Glad I switched
Dec 20, 2017 I used MyFitnessPal for like 5 years religiously and I don’t really have any complaints about it. I switched to FitGenie (continuing to update both) assuming I would hate it and switch back. I stopped updating MyFitnessPal after a month of using FitGenie. It’s easy to use and my favorite feature is setting your goal and getting the weekly update with change suggestions. This is really helpful for me because I don’t have a coach or really know when to do what. So far, the weekly updates have been putting me towards my goals exactly. I also like that they get feedback and constantly make changes and add new features. I’m looking forward to more additions in the future! Thank you!more -
Oct 16, 2020 They NEED TO GET A BETTER DATABASE because there's really A LOT of food missing. Cant even find cream dory which is a very common fish where im from. I bought the app and even got it for a full year but am really dissapointed in the database. Can't believe Eric Helms recommended this.more -
BEST Lose Fat & Gain Muscle APP👊🏻
Nov 18, 2017 This app is def made for the lazy millennial. 🙌🏻 Whether you’re trying to lose fat/gain muscle, prepping for a bodybuilding show or enjoying the doughnut life this app is 100% the BEST tool. I’ve referred it to all my clients! I calculate their macros then let the Premium FitGenie AI readjust! My clients love their results and I looooove how easy it makes it for me to focus on training! I personally struggle with coming up with creative food so the recipe guide has been so useful. The AI on the Premium honestly knows exactly what I like to eat....it’s kind of creepy but I love it! When I’m #hangry it keeps me on top of my goals. Plus the social sharing features are so pretty that I actually get excited to share my macros on social media. 😍more -
Aug 4, 2020 I've been waiting for this app to drop for so long!! I used to have an iPhone but switched to Android and I missed how simple it was to log my food and order healthy, locally sourced meals. Definitely would recommend for anyone if you're looking to count calories, track macronutrients, or get healthy delivery.more -
Awesome
Oct 1, 2017 I prefer FitGenie to myfitnesspal. The in-app dietary recommendations are realistic and are sound with how evidence based science tells us to eat with respect to our goals. That, in addition to the automatic adjustments, make it more effective tool then MFP for me (may not be so for everyone though). It takes the thinking out of it and has given me slow but sustainable progress for the first time in a while. Definitely room for improvement though- one week told me to do 2100 calories of cardio a week. Not gonna happen lol. Would like to have an option on building in cardio to the calorie goals.more

Rechecked and still too many problems
Sep 29, 2018 I got this app when it first came out because i wanted to support the people behind its creation. It just wasn’t where it needed to be so I went back to MyFitnessPal. I decided to come back and see if it had improved. It had but not enough. Within 10min of using the app it froze. Plus I couldn’t find a way to view weekly averages for calories and macros even after searching the FAQ and google, which is something super easy to do with MFP. Lastly many of the big name brands are still not in its database. Also Since it forces you to let it design your calories I chose low-fat. I was shocked it had me on 110g of fat when i chose the low fat option. I want to like this product, but it seems to still be plagued by inadequacies. Sadly I’m going back to MFP.more -
Aug 13, 2020 Went to order meals and it doesn't recognize me address plus it tells me that it's not yet in Baltimore. I wasted money for premium to find out it's not even compatible with my area. I want a refund.more -
Sep 6, 2020 I got this app because it was advertised as a superior tracker to MyFitnessPal. I find it extremely hard to believe that anyone remotely honest could say that about the app in it's current state. This app puts behind a paywall features which MyFitnessPal has for free! While I like Eric Helms being connected to someone who puts out good information is not a excuse for something like that.more -
syncing stinks
Sep 13, 2017 Here is what they told me...FitGenie can only be used on one device at a time to keep your data secure. When switching to a new device, users must log back in to their desired account if they are not prompted to do so. All your data will be pulled in once it has successfully synced on the device you were previously logged in on. To ensure syncing is successful, exit the app on the device where you last logged entries, then reopen the app on that same device. So I have to go in and out... in and out... And it still doesn't work. Day one with the app and I'm not happy.more

