CAPretty unimpressive and inconvenient-… Pretty unimpressive and inconvenient- (I'm in Canada) the database is not very large- had to spend a lot of time entering food labels in- and the macros didn't match. When I contacted them about this, I was tols they have experts on staff that calculate, so their formulas were exact.... pretty sure the people putting together the fresh fruit and oat cups that have labels know their own food, so.... Also no print friendly recipes- which the recipes with macro breakdown were the only reason I left myfitnesspal and PAID for this. The interface for mobile is glitchy. No refunds, and I knew by end of day 2 of my YEAR subscription that I disliked it and it wasn't what I wanted/was going to benefit me the most. Do not recommend, myfitnesspal has a bigger database, and is easier to use.

GB50/50 I’ve gone back and forth between this app and my fitness pal. I like both but prefer my fitness pal. They have more accommodations for the same general price BUT macrostax sent me an email offering a promotion price and I thought with that it might be worth customizing the meals since many are not programmed in (as much as MFP). It takes a bit to dial in where your needs. The first time I used MS I was power strength training in most of my routine. When I went back I was running more than anything else. The calculations to my needs were generic. What I would burn in strength with the same amount of time in exercise as running was vastly different. With that being said, it can still be a great tool to pay attention to your own patterns. I enjoyed anytime I did speak to customer service except when I became pregnant. I requested a hold on the app as I wouldn’t be calculated or distracted by numbers while ensuring my focus on growing a healthy baby. I did not want to cancel nor want any money back, simply suspend the account so I could use it when I was not pregnant. I wanted to be sure to get through at-least the first trimester safely without tracking. The customer rep seemed to not even care to entertain the thought for a second. The first time she was ever rude and messaged me even though I’m pregnant I could still track and also that she checked my account and since I paid for a year with a discount added she would not give me a partial re-imbursement, which I never asked for! I see from the reviews above maybe she was bitter from so many others asking for refunds though I did not. It would be a nice suggestion to have the option to suspend the account through different seasons such as this. I thought this app was geared towards coming alongside women in fitness specifically but I could be wrong.

GBThe Company is Scam The company is a scam. They advertise services for one price and after you sign up you have to pay for a premium membership fee. I requested a refund within 10 minutes after I signed up and they refused. You are better off using My Fitness Pal for free.

GBDON'T DO IT DON'T DO IT! Completely and utterly useless. They promise a macro nutrient breakdown and all you get is a calorie count (not even a broken down list of fat, carb, protein) and an app to log your food - which you can get for free from at least 5 other sites. I had read reviews that stated this and I was a fool to think I would find differently - I did not. Then, their "policy" is not to provide a refund. So they deceptively advertise they'll give you one thing, not provide it, and then have a 'policy' that says they won't give you a refund. Buyer beware - scam, scam, scam!

GBHave been using this app for 5 weeks… Have been using this app for 5 weeks now and for the first time in several years of “dieting” am finally loosing some weight! I find the app easy yo use. The recipes are great and I can’t count how many I’ve tried so far. Counting macros can be tedious, I’m hoping to eventually have a better idea of what certain meals contain so I don’t have to be so rigorous about it. I signed up with a holiday deal for half price for a full year, and will definitely get my money worth!
