| Who it's not for | Macro nerds wanting deep analytics and strong recipes | Anyone wanting free barcode scanning |
| Privacy | No known public vulnerabilities found in the sources reviewed.⁸ | Major 2018 breach exposed 150M accounts; no newer confirmed incidents in reviewed sources. |
| Support quality | No support-quality evidence found | No support-quality evidence in sources |
| Public sentiment | Early users like fast text and photo logging, but independent reviews are scarce and recipe features get called generic.¹ | Users praise the food database and streak culture but increasingly complain about ads, the paywalled barcode scanner, and disruptive redesigns. |
| Biggest gotcha | Health data is sensitive; disclosed security is boilerplate 'standard practices' plus a broken security page.⁸ | Barcode scanner is Premium-only since 2024 . free tier loses its best feature. |
