✓ I’m getting the gains!This app is super easy to use, and works with other brands to help with your weight loss and fitness goals! Using this App, My Food Bag healthy food boxes and Smashing out Fitness classes and Outdoor activities with F45 and my Apple Watch is all seeing my make some exciting goals!! Can’t rate this App high enough your making this so easy!!.Lazzagains22Version: 22.17.5

✓ My Fitness Pal ReviewStill learning how to use it but it is a GREAT APP so far! If possible, it would be nice to have an occupation category to be able to see how many calories you would approximately burn at work. Also, would be nice if you were able to share recipes so you don't have to enter all ingredients manually, twice. For example my husband and I are using the app and eating the same dishes..Ver0713Version: 7.23

✓ Better than any Diet club ever for getting results!!Well what can I saw? In less than 2 months I have successfully lost half a stone and eaten what I want but using the calorie control counter! Love that the more I move the more calories I gain to use to eat more if I choose. I’ve been a Slimming World member, Weight Watcher member, Rosemary Connelly and joined/tried so many other diet fad agencies with little success or short success as the weight all piled back on but with The My FitnessPal it’s finally made me realise that ALL foods contains calories. There’s no ‘eat as much as you want and lose weight’ crazy philosophy to losing weight!! It’s plain and simple........if you eat more than you move then weight stays on from any overeating you do so since I now stay on my calorie counting allowance the lbs steadily come off and are staying off and it’s for FREE!!!!! Fantastic app, 100% recommend a try if all else fails!.NeroHuskyVersion: 19.4.5

✓ Worth paying for premiumI’ve been using this app on and off for 4 years and have a current consistent streak of 1.33 years. First: The free version is excellent. You don’t have to go to premium. In fact, until you have a reliable habit of entering everything (honestly), I wouldn’t bother. But once you have that reliable entry of data, the Premium option to export data into excel is fantastic. It can be easy to become discouraged when plateaus happen but 2-3 times, a data dump has enabled me to draw very clear cause and effect that helped reinvigorate my efforts. It’s easy to ‘feel’ like you’re doing everything right - but the data tells another story. It also works the other way - showing you when you’ve plateaued because you’ve eaten too little. The macro data is also interesting and helpful. I’ve lost almost 30kg so far, another 10 to go, and I think I would give this app a solid 1/3rd of the credit as a solid, useful tool that isn’t buggy and helps keep me going..Von_MVersion: 20.20.0

✓ A reliable and easy app to help track your eatingI have used this app on and off over the years when my interest peaks back to my health and this app makes it so easy to track calories and nutrition in your diet. It has a Huge database of foods in it and you can even add in your own. It is probably my most used and consistent app next to the obvious social media ones. I am not a personal trainer or anything like that so this app takes the stress and guess work out of my daily food intake..DemzorVersion: 21.9.5

✓ Love this app!I've been using this app for 18 months in conjunction with my Fitbit exercise tracker. The apps sync with each other so that I'm encouraged to exercise I order to increase the number of kilojoules I can eat. Fitness pal is very easy to use. You can scan barcodes, add your own recipes or meals, or just look up by name from the massive database. I find losing weight with this app relatively easy as long as you enter all your food BEFORE you put it in your mouth! I have several friends who now use this app and love it as much as I do!.Sono97Version: 7.23

✓ Best calorie tracker that's freeI have tried a few of the free apps, and this one has a nice user interface that is easy to use. The graphs are nice, I have not felt the need for the pay version (free works fine for me). I use it for food logging and send all the data to my Fitbit for the best of both worlds. Few things that I think are missing from this app (and others). 1) It would be nice to track other body measurements like bust, legs, arm etc. Also, it would be nice if you could actually 'track your fitness' and measure goals for that. It is called 'myfitnesspal' after all! 2) It would be nice if you could measure as you increased weight or reps for strength training And see this reported so that you could visualize the accomplishment. 3). I think this isn’t best food tracker out there, but what it’s missing is an ability to track how you ‘feel’. If you could add things like bloated, tired, gassy, headache, or other common terms you could see the impact that certain foods or lack of exercise had on you. And this could motivate you to creat new habits or stick to those your trying to incorporate into your routine..Mal5177Version: 21.4.6

✓ Amazing app but not intermittent fasting featureAmazing app. Dependent on it for tracking my nutrition. Premium is highly recommended if you are serious about nutrition tracking and building your own habit plans. However, I am not a big fan of the intermittent fasting feature introduced recently. It is very manual and you the fasting cannot start automatically. I guess there is a point in that bit you can’t log an earlier fasting if you forget to start manually unfortunately. Also, at this point it is very basic (unlike BodyFast app).EmbeddedhaniVersion: 22.25.2

✓ Pretty great, easy to useI started using this app when the USDA discontinued SuperTracker in 2017. Really simple to use imo, has a huge database and the barcode scanner makes it even easier to find things. You can also create your own recipes if you don’t want to add ingredients one by one every time. They provide a lot of free health articles too, which can be really useful if you’re just getting into nutrition. Overall I think this app is really helpful and user friendly; but I have two main complaints: 1. For some reason the app has always been a pretty heavy battery drain; I thought maybe it was my old phone but this one is only a week old and has a similar issue 2. The original macro colors were blue carbs, red fat, and green protein. These have changed multiple times over the years but the most recent has switched fat from red to purple and protein from purple to red, which makes it hard to use at a glance. Personally I just think the original colors were easier to distinguish from one another ** Update on this point: please let us choose what colors we want macros to be, the constant changing with every update is really inconvenient. Thanks.PurpleTurtlesssVersion: 21.23.5

✓ Pretty good, top choice for me, minor flawsOverall, I’ve used this app for many years on and off. I keep coming back because it has many things for free that a lot of other apps do not have and I appreciate that! The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is because I’ve noticed a few times that when using the barcode to scan in calories and nutrition MFP is off and does not match the dietary information on the packaging. The most recent 2 being, great value home style waffles packaging says 130 per serving (2waffles) MFP when scanning the barcode puts it at 200 and the ingredient count is off and the second one, being Lance Peanut bar original 9g protein packaging says 330 and MFP has it at 340 and again the ingredient count is off. The upside to this is I’ve learned to watch what it says and edit the nutrition which a good feature, but the downfall is if I didn’t have the packaging and just searched I wouldn’t know and at that point I’m forced to trust it. I think a lot of the food options need to be updated. Another thing is it doesn’t track the step count very well if at all. The calories through it are always 0. It does however, sync excellently with my Apple Watch activity. Outside of this, I really like this app!.Tsampson09Version: 21.13.0

✓ Best app ever for realistic weight lossI can’t explain how much a I love my fitness pal, it truly is the only way I have been able to loose weight over the last 10 years. Successful lost 2 stone before pregnancy, 3 stone loss after pregnancy, and more recently after gaining weight due to medication a while ago and struggling to shift the extra few stone with everything else I’ve tried I came back to my fitness pal because I knew it was the only way I’ve lost weight before and I wish I had done it sooner. I’ve already dropped 12 pounds in 2 months, I’m feeling fantastic, I don’t have to cut any food groups out, I can still go for meals out and have a drink at the weekends, yes I make sensible choices now but logging everything I eat and drink every day has been an absolute god send for me and I can’t wait to loose my next 12 pounds and get to my goal weight loss ! Thank you for changing my life for the 3rd time now !.RayhairgirlieVersion: 22.15.0

✓ It worksCICO (calories in calories out) works. Even if you’re not planning on changing your eating habits, it helps to just track what you’re eating with MFP. There’s a whole world of nutrition and forums, videos, websites, cook books and apps dedicated to this type of thing. You can get into it all by starting with a calorie counting app like this one. I don’t use any of MFP’s features except for the calorie tracking ones. I do use the “recipe” feature a lot as it lets me portion out big batches appropriately. For example, earlier today I knew to portion a beef stew I made into 11 servings so they’d be at 538 calories each. How would you get that kind of insight without carefully tracking he ingredients of a recipe? You wouldn’t. My one complaint is that I’ve had the recipe app crash MULTIPLE times while I’m in the middle of cooking. Obviously this is a pain because I can’t just remember the itemized list of ingredients in painstakingly measured grams. My workaround is to save every few additions so I don’t lose too much if it crashes. And it shouldn’t be crashing, I’m using MFP on an iPhone 12 Pro. If it’s going to be an ideal user experience anywhere, it should be on this. Can’t imagine how much worse it is on inferior hardware. Get your $;&@/ together MFP devs, figure out how to not let your app crash and lose data..AppstorereviewwriterVersion: 21.6.5

