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?

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 βοΈ Settings β App language β choose Polski / English / Π£ΠΊΡΠ°ΡΠ½ΡΡΠΊΠ° / Π ΡΡΡΠΊΠΈΠΉ / 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 βοΈ 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?
- Force quit: swipe up from the gesture bar, close Mealgram
- Restart your iPhone (hold power + volume down β slider)
- Uninstall and reinstall (local data is lost, iCloud restores after sign-in)
- 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:
- Open the Watch app on your iPhone
- Scroll to Available Apps β find Mealgram
- 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:
- Open Mealgram and add a meal (or leave and come back β that triggers a refresh)
- Or: long-press the widget β Edit Widget β pick another and switch back
Does Mealgram share my data with dietitians / doctors?
