The question about iTrackBites (and other apps that use the old WW plans and track them for you) comes up frequently here and has for years. Now we have our very own iTrackBites Coach here, our beloved reneinitaly! So if you have any questions on how the app works, ask away.

reneinitaly, Thanks for answering questions here. These are mine: 1. The website says the community forum is available for free, but as a user of the free app, I don't have access to it. Is the website incorrect, or am I reading it incorrectly? 2. Will the upgrade be for the free version as well as for the Pro version? I've been doing great with the free version so far.

susan092907 there were some pretty heavy spamming problems on the community forum. You can access and read with free, but to post you need to be Pro. Yes, the upgrade will be available for the free version. Free will also include backup and sync Yay!! Pro will include * recipe builder * macro and calorie tracking ( while using program other than calories like smart, plus) * Fitbit and soon to be apple watch tracking * restaurant/snack/beer guides * online database * exporting logs I am glad you are doing well with it!

I am not a coach on itrackbites but just to let you know it's not just for the older programs.You can also do freestyle(known as flex there)with the Pro Version which is still cheaper yearly than WW is per month especially if you are doing online only.So for online only members you can choose from any of the programs.I was lucky enough to get in on the $12/yr plan but I do know it's like $36/yr now but like I said online members cannot do WW that cheaply. Congratulations reneinitaly for becoming a coach. Questions from me: 1. Do they ever plan to do a workaround for simply filling members like WW used to have or will everyone still have to know which foods are sf or not? 2.Any plans from ITB to divide foods into different meals with the new update? Thanks.

borntexan,- there is no " official SF" option, but there is a workaround. I added a food I created for the 26 points ( I follow Plus) , then knowing what is and isn't on the NCFL, I either only track non SF foods, or I track everything and just toggle the fruit button ( now with be a 0 bites food button) and Yes,,, we will have meals separated. I am now testing the beta apple should be out soon, as soon as we get the kinks out, and android soon afterwards

reneinitaly, glad you're involved with ITB. If you get the opportunity to express feedback, I'd like them to know that some of us (i.e., ME) won't upgrade to the Pro version so long as it is a subscription. The subscription model has become epidemic, epecially in the U.S., and so many developers and companies are acting like everyone is paying with Monopoly money—i.e., like everyone has unlimited funds. If I had to pay a $3 monthly subscription for every app I use (both on the phone and on the computer), I'd be spending well over $1K per month. Once this movememnt got rolling, I finally had to draw the line and stop using software that will not allow me to purchase a license outright. In the case of ITB, I'd gladly pay a one-time fee (reasonable) to have access until a major version upgrade came along.

reneinitaly, Thanks for your answer. The option of getting calorie and macro counting along with plus tracking is enticing. But I agree with zazzles, I don't like the subscription model. It's way to easy to lose track of where my money goes.

right now I am doing the free version b/c I"m still paying WW. I am free from them I think in Dec. when I will cancel my online membership and am thinking of doing the monthly for itrackbites. Question: is the food database limited for the free version? I can't find some things and have to go to the WW app to find points. Will the database expand for me once I upgrade to the pro version?
last: how easy/hard is it to cancel the monthly for itrackbites if I decide to down the road?

You can use the app completely free with the older programs and limited database search or currently Pro is charged ANNUALLY. The monthly figure is to show you the breakdown of cost only.
Normal price for US members is $59.99/yr but it is currently 40% off at $35.99.
Refunds are given if something is not right, or not working for you. I personally, in all apps, turn off the automatic renewal option and set the date a few weeks before on my calendar.
They are really working hard to make the program better, and are listening to suggestions. Almost all of the new functions are from user input .

Do you think that Itrack bites might consider adding the old WW selections plan as a plan they support on their app ?

Peaceful, I don't think they would add any older programs than the classic ( which is the old momentum plan) T

reneinitaly, I had a very strange thing happen today, that's never happened before. I put something in and the points said 10, and I hit the track button and went to look at my day and it said 11! I went back and did the same thing again, to see if I remembered it wrong, and it said, 10, and the log page showed 11! Never had the points in the date figuring page not match what it put on my log!
