Lifesum: Health and Nutrition App Reviews

The database is too small, and even when you find the food you want all the serving sizes and measurement values are all off.

Helps you keep healthy

This app can literally change your life and help you get in shape. I use it everyday! I dont care to buy a full version because I cant stand any subscription type purchases, but even the light version is a great help. There is a room for improvement but overall it is a great app! Highly recommend it!

When I got I I like you can scan the barcode and also I know how much calories I burned ant why I ate.

easy to use, really effective

Great app to use. I use it everyday. Even when Im not having the best of days. It holds me accountable.

So far so good. Really like the design, shame that so many things are for premium users only.

Like many people before me have mentioned, I really wish the letter rating system would be turned off, or at least have an option to be toggled off. With many healthy meals, I still get a C or D rating, simply because my portions arent large enough to fit the magic number required by Life Sum. When trying to loss weight and find what lifestyle modifications work best, this is extremely discouraging. Im very disappointed that the company still has not taken this into consideration especially with how many people have complained about this in previous updates.

Lifesum oversimplifies the information it tries to present, and in doing so it ends up giving you a very warped understanding of your diet. Healthy, wholesome foods like bananas, hard boiled unsweetened applesauce, and mushrooms are given poor scores for "high in natural sugar" or "calorie dense." Also, the nutritional facts such as serving size and calories are wildly inaccurate. There are many better apps out there!

Covers the basics, fairly easy to use. Still learning all the features.

Helped me a hell of alot

I use this religiously, it makes dieting more rewarding for myself personally. However I really wish that the "food rating" could go away as it really serves no purpose but to bum me out. I also wish you could track activity, i.e. Walking, biking in miles instead of minutes. Thank you, Lifesum!

Its sscond day i sm filling dairy and it shows my yesterday mesls. I cant delet yesterday s info.

I really love Lifesum (although Ive failed to log in days) I think its great it gives you information on what youre eating. The grading might not be as accurate but it usually has a reason why- too high in sugar, not enough calories, etc. Ive tried every weight loss tracker (including weight watchers) but I enjoy this (and sparkpeople) the best!

This has been my favorite health app overall. Easy to understand, the features are well integrated. But I find it is difficult to find the foods I eat through the search. It requires very specific information, apostrophes and hyphenated will yield different results. I wish there was a way to look up a restaurant and see what options they have by grade.

Can be a helpful app but the prices are excessive. Not much to do in free version except count calories

I cannot begin to describe how angry and disappointed I am in this app. This app is working fine for me until I scrolled past their ad for their monthly subscription which said was three dollars and something cents a month. How misleading. I bought the subscription thinking I was going to pay three dollars a month, and they charged me the next day for $50 for a full year. Not to mention, they also say in their ad that you can cancel this subscription at any time, but that is awesome misleading and untrue because there is no option available for you to cancel it. And even if I was able to cancel it I doubt that I would see a penny of my money back. I have already emailed them I hope to get my money back, but with the experience I have had with them already, I doubt it will. I seriously would never ever recommend this app for anyone to use or buy from.

Needs an update for iPhone 7, or something. The latest version uses a lot of power and keeps my phone awake a lot. Before that, it was the best way to record food and exercise Ive ever used

I love this app! It is perfect for tracking foods because they have every brand in their system so you can record exactly what u ate and its calories! The only thing I would change is to have the app GIVE A ONE-TIME PAYMENT OPTION INSTEAD OF MONTHLY!

Recently Ive been trying to start living a more conscious lifestyle. When I came across this app I was pleased to find it had everything I was looking for when it came to looking at the food I eat. The subscription to me is a little pricey but I find myself satisfied at the moment, will definitely update this in the coming months.
