! *Edit: if the support team would quit trying to be smart asses in responding to negative reviews it may have less issues. :)
I've used this app over the years for the pro points system. Having recently reinstalled it I noticed many of the features I used prior were missing, I contacted customer services and within an hour I was back up and running with all the features I had previously used. Brilliant service and great app if you dont want to pay for slimming classes weekly fees. Cant wait to start using again :)
I was trying to find an app that I could use in place of the weight watchers app. This is the best one I've found so far. I like that I could pay $5 to try for 1 month, for the premium version, rather than committing for a whole year. The site is pretty intuitive. It doesn't have all the foods that I've scanned, but it has many. If I know the points, I just use the 'I know the points' feature. It's not perfect but it's a good app.
i use this app daily and used to love it. The recent update both removed features I used and added annoying panels making it necessary to scroll down to use some features that used to be easily available from the main screen. The most recent update removed the ability to make a local backup copy of my data. This update also put a panel on the screen showing that "automatic backup" (to the cloud for a fee) isn't enabled. It also put a new panel showing a pedometer that is also only available for a monthly fee. The app used to fit on a single screen. The developer has chosen to remove local backup and force users to pay for cloud backup as a premium feature. The developer points out that some people were confused by a local backup and told us us that a future update would make the backup approach used fail. Other apps of this type offer local backup without forcing users to pay the developer a fee. This just feels like extortion. I can almost hear the developer saying "I have your data and you won't get it unless you pay me!" If you value your data and don't want to put personal data in the cloud, the developer has taken steps to make this app undesirable..
I have had this APP since 2014 and have lost weight many times using it (fyi you have to keep following it to keep it off lol). Recently due to some updates I was not able to access some features and after contacting customer service they were able to sort everything out within the hour. Impressive!
I've been putting off trying to lose weight lately because I don't do well at calorie counting. I love this app because it's so easy to use and it makes me more mindful about how much I'm actually eating. I'd recommend to everyone!! The only thing that I'd wish for is if the trackers were customizable. Not a huge deal; I still love the app!
I have been using this app for about three years and had a lot of foods & meals recorded! I wanted to transfer to my new phone and they said I needed premium plan so I could backup my data I had collect for three years? I did and when I went to transfer to new phone it would not let me? I contacted support and they help get updated and running! 👍
Premium plan doesn't tract points accurately. Been having trouble and have been unable to use for months. First day of week used 9 points said I used 30 and had -136 remaining for week. 3 minutes later without changing anything all the numbers changed. Have contacted developer several times to no avail. Used to love app, would really like to see it work properly again.
A bit difficult to get started since there's no documentation. I'm still not sure how to use some features. Nevertheless, I learned how to use the most important features within 2-3 days, by trial and error. All in all I give it max rating, since its packed with features and I keep losing weight steadily with it.
Love this app. A very good way to continue with WW without the expense. I purchased the premium plan for 12 months to do the purple plan. At first I thought I can't do this, as the daily points were so low, but as I persevered and realised all the free point foods available and realised it teaches you what foods to avoid. Thank you
I owned the app about one year. Was happy with it, THEN they decided to remove the restaurant guide. You could purchase it separately, which I felt was costly. They took away something Ialready owned, and now would charge me separately for it. VERY UNFAIR! I owned it, it came with my app when I bought it! I refuse to buy it, so I do without it. I felt like I had been robbed.
Confusing app. Also I got it on sale but it's not on sale, it's the free pay for everything version. So if the app maker is willing to be misleading with their sales I don't think they deserve even 1 star. SALE reduced from. $0.99 to $0.00 emplies you get the Full package because its on sale. Not that it's a minimal free version. Scam.
I once was on weight watchers and this app was great. I am doing weight watchers again and the app is so complicated. I used to be able to add items from a "recents" list. This doesn't exist anymore. Also now when I want to create a meal I have to add everything to favorites first and then create a meal from that. I used to be able to create a meal from the "recents" list as well. Seems like they have done away with the recents list which is extremely hindering the app.
For 2 years I put up with a bug that would prevent me from using the premium I paid for. Now the price has doubled, but that bug persists, so I cancelled my sub. Edit: I have sent many requests for supper around this issue!
just downloaded again and upgraded to new plan. there are foods that should be zero points and they are not zero points when you search them...like an egg..any thought to why that is not correct?? Edited- i figured it out the free foods are listed first in green. excited to start using this app!
I signed up years ago on this app. I got a new android phone, which I've always had android and redownloaded it. You did an update prior to getting this new phone, and now I've lost all access to the databases. This is my 3rd phone with your app, I've never had to remove SD cards and copy. I should've been grandfathered
Recently video ads will randomly play after inputting food information. I understand the need for ads, however they will suddenly play at loud volume and its completely unexpected and inappropriate, considering I'm not sat playing games, just wanting to quickly (and discretely!) input food info. It never did this before. Please get rid of the video ads and just use normal, SILENT ads! Also, you have no idea how old the info is in the food search, some is years out of date, no way to delete.
