| Pain point | What shows up in iOS reviews |
|---|---|
| Logging freezes mid-action | Users report the app locking up specifically when tapping log or switching between meals and snacks — exactly the wrong moment to freeze. |
| Social features have no meaningful safety controls | Once someone follows you, there's no way to block or remove them if they change their username or profile. |
| Support doesn't resolve reported issues | Reviewers describe contacting customer service multiple times for the same problem without any resolution. |
| Subscription and cancellation friction | The app is consistently described as "good but hard to cancel" — subscription management is a recurring frustration in recent reviews. |
MyNetDiary has a reputation in long-term tracking communities as one of the more dependable, no-nonsense options. That reputation is mostly earned: the logging is solid, the food database is reasonably accurate, and the app doesn't aggressively upsell or clutter the experience. The problem surfaces when something goes wrong — and in a daily-use app you rely on for nutritional accuracy, things do occasionally go wrong. Freezes during logging, social features with gaps that have no recourse, support that can't resolve issues, and a subscription that's harder to stop than start: these aren't catastrophic failures, but they erode the "dependable" promise at the exact moments it matters most.
Fuel avoids the social and support complexity entirely by staying focused on the individual. There's no social feed, no follower system, no account-management drama. Your data lives on-device by architectural default — not a toggle, but a foundational design decision — so there's no cloud sync to freeze or lose. Apple Health and Apple Watch are first-class surfaces, not integrations bolted on later. And beyond reliable logging, Fuel is a coaching system: a live daily health score, a personalized morning recap, and a weekly review with an explicit action plan give you a multi-touchpoint feedback loop that dependable but coaching-free trackers like MyNetDiary simply don't offer.
MyNetDiary is dependable enough for most daily tracking needs — until reliability and support gaps surface at inconvenient moments. Fuel trades social features and cloud complexity for on-device privacy, a stable Apple ecosystem integration, and a coaching layer that no workhorse tracker provides.
Once the undisputed default in calorie tracking — buoyed by the largest food database in the category and years of "everyone uses it" momentum — MyFitnessPal has spent the better part of the last five years quietly becoming a product that serves its business model more reliably than it serves its users
If you can tune out the relentless Premium push — discount timers, persistent banners, nudges baked into every surface — Lose It! is genuinely one of the more pleasant calorie-logging experiences available
