Complaint

Common complaints

  • Aggressive Monetization
    • They placed the barcode scanning feature behind a paywall of $20 a month. There are plenty of other apps that have this feature for free.
  • Syncing and Data Integration Issues
    • Its not syncing with whats entered on phone and vice versa in realtime.
    • Used to sync with Garmin but the exercise calories from steps etc don't sync at all now
