Ratings and reviews

I've been using Lark for a while, and while it’s helpful, there are some areas for improvement. The AI's responses are predictable when entering information, and it doesn't allow responses in my own words, which is frustrating. Adding a barcode scanning feature for food entries would enhance accuracy and convenience, as the AI's guesses are often inaccurate. Additionally, the ability to edit information immediately after entering it, similar to Fitbit, would greatly improve the user experience.

I am happy with this app, however there a few things that could use some tweaking. For instance, the only health tracker it seems to sync to is Fitbit. I do not use a fitbit, nor am I going to purchase one. I have a Galaxy Frontier 5 watch. I even downloaded the Google health app and attempted to sync it to the lark app, with no results. I have to manually input my sleep and exercise, which with my memory, is inaccurate. The meal tracker needs to be less generic in the input ability.

So far, this is working well. It's encouraging and educational without being judgemental. Some might not like the AI, but I do. I do wish that I could use MyfitnessPal or Fitbit to scan barcodes on the food and drink I have. There's no way to make the app know exactly what I'm eating. It also doesn't automatically pull my sleep times from my Fitbit. The scale they sent is easy to use, but keep an eye on your app so you can delete other's results if they just jump on (kids).
