  Totally agree. Calorie counting and meal prepping takes a lot of effort. I don't like the idea to add a ton of popups which makes it even more difficult. Instead of few clicks it takes ton of effort to add ingredients and meals, because I have to close 2-3 popups after each ingredients when adding my breakfast.

  Second this. The new update annoys the hell out of me. I've been using Yazio for years as well, and the streak feature was a major annoyance already, now the popup right before it that displays analytics of what you added is MAJORLY throwing me off!
  
  Hear me out: I am not saying that you should throw away the popup. It may be useful for beginners. But let others decide to TURN THEM OFF! There is nothing like this to be found in the settings - EW!
  
  While I am at it since this is the first time that I write to Yazio: Please let us disable animations, or make them more snappy! As I said, I am using Yazio for years, and while on travels tracking on the fly is more than annoying than it could, because you have to WAIT for the SAME ANIMATION each time you track a quick ingredient.
  
  With the best intentions for a better UX for everyone,
  
  Christian

  Please please, remove this annoying pop-ups or allow the possibility to deactivate this feature.
  
  If you would use your own app everyday, then you would notice this problem by yourself...
  
  I don't know how long I will tolerate this.

  The really annoyed

  Get rid of every single pop up so that people can actually log their information without being interrupted by these useless things. And don’t just replace a dancing monster with a dancing fruit - get rid of that whole unnecessary pop up feature.

  Annoyed by pop-ups

  Hello everyone and yazio team. I love the app except for this feature. Please let us have the option to turn them off.
  
  I use it everyday but for me calorie tracking is already an additional thing I need to do to maintain/lose weight. Each time I log my food, having to click off summary, streak and what not pages puts me off of logging in my calories.
  
  With all the respect and love to the team for making this app I use almost every day.

  Diese Streaks und Erinnerungen sind einfach nur primitiv und lästig. Last den Teilnehmern das doch selbst entscheiden und bringt endlich eine Programmierung dafür. Kann mir nicht vorstellen das Ihr dazu nicht in der Lage seit. Jeder der schon länger dabei ist braucht sowas nicht!!!

  Please stop the straks and pop ups. Yazio was better in 2019
  
  I have been a paid member for years. I am satisfied but also have a complaint.
  
  Complaint 1:
  I do not want to keep a series every day. Can I turn this off somewhere? I find this so annoying and unnecessary.
  
  Complaint 2:
  if I have not logged in for a few days, I have to reset all my goals. While I am simply a member. I find it annoying and would like this to be fixed.

  Das Popup (deine Übersicht) nach dem Tracken ist sooo unnötig und nervig. Ich bin Pro User, lasst es uns bitte ausschalten. Ich habe schon eine alte App-Version installiert, aber so könnt ihr euch das ja auch nicht gedacht haben.

  PLEASE ADD A SETTING TO TURN THEM ALL OFF. If this does not stop it would lead me to switching to another app tbh. Calorie counting should be as fast and easy as possible. The Streak feature does not even work that well, i sometimes cook for days ahead and track everything upfront... which breaks my streak. I don't want to get through annoying pop-ups every time i just want to track calorie. If this feature is important for your business, please at least consider letting pro-users turn it off. It's such a unnecessary bummer!

  I am not using streaks, not motivating me to continue or to lose a streak, who cares.

  I've been subscribed to the app for 2 years, but I won’t renew it this year unless the streak feature is removed or can be turned off. Boring, exhausting, a waste of time.

  Yes, super annoying. I don't need streak pop-ups nor an "overview of my meal" pop-up after I only added one element. Just put an option in the settings to disable them (at least for paying users).

  Yes please let me disable it! It will not keep me in the app, in fact I canceled my subscription because constantly I lost my streak and got incredibly annoyed.

  I canceled my premium account because of this (for me) useless and annoying streak feature!

  This is just annoying as hell. Give us a legacy mode. I have stopped using the app because of this and would love to reuse it.

  Nothing changed so far, so I have canceled my subscription even though I really like the app. But all the changes introduced in the latest versions have ruined the user experience.

  TBH I think the best solution for that is that they add Siri Shortcuts back as u don’t even need to log in to add what u had but just saying Siri add and with templates on ur mobile desk u don’t even need to open the app cuz ur able to see the data all clear

  Hi Team, please add an option to disable all the popups and gamification mechanics. I simply want to count my calories, track my fasts, and compare with my wife. We both have a pro subscription and are willing to pay for the service.. but really... the waste of time clicking to your "adds" is... unschön.

