NGF Inspire 4+

Great and easy app to use! Love the features!

Leaving this negative review in hopes that the app will improve. I WANT to use this tool to improve myself.

This is supposed to be a tool for tracking nutrition, but I t’s wildly difficult to find the foods you want to enter if you’re not eating a primarily western diet. It’s even difficult to enter fresh produce. The food bank seems to only be updated by the users themselves. There is a barcode scan option that I have found will not work if the barcode is on a rounded object like a can.

The daily view is fine, but it would be nice to be able to look back and see macros for a different day than today. It would also be nice to see aggregated data or be able to export it to summarize the data on your own. My trainer seemed to have to go to each day to view my trends, so they were basically eyeballing it instead of being able to concretely identify that I need to work on lowering my fat macros or whatever other trend.

Most annoying is that foods entered will arbitrarily disappear and reappear.
I’ve already paid for a different app through the end of the year so I’m double entering and double checking that the calories are in the same ballpark and then going back to see if my entries exist anymore or if I need to re-enter them in this app.

I was told to use this with the exercise inspire app, but there does not seem to be any integration so it seems a rather pointless tool compared to other options on the market. There’s even an Apple Health integration but not an integration to the exercise app. I’m only continuing to use this because my trainer doesn’t have access to any other tools to see my nutrition. NGF, you’re doing a disservice to your employees and consumers by not updating this app.