Premium does not activate on multiple devices
Nov 2, 2017 I installed the app on my iPad and started a paid premium subscription (since there was the 25% off offer). The premium status doesn’t transfer to my iPhone, so I’m stuck with the non premium version on my iPhone. Contacted support, we’ll see what happens. EDIT: Supported answered in 10 minutes and they were very nice about it. It’s a bit hidden but there is a way to restore purchases, by swiping up after the “try premium” screen.more

Great app but needs some basic features
Jan 31, 2018 Needs meal macros displayed right on home page. Needs automatic portion controlling. The fact that 30g is fixed at 1 serving of 30g doesn’t make sense. Ability to switch between oz, g etc. basic feature in other apps. Love the daily macro progress updates as you add foods - need that same feature as you add foods to an individual meal. Need ability to display Macro progress instead of calories progress by defaultmore -
App Crashes
Nov 30, 2018 App crashes whenever I try to add a food. Other than that, works perfectly fine. But I use this daily so the app crashing is a nuisance.more -
AWESOME!!
Dec 28, 2019 I love this app that’s so usual. I don’t know why but same times when I scan a product the macros don’t make sense with the product. If you guys put a EDIT option gonna be good.more -
Good app needs vegan meal options
Aug 22, 2017 No matter how many times I change my settings meat is always in the equation . Can we please step it up !!!!more -
Great App idea, but there are several bugs
Jan 11, 2017 I've wanted an app like this which assists in counting macro calculation and logging food accurately for a long time. MyFitnessPal lacks functionality, but this app is great with its "scan barcode" feature. I also love that the macro calculations are very accurate during setup based on your goals, weight, and activity factor. I haven't seen the AI adjustment feature yet. However, I have been having several issues with the app: 1. After creating a food through "Quick Add", when I try to log the same created food later, I get stuck at the loading screen and am not able to log the food. 2. Occasionally when adding a food to the log from the search feature, I get stuck at the loading screen as well. Seems that the app gets stuck in several places, even when starting up. I've tried restarting, logging out and get the same bug. 3. Small enhancement recommendation - when creating a food through "Quick Add" or "Scan Barcode", it would be great if that food would show up under all the meal menus (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Snack). This way you won't need to enter the macros again when logging for a different meal. Other than these bugs, I love this app and will continue to use it. Please look into fixing these bugs!more

Oct 16, 2020 They NEED TO GET A BETTER DATABASE because there's really A LOT of food missing. Cant even find cream dory which is a very common fish where im from. I bought the app and even got it for a full year but am really dissapointed in the database. Can't believe Eric Helms recommended this.more -
Sep 15, 2020 The app is difficult to use.. I think Myfitnesspal is much user friendly and easy to customize details. It took time for me to figure out how to use it.more -
Buggy
Apr 27, 2020 My custom goals won’t save & also can’t change portion sizes because the keyboard keeps disappearing.more -

Great App, Bad Update
Dec 7, 2017 DO NOT UPDATE!! Second update also poor. App is much slower. The new format is less intuitive and much less convenient. Where before you could easily glance at the app and see exactly how many cals, fats, proteins and carbs. Now calories is a tiny graphic at the top of the screen and you have to swipe for a tiny graphic for macros. Will probably switch back to another app. Previous version was perfect, this one.... not good at all.more -
Do not like new update
Mar 8, 2020 The reason I liked this app was because as I was entering in a food it showed how that impacted your macros for the entire day so I could make adjustments. I just bought the year subscription and with the update that feature is now gone. I do not like it and wouldn’t have bought it if I’d known I was going to loose the one reason I bought it.more -
Used to be great before update
Dec 31, 2019 This has been a go to app for over a year. Since the recent update, the app no longer recognizes any custom foods that I created previously. I now just get an endless load screen when I select the recent food. Hopefully this get fixed as it is extremely frustrating.more

