Intermittent Fasting 16:8 App

Downloaded a couple of days ago. App has no food recipe's or meal planning. 👎🏼

The app has glitches that cause it not to be able to track measurements consistently without having something that prevents me from continuous tracking over and over.

Read the terms, the 100% Guarantee means nothing. Non-refundable

This is amazing you have everything you need on this one convenient app! Just found it and signed up! Thank you

This app will not work for my needs. I’m trying to get in touch with someone for a refund. This is not what I was expecting. I was wanting to log my food and get my daily carnivore macros. Can someone please give a refund or get touch. Thank you.

Makes you pay to record your meals. Without this feature, it is basically just a fasting app. If you are going to advertise yourself as a “carnivore diet and fasting” app, then one of the free features should be dirty tracking. I don’t want a meal plan, I simply want to input what I am consuming. Make the “designed for you” meal plan part of the premium membership or change your name.

Read all the bad reviews and restrictions. They are all true.

So, this is what I spent $30 on. Laundry List 1. Once set up, you CANNOT change your options even though almost no information is given to the user. For example, I chose “wolf” because I was trying to learn past the description of… instead I’m in the “wolf” category and have tried very hard to find a way to alter my choice to no avail 2. Glitchy as all get out. It freezes when you attempt do many functions. 3. The “community” is like 300 people world wide. With very little interaction. 4. The “menu” has no info, no macros, no…anything, and it’s like the three same options every day…so great…yeah…no… 5. Clunky. I’m a pretty adept user of apps and my phone. For the life of me, I can’t get the app to work half the time and usually have to close it to access anything at all. Plus, it doesn’t populate my fitness scale like Lose It automatically does. No info, just very thin and blocky 6. The “learn” portion is a half dozen articles siting like one guy from a book, ignoring huge swaths of info that would be helpful. Also, these articles are not updated, so once you’ve “learned” that app button is completely worthless. I feel like I was baited and switched.

There are too many typos and confusing write-ups in the "learn" section of this app. to trust how accurate the facts are. For arguments sake, let's say the diet facts are 100% accurate... I have a lot of background in various eating plans, but still have to work hard to fill in the blanks or reword sentences in my head so they make sense. All I want is to brush up on the basics... Imagine someone trying to figure that out for the first time. Couple of samples... First example: "At any point in time, even in a lean, average-sized, lean individual, a person will have only approximately 2000 calories worth of stored carbohydrates in the body verses approximately 40,000 calories even." Even if this made sense, it could read: "At any point in time, a lean average-sized individual only stores around 2,000 calories accessible as carbohydrates." (I don't even know what the 40,000 means to edit it.) Second example: "And, to further support the fact that your brain will function better when it's running on fast [yes - it says "fast" - which is confusing when also discussing intermittent fasting] as opposed to carbohydrates, you can trace back the origins of the ketogenic diet and you can see how John Hopkins Hospital started using the site in the mid 1920's to treat medication resistant epilepsy patients." What? I'm sorry to whomever wrote this, but it's just bad writing. Also, John Hopkins started using what site in the 1920's? Can't be a website and unless this can be cited and relevant... don't include it. I hadn't even made it to the functions of the app before I cancelled the subscription. If a non-newbie can't make sense of the written basics how does one trust the rest of the functions?

I did not realize it would not allow me to enter my exact meal when I signed up for the plan. For example, I signed up after having my first meal of the day which was 1/2 pound chick beef, 3 tablespoons butter, and 2 over medium eggs. Rather than allowing me enter a customized meal, I have to choose a meal from the apps list, so I chose the beef and butter which is less grams than I actually ate. Also, the navigation button is too close to the check button. I accidentally hit the check button while navigating through the meal options and am unable to uncheck it. Very disappointed in this program. I have been using My Fitness but wanted to try an app that was designed more specifically for carnivores. It is unreasonable that this app is lacking a customizable meal feature.
