MyBites - Diet & Macro Tracker

This Weight Watchers Points Calculator is brilliant. Just one small payment and that's it. I have used leading diet companies online before that cost a fortune and this app is by far the best. It keeps you on track all the time and most foods are listed in their database. It will take a couple of times to get around the system which is easy enough and it logs everything for you. Like I said before just a small payment and that's it. My daughter bought it also and we compare notes. All your favourite foods are kept so you just have to click on them to use again and it gives you brilliant personal analysis. Buy it and you will love it.

I figured for $5 I could give this app a try. I was looking for a cheaper alternative to weight watchers but a similar program. This looked like what I was looking for. I read the reviews about the weekly bonus points not being used correctly and thought that would be an easy enough thing to overlook. The database seems fairly sizable, and they have an option to add foods that aren’t in the database. UNFORTUNATELY, when you put all of the data in for that food and hit save, it disappears into the black hole of their system. It can’t be pulled up. It doesn’t recognize the barcode. It doesn’t save it to the meal you were adding it to. It’s just....gone. Kind of like their support. I emailed them over a week ago about this problem and haven’t even gotten so much as a confirmation that they received it. I checked the address I sent it to, and it’s correct according to their “website” (pretty pathetic website, just directs you to the App Store and their useless faq). After doing a bit more research into weight watchers, they don’t even give you the right point allowance for either the daily or weekly. This app is a rip off!

It’s a good app & definitely helps you lose weight, but it’s lacking in some areas. Biggest being that it doesn’t recognize all the zero point foods for WW Freestyle. I can overlook that & just not enter them (or click Fruit or Vegetable” for either of those), but it makes me wonder if the bites are correct on other foods, especially because there’s no zero bite option for chicken & eggs. I wish they had an option where you could choose the plan you want, & go from there. As for the interface, it’s mostly good. The only thing that really makes no sense is that to do almost anything (track weight, create meals, etc), you have to hit the “+” button then choose a meal.. it’s just odd. With all that said, it’s a good app especially for the price & no monthly fee, & I’ve lost weight quickly & it helps keep you on track.

It has taken me a lot of wasted years to realize I was not going to lose weight and keep it off on my own, weight watchers has been a success for me. I wish I had tried it earlier but I was stubborn and blaming myself and calling myself all kinds of names for not being able to get the job done. Stupid, stupid, and again stupid. What was important was losing the weight not patting myself on the back for doing it "all by myself" what a 2 year old mentality! The apps are helping me and I will take anything that helps me on this journey.

Like the previous reviewer i am also trying the fast diet and need to find low calorie recipes to get me through the fast day. This app has hundreds of recipes sorted by calorific value. Just what i need. And then the food diary adds it all up so i can keep under the 500 cals limit. On non fast days it's quite an eye opener to see just how much food i really eat and I've started to naturally cut down. You have to be keen to fill the diary in each day, but i want to lose weight and this weight watchers point calculator app really helps