Most recent update
Aug 28, 2020 Might be the worst bug I’ve seen on this app so far. Days are getting meshed together each time you enter the app and when you input macros it doesn’t register right away. For example, I’ll input a certain food, it won’t register so I’ll exit out of the app, and when I go back in it shifts that food to the prior or future days until I repeat this process 5 times before it returns back to normal. I switched from MFP to Fitgenie basically during its inception and I think the past few months have been the time where I’ve only encountered any problems like this. Still trying to work around it so I can continue to support you guys and not have to input all my foods again but lately it’s been getting harder to not switch back to a more reliable format. Hope you guys can get this problem sorted.more -
This app is terrible on an iPad
Jul 14, 2018 I was excited by all the reviews because I wanted to replace Myfitness Pal. But...opened this on my iPad because I want to make custom meal plans with carb cycling and although the graphics are gorgeous, I can’t use my separate keyboard. The app is only available portrait mode which defeats my goals of doing quick data entry of my personal recipes. I also have a food allergy and the onboarding was a little limited. Haven’t really gotten past that because I’m going to delete the app. Sad, it looked cute.more
What’s Groovy
To customize macros you will have to pay for the premium and it's pretty expensive! 19.99/monthly. I like the dark mode layout, I think the fitnesspal layout is awful but I like it better because alot of the tracking is free and unlocked for users. There's lots of free content you can access on fitnesspal. This app is missing SO many food items and no water tracking. I've been looking for an alternative for fitness pal but this is not it. Theres no widgets you can add to screen.

What’s Subpar
Usless. You need to pay monthly/yearly subscription to unlock macro tracking. Free version has basically no features, DON'T DOWNLOAD!

Always Great
I think I’ve used this app for about four years and I love it. The things I like best are listed below: 1) They will give you macro suggestions based on your goals as well as suggest changes over time, but if you don’t want to follow their plan and instead make your own, you can. 2) The food library is pretty complete. I rarely can’t find a specific item, but if I can’t, it’s so easy to add. 3) I can put it my own homemade meals, and the app will easily find them even months after I last ate them. 4) Customer service has been great. Like I said above, I’ve used this app daily for about 4 years and I think I’ve needed help twice. This last time they emailed me back within an hour or so having already fixed my issue! You should use this app. -
Wonderful
Keeping track of my meals is something I've never really done, I just ate what I liked. But I need to stay away from the junk food etc. I love that I can scan what I'm eating and that I'm learning to balance all my meals. The last couple of weeks I've actually eaten breakfast! Trying to get fit again for a Half-Marathon , best way to do this. And I love all the meal suggestions( minus the broccoli) that I get, easy and yummy. Thank you! -
Best tracker to date.

Best macro tracking app!
Hands down the best app for tracking macros. UX is great, UI is intuitive. Previously there was no option to modify the serving size of foods I add to the database - this was problematic for a number of reasons. The developers were aware and have just added this function to the app! Now I can add a food once and reuse it forever. 🙌 Looking forward to seeing more features in the future!

Used to like it more
Still a good app, but not a fan of some changes. We used to be able to quick add calories and macros for free but now you have to pay. I’ve been waiting & asking about getting weekly average calories for 2 years now. They used to answer emails but not anymore. I’d even pay for this feature. Still hoping to see it. Those complaints aside, the app runs great. -

