Shape: Lose Weight, Fast

This app feels like I got robbed. It just doesn't work. I was dedicated to MyFabulous and thought this would be a great addition, but when I immediately downloaded I learned the app was barely functional and the devs just didn't care about it. I had signed up in a weird way do it renewed the sub after trial period, I reached out within minutes of renewal to cancel. The people at this "self help" app literally did not respond even after contacting them in several ways, eventually after reaching support they told me there is no way they could offer a refund. My name on this app is "PLEASE CANCEL" and I can't even change that. So every time I open to see if they actually made it functional I'm reminded how I was essentially robbed by this company. I cancelled MyFabulous bc I had such horrible customer Service from this app. There are MANY competing health / diet apps on here that far exceed this one and for less cost. This app has not changed or been updated since last year and is very bare bones. It is not motivating and actually promotes disordered eating. It's just not worth it. Really disappointed with dev response, this company is a money grab and trust there is no one who cares about the consumer experience on the other end.

I downloaded Shape to pair with the Fabulous app and though I know it’s still being worked on, I enjoy what features it currently has now. I love the bright colors, illustrations, the little character, and info graphics that are used in the app and enjoy the coaching and small encouragement snippets as well. The voices and musics are all very pleasant and calming! I also like the lay out of the food journal. I do think that adding more options to use when journaling your food would be great, such as a brunch label or adding a larger variety of answers to questions that are posed. I would also love (more) questions to answer in the journal (optional or recurring as a result of answers in previous journal entries) that perhaps help you along your journey…maybe something like “do you feel like this portion size should be smaller/bigger?” A recipe option would also be lovely to add the the app or a feature that suggests foods/meals that would be beneficial to helping individuals meet their specific goals. I’m giving the app a 4-star for now for a few reason, the first being that it does seem like an incomplete app and I do not think it is worth $40 for the year subscription in it’s current state. Second, the the typing feature when adding notes to meals is irksome - you have to completely cut or erase the text to go back and fix spelling errors or add anything over one character. If you try to continuously type you get sent back to the end of the text. I’d also like to see that area have a larger character count - I’ve already had several entries that quickly ran out of room before I could finish with my description. Over all, so far the app is good and I’m happy to pair it would the Fabulous app.

I was very excited about this app as i love fabulous and the format it is in. Off the bat i loved how similar shape is. I want to love this app so bad but quickly I found a few frustrating factors. 1. You can’t edit your daily log. I often found myself accidentally adding a meal as the wrong type or not finishing the entry before it would save. There is no way to edit or delete entry’s. 2. If you are looking for weight loss just know that this model is intuitive eating. There is no tracking of any real nutrients, calories or macros. (Which i am fine with but did not know before hand) 3. The price is high for what you get. The price for fabulous is definitely worth it seeing that the features it provides are quite extensive. Shape however does not have near the amount of features or functionalities and they are asking for the same price. The two apps are not as connected as they seem and require two different subscriptions. I wish the food log feature was simply added into the fabulous app even if they had to raise the price of fabulous. I think that would be way more valuable to more people. I really hope to try the app again later and see some updates and changes!