  I've been using Yazio Pro for over two years, but these streaks and popups are now so annoying that they have the opposite effect on me than they probably should - instead of motivating me to continue tracking with Yazio, I feel increasingly bugged by the app.
  I've already evaluated several similar ones in the last few weeks (lifesum, fddb, my fitness pal) - if something doesn't happen soon, e.g. an option to turn off this annoying stuff, I'll switch to fddb, it's simple and clear.

  I've been using the Pro Version for several years now, but all these pop-ups, streaks, and new, playful, colorful icons like diamonds and flames are just getting annoying! I just want to track my meals, not be reminded and pushed every day.
  In fact, I'm seriously considering canceling my subscription because of this. These obsessive pop-ups are actually putting me off using the app. Please provide a way to turn this annoying 'features' off.

  Yes, the pop ups are super annoying. But for me, the worst thing is to be told I am “wrong” because I didn’t log for a couple of days (you lost your streak)… it’s very demotivating !! I know you are trying to “gamify” this, but it is too much!! A weight loss journey is hard enough to also being told I haven’t been good enough because I didn’t track in the weekend !!

  Whats a streak good for? Just to annoy me when i forget a day or two?
  
  AT LEAST give us an incentive...Like Extensions of subscription periods.

  Diese Menge an Pop Ups und kindischen bis lästigen Truhen und Streaks sind mehr als nervig. Insbesondre das zwischengeschaltete Beta-KI-Tool macht die Eingabe unerfreulich weniger komfortabel. Dont do it

  Unbelievably that there is still no setting to turn these animations/popups off.

  Gotta love how this has been major critique in the negative ratings in play store for over a year and they still have it labeled as 'not planned'.
  Guess I'll just go and get another app when the sub runs out
  (because obviously Yazio doesn't care about thousands of wishes by their customers! Geez)

  I'm with the other speakers on this one.
  I've since canceled my subscription because it's frustrating having to wait for the streak pop-up to finish or constantly clicking away. I don't want to play a game, I want to track my food. I don't need any fancy gamification, streaks, or fonts and font sizes for that.
  Hey, just go back to your roots, okay?
  
  P.S. The new app logo made me think of this comment. It makes me think that a character is giving me the eye in a weird way or is trying to make me remember to count my calories in a not-so-subtle way. The old logo was neutral and minimalistic, but this one is childish and overly gamified.
  
  I'm going to look for other options.
  Cheers Dennis

  Bitte schaffen Sie die Möglichkeit, dass man Streaks und Pop-UPS abwählen kann. Das demotivierende Infantilisierung und wirklich nicht angemessen für eine GesundheitsApp.

  The gamification in the Zazio app is really annoying. It doesn’t make the app more fun, it just gets in the way. I just want to manage my things, not deal with badges and progress bars. The food tips also don’t need to pop up all the time, once a day would be enough. Overall it starts to feel like cheap ads in a free version, and it just makes the app more stressful than it should be.

  Yes please. For now, I'm cancelling my subscription renewal because of these. I haven't found a better app yet but I am looking. I cannot open the app without distracting popups and animations. And there are multiple popups and annoyances to click away after each tracked meal. The worst is the meteor animation on the streak mascot, it's long, boring, and cannot be skipped. Imagine logging your meal, clicking done, remembering you forgot something, then having to watch a long animation and 4 popups, instead of being able to quickly go back to add more. Absolute disrespect of your paid users' time.

  I loved the old Yazio with the apple logo and with a really fast interaction. I really hate this new Yazio and who decided to introduce this new logo, the Yeti, the advices, and all this really useless stuff. Everything sucks now and I think I will substitute your app with something else at the and of the premium subscription.

  Come here to use a very good app, pay for it, only for the app to add things that make you wanna delete it...
  
  What kind of development is this? Why add intrusive things that take more of my time than actually logging the food and using the app the normal way.
  
  You are on the right track to speedrun "lose as many customers as possible" without even trying..

  Popups just irritates me. I really consider the idea of changing the application to another one. It does not support Ukrainian lnguage and now has tons of popups - two huge cons in the list.

  How this can be flagged as „not planned“ is mindbaffling to me. So disrespectful to the wishes of your longtime users.