✓ My 1st review in 13 years, listen inAs the title says, no app has changed my life to such a degree, that I felt moved to write a review. This is amazing. In 9 months, I lost over 4 stone. I was about 7lbs away from my bmi, which I unreservedly know I would have attained. Due to the Covid 19 pandemic, I’m now just maintaining weight by using this app. My weight has been up and down all my adult life and as I’ve got older, methods that used to work, stopped working. I decided to try this app. What it has done is reprogram my brain re what I thought was healthy and what is actually healthy. Instead of preaching and placing confines on certain foods, it allows you to choose what you eat/drink within limits. I have gone from convenience food to a more whole food based diet. I do get to have alcohol, cakes, biscuits in moderation but moderation is how this has programmed my brain and I’m satisfied with that. It is a little tricky and time consuming at the start. Anyone who has asked me about the app, I tell them to use the first 2 weeks as a trial and error period to get used to it. Within weeks you will have a database of meals/foods that help you hit targets. Now that I’m at a comfortable weight, I am recording my exercise using the built in workout plans. If you are medically obese, like I was, I would strongly recommend using this. If it seems difficult, stick with it and it will become second nature. Thank you so much MyFitnessPal.JumpyjackVersion: 20.8.1

✓ Great app but ...Fasting/cleansing is not dangerous. It would be great if this ability to record was added into the app instead of a warning message telling me about safe weight loss and I'm not eating enough. Fasting has been practiced for thousands of years. Nobody died from a one or two day fast. Otherwise great app..Nise6196Version: 7.23

✓ Great App to kickstart your healthy journey!I’ve been using this app for little over a year now. If you are wanting to start your journey into getting healthy but feel overwhelmed with the idea of meal tracking I’d highly suggest this app! The fact that you can just scan the barcode and then input the serving size you actually use makes it so easy! Plus you get to create your own meals and recipes so they are one click away when you eat them. You also don’t need the fret over calculating the tracking info when you eat out, they already have that listed for most major restaurants. The only issue I’ve had in the past two weeks or so is the app struggling to record data from my other fitness apps. It’s not been calculating my exercise from the iOS app. I’ve noticed this has been an issue since the most recent update when they changed the setup of the dashboard. Yes I have tried all the recommended steps, reupload all my apps and everything. Make sure it has permission to use the data, etc. Hopefully it’s just a simple bug that can be fixed. I miss having all my healthy data together in one location..Alliekat04Version: 22.10.5

✓ A great starting point to see if you are over eating or under eatingI find this app so so easy to use. Anybody could use it. I just use the free version not 'premium'. And let me tell you really this is all most people will only need. I'm a man and I find I'm always on the go, food for me is the key but with my busy lifestyle I generally find I binge eat and not always the with healthy things blast you Tesco meal deals!! So long story short you can imagine I look and always have felt underweight (most of my life) Then I found this app! Pure Gold!!! For weight gainers and people looking to lose weight and just maintain a balance in general. So I'm trying to gain weight through increasing my calorie intake. I set the lofty goal of 3600 as an 'over goal' meaning if I aim high then realistically because I'm not a bodybuilder, for me I'd be happy to achieve anything in the 3000 range to ensure I gain weight. In the last 2 months I've gained 2.7kgs so I'm chuffed, my goal it to gain about another 7kgs. So it's going well thanks to this app. So simple, a no brainier! Just get it I say!!.NyunyuuVersion: 18.8.0

✓ My Fitness PalThe info and detail is great - nutrition, macros, calories, with breakdowns etc. Never scanned a food not on the database. Only issue is the app is sometimes a bit counter intuitive to navigate, especially entering food. Still well worth the money..HelenJ74Version: 20.24.7

✓ Helped Me Improve My Health For The BetterThe app provides you with the tools you need to take control of your diet and health. It helped me lose 15kg over a year. But it's not just for dieting it's a tool I'd encourage anyone to use it every day just to keep track, to be mindful and be in control of your consumption habits. The blog article on macronutriants and the respective 30 day challenge is awesome and I encourage anyone new to the app to enroll. It genuinely feels like they have gone above and beyond to make something that adds value on a daily basis. Developers are responsive and updates are timely. They respond to feature requests. Only gripe: The premium product is very good value however I do think that for those of us who dont use half of the modules/features then perhaps there coule be a lighter and cheaper option. For me, the exercise and recipe sections are nice but I use other apps that are more specialised in these areas. I don't need this app to provide those features. The community elements and feed are featureS I never use and they take up half the UX. So to get five stars it would be nice to be able to customise the app make it less heavy and reduce my subscription fee a little as a result..Grand-designsVersion: 21.8.0

✓ Brilliant - and amazing for freeI tried this app a few years ago but couldn’t get into it so I went back to weight watchers which I combined with Paleo for good results. I recently tried this app again and learnt to set my metrics so that the % of fat, carbs and protein suited my chosen diet. Such a great app. I’ve chosen to do the 1 month free premium trail and, after just 3 days, I’m likely to pay the $79 for the year of premium, it’s that good. I can plan all my meals and tweak them to suit my goals, record my weight and take pictures to log my progress along with my body measurements. I could go on, but safe to say, I’m a big fan. Try the free app and consider the month free trial of premium..KacymruVersion: 7.32

✓ Shame on you!Shame on you My Fitness Pal for forcing users to consent to sharing their data if they want to use the app. If you don’t want your data shared My Fitness Pal wont let you use their app! They don’t even tell you who they are sharing your data with!.Black Cat19Version: 19.5.0

✓ LOVE this appI’ve been using this app on and off since around 2014 and has been the best thing to log my daily calorie intake and track my weight loss progress. I love that you can scan the barcode of your food and it picks it up straight away. I also love that I can pop in the link for a recipe and it automatically calculates things and I can see exactly how many calories and what nutrients I’m consuming. Super user friendly, very simple to use. Would recommend this to anyone wanting to track their calorie intake, weight loss or weight gain and nutrient intake..Lea182lea_Version: 21.17.0

✓ Macros tracking is so on point!I was manually tracking my macros on an excel spreadsheet for the longest time. Whenever I cooked a meal I would search the internet and enter all the macros for every single ingredient and then calculate the totals myself. I could honestly kick myself right now after seeing that near enough all the ingredients are in this app and you just enter the weight and it calculates the macros for you. I added a recipe too and was truly amazed at the ease of everything. I just love how everything is in one place - including my workouts which are being pulled from my apple health app! Really grateful for such a well thought out app especially after throwing progress down the drain after giving up on macro tracking following the complexity of how I had been doing it previously!.Natalieh27Version: 20.7.0

✓ Love it!Extremely easy, quick &handy! I absolutely love that I am able to tap &scan foods to keep track of my calories!!! There’s a lot of helpful things this app offers specifically for those who are trying to lose weight, gain muscle, burn fat, tone etc.. highly recommended 😁.Kinks xVersion: 20.5.0

✓ Big thanks to MyFitnessPalThis app is fantastic. I am more cautious of what I eat now. Without this app I think I would still be over eating and gaining more fat. I still have much to learn and this app has been a great start to achieve my goals..KeifioVersion: 22.8.5

✓ Can be a helpful tool but…You must be aware that the majority of the foods in the database are user entered. And MFP makes no attempt to sanity check if the macros add up correctly to the entered calories. Within a margin of error. And the food in question may have been entered incorrectly. You MUST check if the food you are choosing has actually correct values in it. MFP also has very limited graphs and in fact on the website you can’t even graph back very long in time, even if you have Premium. And the data exports from MFP are unusable to create your own graphs. Even with Premium. Also don’t pay for premium unless you actually specifically need those aspects. Personally, Premium wound up being a complete waste of money. Not to mention they lost a large chunk of my data from some years ago. There are better food databases out there. With much better export capabilities..StorminABottleVersion: 21.9.5

