Major Highlights of the Week

Inconsistent Scans
The app provides different calorie estimates for the same food item when scanned multiple times, leading to user frustration and distrust in the app's accuracy. This inconsistency undermines the app's core promise of reliable AI-powered calorie tracking.
I scanned the same item twice and got two different calorie counts each time.
Subscription Confusion
Users are confused and frustrated by unexpected charges and unclear subscription terms, leading to dissatisfaction and distrust. This issue is exacerbated by perceived bait-and-switch tactics and a lack of responsive customer support.
I was charged more than advertised and couldn't find any customer support to resolve it.
Lack of Free Trial
The absence of a free trial prevents users from experiencing the app's features before committing financially, leading to negative perceptions and potential loss of new users. This paywall approach is seen as a barrier to entry and discourages potential subscribers.
I couldn't try the app without paying first, which felt unfair and suspicious.
Persistent Login Issues
A recent update has introduced a bug that forces users to log in repeatedly, disrupting the user experience and causing frustration. This issue affects the app's usability and may lead to user attrition if not addressed promptly.
Every time I restart the app, it logs me out and asks for login again.
Missing Saved Entries
Users report that saved food entries disappear after some time, which diminishes the app's reliability and convenience. This issue is particularly problematic for users who rely on saved entries for consistent tracking.
My saved meals disappear after a few hours, which is very frustrating.
Inaccurate Calorie Estimates
The app sometimes provides inaccurate calorie and macronutrient estimates, especially when scanning barcodes, which undermines its credibility as a reliable nutrition tracker. This inaccuracy is a critical flaw for users seeking precise dietary tracking.
The app miscalculated the calories for a protein bar, showing 250 instead of 180.

Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

The app is a great concept but lacks a trial period, forcing users to pay before trying it out. It also prompts for a review too early, and the calorie estimates can be inaccurate, like underestimating the weight of food.

I love the app but I paid for the 1-year membership yesterday and it’s telling me to pay again. This needs to be fixed as it's frustrating for users who have already paid.

The AI portion of the app is great, but there are several issues like no connection to Apple Health, difficulty in correcting macros, and a lack of manual entry options. These make the app harder to use than expected.
