South Beach Diet ® App Reviews

This app will not show me the same thing as my computer. Wont let me access recipes, my meal plans and that is disappointing since I am always on the go.

I use this app as a tool to keep me on track and give me proper guidance throughout my SBD adventure. Extremely easy to use and very useful.

Compared to other fitness/food journal apps, this app is not up to par. The food choices are limited and not up to date. The bar code scanning does not work at all. Almost every item I scan, its says that the item is not found. The list of foods you can/cannot eat in each phase is helpful, but items need to be added to this list and you should be able to filter the list based on what you can vs what you cant eat. When I want to look at a list of what I cant eat in phase 1, I have to scroll through the entire list and see what has an X next to it.... Not very efficient. I think the recipe portion is great, but you only get to look at approximately 10 recipes with the free version. Paying $4.99 a week for all the recipes is absolutely ridiculous. I wouldnt mind paying for an upgraded app, but that price is pretty steep. Lastly, the app desperately needs updated all around. The graphics are bad and it just needs a fresh look. I wish this app was much better than it is! Because of all these reasons, I will probably switch over to using the MyFitnessPal app.

I really like this app. It will help jumpstart your diet plan if you were doing low-carb or South Beach. I would even recommend it if youre trying to do the Adkins diet because the Atkins diet does not have a very good app. I like it because it allows you to calculate how much you have had to eat that day. I like it because it tells me when I have gone over my calories per day. I also like that it offers recipe ideas and it also has articles. It also has an exercise component that allows you to enter and how much you have been active for a particular day. Which is pretty cool! I have been doing it for about five days. But I think that I will have to go back to stage one periodically so I hope that the app allows me to do this. And I will never go to stage III because I cannot eat grains I can only eat non-gluten foods. Overall Im happy with the app and I do recommend it even though it is 499 per week. This is comparable to what you pay for the weight watchers app. But I did not do weight watchers because I cannot eat gluten! I would definitely recommend it however Im not sure that I will keep paying for it long term.

This app would be really great if you could scroll through all the breakfast options pick one, then scroll through snack, and so on. Its very rigid in its current form. This app could be really great with some investment. Its a shame because the diet is a good one, its just a lot of work without a more functional app support.

Would be helpful if this app actually SAVED when you add your meals & snacks. This has erased every entry Ive logged!!! Terrible!

Each previous days food journal entry disappears!! Each time I want to review my previous days entries I discover that all the information has fuss appeared. Super frustrating

It started out good. After a week or two it started kicking out everything I would put in. I would go through all that effort to enter everything and then an hour later it would be empty. Plus most of the stuff i scan doesnt show up.

Ive been using it for 5days now... So far I am very happy with the idea that I am creating my own daily meal plan... Choosing the food is very easy... Hope I hold on and go to phase 2...

I have been trying out other apps until I found this app. It has made my life much easier and in the first week I was able to loose 3 pound. The journal the calories counts, they have been a life saver. Thank you!! Lots of love Alex

I cant get anything to stay on the right day and multiple items repeat on one say.

Loved the app for a couple of years now, but getting really tired of food diary duplicating entries to the point of ridiculousness. To day, I apparently consumed 20 cups of coffee... My "calorie count" is up to 12,350. It should be around 950 calories so far for the day, but who can tell. The weight tracker errors every time I try to make an entry. This is all on my iPad. The app on my phone used to sync with my iPad, but now only searches and never updates. Can not even make an entry. Please fix these issues. There has not even been an update done on the app that I can even recall.

I should have listened to other reviewers who also had a problem with the meal planner which was the extra feature that made me willing to spend 4.99 a week for the app. Ill be contacting someone for a refund tomorrow. Very disappointed.

Just started using this a week ago and even tho its time-consuming right now because so much of what we eat has to be entered under "custom food", its really helping us to be able to keep track of calories, but just as important, the amount of cholesterol and sodium we consume. Very helpful, since my husband has CHF. Thank you! Looking forward to future updates giving it even more flexibility - making it 5 stars instead of 4!

Ive tried to cancel my subscription online and the "payment info" tab is the only tab that isnt supported by my browser. Ive tried 4 different browsers. Meanwhile I keep getting charged 4.39 because I always forget about dealing with this stupid little app. Dont do it! Changing my card info now.

So far Im 4 days into Phase l and its easier to stick to than I thought! I like the app too! As a full time corporate rat sometimes time gets away from us, but with a little organization and commitment, this works. Really like the recipes too!

All of the features I wanted are not available through the app. You have to go into the website. The entire point of purchasing the app was so that I could do these things through my phone. I emailed the company and told them to stop my membership fee ASAP and no one is responding.

Great food diary - but cumbersome to keep track of daily foods.

I like the ap but wish I could search foods for a recipe by the type of food rather than trying to find recipes for foods by scolding through the alphabet only to not find the food because it is under the name of the recipe.

Ive been using the app for a while now and its nice to have an app keep track of your calories and carbs.