✓ Amazing appI would like to say a huge thanks to whoever made this app as it has helped me loose 5.5 pounds so far in 4 months, when I first downloaded this app I was extremely sceptical as they all seem to cost so much money these days with 1 week trails and impossible to unsubscribe, but this app is the complete opposite, although you have to pay for the full experience, I personally don’t I use the free version, which gives you some workouts, ways to track calories/weight and some meal ideas (to get everything you do have to pay), but loosing that much with the free version has to mean something, whether your a teenager or adult I highly recommend. They don’t give you pesky adverts every 10 seconds (you get the odd few) and don’t bombard you to pay for the full version..JimmbarVersion: 20.7.0

✓ Great appI went plant-based a year ago and I’ve found that tracking nutrient levels has been a huge win for me. Highly recommend downloading as it’s so functional and easy to use..Vegan su3bVersion: 19.12.6

✓ Pretty HappyI began investigating nutritional data concerning diet and fitness after reading Kate Hudson’s book. After bouts of mental illness and psychiatrist and occupational therapist visits I found that I were only ‘ill’ because of the fasting on alcohol and cigarettes. I considered dietary supplements yet figured that it would be better to eat the right foods at set times. This app allows me to eat the right foods to get the maximum out of my day and brain. I am excited about this and the integration component so as I may lead an healthy lifestyle and escape the mental baggage..MCRMCVersion: 7.33

✓ Already lost 2kgMyFitnessPal has a huge catalogue of foods available to help keep you tracking and accountable, as well as allowing you to scan the barcodes of your food to help log all nutritional values, not just calories. I've used MyFitnessPal for years on and off, never being truly consistent, but I decided a week ago that I needed to lose this 15kg, and by being able to track exactly how many calories I'm consuming, I've been able to drop 2kg already. Only annoying thing is that it constantly insists that you upgrade to premium, not just in order to access other features such as macros and intermittent fasting scheduling, but also leaves a banner on every single tab in the app. If I want to go premium, I will - it's annoying that I have to look at that ribbon advertising premium everywhere..UserError26Version: 7.36

✓ Best Database and Sync AbilitiesMFP is great. I live in NZ where there are very few tracking apps which mean I don’t have to manually add things all day. It works well with my Fitbit, shows me when I have extra calories available after a workout. Helping me lose weight easily and without robbing myself of the pleasures of eating..YouStoleAllMyNamesVersion: 20.11.0

✓ My fitness palVery easy to use and track what you’re eating, and the exercise completed. It can be personalised and updated or changed as desired.I love the reminder to log feature, it keeps me on track. It also tracks weight loss and your goal. This app is not only for weight loss but weight gain also. I have only marked 4* because of the payment feature required for more detailed information on what foods have fat protein or carbs in them . I am not a premium member as I can not afford to pay monthly for this but I assume it would make the app more user friendly and 5*..LibSakaVersion: 7.36

✓ App ReviewA great service providing a platform for success on a human health quest. The My Fitness Pal application allows anyone to compile a detailed log of nutritional and fitness info into an easy to use, easy to interpret, easy to afford (free), and simple to navigate system. The breakdown of information into multiple charts and graphs is a phenomenal resource. The flexibility of being able to modify multiple facets of your goals such as macro nutrients, weight loss/gain per week, etc. is extremely intuitive and suitable for a wide range of fitness/nutritional goals. Nearly anyone can master this application within a reasonable timeframe of consistent effort and in turn become the master of their fitness/health destiny. My Fitness Pal has provided a great service and allowed for anyone with the desire to do so to achieve the best version of themselves possible. Also, after a long endeavor spanning months or years and reviewing your data in retrospect allows for a particular cognizance for what worked well and what did not. This, in turn, provides a chance to hone an adequate regimen into the ultimate program fine tuned to your personal goals. My Fitness pal provides an amenity that fosters a healthier and happier human race to those who utilize it. This application has earned a large following of motivated individuals for these reasons and stood the test of time. Go forth and conquer your goals with profound efficiency. -Klahr.SSJ KlahrVersion: 19.7.1

✓ Tracking your weightI have used the free app and have not found it that intuitive as every time I want to add a food I have to figure it out again - getting better though. It’s been useful as a food diary and I’m meeting my goal!.Marhak789Version: 20.21.0

✓ Good but could be better with simple fixesSecond time around for me and this app having yo-yo’d with weight and exercise throughout my adult life. The database is much improved mainly thanks to the community of users. The best bits are the ability to barcode items giving accurate data and once you have certain repetitive items it allows you to select those instead of going through multiple screens so that is good. Some easy improvements would enhance the UE /UI. 1- when creating a recipe and adding ingredients manually it would be so helpful to have the option to scan barcode to allow for less time searching for items? 2- when you select a meal I.e breakfast your items which appear in “recent” could be filtered into breakfast items to allow less scrolling? These are only little fixes that would make my life easier. The biggest challenge in continued use of lifestyle apps is ease of use for me-it may be an option in premium mode? However praise for this app-I’m over 90 days in and logging exercise, weight as well as food daily and as I eat most of the time and it really is an eye opener when you see how bad things once were. Thanks to all at My Fitness Pal for this app!.BigAlandOllieVersion: 18.9.1

✓ I love the app so much but I have one complaintI have been using this app properly for about a month and I have been losing the weight consistently that I am aiming to lose (1kg) a week. If you follow it correctly and log in the food correctly, looking at the calories, the nutrients you’ve consumed too (weighing and/or scanning) then it really works , it’s crazy!! It really encourages me to do better and be better. It’s addictive really. My one criticism is the Apple Watch syncing! the steps are always off and same with the calories. The way that it’s done is so weird that I have to manually insert my workouts!!! It should be able to be much easier than that and it’s really annoying and my friend has had the exact same issue. I still gave it 5 stars as my main purpose for this app was weight lost and I’ve lost over 5kg in the last few weeks and this app has enabled me to do this..VickySoetanVersion: 21.6.0

✓ Excellent appThis app is excellent it can scan all your foods and tell you what’s in it carbs, sugar, protein etc you add everything you eat drink and what exercise you do and it will tell you how many calories you have left or have consumed- just pick what you want 1,000 1,200 or 1,600 per day - it also has junk food McDonalds KFC - you can add your own recipes too - if you sign up for extras it is not expensive and has some extra features- I was very surprised to see how much sugar was in so called healthy foods and it also links to your steps from your phone and adds it too - Fabulous.ReeandBobVersion: 19.8.0

✓ Great but a little annoyingWould be good to choose the default display rather than always opening the app the the homepage which I never use.Mr MinitVersion: 22.5.5

✓ Works great now!Goodbye annoying extremely intrusive ads. I wish I can pay to support this fantastic service/app. But 30 is a way over what my budget will allow and not ever ready for drop 180 all at once for a year..ILikeRVVersion: 22.24.0

✓ Somethings could be betterAfter using Cronometer, swapping to MFP has been a bit of a learning curve. Obviously, the database is much bigger but it MFP is a bit clunkier to navigate around compared to Cronometer. One thing that Cronometer has that MFP hasn’t, is the ability to put in a recipe under “grams” instead of serving size. Having grams allows you to measure out what you want after having cooked it. Looking at forums, there is a way around this, but it would be much simpler to have it built into the app in the first place. Definitely worth paying for premium to remove all the ads..MaefygirlVersion: 21.19.5

✓ Everything you need!In not normally one to leave reviews, but this app is fantastic. It might not suit everyone, but I just wanted a food diary and an exercise tracker in one - and this far exceeded my expectations. It gets data from your Apple id about your daily steps, and it lets you build meals and recipes that you can just input to save time. But best off is the simple daily equation it provides, which is : (calories allowed per day - calories consumed) + calories worked off during exercise = calories left for the day. Noom coach wants $80 a month to do the same thing so far as I can tell - this app does it for free. Strongly recommend!.IRead5608Version: 21.19.5

✓ Committment required but worth itWeight loss and maintenance requires commitment and consistency. This app makes it very easy to track daily input in the way of food and output in exercise. Just using the free version but still enough to get results.Sonfar55Version: 7.29.1

✓ Once was fabulous!This was once a fantastic app - tracked food, weight, exercise - even the ads were worth reading!! Unfortunately an “upgrade” in mid June 2022 has left it slow, clunky and cumbersome. Shame….BiddynzVersion: 22.11.0

✓ Loving this tracking appGreat way to track weight, water and most importantly calories and carbohydrates, fats, protein etc. Also tracks calories expended by linking to your smart watch..Nick wahVersion: 22.13.0

