- Soften the redesign backlash: 55 complaining reviews, avg severity 2.3/3. What to do: Explain the change in-app, restore the most-missed option, or offer a setting for the old behaviour.
“I hate the new user interface where it only shows 3 macros at the top where we use to be able to scroll and see all numbers as well as a detailed calendar of each. I will be looking for a new app once my subscription is over. Glad I didn’t waste my money on a…” (1★, v18.1.700, CA) - Justify or adjust the price: 55 complaining reviews, avg severity 2.2/3. What to do: Test a cheaper tier, annual discount or one-time purchase; show what paid users get.

Thats almost 4 times the price it initially was with no new noticeable differences i…” (1★, v18.2.200, CA) - Ease paywall pressure: 45 complaining reviews, avg severity 2.3/3. What to do: Keep core features usable for free users or explain clearly what is paid; show the paywall less often.

What to do: Read the quotes below for the exact request; consider a public roadmap.

Switching between periods of gaining weight to losing weight is very common and everything else in your app…” (1★, v18.3.401, CA) - Improve content quality: 24 complaining reviews, avg severity 2.0/3. What to do: Review the content areas users name; add a "report a problem" button on content.
“If you look closely at the totals on the daily journal, the values are miscalculated. Some days the protein will be undercounted. Today, fibre is over counted by 10. This is simple math. How could that go wrong? What else could be wrong?” (2★, v18.5.600, CA) - Simplify navigation: 23 complaining reviews, avg severity 2.1/3. What to do: Run a quick usability test on the screens users mention; remove extra taps and pop-ups.
“There have been a number of changes recently that I think have made it more difficult to use. The ‘done logging’ button is no longer at the very bottom but lost half way down the page, you have to scroll up and down to find it. Now you have made the food list…” (3★, v18.1.700, GB)

How to read this
Apple's public feed only shows recent reviews, so this is a snapshot of the last weeks or months, not the app's full history. Popular apps attract complaints in proportion to their size; the useful part is which issues repeat. Generated 22 October 2026. We have no relationship with FitNow.
