I’ve counted my macros many times before but the visuals and colors help me view hitting macros in a much lighter more enjoyable way. I LOVE the way the app converts grams, oz, lbs, etc. I also love how you can add your own recipe and it breaks down the steps so it’s so easy. The use of AI for food entry is an awesome touch and I utilize this frequently. This app is the most user friendly calorie counter app I have used.
TLDR; it’s a good app with helpful information and a better way of tracking calories. However, some parts of it can be a little unhealthy, such as daily weigh-ins, and how it generally encourages staying UNDER your deficit no matter how far under that may be. —————— I’ve been using Foodvisor for about a year now, maybe a little more. The classes were great and helped me learn a lot, but after I think it was a month or two — they just became check ins and I stopped learning. They were no longer giving me new and helpful information, particularly not anything that adapted to how my body was changing, so I’ve cancelled my subscription. This was fine, not a huge deal. I decided to just use the daily journal and that works great for keeping track of my calories and my macros. I love that we’re made aware of our macros and what we actually need, rather than looking at our calories as one number. An issue I have with the diary though, is that it seems to not treat under-eating as a problem. I have a habit of staying too far under my deficit (1500 cals ideally, but some days I eat under 1200) and there isn’t really any push to meet my calorie count as long as I stay under it. Another thing I’m not too fond of is the recommendation to weigh yourself daily. I understand the reasoning behind it, but I just don’t think it’s necessary even to track and predict normal weight fluctuations. Once a week weigh-ins are just healthier, in my opinion, and safer for those who struggle with insecurity and/or mental health. —————— I have yet to lose any weight long term (currently 5’4 160lbs — goal is 120lbs), but I don’t fault the app for that. I’ve been doing well keeping up with my calorie goal, been getting more nutrients, and have been exercising, but I struggle with poor mental health, restless sleep, and have a family history of metabolic issues, as well as mildly disordered eating habits. If it weren’t for these extra factors, I’m pretty positive my weight would be steadily going down.
Has helped me to see how many calories things actually are. It adds up. Helped me to be more aware of calories and what foods are more filling. A little too interactive for me with the beans and all the clicks necessary to enter and log but overall it’s a great tool.
Read Before Downloading! Don’t get scammed!! RESPONSE: you want more specific details?! Are you kidding me! You have entire email chains with ALL of the details, weeks of run around, and from AI bots to human advisor after advisor saying there’s nothing you can do. All in UNDER 14 days of paying for a year of the app! If you want to solve it, start there. And as to suggestion that’s “it’s my feelings” that the process is difficult, then I suggest anyone look up the access to cancel PRIOR to purchase. Turns those “feelings” into facts real quick. … Foodvisor advertises a free 14 day “trial” depending on where you find their promotion. What they don’t tell you upfront: you are charged $90 for the full year the moment you sign up, before your “trial” even begins. Canceling is deliberately buried in the app, making it nearly impossible to find and you can’t “cancel” you have to email, request to cancel, wait and then be directed to Apple, because you bought it in the App Store. And because the purchase is processed through the App Store, Apple is not obligated to issue refunds… so that $90 is gone, no matter what Foodvisor advertises. There is no “free trial.” There is a paid subscription. Period. I paid the $83 app, and a $30 add on, and while the add-on refund denial makes sense, I only had it for about a week before requesting to cancel. Not an option. On top of that, every feature this app offers can be replicated for free with any FREE AI assistant. There is nothing here worth $90+, and certainly nothing worth the deceptive experience. Save your money.
I love this app! I hav tried other apps and they were boring. My brain is definitely keyed into the food choices and my rating on meals. It’s fun and encouraging! Would totally recommend.
Overall great app to use to track your meals. Is there a plan to update the exercise duration? It just lists one time and is very confusing to use.
I’ve paid for the subscription to this app two years in a row now and it really has been a great investment helping track my food. My calories. This thing is really easy to save and make recipes and you can save the food that you eat most often I’ve tried probably nine other apps that cost significantly more that don’t have as many great functions as this does.
I absolutely love everything about this app. Down 18 lbs due to tracking with this app😮💨
I do like this app, having the little avatar to grow is just enough motivation to keep me coming back. I would like the option to change its name but if that is a possibility I haven’t found out how. However the reason I was drawn to the app in the first place was the option to take a photo, rather than try to input individual ingredients because I do eat out a few times a week. That feature is just ok at this point. If you take a photo of a meal it really only gives you a guess at what you’re eating. So the nutrition on that feature can’t really be trusted but its better than nothing I guess. I also like the daily classes, I find them interesting and have caused me to really think about the nutritional value of what I’m eating rather than just the calories. The thing I find most confusing about the app is the meal insights and the daily assessments. Every day the app was recommending I eat tofu, so I finally caved and had tofu with avocado on sprouted bread with a cup of coffee for breakfast and the meal insight said that the tofu was the best thing about that meal. That day I ate raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, a protein shake and after one of the daily classes recommended it, I had mixed nuts as a “healthy”snack. I then got the orange face telling me the nuts were not a good choice - even though I ate them because the daily class told me to??? When I did the daily assessment it said I should eat more calories for my snack, even though the nuts were the right amount of calories designated for my snack. I was confused and still had more protein to eat, so I added a serving of edamame to my dinner as a side. When I redid the assessment now it said those were a good choice for a snack, even though I had added them as part of a meal. I scrolled down to see what the best and worst foods were and again the nuts were listed as the worst food I had all day, but the best…the coffee??? After eating the tofu, the avocado, the edamame, the high fiber sprouted bread, the organic fruit, how was the coffee the best thing I ate all day? On the daily assessment they don’t give a reason behind that decision like they do for the meal insights and it would be useful if they did. I find assessments like that to be helpful, but this is just really confusing. I’ve now realized that no matter what I eat, coffee is always listed as the best thing I ate and I have no clue why
I can’t rave about this enough. I can scan, snap or add any meal easily and I’m so happy with the results. Syncs with my Apple Watch, too!