✓ Must have Fitness AppMyFitnessPal is an incredible tool for getting a handle on your health and fitness. The app makes it easy to log the food you eat. The calories as well as the grams of each macronutrient. There are too many features to list, but a couple deliver tremendous value. MyFitnessPal automatically updates from my Strava feed, so all my running, biking and strength workouts automatically show up. The food database is very extensive, but you have to know something about the nutritional content of food because some of the food items submitted by users are pretty sketchy. There is, a huge catalog of verified food items, so with a little bit of comparison, you get some accurate data. I do intermittent fasting, where three days a week I eat a very low calorie diet and the other days, I eat normally. MyFitnessPal doesn’t like that and warns me that I’m not eating enough on my low-calorie days. The week view, however, smooths out the daily peaks and values and you can see your averages over time. MyFitnessPal is a valuable tool in my health and fitness program. Along with my Tomtom Cardio watch and Strava, it delivers the metrics I need to stay on track..MC Soy LatteVersion: 7.29.1

✓ This app is greatI tried the app because I got the suggestion from Garmin Connect. It was suggested to install it as they are working hand in hand with Garmin Connect. I hate this kind of apps since I found them very awkward to use. You have to introduce what you ate and probably they have something similar and most of the time they don’t so you have to try to find out what is approximately the menu that you had and you loose time ...and finally you give up. But this app has everything. You find immediately and exactly what you got for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Really awesome!! Therefore, it quite straightforward to introduce your meal and calculate your calories. This app is really great. Because it helps you to keep a close control on what you eat (how many calories) as well as Garmin connect help you with how you spend them!! Really these are working very well together and I highly recommend them both! Nicolas B..Nicolas BVersion: 19.6.5

✓ Great app!I love this app and have recommended it to many friends! I love that you can scan in what you eat, track your progress, your friends can join which means you can develop your own support network and there’s also articles to read along the way. I initially used this app as a weight loss tool but now I use it to monitor my exercise and a healthy eating lifestyle. I know I have to keep track of what I eat if I want to stay fit and healthy, otherwise I make unhealthy food choices. Healthy eating isn’t always easy and it’s being in the right mindset that will keep you on track what ever tool you choose to support you. Planning all your meals ahead of time is a huge part and not eating the same foods every day. I use the Nutrition button as I’m planning my meals to try and make sure I’m eating a healthy balance of food. Plan to make healthy choices 90% of the time and if you do have a treat think of it as a meal time event such a nice lunch or an indulgent pudding, not a whole day. And don’t forget to hit the ‘Complete Diary’ button at the end of each day! Seeing what you could weigh in only 5 weeks is a huge motivation! Good luck!.Deb DebziVersion: 7.25

✓ Love itIt's a great app and easy to use. Love the barcode scanning option, how it remembers your foods and how you can set recipes and meals. A few improvements: it'd be great to be able to write what the food was when entering calories using the quick entry option; also, it'd be good to be able to enter gram quantities rather than having to set quantity to 1 g then have 50 servings of it! I like to enter my meals ahead of time so I know I will have a balanced day within my calore count. It’d be good to be able to tick foods off as I eat them. Lastly, I am currently doing the Michael Mosely fast 800 diet. An intermittent fasting setting would be good as at the moment the app tells me off every night for not eating enough :(.IlacatVersion: 19.12.6

✓ AMAZINGI have been using this app for 3 months now and I am now 1 stone and 3ibs lighter😁 and I am still going. I lose every week even with my cheat days. I am one of those people that have been on a diet for like forever and I have never found something that worked. Until now it’s easy to follow, and doing the calories means you can still eat what you want to as long as you have the calories for it. My partner has also been doing it and he has lost 1 stone and 7ibs. I selected to lose 2ibs a week but I normally lose 1bs a week which I am totally fine with because the 1ibs a week all add up. Slow and steady wins the race! I feel so much better within myself and had so many comments about my weight loss and I am not even at target yet, this app also has a maintain so when I do reach my target I can get the calories to have in order to keep those pounds off and maintain, which I think is amazing cause most times when I lose weight within a couple of weeks it’s back on! Highly recommend this to anyone who wants to lose weight, maintain previous weight lose or gain weight because its offers help with all three of them!! THANKYOU MY FITNESS PAL YOU TRULY ARE MY NEW BEST FRIEND😁😁.2350tammyVersion: 19.8.10

✓ A Brilliant App!!I’ve been using it for many years and reached my target weight a year ago having lost over 9 stone5 pounds. I’ve continued to use it and log my food daily since reaching target and I’m happy to say I’m still within a couple of pounds of my target weight. This is the first time in my life (I’m over 60 now) that I’ve been able to wear the same clothes a year after buying them … and the joy of slipping into a size 8 or 10 is beyond measure!! I’ve now taken the bold step of having given all my size 24 to 28 clothes to charity!! I would never have managed this without this app where I can quickly and easily log and keep a track of my food and calories. I am a little concerned that as of today the barcode scanner seems to have disappeared … this was such a brilliantly easy way to add a new food to my diary. I do hope it’s just a little glitch or something temporary to do with the changes to the app that I’ve read about and that it will be sorted soon??.Fairy GoblinglitterVersion: 22.9.0

✓ Fantastic app- though i would love one extra!I’ve used this app (the free version) for years now to track macros. It’s been a fantastic tool, has a huge variety of foods in its data base. Is easy to scan and add foods and supplements and I love you can see into your friends food diaries for inspiration meals, ideas and motivation. My only wish is that it would have the option to add or track NET CARBS along with total carbs. I know that this would help a much broader variety of healthy lifestyles who focus on net carbs in there diet. I for one am looking at changing my nutrition to focus on net carbs and unfortunately I think I will be forced to look for another app. Please consider including this in your next update!! MFP is really my preferred go to for tracking and if this was available I would more than likely go premium as it does everything else I want!.Abcd BFGVersion: 18.9.1

✓ Losing weightVery pleased with this App. I have linked it to the App. Map My Walk and when I finish my walk the results, i.e. calories used, automatically comes off my daily intake of calories eaten. I am disabled and have limited walking, so walking with my rollator/walker is my walk for the day and everything this App with Map My Walk App. does helps me lose weight. I don’t have premium, but I find the standard App. enough for me. I love the recipe addition as all my meals are home made and I can copy them into the dinner section when ever I have the recipe that is saved. Even portions of everything I have recorded is in the history section, so no need to keep looking up the food and wondering what the weight, say potatoes, was the last time I ate them. Thank you for producing this App..Janmcc1951Version: 20.12.0

✓ Premium VersionFor me the free version isn't useful at all, but the premium version is great. I'm training for my first marathon and have just been guessing my daily intake by roughly counting calories and judging my macro intake. This really is so much more helpful with the macronutrient daily calculator so I can keep myself on track. I'd typically end up binging mid afternoon on cheat foods which did not help my energy levels when I came to do exercise after work. I should've realised sooner that I wasn't judging my macros right or eating the right foods at the right times, but the premium version breaks this down for you. Being able to see everything you're taking onboard makes you think about what you're eating, especially before grabbing that extra biscuit!.Leanne&hollyVersion: 7.35

✓ Gross Pictures with Ads but extensive databaseI’ve been using this app for years. There are so many ads now which I understand. But some of them pop up on your feed right when you open the app and there are some really gross images. A lot of times I am eating when I enter my calories and the images for the weird ads are so gross it makes me stop eating and lose my appetite. There was one that came up for weeks that showed someone getting ear wax removed. Now I logged in and it shows a close up of someone removing some type of gross substance from the back of their throat. Why would you have these kinds of ads show up on the home page of a food log app? Also, if you sync with Fitbit it enters your workouts automatically but it also tracks your steps and gives you a calorie adjustment for that as well, which Is like double tracking. If you go for a run for example, it will sync the workout from fitbit and give you the calories for that, and then also add in your steps from the run and give you more calories which I don’t think is accurate. Other than that, no other food app compares as far as the extensive food database and the ease of being able to enter recipes, meals, etc. I also love the social functionality where friends can comment on your status. Of course they have to scroll through all the ads in the feed to find your updates, and overlook the gross images of earwax and other things..AliHart1983Version: 20.11.0

