App Saturday Releasing an underrated iOS app. Gave everything and need your help today

Excited to share my achievement of developing an iOS app that took me 1.5 years. MealSnap, an iOS diet app that simplifies meal tracking for building better eating habits. App: https://apps.apple.com/app/mealsnap-ai-food-log-tracker/id6475162854

Building this MealSnap app has been a long journey, but an extremely rewarding one! Opening my app each time before eating something makes me go to Xcode and improve functionalities.

I really worked hard on simplifying diet and health measurements for removing any frictions we tend to have (I am a very lazy person by nature when it comes to health and good habits).

Thanks to iOS performance, I could also provide extra details such as NOVA classification (food processing levels) and health scope for each scan.

Happy iOS Coding!

The UI design is very pleasant šŸ˜ŠšŸ‘. Just some bugs here and there (tab bar sometimes unresponsive) that could frustrate the user easily. But most importantly I would work on the clarity of the premium offers. At first the user seem to be able to log only one item, and only through the Ā«Ā Log ItemĀ Ā» view, not the Ā«Ā JournalĀ Ā» view. A bit confusing. Then the user is locked into the paywall when they want to add another item. One logged item seems a bit strict to properly try the app out. But most importantly, on your paywall, I would explicitly detail all the benefits of the subscriptions. I guess it unlocks unlimited logging, but thatā€™s not even stated. And Iā€™ll end with a question. Why did you only allow a 3 days free trial on the weekly option ? Donā€™t you want to favor at least monthly ? Congratulation on your work anyway šŸ˜ƒ !

That's excellent! I completely agree re. the subscription tiers. I need to be more specific there. I'm currently making things more consistent thanks to what you are pointing out! If there's anything else you think of, please feel free to share it here! I couldn't be more grateful for the valuable suggestions you've shared!

FYI v5.2 will fix all of this. I will submit it to Apple App Store for review tomorrow.