Occasionally when adding a food to the log from the search feature, I get stuck at the loading screen as well. Seems that the app gets stuck in several places, even when starting up. I've tried restarting, logging out and get the same bug. 3. Small enhancement recommendation - when creating a food through "Quick Add" or "Scan Barcode", it would be great if that food would show up under all the meal menus (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Snack). This way you won't need to enter the macros again when logging for a different meal. Other than these bugs, I love this app and will continue to use it. Please look into fixing these bugs! -
Great app, but needs a few more features
I have been testing this app out for the past few weeks and have enjoyed a lot! I have been a premium user on MyFitnessPal for the past few years and this is the first app which may pull me away from it...if they add a few more features first. The main reason I like MyFitnessPal is the ability to set daily or weekly goals for my macros. When I am cutting fat I get to the point where I plan in a weekly refeed day, or even a diet break. I also enjoy the social aspect when those I have "coached" want to see what my normal day looks like (plus it keeps me accountable to tracking). If they included the daily/weekly goals alone, they will probably win me away from MyFitnessPal. -
Good so far
Initially had issues just trying to sign up without crashing. But now I've been able to search and find foods, manually add foods, scan foods. All have worked without issue. I have logged an entire week so far with all the above options... In future releases/updates a reverse diet option would be nice to see. Granted you can google that and figure it out on your own. I'm sure that's a lot of work, but it would be a nice feature to add along with the fat loss option once you've reached that. -
I gave this app a second try!
I used to use this app during its early development and was disappointed in its logging speed and hard-to-track macros. I put it off for months and look at it now! The app is running very smoothly, logging food quickly, and looking aesthetically pleasing. Each food macros vs calorie seems quite accurate (which is a huge deal here). My only suggestion is to have a summary table/graph of weekly macros. :) Great app! -
Lacks sync to Myfitness pal/Withings/ Apple Health
I just downloaded. I sure wish this app synced with my Apple Health data. My weight already goes there from my Withings scale and this app could easily grab the weight. It could also grab workout info from Fitbit or Strong app. Also wish that it synced with MyFitness Pal as I already have everything set up there. I'll do double logging here and MFP and see how it goes. Hope to see sync ability soon. -
I love this app but it needs a little fixing
Before and after the newest update the Quick Add function hasn't been working. I'll try t manually add something and after clicking "I ate this" it'll stay on the saving/loading screen and then I have to force quit the app :( PLEASE FIX Otherwise I'm a big fan of this app.

They NEED TO GET A BETTER DATABASE because there's really A LOT of food missing. Cant even find cream dory which is a very common fish where im from. I bought the app and even got it for a full year but am really dissapointed in the database. Can't believe Eric Helms recommended this.
-
The app is difficult to use.. I think Myfitnesspal is much user friendly and easy to customize details. It took time for me to figure out how to use it.
-
Buggy
My custom goals won’t save & also can’t change portion sizes because the keyboard keeps disappearing. -
I have to add too many foods
It’s a decent app, it’s just too inconvenient for me as I’m having to add too many foods. -
Useful but some issues
Works -
Nice but need more work
I love how clean and simple that app to use , easy to find food and log it, would love to see macros of each meal and not just the total of the day , would love to see option to sync my workouts from the app strong. Obviously there is a lot of things that need to be done but thats a great start, and I'm sure its just going to get better, and support the people that follow science based nutrition and training -
Potential
Great app. Only three starts because it needs some work. If there was a option for potential review I would give 5 starts. Wish you could track fiber and sugars in addition to he Protein, carbs and fats. Excited to use this app. But will continue to mainly use MFP (even tho I hate it) for more tracking options.

Rechecked and still too many problems
I got this app when it first came out because i wanted to support the people behind its creation. It just wasn’t where it needed to be so I went back to MyFitnessPal. I decided to come back and see if it had improved. It had but not enough. Within 10min of using the app it froze. Plus I couldn’t find a way to view weekly averages for calories and macros even after searching the FAQ and google, which is something super easy to do with MFP. Lastly many of the big name brands are still not in its database. Also Since it forces you to let it design your calories I chose low-fat. I was shocked it had me on 110g of fat when i chose the low fat option. I want to like this product, but it seems to still be plagued by inadequacies. Sadly I’m going back to MFP. -
Less convenient than the calorie tracker that came with my phone.
-
Went to order meals and it doesn't recognize me address plus it tells me that it's not yet in Baltimore. I wasted money for premium to find out it's not even compatible with my area. I want a refund.
-
I got this app because it was advertised as a superior tracker to MyFitnessPal. I find it extremely hard to believe that anyone remotely honest could say that about the app in it's current state. This app puts behind a paywall features which MyFitnessPal has for free! While I like Eric Helms being connected to someone who puts out good information is not a excuse for something like that.