✓ Great app - Definitely get this one!!!I’ve used MyFitnessPal on and off for several years, both the free and premium version. The only features I used from premium was the “time stamp” and “no ads”. I’ve reverted back to the free version, because it has everything I need. The barcode scanner is great, and if the product isn’t there - you can add it. (Please include everything on the nutritional panel, guys) One thing that would help is if people would check their spelling when adding products to the lists, as these become available to us all and can make searching difficult. Absolutely love the recipe and meal features. You can add a favourite family recipe - and it will calculate how many calories per serving. I recommend keeping it to weight/per gram, so you can weigh your portion and get the true caloric value. In hindsight, it seems that the best way to get results it is to track your planned food BEFORE you eat. There are some sneaky calories out there! I’ve recommended the app to several people, I like the diary sharing option (with password) which can help with accountability and partnering on your health journey. It can be used in conjunction with many fitness trackers and exercise apps. All in all, it’s definitely a worthwhile app to use - both free and premium versions. Give it a go, you won’t regret it..DeniseJoy2019Version: 19.2.0

✓ Love it! but here’s an idea...I absolutely love MFP. I use it every day in my journey in the gym, it’s so handy and easy to use; I love to see exactly how much protein, carbs, fats etc is going into my body But I would love a feature where we can change it to a checklist if you will. I (along with lots of people) pre plan our days. Now if there was an option to “make checklist” where all the food we’ve put in get’s a little circle next to it; and we can “check it off” when we eat it; that would be awesome!! Obviously not demanding it; just a thought :-).Very annoyed about this 100%Version: 20.12.0

✓ Good motivational toolThis app is fantastic and very easy to use! I have been using Myfitnesspal for 5 months now. Initially, I used this app solely as a weight loss tool; now I use it for so much more! This app allows me to monitor my weight, excercise and water consumption and is a great health tracking app. Clear graphs showing my progress are a good way to keep me motivated. Also, I like the way you can set health goals as something to aim for in the future and work towards. Furthermore, you can share your data in the community section of the app allowing friends to see your progress and help eachother. My favourite feature is that you can scan the barcodes of the food you have consumed, saving time and reducing the tediousness of manually inputting every food item individually. Daily reminders can be setup to stimulate you to input the data, which is extremely useful when you have a busy schedule! Without a doubt, this is the best motivational app I have found and I will continue to use this on my fitness journey..Aims1410Version: 19.12.5

✓ Such a valuable app, and I mean even the free versionI love this app. It is a little tedious to have to track all my food, but it has been so worth it. The app is easy to use. Takes a minute to get to know how everything works and all the possibilities, but really quite simple to use. I have now used it for several years, on and off. This time around, I have found it makes me so much more conscious of the snacking I have been justifying. I now realize just how many extra calories those stupid little snacks, and the little bit of soda, or the mini-chocolates actually contribute to my daily intake. Way more calories than they are worth in nutrition. Accordingly, I have REDUCED my decadent indulgences, and am already losing weight! Those marketing masters, making mini-chocolates so you think, “It’s just little. It can be many calories!” The problem is those mini’s are just as addicting as the full-sized candy bars. So...I can’t just eat one. This app has put the truth in my face. It is now up to me to decide whether those indulgences are worth spending that many calories on. I am getting stronger and stronger! Thanks, Under Armour, for making such great apps for health..MamaChileVersion: 20.16.0

✓ Useful appFinding it useful to see the effect of exercise v calorie intake offset. Also some foods I hadn’t realised were quite so high in sugar. It has certainly made me think more about what I eat but that wasn’t really an issue it was the lack of exercise whilst waiting for an operation. So I can now keep my intake down until I’m fit again to start exercising as I used to..GandiaVersion: 19.9.11

✓ Great app but one irritating bugOverall , hands down - great app. Food database is very large and you’ll almost certainly find your meal choice. But every time I upload activity from my Garmin connect it is uploaded twice. Example: one 3km run is shown on activity section as running jogging with 243 kcal burned and as a new separate line - running (in place) 243 kcal. I have to delete second entry every time so that my diary is accurate. Please resolve.Biggf1shVersion: 20.24.7

✓ Life changing if taken seriouslyI started using this app right at the apex of my weight gain during college. I didn’t participate in high school athletics and had virtually zero knowledge of anything nutritionally beyond, “ There’s a place that shoots out 5 dollar burgers.”. I think it’s most important to look at the composition of macronutrients in a few days worth of your particular diet, not necessarily using this as a “calorie counter”. It’s very hard to ignore some of the numbers that will pop out at you if you are diligent and truthful with yourself. It helps to motivate you in a different direction. Even though everything has nutritional information labeled as a requirement, it’s easy ignore until you start to realize that if Item A has 32g of fat and %4000 percent of my daily sodium intake... and that’s my daily between breakfast and lunch... It could totally swing a large portion of my diet by just omitting that one item. In the past I’ve used this whenever I’ve switched large portions of my dietary ideology. Regardless of if you maintain 100% accuracy after month 3 or 4, I guarantee you will at the very least have a number of eye opening moments if you’ve never scrutinized the make up of your diet..Bored in MidlandVersion: 19.6.0

✓ Accurate appReally like this fitness app. I’ve been using it for about 6 years now and the estimations for weight loss based on calories consumed has been really close to accurate. Highly recommend this app to aid in healthy eating & actually watching what you eat!.Angela_salamoVersion: 19.4.5

✓ Love this appI’ve been reluctant for a number of years to write down what I eat. I was always sceptical about firstly the accuracy of counting calories in when you couldn’t accurately count them going out, especially when you can burn calories while you sleep. However as wearable technology entered the market place that can reasonably accurately measure calories burned during workouts etc the next step was obviously counting calories going in. I’ve found that the scannable barcode method of meals and foods has made recording food diaries so easy. I tried a couple of other apps but this one works well for me..Anzac21Version: 20.24.7

✓ App freezesBeen using the app for 6 weeks now and recently upgraded to premium. Ever since it freezes when I try to add meals from the ‘recipe discovery’ option. Furthermore, it appears to freeze when trying to make adjustments to my custom dashboard which is becoming super frustrating. Other than the above I’ve really enjoyed what the apps offers etc..Nonicknamerequired12345Version: 20.3.0

✓ This worksOkay not only have I lost a lot of weight I have also got a better and healthier life style. I go for walks, runs, workout and hang with the family even more. This is so worth the time and it is absolutely free!! Have a good time loosing weight xx.𝚋𝚛𝚘𝚘𝚔𝚎𝚎𝚎𝚎𝚎𝚎𝚎Version: 19.8.10

✓ Eye openingUsing this app has been eye opening to how much extra energy I have been putting in my body. Being able to scan and count Kjs has completely transformed my eating in one short week! Thank you!.SatisfictionSpeaksVersion: 21.22.5

✓ Additional food optionsHey, I really love what you do here, this app has made it so much easier to count my calories and eat the most efficient foods. I don’t know if you guys read these or they are just made to the public, but if you do I think it would be beneficial to both you and the user to add Aldi products to your collection, as I’’ from Melbourne and that is a very prevalent brand here where I get most my shopping from, it is just hard to count your exact calories when your entering slightly inaccurate nutrition information. Anyway, still love the app cheers..123wrgtuikolytrgrinjVersion: 20.20.0

✓ Super helpfulThe food tracking is really helpful and is a super useful tool to help me focus on getting the right amount of calories each day and calculating the macros..AidygayVersion: 22.13.0

✓ Awesome training and weight loss partnerIt wasn’t the only tool, but without the help, the planning and resources available in this fantastic app, I’d still be a fatty!!! I’ve lost 65 kilograms, that’s 150 pounds or almost 11 stone! Huge in any language. I know about weight loss, all this trying for all this time, it’d be impossible not to pick up a little knowledge, but my number one must /have/do tip is get a plan and focus on the metrics,(measurements). My Fitness Pal gives me that and more. Get it, pay the money and get the full version and then get its companion, Map My Walk, you will see results. My Fitness Pal is everything an app should be! Rob.Rob PoolVersion: 20.10.0

✓ A great app!In these times of lockdown it’s pretty obvious, from the thousands of online comments, that stay at home eating patterns are changing and people are concerned about weight gain. I’m definitely no different and have been determined to not let binge eating get the better of me.....but it’s easier said than done! So I wanted to try and find a way of clearly tracking my calorie intake and was lucky enough to stumble across this great little app. It’s fantastic and has many different features (many of which I haven’t had chance to try yet) but the calorie recording is brilliant and accurate, allowing me to see what I’m taking in, what my daily calorie goal is and how much I burn with exercise....simple but concise and I love it!!! If you’re looking for a great all round fitness app you need to give this a try 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻.Caz81271Version: 20.8.1

