Complaint

Common complaints

  • Predatory Subscription Practices
    • They trick you into making non-refundable unwanted subscriptions.
  • Weight-Loss Centric Wording
    • The app focuses on daily weigh-in though, which is a pretty toxic pattern for people who have historically hated the number on the scale.
  • Technical Stability
    • The Shape app crashes repeatedly, doesn’t save account data, even with Premium paid subscription.
