YAZIO Food & Calorie Counter

This app is, as an app, definitely better than "that other one." But it's limited: you can only sync from *one* brand of device; add another and it switches. (Google Fit is useless as a hub as many devices don't sync fully or at all.) Polar support is broken enough that I went back to manual entry. Nor is it particularly innovative about food handling, and there's no website access: device or nothing. Still, much better than MFP.

When you search food it doesn't have as many options as I would like, such as restaurants. It might have one calorie count for something and the one below it is completely different. It's hard to know what's right or wrong. You can add them in but I don't want to do that every time so I feel like I am guessing. I wish it would have things set as peice or amount. It reminds you frequently to log info and encourages you which I like, and has a lot of meal options. The meal calorie count is nice.

Very good app, easy to use. A huge positive aspect is the lack of an avalanche of ads, like most apps do. One thing that could be improved, perhaps, is the accuracy of calories for the same types of foods, and measures (some use cups or ounces, when tablespoon would more appropriate, like for oats and cottage cheese). Overall, it's a nice app that can help with keeping the focus on the amount of food and water intaken, and activities done.

I've only used Yazio for one day and I already love it. Pros:no intrusive ads, its not only a calorie counter but a supportive coach, the water tracker motivates you throughout the day with messages that you'll want to reach your goal. It seamlessly syncs with Google fit so that calories burned transfer over to your meal plan. Cons: Food database needs work. Many food choices once scanned were not correct. But you are able to add the correct food item to the database.

I used to like this app, last time I used it was a few years ago. This time around the UI changes are terrible. I'm stuck in dark mode without an option to change it. The color for the UI is pure black / grey. Who uses pure black as background color? Adding food to a meal doesn't show what's been added so far to the meal. Button transitions takes more than 1.5 seconds. Each tab takes more than a few seconds to load.

I kinda wish I hadn't been sucked into buying the "new and shiny" subscription. The app is really slow to search foods, the pictures don't match the items and everything is measured in ounces. It's a real pain when you're trying to adjust for portion size. My morning shake is a great example. I use 1 teaspoon of peanut butter, but the app offers 1 spread, 1 cup or 1 oz! I waste time trying to convert a teaspoon into ounces which makes the food diary process frustrating and I won't keep it up.

The Update ruined it. Previously, the app was a breeze to use, priced well, and very useful. Now the UI is uglier and everything takes more time to input. For example, you can no longer see the brand of foods you search for unless you click into each item that shows up. Finding a particular food item in the database now requires numerous more clicks and a lot more time. It's genuinely a pain to use now and I can't recommend it.

Out of all of the similar apps out there, this is my favorite. I always have trouble with other apps and it's barcode scanning and, adding meals. This is the only app that I can actually add foods into a meal instead of logging each and every food separately. It also easily gives me suggestions and let's me search for foods. I also enjoy the mini challenges, such as going without chocolate for 21 days. It really keeps me motivated. It has a lot of features that other apps just don't have.

Exhausting app! I really want to love it but it needs a lot of tweaking for it to compare with other apps. Most all of the nutritional data is incorrect and you have to manually input the correct data. I paid for the pro version because it was in sale and I always try to help new developers. I was determined to give it a month of trying to use it before I made a review and verdict. I will go back to my old trusty app.I will check back in a couple months to see if they update the crazy.

Middle-aged woman, I love it. Number one, I appreciate that this app does not force you to sign up although you do have the option. Emails and all that aren't demanded, although I suggest for the Ultimate Experience. I did the free version for a while and loved it and ultimately signed up for the whole enchilada. I find it helpful and I'm finding success. At my age I don't look for a quick fix I expect any unrealistic results. This app is giving me what I need slow-and-steady results I recommend
