superbe appli
L’application est vraiment super et bien pensée, autant pour les apports que les objectifs, les aides, les quizz etc. Le seul truc qui pourrait changer est de rendre la rentrée de poids facultative puisque le mieux est de ne pas se peser en guérison de tca, c’est le seul truc « moins bien » de cet appli. sinon vraiment le concept est super et ça aide vraiment !
Ne fonctionne plus correctement
Depuis les dernières mises à jour, l’application ne fonctionne plus du tout correctement; pour le récapitulatif des familles d’aliments sur la journée, cela ne compte plus du tout correctement! C’est tellement y dommage car ça marchait très bien avant
Bien mais
L’appli est chouette mais je trouve que le système de portions est assez compliqué à comprendre (doigt, paume de main etc) et pour moi c’est ce qui me freine sur cette application. Autrement l’idée est géniale et si ce problème n’était pas là je pourrais l’utiliser au quotidien
Révoltant
Je trouve que cette application aide plus à faire un régime alimentaire que combattre l’anorexie ou/et la boulimie
Pas adapté pour des personnes qui sont sujettes à de l’hyperphagie.
Je ne trouve pas qu’elle soit bien ajusté à des personnes souffrants d’hyperphagie. Les propositions suggérées relèvent davantage de comportements anorexique. elle convient mieux à des personnes souffrants d’anorexie.
Thank you blue buddy
I really liked using this app I don’t know why I deleted it while I still suffer from anorexia, it helped me eat more and be able to walk without getting tired, no longer be cold and low on energy.
Harmful information - encourages weight fixation
I downloaded this app and it soon requested that I enter my height and weight. Upon doing so, it calculated my BMI and told me the number. It then told me that I need to see a specialist as soon as possible, as my BMI is technically obese. This is very harmful as someone who has previously struggled with anorexia, as I regained weight so despite being overweight, this weight is healthiest for me. If I still had a bad mindset, this likely would've been very triggering for me to know my BMI as that number was something I fixated on when I was actively anorexic. This app is encouraging fixation on weight rather than fixation on recovery.
Une suggestion
Bonjour Je me disais qu’il pourrait être intéressant d’élargir la fenêtre sur comment on se sent, comme le fait d’ajouter un onglet où il serait possible d’écrire certaines émotions fortes ou événements de notre journée car cela pourrait aider à prendre du recul sur une crise que l’on a fait par exemple À bientôt
No english
I cannot change language from french to english
Good
It’s a good app. I enjoy the clean format. For those wondering you can put the weight by tapping the little settings icon. One thing I don’t like is that some things are in French even though Je parle Anglaise most of the time.
Enregistrement audio
Bonjour, les enregistrements audio ne fonctionnent plus. Ils sont pourtant essentiels se calmer plus facilement… pouvez vous réparer ce bug? Merci beaucoup par avance
Triggering
The app asks for weight and calculates BMI. After which will say where you are on that scale. Very triggering for people who deal with an eating disorder
Super, mais...
Vraiment une application géniale! Cependant, il faudrait peut être ajouter une fenêtre avec le poids ? Pour voir comment notre poids évolue grâce à l’application! Merci pour tout :)
Has potential but…
This app has a lot of potential, but one big flaw that has me knocking 2 stars: the fact that it asks you about weight. Eating disorders aren’t weight disorders! I can understand that for some people gaining weight is part of recovery but the person with the ed shouldn’t be the one tracking it. I also knocked one star for having food diary as the first thing you see when you open the app. I would rather see the resources or goals section first, it would make it much more recovery focused. All in all not a bad app but it still needs work. I’m not deleting it the hope that updates will make it more recovery-friendly, but I’m also not going to be using it at the moment.
Bug régulier
J’ai installé l’application il y a deux jours, et depuis hier, impossible d’accéder à mon bilan alimentaire. Dès que je clique pour y accéder, l’application se ferme. C’est dommage. Mais sinon, l’idée est vraiment très bonne. J’ai hâte que ce problème soit réglé.
Merci :)
Je viens d’installer l’application, et je sais que ça n’en a pas forcément l’air, mais rien que cette démarche est une avancée pour moi. Je souhaite alors remercier les personnes derrière cette application pleine de bienveillance, et j’ai hâte de faire des progrès.
Made me feel worse
I had such high hopes for this app because I’ve been really struggling recently, it made me put in my height and weight and then said I was obese. I struggle with Anorexia, so not what I needed to see. Do not recommend, it made me more upset
Good idea
This seems like a really helpful app, however the BMI, hight, and, Weight numbers might be a trigger for some users.
Apple Watch
Pourriez vous rendre l’application compatible avec l’Apple Watch car Buffet m’aide énormément au quotidien mais je n’ai pas accès à mon téléphone à l’école et cela m’arrangerait de pouvoir gérer mon alimentation et mes crises avec ma montre. Merci 😊
Triggering App
I have a few pointers. BTW: I went through ED recovery 1. There are only 5 questions to dictate if you have an ED. ED are complicated and very individualized. 2. The app asks for your weight and then shows your BMI. I wasn’t able to enter mine because from treatment I’ve decided knowing my weight is too triggering. ED recovery is learning to listen to your body and mind and avoiding numbers.
Enregistrement audio
Bonjour Cette application est très bien par contre les enregistrements audio ne fonctionnent pas sur min iphone.
