Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

The app is great for tracking macros, but some of the nutrition data is clearly incorrect, like potatoes having no starch. This makes me question the accuracy of the nutrient information beyond macros.

The app's algorithm doesn't work for me. When trying to gain size, it hardly adjusts my calories or macros during weekly check-ins, even when I experiment by eating more. I question why I'm paying for this app when free ones could do the same.

The app is amazing, but the coaching program needs improvement. It's suggesting a dangerously low caloric intake for a 27-year-old male, which is concerning. Other than that, the app is great for tracking.
