MyBody: Health & Weight Loss

A lot to like : I’ve been in the game for a little over a week, still learning as I go and preparing meals for two.I’m not usually the household cook so getting menus and organized shopping together is a challenge for me, finding my way a day at a time. I’m far from perfect, sometimes repeating familiar recipes and sometimes eating alternative things I know are healthy and sometimes not so much. Sunday night at our house is pizza night, so that hasn’t changed too much. I’ve lost five pounds this week and happy about that. I’m in it for the duration to achieve my goal, step by step.

I went ahead and subscribed to this app for six months, but I wish I had tried out the app first. It's hard to log food, logging my exercise results in a double entry on Apple+. I wish I could just enter numbers instead of being forced to scroll. I can't find out what things like "quinoa salad" contain so I can't judge which selection is most correct to what I ate for dinner. I can't enlarge the page to full screen on my iPad, which is annoying because it would work better for me if I could. It's not the worst health app I've ever used, bit it is definitely on the lower end of the list. I likely won't renew. Update: I've been using the app for about a week. I'm taking off a star. This app is ridiculously difficult to use. Worse, it freezes up all the time. The inability to enter custom numbers is a huge problem. The app is awkward and clunky, and fully half or more of what I log is likely inaccurate because there is almost no customizing available. If I was simply dieting, this wouldn't be a huge problem (although annoying nonetheless), but I'm using this app because I'm prediabetic, and accuracy is vital. I'm not getting what I need out of this app. I'm moving on to something else. Two stars is generous.

UPDATE: the developers sent me an email telling me that they were sorry that I had the experience that I had. They also said, “We do offer refunds for initial charges within the first 24 hours” This was simply not true. When I contacted them just a couple of hours or so after I downloaded the app, they replied that they don’t give refunds. After I filed the dispute, they offered half of the price back. This was not acceptable. I am STILL not happy, but I had to take what I could get and count my losses. DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY I was a customer for a few hours before I realized this app was not for me. I contacted them, and they were gracious; however, they would not refund my money. I filed a dispute via PayPal, and they offered to give me half of my money back, even though I had only used it for a couple hours. to me, it was not user-friendly. It was hard to navigate. It did not give me the meal choices that I thought it would give. I decided to close out the resolution and take half of my money back because that’s all they would give. I would not recommend that you purchase this unless they give you a free grace period to determine if you liked the app or did not like it.
