Most-Requested Missing Features

Features users are literally asking for in their reviews, ranked by demand.

#1: Actual meal plans and recipes

High Demand
"Ad for this app says meal plans. It doesn't. The meal plans was the only reason I downloaded it and paid $30"
"This app has only 20 recipes and a few guides. Not worth the money for the app"

#2: Comprehensive carnivore-specific food database

High Demand
"the database just isn't strong enough or diverse enough. It's missing product after product. You've got carb loaded products, but you don't have protein based products. Or fat based products"

#3: Reliable data persistence and sync

High Demand
"On day 22, I opened the app and saw the splash screen as if never used? When attempting to login as an existing user, my email was not found? 21 days of d"
"If I go back and edit something for yesterday, it wipes out"

#4: Accurate macro calculations

High Demand
"This app falls way short of having accurate data for the food logs. When I calculate by doing my own research, most nutrition profile data is wrong, especially in the key macros"

Build Recommendations

Prioritized actions based on user demand and market opportunity.

Build reliable data persistence with cloud sync

22% of complaints involve catastrophic data loss after weeks of tracking. Users invest significant time in food logging and losing data causes immediate abandonment and refund requests.

Create accurate carnivore-focused nutrition database

Current apps have wrong macro data and missing protein/fat products. Users manually verify nutrition facts, defeating the app's core purpose. A curated, accurate database is a critical differentiator.

Deliver actual meal plans and recipes (50+ minimum)

This is the #1 advertised feature driving $30 purchases, but competitors only deliver ~20 recipes. Building 50-100+ carnivore meal plans would justify premium pricing and eliminate false advertising complaints.

Implement ad-free premium experience or properly positioned ads

33% of reviews cite unusable ad implementation. Either skip ads entirely for paid users or ensure ads never block UI elements. The current implementation causes immediate app deletion.

Perfect basic tracking functionality (servings, quantities, editing)

17% report broken input fields and non-functional features. Nailing the fundamentals—working quantity inputs, stable editing, functioning barcode scanner—is table stakes before adding advanced features.