syncing stinks
Here is what they told me...FitGenie can only be used on one device at a time to keep your data secure. When switching to a new device, users must log back in to their desired account if they are not prompted to do so. All your data will be pulled in once it has successfully synced on the device you were previously logged in on. To ensure syncing is successful, exit the app on the device where you last logged entries, then reopen the app on that same device. So I have to go in and out... in and out... And it still doesn't work. Day one with the app and I'm not happy. -
Most recent update
Might be the worst bug I’ve seen on this app so far. Days are getting meshed together each time you enter the app and when you input macros it doesn’t register right away. For example, I’ll input a certain food, it won’t register so I’ll exit out of the app, and when I go back in it shifts that food to the prior or future days until I repeat this process 5 times before it returns back to normal. I switched from MFP to Fitgenie basically during its inception and I think the past few months have been the time where I’ve only encountered any problems like this. Still trying to work around it so I can continue to support you guys and not have to input all my foods again but lately it’s been getting harder to not switch back to a more reliable format. Hope you guys can get this problem sorted. -
This app is terrible on an iPad
I was excited by all the reviews because I wanted to replace Myfitness Pal. But...opened this on my iPad because I want to make custom meal plans with carb cycling and although the graphics are gorgeous, I can’t use my separate keyboard. The app is only available portrait mode which defeats my goals of doing quick data entry of my personal recipes. I also have a food allergy and the onboarding was a little limited. Haven’t really gotten past that because I’m going to delete the app. Sad, it looked cute. -
Great App, Bad Update
DO NOT UPDATE!! Second update also poor. App is much slower. The new format is less intuitive and much less convenient. Where before you could easily glance at the app and see exactly how many cals, fats, proteins and carbs. Now calories is a tiny graphic at the top of the screen and you have to swipe for a tiny graphic for macros. Will probably switch back to another app. Previous version was perfect, this one.... not good at all. -
Do not like new update
The reason I liked this app was because as I was entering in a food it showed how that impacted your macros for the entire day so I could make adjustments. I just bought the year subscription and with the update that feature is now gone. I do not like it and wouldn’t have bought it if I’d known I was going to loose the one reason I bought it. -
Used to be great before update
This has been a go to app for over a year. Since the recent update, the app no longer recognizes any custom foods that I created previously. I now just get an endless load screen when I select the recent food. Hopefully this get fixed as it is extremely frustrating.

Logging issue
Just had trouble logging meals, I would search food and then click on food and screen froze. Had to close app and re open a few times -
Improvements
The app should allow users to look at their cart without having a $50 minimum -
Updates PROGRESSIVELY WORSE
I have been a supporter of this app from day 1. I’ve recommended FitGenie to so many friends and family. The app has become progressively worse from the last major update to its minor updates in between. There is an area on the home screen of the app that allows you to input 3 ‘nutrient goals’ to track on the home screen, when I go and put in Protein, Carbs and Fats to track and press save, the app either freezes or saves the wrong nutrient goals. i.e. Instead of saving ‘Fats’ it will save ‘Sugar’ instead. It’s been super buggy since the updates. Another issue I have and this is probably the worst. The app is so inaccurate when scanning foods or searching for them on the search bar. I spend most of my time manually inputting the nutritional content because the app has it wrong at least 60% of the time. I saw that they partnered with another company’s database, but I’m not sure if you guys use this yourself... but your yearly subscription customers should not have to manually input their food. We pay you for efficiency and accuracy. One day I checked the accuracy and I could have eaten more than 500 extra calories because the app had the info wrong. Another issue with efficiency is the older versions of the app had an area where you could see how many macros you had ‘left’ in the day so you didn’t have to do the math yourself. Clearly it’s simple arithmetic, but again... if I’m paying you a yearly subscription why would you want to make your app less efficient for your customers? That’s definitely REGRESSION. Let’s keep it simple. I’ve been a huge supporter of this app from the beginning, because I’m a huge supporter of Eric Helms’ work. They use his algorithm to calculate the nutritional needs of their customers. When I first encountered an issue I emailed FitGenie to get help, and one of the founders responded to me with great customer service etiquette. Very friendly, helpful and kind guy. But their customer service has seemed to have also regressed lately as well. I’ve tried to reach out several times via social media with no response. I’m seriously considering parting ways at the end of my yearly subscription if these issues aren’t resolved. I’m just not satisfied with what the app has been producing and hope they will be addressed swiftly. At this time, I can no longer recommend anyone to get this app in the state it’s in. Until the inaccuracies and bugs are fixed... it’s not worth wasting your time until things are improved. -

