I used to love this app and its simplicity, but the continued pushing of AI nonsense made it so i couldn’t return to using it. So tired of not being able to fully opt-out of LLM features that really clutter up, slow down, and dumbify all the applications i used to love and add to the environmental toll. Yet another thing that will be returning to pen and paper, i guess.

I am running v18.2.0 of this app, had a spare phone which I would update apps to test if they are better or worse. This app is literally unusable on my other phone lol. Go back to the previous version of the app.

I can’t believe they removed the fasting timer. It was the only reason I renew. I thought it was a hidden feature, but no, it was just removed. I never liked this app. It really sucks. too buggy, always has problems and the AI stuff doesn’t really work. Now I’m stuck with this for the whole year.

App seems to have tons of bugs and other issues now that are super annoying. AI tracker seems inconsistent and difficult to handle

1356 day usage streak. App was once great, should’ve never been updated. Consistent updates have worsened the performance; you open the app and it’s suck on a spinner endlessly. AI mode is inaccurate. App not track apple health data properly — it will track the same exercise multiple times. Paid for the premium version twice, complete waste of money; it provided absolutely no benefit. This app barely even works anymore. Such a shame.

I’ve had this app for years now, even bought the premium at one point but something wasn’t right. I wasn’t losing weight like I was hoping for and I ended up gaining weight. I am a little overweight and I am really trying to get back to a healthy size, but there’s glitches that happen on the app frequently to where it is telling me I am burning more than what I normally do. Doubling or even tripling the amount that I actually burned and I also it’s not counting my walking at all. I don’t want to get rid of this app, but is there a way to fix it??

Lifesum used to be a very good app with many useful free features. Over time, more and more basic features have moved behind the paywall. I don’t necessarily have a problem with paying — I’m willing to pay for a good product — but the current app has too many bugs and basic usability problems to justify it. First, the meal UI has become unnecessarily inconvenient. Every time I open Lunch or Dinner, it only shows two items, and I always have to tap “More” to see the third item and beyond. This makes no sense on an iPhone, where scrolling is the natural interaction. Requiring an extra tap every single time for something this basic creates unnecessary friction. This did not used to be a problem. Second, adding food items has become very unreliable. I often select one item, but Lifesum adds the wrong item instead. I then have to delete it and add it again, and sometimes it is still wrong. On some occasions, I have had to force-close the app and restart it, only to find that the same food item has been added multiple times. Third, the Apple Health integration has serious synchronization bugs. Lifesum sometimes imports the same walking step data multiple times, with each duplicate showing zero calories. More seriously, it can also import the same workout multiple times. If the same workout is imported three times, Lifesum may count the calories burned three times as well, which makes the daily calorie balance completely inaccurate. I sometimes have to force-close and restart the app several times before the activity data becomes correct. These are very basic reliability issues and should be fixed quickly. Activity and calorie tracking are core functions of an app like this. Users should not have to constantly verify whether meals or workouts were duplicated, deleted incorrectly, or counted multiple times. My suggestions are simple: 1. Fix the reliability bugs first, especially food logging and Apple Health synchronization. 2. Prevent duplicate workouts and duplicate activity data from being counted multiple times. 3. Improve the basic usability and remove unnecessary extra taps. 4. Thoroughly test the core logging experience before putting more basic features behind a paywall. I don’t mind paying for an app that works well. But if basic functions are unreliable and the everyday user experience keeps getting worse, users will have little reason to pay for it. I hope Lifesum focuses not only on monetization, but also on product quality, reliability, and usability again.

Used to be a genuinely good app. I used for an extremely long time and really like the UI and how simple the app was. But now everything revolves around their subscription which is not worth it in my opinion. To set a custom calorie intake you need a subscription now which is something that used to be free. Every time I come back to this app, more and more features that used to be free now require their subscription

I dislike how the app transfers data from apple health. The health app will tell you that you have burned 100 calories and for some reason you open the lifesum app and it says 400 calories. Scroll down and you see that it counts the active energy and steps you took FOUR TIMES. That is incredibly misleading and can lead you to eat more calories then you think you should have. What also grinds my gears is the fact that everytime i open the app it pops up with a question if i wanna pay for an upgrade.

Love this app, but sometimes it doesn’t tell me the accurate calories burned , then all of sudden it does .
