Buggy app
I use it and basically like it. I wish it tracked fiber. I find it difficult to track meals because the app wants to add in previous meals. Also there are factors other than diet that affect one's metabolism. I'd like a way to track those things, too. I know what I ate, what my stress levels are, etc., so I can make some adjustments based on that. I just wish those things were easier to do within the app.

I was interested in getting this product but the company provides very little specific information about the numbers this provides, pics on the website are too blurry to read. Downloaded the app hoping to see info provided with no luck. App also is tedious and labor intensive to set up. There's no typing on a keyboard, you have to scroll through numbers to get to what you want.

Total Gimmick don’t by this product in the uk
The sensor works but logging of your food is so bad the whole concept is pointless. The scan feature is not functional if you search for a specific product it's not in the data base. All of this functionality is an any free calorie counting app. So the benefits of measuring your metabolism is pointless because of the inaccurate of the macro recording. It's a shame because if this was fixed the product would be good. I have raised the issue with lumen they have offered one free month. I'm paying 20 pounds a month for something that has worse functionality than a free app.

Ever since the update in April, my measurements in the morning have been 4 or 5 (they used to be 1 or 2 - so this is a drastic change.) I was told the algorithm had been modified and needed to relearn my normal baseline. I've taken measurements after eating amd after exercise as directed, but the app is not learning. Using Lumen is becoming pointless. Avoid buying until this is resolved. Edit: this morning I had a 4 and after an additional 6hours of fasting (18 in total,) my score was a 5.

Honestly at this point I think this company and product are scammers. I never ever got any reading different from 3. When I try to cancel I get an error message. Doesn't matter what I do they continue to bill me.} I try to reach to chat and I don't get any satisfying response.

Good overall but MAJOR FLAW
My one complaint is that the food tracking is very subpar. There are free trackers like fat secret that work way better and have way more foods in their data base. Tracking my food with lumen is a pain since I'm constantly getting “item not found” whenever I scan a barcode of a food. It's very annoying. And searching for a food in the search bar doesn't yield great results either a lot of the time. And if you do find the food item, a lot of times the macros will not be the same as what's listed on the box whenever you choose the serving you are eating. Not sure how they can expect people to pay for a subscription when there's free options that work better. Please fix the food tracker! It would make the app perfect.

Potential App Improvements
When I first got my Lumen, there was a moment when I could swear the app asked me if I wanted to assign multiple meanings to a single breath. I must have dreamed it, because I can't find it now, nor can I find any sign of it in the Help. I'd appreciate that feature though. Examples: 1) I take a fasting breath and realize I need to end my fast. This is now a pre-meal breath, as well. 2) Or if I ate right before a workout, then that would make the Pre-workout also a Pre-meal breath. Same for Post. 3) And one time I accidentally hit Pre-meal when I meant to say Post-meal. I didn't realize it until later and there was no way to edit the label to correct it. In regards to food entry, I don't like that I can't specify what constitutes a serving when entering custom food items. I mean, I can enter it in grams or milliliters, but I can't list the amount in Tablespoons or Cups. Some of us don't think in metric. This means that I have to refer back to the bottle to verify how much of a condiment I'm allowed to have, OR write the amount in the item name. I haven't been using Lumen long, so I don't know if it's working for me yet. I haven't developed any new healthy habits so far, but it's early days. I DO like that I have a better sense of when to stop fasting. I tried intermittent fasting last year. It was wildly successful for about 2 months, then I just felt sick all the time and stopped losing weight. Now, I'm focused on what my metabolism is doing, rather than just watching the clock. *fingers crossed* We'll see if this works better.

Nutritional tracker is lacking
I don't know why, but foods that previously scanned are no longer listed. It makes it hard to follow the guidance if you can't pull in the nutrition labeled information easily. Very disappointed with this piece.

My biggest beef is it not able to link to Fitbit...so it doesn't collect that data.....same with food tracking...let me link it to a better app that can find all my food. If those improvements can happen....I would rate it higher.
