I'd never used a food diary app before and was worried it would be fiddly, but signing up took about five minutes and the setup questions were clear. The calorie target it suggested was sensible and it explained what each number meant without making me feel silly. Now I log my lunch every day and my daughter says I'm more organised than she is.

The app keeps pushing premium features that used to be free and the barcode scanner now misses half of the supermarket items I buy. When I emailed support it took nearly a week to get a reply, and by then I had already found something cheaper that does the same basic logging.

I've been using it since the spring and the suggestions are actually sensible rather than silly. The shopping list it makes from the plan saves me a good twenty minutes each Sunday, though a few of the recipes call for ingredients I…
Read moreGood app, does what I need. Log food in seconds on the way to work and the weekly summary is handy. Only thing is the notifications are a bit too frequent, I've had to turn most of them off.
I first signed up because my GP suggested I track what I eat before my bloods came back a bit high, and I have stuck with it ever since. The food database is huge and most things I eat are already in there. The app is a bit slow to load on my old phone sometimes, but it does the job and I have never really wanted to switch.
Compared with just keeping a notes app, this is far less of a faff for tracking calories. The database saves a lot of typing. The free version does enough for me.
I needed help with portion sizes because I kept guessing and getting it wrong. The app has a handy visual guide for each food. It took a little getting used to, but I'm glad I stuck with it.

The specific thing I've used most is the meal plans, which gave me a week of breakfasts, lunches and dinners on day one. I followed them for the first month and I'm down a fair bit. The recipes are simple, but a couple of the portions were larger than I expected so I had to adjust them.
Compared with the other trackers I looked at, the price wasn't bad and it logs food and workouts in one place. The app did freeze once when I was adding a recipe, but restarting it fixed things. Would be a bit happier with a cheaper annual option.