✓ It used to be much betterI use this daily, and I generally like the features and that it syncs with iPhone health and my fitness pal easily. It doesn’t work so well on the treadmill as my Gym’s internet connection is a bit iffy, but I can input the details after. What I really really hate about the recent changes to it is that it defaults to “community” and to sharing your updates “with friends”. You don’t seem to be able to change the settings so that it doesn’t do this. So it’s a pain to have to change this setting every time. I absolutely couldn’t care less about anyone else’s exercise and I have zero interest in seeing anything about it. Likewise, my exercise is private - I consider this my sensitive personal data - and I just do not want anyone else seeing anything about my exercise. When the app first changed I accidentally logged some exercise to “share with friends” because it defaults to that. It doesn’t allow you to go back in and change it - so although I don’t have any friends on it (and never will) I’m cross that it defaulted to sharing something I consider private. I won’t stop using it as I do like to track my exercise and those bits of the app work well. I just wish it would allow you to automatically default to not sharing anything. I’m not interested in exercise social media - that’s not what I want it for..Hebp242Version: 7.29.1

✓ Use and LoseIt’s a very user friendly tool, has lists of food options to count kilojoules. Never been easier. Helped me be more disciplined and conscious of what I’m eating. It’s also so much easier than a restrictive diet and I’m losing weight. Really worth it!.LucibelsVersion: 20.5.0

✓ WorkoutsI have been using JEFIT for a couple of years. As I wanted to track my calories I started using this app. However, what is lacking in the myWorkout section is a timer. This is a basic requirement of a good fitness app. Also lacking is the ability to link exercises or build your own HIIT programme. Guys I am will to pay for the subscription but not till you get the basics right..ClintgabiVersion: 21.25.7

✓ Does what it says on the tinReally easy to use and I have found it to be very useful (I use the free version). I was carrying a few extra pounds after the build up to Christmas and just couldn’t shift them. Downloaded the app and in 3 weeks I’m back to target weight by just recording and monitoring what I eat. It has stopped me snacking and motivated me to exercise more. It also makes me think about the sorts of foods I’m eating and not just reach for the biscuit tin. Another bonus I’ve found is I can see the range of foods I’m eating in terms of nutrients. For example, I noticed that I was eating a good amount of fish and hardly any meat. Without recording my food I wouldn’t have noticed that about my diet. Spending just a few minutes a day, I’ve found results are easy to achieve and will use this app time and time again I’m sure..JessicacayatanaVersion: 19.12.6

✓ BEST APP EVERHands down the best app you could ever have, whether you're trying to gain weight, or lose weight, this app helps you achieve your goals...AND ITS FREE? With notifications reminding you to log your food, this app makes tracking your progress so easy. I'd recommend this to anyone with serious gym goals!.Alawi MatroodVersion: 22.23.0

✓ My bible for weight lossI love just about everything in this app. It’s easy to track my food. The only 2 things I would like to see added and removed is: 1: please add body measurements, these are just as important as weight. Sometimes we lose measurements instead of weight and would be awesome to track these as well. PS this feature is in most other apps! 2: Take the videos from the front page and move them to a tab so you can choose to look at them. This app is my bible for helping with weight loss. Please consider the 2 changes especially the body measurements.Nutsy_3Version: 18.8.5

✓ One Small Feature RequestI’ve tried experimenting with other apps that almost all have better UI, but always lack something big, like a smaller pool of food available in their database to scan barcodes for which I find to be the main reason I use this app. But one thing other apps tend to have that this one doesn’t would be for a recommended nutrition breakdown per meal, in addition to the already existing total goal for the day. This gives me an idea on how important each meal is and allows me to recognize what parts of the day I slack on my nutrition and push me to try and meet that goal. It sounds basic and obvious but having the numbers presented in front of me that I haven’t met my goal yet gives me the motivation to look around for more options to eat than I’d routinely do. It also gives me an idea of how close/far I am to reaching those goals throughout the day. Without this feature, I can slack on breakfast or lunch and end up thinking I got a somewhat good meal, I’ll just have to eat a little more on my next meal, then by the time I get about halfway through the day and see how many calories and other nutritional categories I still have to get, I think to myself there’s no way I can get that many in the next meal or two, and I end up settling well short of my goal..DrScrub15Version: 20.10.0

✓ MyFitnessPal-MyFitnessMustI’ve been hooked on MyFitnessPal since April 2016 when I weighed in at 120kg now I’m 97kg MyFitnessPal has been very valuable to helping me keep track of my health and fitness progress. It’s become a Must for me to fill in each day and I enjoy all the very informative posts, I’ve learnt a lot of new & fun exercises which helps to mix up my training sessions so I never get bored with the same repetitive routine 10 out of 10 MyFitnessPal 👍.Sanicanes😃Version: 19.9.11

✓ Well worth itFree app that makes tracking your food consumption easy just scan the barcode or put in the name and has all the details there takes out all the hard work of tracking your calories.AndrewchchVersion: 19.6.1

✓ Good app but could use a few improvementsI’ve been using the premium version for a while now, and I think overall the app is very convenient and quick. I especially enjoy the extensive food database, since I rarely need to add my own nutritional info for food. I would however like to suggest a few improvements: - currently you can add directions to meals but not recipes... which doesn’t make a lot of sense imo (unless I’m missing something here) - for the dashboard, it would be good to have a few more display options, such as to not show calories or to show % remaining of nutrients - I wish net carbs was a thing, since it is easy to over consume fibre when on a calorie deficit, and end up having less calories from carbs and then getting less energy for workouts/day to day activities. It’s also easier to plan macros based on net carbs imo. This will probably never be read but whatever lol.OhcomeoniseverynicknametakenVersion: 20.3.0

✓ TrackingOriginally got this to monitor and track my daily intake. I’m not a big on fitness or routine exercising so I can’t comment on fitness tracking. When I do decide to get a Fitbit or Apple Watch, I’d hope it would add any activity data from that to the app to include in my daily fitness stats. At the moment it only includes activity taken from my phone which only tracks when I walk with my phone. Would be nice to add steps taken manually when my phone isn’t with me. I’m quite fond of the barcode scanner and preset foods for everyday non-packaged foods. Overall, it does make me aware of how much I’m eating and if I’m drinking enough water..Chloe_666Version: 21.15.5

✓ Exercise confusionJust downloaded the app yesterday and so far so good, will take a little getting used to see how good it really is in the long term. However one thing is when entering my exercise I wanted to enter sprinter lunges and side to side jumps but they were only in the strength sub category and didn’t calculate calories so I tried the cardio sub category and both exercises weren’t there at all so I have no idea of the calories I burned. Would it not be valuable to just have all the exercises in both sub categories ? and also enter number of reps as well/instead of minutes ?.DGavetVersion: 19.12.0

✓ The Shoulder Help deskFitbit has saved me from feeling I couldn’t get back to an sort of healthy lifestyle. Once you get the wristband, you have all the information of your daily achievements, or non achievements. I also wrote down my weekly statistics and kept a competition going for a better week. It’s great, not a lot of expense but it’s your life that you are saving. Go for it.AdamaynotVersion: 20.5.0

✓ Great appMy FitnessPal has been amazing. I have been wanting to change my lifestyle for a while but it can be hard with a busy life. By entering my daily diet into the app I have learnt what to change. It has taught me sometimes even a salad can be too many calories if too many ingredients are used. I didn’t realise the sugar content can be high in a lot of foods that I thought were ‘healthy’. I love that the app tracks my steps every day too. I have lost 4kgs in a month and hope to lose more in the near future but I am also able to use the app to maintain my current weight..AnonsssVersion: 19.4.5

✓ Easy appI really like using this app, but I’ve noticed that when I look back on the previous days calories used the totals change and what It read at the end of that day It would be in the green and when I look back at that same day the calories used has gone in the red. The totals change in ‘exercise’ which is weird. So you think you’re on track and then it changes on you. Can you please fix this or explain why it does this..Jen134Version: 19.8.7

