First I want to start by saying I have had great success with this app. I lost 50 pounds in three months. Having said that, there are some things that could make food logging so much easier. 1. Add a feature that would allow you to add meals and recipes that you could choose in the future. 2. Make time an individual feature. In other words, a meal time would be a single change instead of changing times on every food item. 3. Add a meal plan feature that would allow the user to plan ahead.

I have been using the food tracking app for about two weeks and find that it has a lot to be desired. When it brings you up a list of foods that you’ve logged in the past, the list is only the previous couple of meals versus a full 24 or 48 hours worth of meals EG the breakfast I ate yesterday doesn’t come up but the dinner I ate last night does.it also doesn’t track any nutrients (at least in the diabetes mode) other than sodium and potassium. would like to see it track water as well as fiber, iron, magnesium, and major vitamins. On the plus side, it does have most packaged foods, including some of the more obscure ones that would be sold at a high-end store like Whole Foods.

Went to look at my progress for the last 6 months but it only showed last 12 weeks. Weight loss journeys take much longer than that. Was very disappointed.

I want to export BP data to  Health, and I’d like to look at trends over several periods (month, quarter, year). Are there plans to offer this functionality?

I appreciate the “one stop shop” for all your health related info, you have to use their bp cuff and their blood monitoring kit, and cannot use the week recognized brands I have been using previously so the history of this info is essentially lost unless I open a different app, as well as the supplies for these is now wasted. Their blood glucose monitor does not allow input of a more restricted range as my physician wants, and the choice of how you’re feeling is limited to a few since some will never apply to me. It would be nice to be able to manually log this sometimes if the selection doesn’t apply. Also as this is offered as part of my health insurance program at work, I do not like the emails sent to my work email as they are health related (now part of Teledoc so now I am receiving those at work). You need to offer another email to send to when the person sets up the app.

There should be an option to copy previously entered items. I should not have to search for them repeatedly.

I have been consistently tracking my weight since November 2023. I tried logging my weight recently but when I went to check my progress, the app had signed me out randomly. I tried signing back in and it wouldn’t let me so I thought my password expired. I tried updating my password and logging back in and it still won’t let me. It’s been 2 weeks with the same problem. I have been doing good losing weight and tracking my weight via this app has been the one thing keeping me accountable. I am going to be so upset if I lose all of my data 😭

To begin with, my goal is to lower my weight, cholesterol, and A1c. I downloaded this app because it’s part of my benefits package with my employer. The only thing I can do with it is track my weight, something I can do myself, and use it for coaching, which I could use a regular website for. There are several large features missing for the dietary tracking that will keep me from using this app. What needs to be added is barcode scanning and recipe building. I have used several others in the past to track some of my nutrition that allow me to scan the package of cheese and all of the serving size and nutrition information automatically pops up. On rare occasion, I added one to the database, allowing any other user who scanned that same product to be able to use the same information. Please add this function. I also do a lot of home cooking. Other apps let me build my recipe, for example, if I decided to make Teala with fat free half-and-half, and reduced sodium tomato sauce, add the nutrition information for each ingredient, set up the serving size, and make it quick and easy anytime I cook that meal. This is a feature that has to be added to even work. Otherwise, every time I cook the same meal, I have to add in 20 ingredients and the nutrition information for each and break down what the specific serving size is for each ingredient which means I have to pull out the calculator and I would rather just use something else. I want this app to work. What I need to track most other apps do not give you unless you sign up for the paid subscription and as this is part of my benefits package these areas specifically, I would love to use it, but as it stands, I would rather just use something else.

Trying to find out how long the benefit verification would take and I get I do not know and I would have to wait up to 10 business days and even longer so again what a complete joke

The app does not export weight and blood pressure data to Apple health. It will import step data from Apple, but it’s exports are limited. The connected scale only tracks weight unlike others. Overall the equipment and app are below average.
