Diet Doctor

This is a good app and the meal quality/ideas are good. There are some things I think it could do with. Such as showing a breakdown of the nutritional value in each product in the meal (approximately) / being able to edit the meal should you want to. ie plain protein being used, how many more carbs would it be for a flavoured protein I already have. You cant adjust the recipes to what you have available. Be good to be able to make up some meals yourself and enter the info in etc.

Stupidly I signed up for a year not realising how restrictive the app is - and the “join the community”, when I asked for technical help the reply email said it is non-existent due to lack of support so really a con. That needs to be taken out of the advertising as it’s a fraudulent claim I was taken in by. The good point is the fab recipes (hence the one star) however you are restricted to auto generated “meal plans” and it’s a huge faff to pre-plan a week’s menus using your own choice of dishes. Adding individual foods or your own recipes is impossible, I requested support to see if I could do it and the email I received back totally ignored that question. My gut feeling is this is just an AI managed app - and charging expensively for the privilege! It’s easy to log and track health parameters. (hence the second star) Overall I’m hugely disappointed, it’s just a recipe database with little functionality as as a food diary. I am going to request a refund … let’s see how honourable they are.

You can set food preferences in your profile. But when you search recipes, it completely ignores them. And you can only filter to INCLUDE food types, not to exclude them. So there’s no way to search for recipes that don’t have dairy in them. Time consuming opening them all up to find out they’re based on mascarpone or heavy whipping cream or something hard to emulate without dairy and on a Keto diet. Waste of time and money.

I have been trying to contact customer services since 25th August and I am being ignored. Avoid. If you have a problem, don’t expect anyone to assist. Sheer arrogance.

I’m alcohol free. I don’t ever want to see your tips on low carb alcoholic drinks at the very least. You could offer tips on low carb NA drinks instead. In the good preference section you ask my likes and dislikes in some detail but don’t ask the question about alcohol. This is odd, particularly for somebody interested in improving their health and well being. Other than that, this programme is great.

I don’t have the luxury of being able to sit at a laptop and access the Diet Doctor website, so using an iPad this app is my only route in. All of the good supplemental stuff that you get through the DD website is missing. I can’t do a quick search on something inspirational for an evening meal and I seem to be stuck in an interminable loop of the same seven choices with access to absolutely no other information. I am sure there’s more stuff there but my goodness it’s REALLY well hidden. The final straw is that even if I try to access the website on my iPad it jumps me straight back into the app. This app represents really poor value for the Diet Doctor membership. I am frustrated to the point of ditching my membership and just accessing the website as a guest.

I like looking at these recipes and articles and having some ideas about the food to eat and what I can make. I’ve tried many of the dishes. But I’ve found that I always have to tweak the recipes otherwise they taste quite bland and no flavour.

Some good recipes. Frustrating that I can’t contact anyone to fix a problem where, having set my preference as vegetarian, it keeps recommending meat dishes!

Great recipes. Simple and quick. Not to complicated and normal food. I only had to add a few extras to my normal shopping Best food ever and my husband loves it too Have lost nearly 3kg in 2.5 weeks 😁

Great app and meal plans but having issues as the app is continually crashing on me.
