Major Highlights of the Week

Subscription Confusion
Users are frustrated with unexpected charges after the free trial, often without receiving a notification before the subscription starts. This leads to dissatisfaction and a sense of being misled about the app's cost structure.
I didn't get a reminder the trial ran out and to pay the subscription and now lost $63.00 for a year’s subscription I didn’t want.
Family Sharing Issues
The app's family sharing feature is problematic, with users experiencing difficulties in setting it up and maintaining it, especially when using 'Sign In With Apple'. This results in a cumbersome user experience and potential loss of access to paid features.
Family sharing gets hosed by Apple in an 'update'. Have to turn it all back on.
Database Limitations
Users report that the app's database is incomplete, with many common products not recognized during scans, leading to frustration and decreased trust in the app's reliability.
I went through my pantry and scanned at least 20 items and not a single one found.
Cultural Inclusivity
The app lacks options for certain cultural dietary restrictions such as halal and kosher, which limits its usability for users with these needs.
Wow. No option to enter halal or kosher for your dietary restriction and you can't edit your dietary profile once it's created.
Customer Support Gaps
Users experience significant delays or lack of response from customer support, especially regarding subscription issues and refunds, leading to a perception of poor service.
I have tried multiple times to reach out to customer service to make them aware I would like to receive my money back due to false claims.
Misleading Free Trial
The app is perceived as misleading because it requires credit card information for a free trial, which users feel is a tactic to ensure they are charged if they forget to cancel.
I don't give anyone my CC info without trying the product first. Asking for my CC to access a free trial is skeevy and I never do it.
