Not sure if it’s worth upgrading. Thoughts?

I stick with the free version - there's no feature of the premium version that entices me to pay for the app.2

I personally use the free version, and am very satisfied with it. I'm happy with everything it offers.1

I was on the fence also until I upgraded for 1 month and now I have purchased the plan for a year. I don’t see all those annoying ads, there is so much more content, recipes, ways to measure your success, advice from trainers via email and much more. I like that I can journal my exercise meals and etc. try it for a month and see I think you will like it just like me5

Good question joseeboyer. I’d thought much along the same lines. I’m still on the free version, and it’s working for me. There may come a time in the near future when I need to fine tune my intake and the access to a range of recipes etc would be useful.2

There’s really no reason to spend your hard earned money on the paid version.1

Be interested to know the consensus on this too!1 -
Free version seems enough the extras for the premium don’t seem worth it0

The only problem at the moment is that there are several bugs; the food analysis doesn't work for more than 30 days of previous entries and exporting data has missing data (if you do multiple exercises on a single day only one exercise is exported so you cannot work out net energy from the data). Hopefully they fix these issues soon as they are the only two things I got premium for (although I don't mind supporting good sites and also like an ad-free experience, I would prefer to get the features I paid for as well)1
