Beyond Body

BEWARE! If you think you have set up your account to not auto renew, take screenshots to document it. Beyond Body doesn't issue renewal notifications like reputable businesses do. I tried working with them in good faith to cancel and get refunds because I have clearly not used their apps in months, but they don't care. Also note that promo subscriptions to other services have to be managed through Beyond Body, not the other app, such as Kure. I was charged for 2 apps I don't use. Stay away!

I'd give a negative star, if it was possible. This is a scam. The cost to get groceries to follow the plan is insane. When I signed up, it said I could cancel after the 6 months without a fee. I am coming up to that mark and now it's saying if I cancel prior to the SECOND CHARGE I have to pay a fee to cover the "free extras". That is not what the cancelation policy said at the time of purchase. DO NOT PAY FOR A SUBSCRIPTION!!

The App doesn't really work. It wouldn't let me sign in most of the time. However support was responsive and when none of fixes worked they did refund my money. I lowered the score. They did refund but will not remove my credit card and keep trying to charge it. I have had to call my credit card every few months to explain why. They are a scam. Do not buy!!!

I signed up for an ebook for $55.78 in March & had issues accessing the app despite requesting password resets. I forgot about the account after not receiving a reset email until I was charged $83.97 for 6 more months. I emailed customer service for help. They replied with irrelevant information, issued a partial refund of $20.99, and canceled my account without my request. The book is interesting, but the company feels like a scam.

Buyer Beware - they add on additional hidden subscriptions without your notice and just randomly charge you. Apparently they have a second app that is tied to this one and when you subscribe they automatically give you a free trial subscription into that one too and don't give you notice and then charge you for renewing. I was charged less than 5 days ago in my PayPal when and requested a refund after being charged nearly $100 and another for over $50. They offered about $25 back. SCAM

They claim to have fasting recommendations, easy to follow dietary needs, etc. IF you last through the twenty pages of "don't you want to add this for another $20/$30?" you end up with just another tracking app. The fasting? You decide. There are no recommendations. They just have a list you can choose how long you want to fast for. I can do that without paying someone. Oh, it does let you log your weight/water. And they give you recipe ideas you can get anywhere. Don't waste your money or time.

I really like the app. It has a lot of recipes to choose from. i just wish that I could omit certain things from recipes Because if you select the recipe, then those calories are included in your total And you can't change it. so that means your calorie intake is wrong. (or if you swap one ingredient out for another.) so I use a different app that I can enter all of my foods in that I actually put in the recipe. it would also change your shopping list.

I would like to give it 3.5 honestly but that's not possible so I'll go with 3. PROS It's easy to follow, and the menu plans are simple & quick. CONS It would be nice to be able to add items because let's be real..... nobody follows it perfect all the time. I can't even add in the tea I drank each day so kind of frustrating. So until they can fix that I'm inputting my stuff into the app I was using before so that my food intake is accurate....100% and I'll likely not continue the app.

I had a little trouble setting up the step counter to pull my info, their help files even apologized to Fitbit users. Actually the problem was resolved by changing settings in Health Connect and my Fitbit app, there was no problem with Beyond Body at all! Having done all that, I am now enjoying the program and getting good results. The recipe database is enormous and ranges from the familiar to very quirky, and all delicious. If you don't like their first suggested recipe, dozens more await!

Do not believe the false advertising. The book is not free, but discounted. The e-book is free unless you cancel the app, then they will charge you for half the price of the e- book. I never got a physical book at all, and was charged half- price for the e-book when I canceled the app subscription, which is expensive.

Beyond Body is a helpful app for tracking meals, workouts, and overall wellness progress. The personalized plans are a nice touch, and the interface is easy to navigate. It works well for staying motivated and organized, though there’s still room for improvement in some features. Overall, it’s a good app for anyone looking to support their health and fitness goals.

The app itself contains a glitch that changes my goal weight higher instead of lower. I make my adjustments to meals but when i generate the shopping list, it doesn't register the changes. My biggest gripe is that you can't add a meal. If i eat out, i can't add that meal or ANY meal not in the plan -sucks for real calorie tracking. I do brag on the app, though. I love the specific meals and how to prepare them and the workout setup. The instructions are all clear, concise and easy to follow.

The workout tracker doesn't work correctly. The way it is set up, you have to go through the warm up, workout and cool down 3 times. Or waste time skipping all of the warm ups and cool downs just to get back to the workouy. That doesn't make sense. I have tried skipping them but then it doesn't track all 3 rounds of the workout. You can't manually add workouts or sync to a FitBit. You can't miss a tracking day or you are SOL. Don't waste your money on this if you buy the book.

***Updating to add that after reaching out to the company, they remedied the situation by canceling my subscription early. The purchase process is completely misleading. If you sign up for the 6-month subscription, you are required to pay for at least 1 more renewal cycle you are able to cancel, unless you pay the difference between the one-time fee and the 6-month subscription, so either way, you're paying the full amount. App is terrible, resets each month. Book is worthless.

I like the setup of this app. The menu options are pretty good. However, it would be more helpful and help you track better if you could edit it. I often don't have or don't like a part of the recipe, and I use a substitute. unless you use Samsung Health to track, there's no way to enter your sleep, steps, or any additional exercises. if they could update it to be a more accurate food, health tracking app, it would be great.

I fell for the pretty book with my name on it. It's not worth the price. They are not honest in their marketing. This app costs over $80 per quarter, and you only get a meal plan and tracker. The exercise plan is extra. Also, you can't cancel it until you've paid two $80+ payments plus the initial amount you pay when first subscribing. It is NOT $24.99/month as advertised. There are much better apps out there. Keep looking.

It's helpful having meals planned out for you. I still have to use the book for the recipes though. When I tried syncing the app to my book, the proportions were not also synced. For example, the app said to make 1 whole cup of rice for one stir-fry meal, where in the book I'm actually supposed to make 5 tbsp, which makes more sense. Do NOT follow the app for proportions!

Recipes are unappealing, app doesn't allow for filtering of ingredients. You can tell it you don't want recipes for certain things, and it will still be most of the options for replacement recipes. If you try to make sure your selections are in your survey, it clears out all selections you have already made, and you have to start over. If you decide you don't want to do this, it is an additional fee to cancel it unless you let it charge you for an additional time on your sub. Total rip off.

While the app has lots of recipes, there is no flexibility. I can't enter any foods that are eaten "off plan" or that aren't preloaded into the app. I can't adjust my water goal, which was set way lower than I have always thought it should be. Beverages other than water cannot be entered. Just tried to cancel after having the app for 48 hours and there is a $69 early cancelation fee.

Great meal suggestions and calorie counter. Good for keeping track of water intake and weight. It even allows for more specific food choices if desired. For instance, if you do not like mushrooms or bananas, you can go to the settings menu under your meals. Select change parameters and say which veggies, fruits, and foods you do not like, and it will adjust your meal plan. It's a really great app they even provide recipes for the meals. It's super convenient.