✓ Dietary Restriction Alerts & Polar CompatibilityIn my own, personal opinion, the features that would earn fifth star would be to expand compatibility toward Polar brand products and applications, and to allow users to enter in specific ingredient, calorie, macro/micronutrient restrictions to be alerted to in meals & recipes. It would be great to know if something I ate (or am logging because I'm about to eat) will conflict with a low FODMAP diet, or has more of a specific nutrient than I want at the time. I recall a previous version that would offer food tips ("this food is high in sodium", "this food is a great source of vitamin c", etc.) I haven't yet tried the paid version, and these could be included there, but I felt it worth mentioning. Overall, the app comes packed with so many intuitive, convenient features, I have succeeded in making journaling with it part of my daily dietary considerations. The terms and conditions of the challenges offered are abjectly terrifying, though, and ought to be more prominently featured before agreeing to them. Currently, the language you provide allows sponsoring companies the freedom to scour my phone for any notes I've taken to work on business projects of my own during my participation, and hamstrings me to do anything to defend my own privacy and trade secrets afterward if they take any action on them. Not cool..Casey AlinVersion: 7.26

✓ Keep track of those calories!I have been using the app for a few days now in order to track my calories as part of a fitness regime. The calorie counter is fantastic as you can just scan the food packaging and so far it has found everything without fail. If you are one who cooks from basic ingredients this still works as you can just search any food item. Even more impressive- found a recipe on the internet? simply cut and paste the url into the app and it imports all the ingredients and calculates the calories! In addition you can keep a record any exercise as part of a journal. The downside is it is not able to calculate the calories used by this exercise (with the exception of the step counter which can pair with your smartphone) so you need to take your own view on what calorie adjustments to make. Overall an excellent (and so far free) app..GymFit20Version: 19.4.1

✓ Great AppI've only been using this app for two weeks and I've lost 2lbs and 2 inches from my waist and hips. Ive really enjoyed tracking my calories through using the barcode scanner. Food items are always in the list and rarely have I ever had to manually input the food I eat. It is also an excellent tool for showing you how much carbs, fat and protein you eat. This is really important for me to be able to do, as I can then plan to avoid certain sugary or fatty foods in my diet. The only downside to this app is the lack of exercises in the list. They could do with updating this a little e.g Legs, Bums and Tums class is a standard class at most gyms. Also no sign of Body Pump classes. By improving this function I would be able to monitor my calorie deficit properly and therefore eat accordingly..K_Lee1986Version: 7.26

✓ Effective tool for weight loss/healthier eatingTracking keeps me honest and accountable. Gives me the leverage to walk away from unhelpful food and to make better choices. Quick entry and copy n paste features make tracking easy. At the end of each day, MFP predicts what my weight might be if every day is like today’s. That’s been a powerful motivator for me. Nutritional breakdowns of food are great for telling me what nutrients I need to eat more or less of. All helps my body feel satisfied. Also links with my exercise app, so exercise downloads automatically to MFP, and I can see the impact of that walk/run. MFP has been a lifeline to me - given me power and control over my food that I’ve been lacking for a long time. No longer feel powerless and defeated. I’m getting brilliant results!.1DiamondSkyVersion: 19.6.5

✓ Not recommended for KiwisI found this app very frustrating to use as even though my profile stated I live in NZ it still brought up food items in avoirdupois weights. I also found it often showed the same item more than once with vastly different values, making it very confusing to choose the right one which obviously impacted on daily totals. The oddest thing was the messages I received at 5.30am reminding me I hadn’t entered my lunch items....WespakVersion: 20.21.0

✓ Keeping me accountableI’ve been on my health journey for about 6 months and have made significant progress, but felt I was guessing a lot when it came to my food choices and the exercise regime I’d developed. My Fitness Pal has really helped me to keep track, particularly as a diabetic I need to manage my carb and sugar intake. I’m able to determine what’s working and what’s not and the graphs have helped me to identify when I’m over doing it with both, and what triggers I need to avoid. I’ve still got a long way to go, but feel better equipped to manage my lifestyle with the app. I’ve lost 32kg in six months, although the first two months were a bit hit and miss, so am optimistic that the remaining weight - still a big number - will come off in a measured and sustainable way. The app plays a big role in my lifestyle and I’m grateful to have it..TietjieVersion: 19.6.1

✓ User friendly and massive selection of foodsI’ve used other food diary apps before but this is by far the best in terms of easy GUI and the selection of food. Heaps of NZ food and very quick and painless to use. And it works; I’ve lost 2kg..55-starVersion: 7.26

✓ Great App for someone with a disabilityI have Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy, and I am a recent heart transplant patient. I lost about 30 pounds before my transplant because I knew it would be a hard transition and it is important to give yourself and those helping you the best edge you possibly can. It’s also important to really educate yourself on nutrition and your body, I studied nutrition on my own did all the exercises I could, learned my body type and how I metabolize food. I also consult with my doctors and get blood work done so I know how to best tweak my diet to maximize my diet and health. Get some it’s always wise to consult with your doctors and even get a basic basic metabolic panel done to check your blood work. I recently gained a few pounds back from being on high doses of prednisone and others that made me super hangry like that already food loving person I am. As knowledgeable I am about nutrition I’m not a machine and this app keeps me accountable and allows me to make the most of my health habits. The key is to have a healthy balance and not obsess over losing weight and constantly over analyzing everything. It also helps me remember to hydrate. Don’t go crazy extreme, pace yourself and allow yourself to have many of the things you crave don’t over indulge make healthier versions of what you crave and eat smaller portions of the things you really want..Miles Of FunVersion: 7.36

✓ Awesome app!Over the years I have used this app for weeks at a time & always found it to be great. Easy to use, easy to navigate everything and simple- straight to the point..JustcallmekeekzVersion: 20.20.0

✓ Issue with automatically adjusting daily macro goals.I set my macronutrient goals which is great to follow. Hitting my targets within 1-2g variance daily. Only I’ve just realised when I actually click on my carbs for the day I’m not really 1-2g of variance the soo glitches and adjusts my goals so when I think I’m 1g out from my 270 carb target because the app says I am. When clicking into carbs I’m actually 8g over my carb target for the day because the app has changed it for the day. Completely frustrating considering it has threw off all my targets for the week. UPDATE: I have managed to switch off the setting that automatically adjusts the goals based off your exercise and daily steps. Problem solved! For anyone else with the same issue go into more-> goals-> scroll to the bottom and click exercise calories -> turn off adjust my calorie goal. Changing review to 5 stars.Annoyed0000Version: 22.8.0

✓ Everything I need for health & fitnessI love this app! I can do everything from just one application - track food, see exercise results, track my progress, and sync my fitness tracker. I’m also getting real value out of the blog: I’ve gotten some great fitness tips, ideas for new exercises, and some new meal plans that are working well. I started using the app just to track food, and it made a big difference to see where my daily calories were actually coming from. I made some simple adjustments to what I was eating and had instant results. I’ve slacked off from my routine a few times, and this app always helps me get back on track. Now I use it for everything :).LeighEllenVersion: 7.29.1

✓ So helpfulThis app is teaching me so much more about food and i’m really beginning to understand what im putting into my body. I started to use this app to support my partner to lose weight, but even i am learning too. And what i learn, i can share with him to help educate his experience, but also further understand his experience as he embarks in this same learning experience. I struggled to use the app at first, but i think that was more to do with my fear and overwhelm of grasping all of the nitty gritty about my food intake. With some steady confidence I have no idea what i wasn’t understanding! This app is so user friendly, great for beginners and pros alike. Im so glad there is something like this out there for people who are really trying to make a change for the healthier.[shnub]Version: 7.29.1

✓ App works great but not so flash on battery preservationLove this app, it does everything it claims and so much more - connects fitness devices, barcode scanner for global ingredients, imports recipes from websites, and most importantly, tracks your eating. My only problem, and the sole reason my review isn’t a 5/5, is that the app drains my phone battery.Sy Mo ChewVersion: 20.13.0

✓ Works wonders when used correctly!I’ve been a MyFitnessPal user for 6 years now. I want to start by saying when I first started using it, I was using this app religiously. I managed to lose 15 pounds in 3 months. However, I was losing weight for all the wrong reasons and found myself tracking my diet and making sure I was only eating 1500 calories a day when I should have been getting 2000. As soon as I stopped using it, I kept the same weight until I went to college. Freshman 15 is a real thing and that is exactly what happened. I gained all my weight back but it wasn’t just fat, I was gaining muscle too because I found myself weightlifting regularly. 2 years later, I found myself big with a slightly higher than normal fat percentage. That is when I started using my fitness pal again. Now I use this app correctly, and have been losing a moderate and healthy amount of fat a month, by keeping track of my macronutrients and making sure everything that I eat align with my goals. This app does exactly that. Now I have gotten into a routine of logging my food. It used to be a chore, but now it’s a habit and it’s a habit I’m happy to have!.Omare123Version: 19.7.1

