Frequently asked

Is Mealgram free?

Yes. The basic version of Mealgram is fully free β€” meal logging, calorie tracking, macros, water, achievements, streaks. Premium ($3.99/month or 199 PLN/year with a 7-day free trial) unlocks weight goal tracking, daily AI summaries, full history export and unlimited scans.

How does photo scanning work?

Tap the camera icon in "+Add" β†’ point the camera at your full plate β†’ AI recognises the items in 5-10 seconds.

Best results: good lighting, plate centred in frame, portion proportions visible (cutlery in shot helps).

Does Mealgram work offline?

Yes β€” all core features work without internet: manual logging, barcode scanner, Quick DB (160+ Polish dishes), widgets, Apple Watch.

Internet is only needed for: AI photo scanning (Gemini), Open Food Facts (barcodes), iCloud sync between devices.

How do I sync data between iPhone and iPad?

Mealgram uses iCloud Drive. Check:

  • Both devices signed in to the same Apple ID
  • iCloud Drive enabled: Settings β†’ [Your name] β†’ iCloud β†’ iCloud Drive
  • Mealgram is toggled on under "Apps using iCloud"

First sync can take 30-60 seconds. Data converges automatically β€” no manual step needed.

How do I change the app language?

In the app: Profile β†’ βš™οΈ Settings β†’ App language β€” choose Polski / English / Π£ΠΊΡ€Π°Ρ—Π½ΡΡŒΠΊΠ° / Русский / EspaΓ±ol. The change applies instantly, no restart needed.

Some system dialogs (e.g., camera permission prompts) will remain in the previous language until you restart your phone β€” this is an iOS limitation, not ours.

How do I cancel my Premium subscription?

Subscriptions are managed by Apple:

  • Open App Store β†’ profile icon β†’ Subscriptions
  • Select Mealgram Premium
  • Tap Cancel Subscription

Premium stays active until the end of your paid period. No retention dark patterns, no 5-screen confirmation maze β€” Apple designed this properly.

How do I delete my account and all data?

In the app: Profile β†’ βš™οΈ Settings β†’ Account β†’ Delete account. This clears the local database + iCloud data (if any).

Alternative: just uninstall Mealgram β€” all local data is wiped by iOS, and you can remove iCloud data from Settings β†’ [Your name] β†’ iCloud β†’ Manage Storage β†’ Mealgram β†’ Delete.

Mealgram freezes / won't launch. What can I do?
  1. Force quit: swipe up from the gesture bar, close Mealgram
  2. Restart your iPhone (hold power + volume down β†’ slider)
  3. Uninstall and reinstall (local data is lost, iCloud restores after sign-in)
  4. Still crashing? Email hello@mealgram.xyz with your iPhone model + iOS version
Can I use Mealgram on iPad?

Yes β€” Mealgram is a universal app. Once installed on iPad, data syncs over iCloud so you pick up where you left off on iPhone. The layout adapts to the larger screen.

Apple Watch β€” how do I set it up?

After installing Mealgram on iPhone:

  1. Open the Watch app on your iPhone
  2. Scroll to Available Apps β†’ find Mealgram
  3. Tap Install

On the watch you'll see 3 colour rings (calories / protein / water) + a "+1 glass" button. Data syncs over WatchConnectivity.

My home-screen widget shows stale data

Widgets refresh roughly every 30 minutes per iOS policy. You can force a refresh:

  1. Open Mealgram and add a meal (or leave and come back β€” that triggers a refresh)
  2. Or: long-press the widget β†’ Edit Widget β†’ pick another and switch back
Does Mealgram share my data with dietitians / doctors?

Never. Your data stays only with you. But you can export it in readable formats:

  • Profile β†’ Your data β†’ Download JSON export β€” full history
  • Export CSV (Excel) β€” Excel-friendly, perfect for a dietitian
  • Full ZIP bundle β€” JSON + CSV + all meal photos

After downloading, you can send the file via email, AirDrop, or print it.

Suggestion / bug / request?

All ideas are welcome. The best path:

  • Email: hello@mealgram.xyz
  • Subject: "Suggestion: ..." or "Bug: ..."
  • If it's a bug β€” add a screenshot or short reproduction steps

Mealgram is built by a small independent team β€” your feedback goes directly to the people writing the code. No five layers of support.