Can’t sign in.
App was working fine till this morning. Tried to change my macros and it said couldn’t save because of profile problem. Signed out to see if that would and now it tells me problem logging in. I’ve already emailed support. -
Won’t sign in
Ever since your newest update now it won’t let me sign in. Keeps saying there was a problem. Please fix it because otherwise it was my favorite tracking app. -

Heartster!
NOT FREE! This app wants to charge you $45 to give you a menu. There are plenty of free recipes on and menus on google. -
Used for almost two years, switching back to MFP
Edit 8/28/19 The grocery list still has not worked since my last updated review. I paid for another year in January since I still had been using the app and had been enjoying its other features. For the last month or so I have not been able to import recipes. I’ve tried different recipes from different websites and always get the same error message. “Error. Unable to import recipe. Try adding manually” which takes forever. The meal planner recipes seem to be the same 15 meals just switched around over and over. Sometimes i even get ridiculous suggestions. Breakfast: smoothie. Lunch: chicken fried rice. Dinner: shrimp fried rice. *eye roll* Snack: 3 cups of green beans. *bigger eye roll* Decided to switch back to the free version of MFP. It’s easy to import recipes and the free version has everything I need. No meal planner but it’s lot like FitGenie has a good one either. Also, last update for FitGenie was 8 months ago. I don’t see changes/updates coming anytime soon. Edit 5/18/18 Still using the app although I’m starting to think I may switch to another :( the grocery list has not been working for about a month or so. A couple suggestions I would love to have and think others would enjoy as well: a water tracker and body measurements tracker! These two additions would make this a solid app. Edit 3/5/18 I love that the developers really take the advice left by the reviewers. The grocery list is fixed and it’s much better! Adding a star for awesome developers. I’ve been using the app consistently (I haven’t used MFP since I switched) and I’m really enjoying the recipe suggestions. Another thing I would love to see changed: when I change my caloric intake, the app goes back and changes it for past days. Example: I decreased my calories today (3/5) and it decreased my calories all the way back to 2/22! So now it looks as though I was “over” my calories those days instead of on track. Hoping this will be fixed with another update :) Started using this today and so far it seems alright. I did pay for premium to try out the meal plan features. The recipes seem decent. I like that I can add additional meals to the standard “breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks.” Although I can’t add the meal plans to the additional meals. Also, I can’t figure out the grocery list. I can’t delete anything off of it. I went through different meals to find something I liked and it added all those ingredients to my shopping list and I can’t make them go away 🙄 hoping there’s a way around this otherwise I feel like I wasted my money in some aspects.

Horrible syncing with health devices
I like everything about this app except for its inability to sync with health apps. There’s no way to keep track of progress when it’s not connecting to my Apple Health and calculating burned calories. -
Fine for weight loss but not weight gain
Don't use this app for gaining weight. Even though I set my fitness goal to weight gain and have been reporting a stagnant or downward weight trend, the app continues to reduce carbs, fats, and calories every week. I eat more than 100% of the goal given and the app reminds me to stick to the goals when it's time to re-evaluate progress. If you want to lose weight, this app is great, but it's not for all users.