✓ Recipe Sharing & Net Carbs?I've come back to MFP after a few years and am very pleased at the many improvements in capabilities, user friendliness, standalone mobile usability, social features, and the UI in general. There are 2 glaringly obvious QoL things that are missing. The first is Recipe Sharing. As it is now, the only way my Hubs and I have found to share entries between people is to copy an Entire meal from someone's diary. It would be much simpler to be able to share the recipe with him on the front end so he could use it as he chooses. It would be even More helpful if we were given a little space to jot down actual directions so these "recipes" weren't solely lists of ingredients and I could recreate things. That may be asking too much though. The other, much more important issue is that there isn't a setting to switch from displaying Total Carbs to Net Carbs (total Carbs-Fiber). There isn't even a way to show macros and Fiber at the same time to do the math yourself. The custom settings only allow for 3 nutrient selections (you'd need 4 to show Carbs, Fiber, Fat, Protein). This is something that needs to be updated ASAP. Oh, and fyi if you're using a macro based method know that you'll need premium to get access to those tracking features..Pennyb324Version: 7.23

✓ Great!Great app for tracking daily your weight, exercise, food and calories and setting goals for weight loss and fitness. Really easy to use, love the food label scanning function, and helps to keep you on track. It’s good to see the ratio of exercise to calories and how, if you’re not doing too good on the calories, going for a run or doing a quick exercise class can pull it back. Lot of tips and info in the blog too. Only down side is often a lot of the nutritional info is missing from the foods you scan so it’s not really reliable to track nutrients such as potassium, vitamins and iron. I try to make sure the main nutritional items such as calories, carbs, sugar and fat are correct and it is possible to report missing information and edit the details if the info is available on the food label which is good. All in all it’s a fab little app. Only been using it 5 days and I’ve lost 2lbs already (sadly not just down to the app, you need a bit of willpower too 😊💪🏻).GellyGetsFitVersion: 19.5.5

✓ Brilliant tool for those needing to lose a lot of weightI had over 150lbs to lose, thought I’d sign up for WW online, I ended up cancelling after my free trial. Downloaded MyFitnessPal instead, there’s a world of difference between the two, this app taught me that I shouldn’t just be counting calories (or points) but how to look at the nutritional value of each meal I ate. It tracks exercise and everything down to your water intake. It’s become a daily part of my lifestyle now, instead of it feeling like “just another diet” I’m genuinely enjoying every second of it and even the premium version is a fraction of the price I’ve paid for slimming club memberships in the past. I’ve still got a way to go yet but I know even when I do eventually hit my goal weight it’ll still be the app I use daily..DanibeexxxVersion: 21.13.0

✓ On track thanks to this appInstead of thinking about food, what I can and can’t eat, I complete my daily info. All the information one can access is amazing. It is easy to navigate and it is fun exploring what it has to offer. Once I did my first week weigh in, I went straight to this to record my loss. Love it And my friend and I encourage each other through the link. I can see what she has been eating ha ha and just how active she has been. Sadly she has the same access to my data 🤪🤪.Chich1157Version: 19.12.6

✓ Great app to help you with your goalsEasy to use with a large library of foods to log. I especially like the function that allows you to set your macros to reach your goals. The app guides you with how many calories are ideal for the desired weight in the time frame. Each day as you "file" your diary, it gives an indication of what your weight would be like in 5 weeks which helps me stay on track, but also not to overthink the days where I go over. It is so rewarding to see yourself reach those goals and to be able to log and track them on the app!.Swishy92Version: 22.22.0

✓ Good app and even better supportSo I’ve been using this app on and off for a while and went premium over a year ago. Today I noticed my premium had disappeared so I went through the maze to get to the point I could leave a contact record. A couple of emails later and it’s all sorted. Glitches happen. Resolution this fast? That’s great customer service. Thank you Rose!.Tracy, NZVersion: 21.21.0

✓ Terrible updateThe update has ruined this app for me. When the update happened 3 days ago it created hundreds of reminders I can’t get rid of. I was so confused as to why I was get around 50 notifications for each meal, I went into the reminders part of the app and founds dozens of reminders had been set. I went through and turned them all off, went out of it and when I went back into it they had all been turned back on. So I had to go through each reminder one at a time and delete each one individually. Then a couple of hours later I get 50 notifications to log my lunch!!! I go back into the reminders and each one I painstakingly deleted had reappeared!!! I’ve missed text messages and emails because this is clog up my phone notifications and making my phone over whelmed and slow! If I can’t fix it I will have to delete the app.LostfaithinhumanityVersion: 19.6.0

✓ Great!So I started using this app about 2 months ago so I know the app quite well by now. I originally started using this app to lose weight. I had been on the IF (intermittent fasting) diet for about a week but I didn’t really understand that just because you don’t eat for 16 hours doesn’t mean you can eat literally a full fridge of food in the other 8 hours. But since using this app I have adjusted and started realising how much food I was eating and created a healthier relationship with food. I - previously to using this app- had used LifeSum however that never really worked for me. I didn’t lose any weight and I didn’t feel better or healthier. Eventually I stopped using the app and went back to old cycles of over-eating and feeling bad about it. I have found this app is easy to use, easy to keep up with and works particularly when paired with regular exercise. Would definitely recommend. 🥰👌🏻.News DailyVersion: 18.12.0

✓ The best App!!I have used Weight Watcher app few years ago and it didn’t had as much as this app did ( food calories and excercise database)! It is good, convenient and I like how I can learn about my food habits and daily nutrition from this app!!.Sas445Version: 7.27

✓ Great app but could use more user control of selecting or defining serving sizesI really like this app. I use it for calorie counting. It links to Garmin Connect for integrating exercise calories into the overall balance for the day. You can scan barcodes for food items for easier logging. You can select items from your history of previous entries (great for frequently eaten foods). You can text search for foods, which accesses an enormous list of prior entries that I assume have been entered or scanned by other users. So why only four stars? My only peeve with the program is that it doesn’t seem to let users edit the serving size for many items, beyond being able to select from a too often extremely limited and sometimes arbitrary mix of imperial/metric/liquid/solid measures. The options presented vary widely from item to item, with little apparent logic. The best solution I have is to try to find items that use 1g as a serving size and then list the number of grams for that day’s serving as the number of servings for that entry. Since I’m using a food scale, that works for me. Seems a better solution would be to allow users to edit any food item to select from a full complement of serving sizes (or to just directly enter the desired serving size using the keyboard). Or just provide 1g as a choice in all cases (or at least all solid cases). In any case, I love and recommend the app, with the measurement detail being my only pet peeve..Georg-oVersion: 22.8.0

✓ It made me realizeMy New Years resolution was to get to a certain weight that would call for me to lose about 15 pounds. I already ate rather healthy during my meals, but I had a problem with snacking. I wasn’t at the point of sitting down and eating an entire family bag of chips in one setting. I would however eat a handful here and there, eat 4 Girl Scout cookies twice a day, and some of the candy my grandma loves to send me every and I mean every holiday. I couldn’t see how much that snacking affected me. My fitness pal has helped me keep track of my calories as I take them in and it has worked wonders! I have been successfully losing weight and it’s all because I can actually see a number to know how many calories I have left in my day when I go to grab the snack. Now don’t get me wrong I still snack some, but I’ll do one snack a day now or half of the amount of chips and half of the cookies instead of a large amount. Another thing that this app has helped me with is realizing how I feel after I eat. For example if I am not eating healthier foods I usually feel exhausted the next day. I didn’t realize it before but now that I have a food diary to look back on I can see what I ate compared to how I feel..KlynnshiraVersion: 7.33

✓ A great app but....I just downloaded this after seeing that it was recommended on a fitness/food website. While there are ads that encourage you to go premium, there is not any information that actually states what it will cost per month, even after scrolling through the terms and conditions (I mean honestly, who ever does this?!?) While it is easy to sign up for the Premium free trial and cancel this before payment begins, there really needs to be more upfront info so that consumers can make an informed decision straight away..MamaKyleeVersion: 7.32
