I like the app alot i feel like its helping me be more mindful of what I eat. The only thing that kinda bugs me is the AI seems to wayyy over estimate calories. I logged a small bag of popcorn which is 140 for one bag . The AI told me it was 775 calories for some reason. I know it's not gonna be 100% accurate all the time but its happened with a number of different foods. I also think it would be nice if you could type in calories rather than scroll through them all. It would also be good if the app could be more accurate about specific brands of snacks and drinks. 1 Cup of skinny pop has less calories than 1 cup of most other popcorns but the app doesn't seem to know brands at all. Last note is that I think the calorie counter should be included in the free version, otherwise theres not a whole lot of tracking you can do without paying. UPDATE: actually had to stop using the app. I didn't realize that changing calorie values was only a paid option (i had the free trial). Thats a bit ridiculous considering how inaccurate the calorie estimations are. Bummer because i really liked the app and the little raccoon but the one thing I can't accurately track my calories w/o paying now. Switching to a different app. I would definitely go back if this was changed.

hi, I really like your app so far and like many others it helps me to remember to eat on time and has encouraged me to make healthier choices. One of the biggest things that keeps me eating on time honestly is feeling guilty about Bobo (my racoon) not getting to eat and losing health points. but when it comes to healthy eating, I still feel like I’m lacking some motivation simply from just reading the ratings from each day. it would be cool if there were like a feature where Bobo would get “sick” i.e. also lose health points from me not eating healthily, I think that this option should be able to be toggled on and off that way people who are hoping to use the app to eat healthily can incentivize their eating choices more, while people who simply just want to get themselves at the very least eating again they can leave it toggled off for a more relaxed feel. or maybe just have an option as some other reviews suggested to be able to buy clothes, but the coins could be earned from consistent healthy eating (high scores) rather than mini games which i feel might distract from the purpose of the app and rather serve as a loophole to getting things (people might sit and play the games for bobo’s accessories rather than putting effort into improving their eating habits, people being me lol and probably other busy college students like me where a game is lower effort than cooking a healthy meal)

I love this app so far and I love the new update! Still would like it if when I log my protein shakes it would add my protein intake and not just a “low score” and if there was a way to update the protein and other macros if I know they’re off like you can with the calories. For the most part I trust the calories and macro AI because I’m not gonna look into it too hard, but with my high exercise regimen I try to chose high protein brands and foods and I want that to count! So I want to be able to adjust when I KNOW it’s off 😅 and I know that my protein bars and shakes are an extra 22-30g and I don’t see that reflected anywhere. It just gives me a 40 score and says to drink water. Which is great but come on… why is a protein shake pretty close to a beer score wise? It shouldn’t be about the score but it kinda is lol. Love the app, love the idea! But still need more updates. Updated: LOVE that my protein shakes are now starting to BE protein and counted for the day! I’m here for the progress of this app! LOVING IT!
