  • MyFitnessPal: Calorie Counter1star· Sep 15, 2026

    Super buggy — Choosing the “sign up with Apple” option has totally broken my data ownership. I bought a premium plan, but I’m still forever paywalled. Was unable to sync recipes and had to re-install the app, went to log in and was forced to re-subscribe as there is no “Restore” option. Was then double billed for the annual plan. And guess what…still can’t get by the paywall. It’s ridiculous this

    New update is TRASH — New update 9/10/26 is horrible. I just lost my 2 month move streak on apple fitness because strava’s syncing doesn’t work anymore. Also the interface is now insanely cluttered and just looks bad

  • Hevy - Workout Tracker Gym Log1star· Sep 6, 2026

    Super outdated — Very robust selection of workout, and free tier features are amazing. However, the whole app is extremely outdated because of its syncing issue with Apple Health. The syncing is extremely horrible and unacceptably bad. According to this app, I somehow burned only 15 calories during my 30 minutes of strength training. One burns that much calories by just lying in bed. My trial to u

    New Update Causes Long-time Subscriber to Cancel — I’ve been a long-time subscriber, but this update has made the app significantly more cumbersome to use. I don’t like that I can no longer see my goal tiles on the dashboard. Being able to quickly see how much protein and fiber I’ve consumed each day was an important part of how I tracked my nutrition. I also don’t like that when I’m logging foo

  • MyFitnessPal: Calorie Counter1star· Sep 15, 2026

    New features not great — I love the MyFitnessPal app and have been using it for years. WHY DID YOU CHANGE IT! There are too many clicks, your sliding goal setting is horrible - change it back!!!

  • MyFitnessPal: Calorie Counter1star· Sep 15, 2026

    It’s not just calories. — Before the new update, one of my favorite option to pin different nutrients you wanted to track on the homepage. In my case, I used this to track and minimize my daily intake of saturated fats and track and maximize my daily fiber intake. My goal is to lower my cholesterol, being fit doesn’t just involve tracking calories and weight. Now I have to go through several scree

  • Strava: Run, Bike, Walk1star· Sep 14, 2026

    Meh — Heat maps are a good, but many roads aren’t recognized so it’s hard to plot a route, even on desk top. Many of the features that are paywalled on Strava can be found for free elsewhere. I will not be renewing my membership.

  • MyFitnessPal: Calorie Counter1star· Sep 9, 2026

    They — I answered dozens of questions for nothing just so the Premium paywall would show up. As someone who’s actually willing to pay for a good app, I felt like I was being tricked, so I deleted it right away.

    broken step count + nonvegan recs — the step count is inaccurate and inconsistent. i walked 15.5k steps yesterday, i even walked a bit extra because the app was weirdly behind and said i only had 14.7k steps, so i walked until the app said i had 15k and some change. and then today it says i only walked 14.9k steps yesterday, which is inconsistent with both what it said yesterday, and the graph dir

    Worst Calorie Tracker — This app sucks. Not accurate at ALL. other apps have the better features and they’re all accurate. This app sucks bad. 0 stars.

  • MyFitnessPal: Calorie Counter1star· Sep 9, 2026

    Not accurate step recording history — At the end of the day the app tells you that it had recorded a certain amount of steps but the following day it takes off more than 600 steps

How this is counted

Every number is arithmetic over the reviews we hold, re-counted weekly: nothing modelled, nothing scored. Themes come from a frozen pattern classifier rather than a model reading reviews, so the same review always lands in the same bucket. A market rate is pooled across every app here; the store rate is the same count across 13,217 apps. A complaint is only called a gap when at least half the market carries it, at least 20 reviews are behind it, and the market’s rate is elevated above the store’s, the same cutoff used everywhere on this site, because a problem concentrated in one app is that app’s bug, and a problem every app on the store shares is nobody’s gap.