Aliments
Salut je voulais vous dire que j’adore votre application. Elle m’a permit de répondre à toute mes questions et aussi de m’aider quotidiennement🥰 Je voulais savoir si vous pourriez mettre dans la sélection d’aliment une icône con pourrait prénommer nous même parceque il y a beaucoup d’aliment ou repas que je mange régulièrement qu’il n’y a pas dans les choix.... je trouverai sa vraiment EXTRAORDINAIRE si cela ce réaliserai !!!!! MERCI encore pour cette MERVEILLEUSE application !!!!
First Impression
To make it clear, all I’ve done is set up an account. However, I feel strongly enough about the beginning questions to evaluate if you have an ED to make a review. There are five questions, and if you answer with less than two that fit their criteria for an ED, they tell you that you probably don’t have an ED. This is harmful - five questions don’t even cover the myriad of habits and feelings that can indicate even one common ED, like anorexia or bulimia. Another is the focus on being “thin” - there are at least two of those questions which are about weight. Yes, a lot of people with long term anorexia are scary thin - but not all of them. Not to mention, this is supposed to be for anorexia AND bulimia - bulimia is known to cause weight gain due to the constant fluctuations in food availability. Anorexia can too if the person is constantly battling the disordered behaviors and failing. Food insecurity can cause your body to cling to weight. Answering no to being too thin in these questions can lead to it saying you don’t have an ED - that’s dangerous. When you start evaluating people like that and saying “you probably don’t have an ED”, you’re risking turning them off treatment when they NEED it. Eating disorders can kill people - even someone who isn’t severely underweight. It’s SO dangerous the way they have phrased these questions, the lack of comprehensive questions, and the vague yes/no diagnosis at the end. Even the flippant message after you “fail” the test that you can still use the app and it has good resources would be enough to potentially shame someone into not getting help because they think they’re making a big deal of it. Another note, they include BMI in the app, and ask for your height and weight. I decided to try this app because apps like myfittnesspal use weight goals and track calories - numbers are a pretty common trigger for EDs, so I wanted to find an app that could identify problem behaviors by servings and habits rather than calories. Even the myfitnesspal message at the end of the day saying you can’t close your journal if you’re under 1200 calories can be enough to trigger my disordered thoughts and make me want to get that caloric number lower and lower and lower...apps specifically for eating disorders should avoid including things like this that are common triggers for EDs. That should be pretty obvious. I was really wanting to give this app a chance because of the food tracking system, but already it seems so bad. This seems like it was created by someone who didn’t bother to do any research on eating disorders and has just gone off the stereotypes of the scary skinny anorexic and the bulimic who frequently throws up and binges. Sorry if that’s not the case developer, but I think you really need to take a hard look at your app and see if it is helpful or harmful. Show it to a couple psychologists and doctors specializing in EDs and ask their opinions. Normally it doesn’t matter if an app doesn’t suit its purpose well, but when it’s regarding a medical situation that can be life and death, and seriously affects people’s lives, it shouldn’t be this poorly suited.
Super mais crash
l’appli est géniale mais crash quand je veux regarder mon bilan alimentaire du jour ..... elle se ferme d’un coup donc impossible de regarder mon bilan = angoissant :( pouvez vous essayer de fixer ce bug svp?
10/10
I love this because when i struggled with an eating disorder. i think the reason i struggled was because of how i could control what i ate and everything was perfect. well now instead of counting calories this app shows me balance, it shows me how much protein, carbs, and fats i need in a day. Does anyone know how to change the weight or height tho?
Triggering
I just downloaded it. I like the set up. But the BMI chart section is very triggering. I feel like I need to change that number now and use my eating disorder more. Not helpful. Going to delete now because I will obsess over that for sure.
Probleme avec les icônes depuis la MaJ
Bonjour, Cette application est bien mais depuis la MaJ les icônes sont coupées. Je ne peux pas utiliser l'application depuis car je ne vois pas quel aliment c'est. J'espère que vous allez régler ce problème. Merci beaucoup.
So amazing and easy
from someone who has bad food issues this app has: -an easy to use diary to track your meals -a list of things to do to distract yourself -a quiz on nutrition -a friendly mascot thing to help you feel less alone this app is amazing. thank you to the creators.
Dangerously bad
Triggering. BMI and Exchanges Focus.
Bonne applis
Je viens de la télécharger et elle est facile à utiliser. Le seul oublie qu’il y aurait c’est au niveau des protéines végétales qui ne sont pas suggérées. Si c’était possible de les rajouter. Merci d’avance !
first impression
so far, i like this app. it’s comforting. maybe because i like cute things, but it’s comforting. wish there was a way to change my weight though
Nul
Application pas du tout au point Contre productive Bref elle ne sert à rien
Bien... Si on a une bonne mémoire
L'application est super, a une condition: qu'on se souvienne de s'en servir. Le problème c'est que j'oublie souvent, et qu'on ne peut pas éditer les menus de la veille. J'aimerai pouvoir le faire, voire remplir la semaine précédente. Quand cette option existera, l'application méritera vraiment 5 étoiles.
My thoughts on this app
I love this app makes me feel like I have someone making sure I’m doing well and pushing me to do better it’s there for me and it’s helping me.
?
Pas pratique
Presque parfait
Cette application serait parfaite si on pouvait modifier nos menus de la veille, car souvent j’oublie d’écrire ce que j’ai mangé et ça compte comme si j’avais rien mangé...
