ZOE for Android

Sadly, it often doesn’t. Zoe’s answer to this is to blame your phone, even if it meets what they say you need. When you update your OS, then you are told over and over to delete the app and reinstall it. Which also doesn’t fix it. It drops entered data, the scan function freezes, and generally has quality control issues, particularly in recipes. The information may be good, but it would be better if the app worked reliably.

If you are one of those magical people who is either blood sugar sensitive or blood fat sensitive, then perhaps this is a useful app. Since I turned out to be neither, this seems like a waste of time and money. The only advice I get from my customized report (which, by the way, is mostly standardized- there are only a few pages in their 80something page deck that are about YOU), was to eat more plants. Cool. On the app, you can only see your macros breakdown by day and by meal. If you had a very carb heavy breakfast, there is NO WAY to see how many carbs came from your bread Vs your Google. No way. If you tap on an individual item, it tells you how many carbs are per 100 calories of that food item. So, it’s simple algebra from there, right? Except you don’t know how many calories are in each food, so there’s no way of calculating. I’m amazed at how something so simple hasn’t changed in the months since I downloaded this, went on a frustrated hiatus, and tried to use it again. Eat more plants! Surprise surprise!

This is a first class product. The science is solid, the execution is amazing, the app beautifully designed, and the customer support responsive and helpful. I think some of the reviews about the app not working well must be from previous versions, because my experience with the app has been outstanding. I highly recommend this product.

Zoe is leading the transformation away from the outdated and largely unhelpful traditional understanding of nutritional science. Stop focusing on macros and counting calories and find out what is the right food for YOU! What’s right and healthy for me may not be for you. This team is using the best science to help each person discover food that builds a healthy microbiome and best regulated blood sugar for them. App and tests are easy to use and easy to digest (😉) education along the way. This is the nutrition science of the future and I’m optimistic it will change the whole diet paradigm. If you are looking for a deeper dive on concepts, also recommend Tim Spector’s “Spoon Fed” book.

Zoe is an amazing application it’s so user-friendly and using it I have been able to eat as much as I want unrestricted foods and have personal challenges daily of keeping my score high through different food combinations but not restricting the foods I like it.I have also ventured into new recipes and different types of foods which makes eating a more enjoyable experience. It is personal to your own physiology and that’s specifically tailored to you so it works fot you. I have tried many other diet regimes over the years , but they’re always restricting this and that. This is more creative, personal to you, and nonrestrictive. I personally recommend it for everyone-:)
