No. Too expensive4

Right, which is why I want to talk to users who have used it to see if it's worth the price3
-
I use premium. I like seeing my macros on my daily summary instead of just calories. I like being able to set different daily goals. I like not seeing ads. And I like supporting an app that I use all the time.19

I'm a premium member. I like the increased functionality of the diary function for keeping track of what I want to track and to change when what I want changes. I also don't like fighting ads. I have the $50 sucked out of my credit care once a year so I hardly notice it. It works out to less than 14-cents/day, so why not? I'm saving more than that on the reduced grocery bill.7

I just got premium and it's alot easier with your macro breakdown since you can see each meal what macros are in it. And I go by grams wich you can't set unless you pay for.i like it. If your eating healthy and worrying about your overall health whats 50 a year?2

I got it when I started tracking calories a year ago, figuring that I'd be more likely to stick with something if I'm spending money on it. And hey, it worked - my current streak is 203 days. I never used the free version much so I'm not 100% sure which features are which, but I definitely like setting goals by meal and day of the week, and being able to export my data. Plus boo adds and yay supporting something I use a lot.1
-
Yes, I like the additional functionality, and psychologically I do better with trackers I've paid for.1
-
Following, great question! I've been interested in this too but not sure if it's worth it. Thanks for asking!2

As another thought, you could always subscribe for the month and see if you think it is worth it...0

I used the free version initially, hated the ads, looked at the premium functionality (macros, custom goals, NO ADS, etc.) and signed up monthly, after three months thought "yup, this works for me!" and switched to a yearly subscription. Works for me!0
-
Yes to premium. Hated the adverts - so almost worth it for that alone. Macros helpful - have changed what I eat - which is what it's about.
I cancelled my weight watchers subscription for Premium so actually saving a lot of £.0 -
If you use add blocker on your browser I don't get adds haha I'd forgotten they even had adds

I have premium for the ability to set macros by gramme and also to have different goals on different days (training days/rest days).
Massively worth it for me, as I'm more about the macros than the calories.
I feel like it's good value for money in the context of my other health and fitness spending - gym membership, protein powder/bars, gym clothes etc.0 -
I think the price is worth it. Setting different daily goals, better tracking of macros and (this is why I pay for it) logging exercises without adding the burned calories to the daily intake - all that helps me a lot.
Yearly price is totally acceptable, but nevertheless I pay on a monthly basis to be more flexible because I'm not sure if I want to use the premium features for a whole year.
Last month I forgot to renew the premium version and had to use the free version for one day - worst day ever.1 -
Premium is well worth the $ to me - I'm a T2 diabetic on insulin and having the carb grams tallied for me per meal is invaluable for insulin dosing.2

^^^ This. I got free premium but once my subscription is up I will probably renew it.0 -

All of this is why I have premium also. Honestly, not having ads makes $50/year worth it.1 -
Big question: is it faster?1
-
I used the premium version 2 years ago and lost the weight I wanted to lose. Like the others, I liked the added customization it has--not too concerned with ads. I'm back because naturally I stopped logging my food and gained all the weight back but this time I'm trying to do it without the premium version. My thought is it would depend on how much weight you had to lose and how successful you were just using the free version. I honestly don't think it will matter but only time will tell.0

It might be because you wouldn't be loading ads.0 -
Oh wow, I did not realize until reading this that there was a yearly option - I am on it!1
-
Thank you everyone for your input!!!0
-
I have it, mostly for the lack of ads. $50/year is pretty dang cheap for something I use so much.0
-
Yes, I have Premium. I like to support the app, the removal of ads, and most importantly for me the ability to set calorie goals daily. I travel for work so depending on how many days I'll give myself more cals on travel days and less on others (with the same total for the week), super simple with Premium.
As far as is it worth it for you, that would depend on what features you would actually use or are important to you.0
