Sequencing

Verdict is it's good value for what you get. The free version covers most of what I need, tracking calories and the odd recipe, so I haven't touched the paid tier. Signing up took about two minutes.

Got this because I was snacking constantly at work and wanted something to keep me on track. The meal ideas are quick and the reminders are not annoying. Feels like a proper help rather than a faff.

I'd been using paper diet sheets from the surgery for years and this beats them easily. The app tracks my weight and shows me the trend, which my old sheets never did. I've been on it for a good while now and my GP has noticed the difference at my check ups.

Bought the monthly meal plan subscription on my phone during my lunch break. Set it up in the app and the first week's shopping list was already there when I got home. Really handy for someone who keeps forgetting what's in the fridge.

Needed something to help me cut down on bread and biscuits before my wife's birthday. Signed up in about five minutes and the first plan was ready straight away. Works fine on my phone.

Honestly the recipe search by what's in the fridge is the best bit, I was skint and it saved me ordering a takeaway. Signed up on my phone in about two minutes, no faff at all. Takes a bit of getting used to but it's good.

Way better than the other app I was using, which kept logging me out mid meal plan. Sat down on the bus and had my week sorted in about ten mins, the grocery list pulled itself together from the plan which saved me loads of faff. Only thing I'd say is the search is a bit fussy but otherwise spot on for someone who never has time to think about food.

Tried the barcode scanner on this one first, and it picked up most tins and jars without any bother. I compared it against two other apps before paying and this was the only one that let me see the plan before signing up. The price is a bit higher than the others I looked at, and cancelling the subscription took a few emails before it went through.

Bought the weekly meal plan add on after trying the free version for a month. The plan landed in the app on the Sunday like it said it would. Recipes are mostly fine but a couple used ingredients I had to hunt down in two shops.

Got this to stop snacking at work and it's kinda helped? The recipe search by what's in the fridge is the best bit, I was skint and it saved me ordering a takeaway. Sign up was quick but the app logged me out once, which was annoying. Would use again tbh.

Liked that you can search recipes by what's already in the fridge, which is handy when you're skint. Only thing is the photos don't always match the food. Otherwise it's easy to use and the plans don't feel too strict.

The food log is the best bit, the database is big and the entries are mostly accurate. I've used a few of these over the years and this is the one I keep coming back to. Setup was easy.

Switched to this from my old nutritionist app and honestly it's way cheaper and does more. The food log is quick and the barcode scanner actually works, which the other one never did. Only been using it a few weeks but I'm already sticking to it better.

I needed something to help me keep track of what I was eating after my doctor flagged my blood sugar, and I've been using this for nearly three years now. It does the job. The plans got a bit repetitive last winter and the support emails took nearly a week to come back when I had a question, but I've stuck with it.

Honestly this is worth a try if you want a bit of structure with your eating. Signing up took two minutes and the first week's plan arrived in my inbox straight away. The recipes are simple and most of the ingredients were already in my cupboard. Only niggle was that a couple of the portion sizes looked smaller than I expected.

Needed a reset after the Christmas blowout and figured I'd give this a go. It took a bit of setting up and the plans felt a bit generic at first. Once I'd tweaked the settings it started working for me, but the first week was frustrating.

Got the custom plan from the site on my laptop over my coffee break. Filled in my height, weight and what I like to eat and it came back the same day with a week of meals. Stuck it on my phone and I'm sorted for the week.

The barcode scanner is the bit I use most, and it picked up nearly every tin and jar in my cupboard without me typing anything in. I've been tracking my carbs for a while now because of my insulin, and the nutrition breakdown is more detailed than the leaflet the nurse gave me. The meal plans are sensible and don't assume you have hours to cook. Sync between my phone and laptop works fine too, which I wasn't expecting.

Went with the free version first and it covers most of what I need, so I didn't bother with the paid plan. The food log does everything I want and I've not missed the extras. If you're on a budget there's no need to pay for the upgrade.

Compared it with the other diet app my sister uses and this one felt more detailed, though it took a while to find the settings I needed. The meal plans are decent and the food database is huge. Took a few days to get a reply from support when I couldn't link my account.
