Shameful Ads
I have been using LoseIt since 2013 and have been happy with it. I lost 35 lbs and continued to use the app to maintain my weight. Now, I am looking for a new weight loss/management app because LoseIt has lost its integrity. First, the app will not sync across my devices. Then, a floating bar code scanner is right in the way of entering meals, serving no purpose considering a fixed bar code scanner is at the top of the page and worked just fine.
The worst part though? An app update that indicated it was merely for fixing bugs, yet updated with a huge blue bar across the calorie login screen complete with advertisements and a shameful message indicating that the only way to remove that bar is to purchase the premium membership...that you would have to purchase every year! Had the developers of LoseIt made it clear in the update description that advertisements were a part of this update, then I would not have updated. As it stands now, I will never buy the premium membership, visit the ad sponsors, or recommend this app. I am also looking for a replacement to LoseIt. Too sneaky! I get that free apps sometimes have ads, but LoseIt did not (except to unobtrusively promote their premium membership) and to sneak these obtrusive ads in with an update that did not indicate such, with the only way to get rid of the ads being to shell out $40--every year-is flat out wrong.
