Absolutely hate the new app. Takes too long to find my old stored recipes and still can’t find all the individual foods I stored.
In response to your reply which states all my recipes and saved food are available, your are incorrect- yes, I have now found my saved recipes. However when I click on my foods, it states I have no saved foods, when in fact I had a large number of saved foods on my old app. Therefore I still remain very unhappy.

Be very careful with their auto-renewal policy. I did not find the service any better than common sense advice on diet.
I mistakenly did not cancel after the year was up (I was moving house) and Zoe refused to let me get out of paying for another year for a service I don't even use.
The law will change in 2027 requiring companies to have a better reminder process. What a shame that Zoe is sticking to what is widely seen as unfair practice.
**Update**
The company has now reviewed my case and agreed to refund me. I have added a star as a result. I am pleased they have finally listened but it should not have been so hard. The power of Trustpilot?
Reply from ZOE2026-07-30
Hi Alison,
Thank you for this feedback. We completely understand it can be disappointing when a refund or early cancellation isn't possible. However our terms specify the membership is unable to be canceled mid cycle and we sent a renewal reminder email a few weeks before the renewal.
If you need any further assistance with our membership terms, please reach back out to us.

Loved the lab work not the operating system of the company
Loved the lab work ! Did there app and coaching for a year. Only needed it for a few months but was locked into a year. Very predatory on their renewal software. They won’t cancel it. I had to report it to my credit card as fraud. They automatically renew you in to a year contract. They talk in circles and don’t do what they say. Few days to cancel it and then they lock you in. Very unhelpful … I explained the situation and they ingnored my cancellation and just keep on billing.wont use them again based on this. Took them two months to get me my testing and another month for the results. Very long wait.

Cancelled at the weekend as did not want to continue subscription due to not being able to stomach the product. I had delayed the delivery as was persisting to see if I could handle the stomach pains. I then saw £133 appear on my card with no email from Zoe to advise of this. I immediately contact Zoe and submitted the cancellation again.
2 days later they replied saying there was nothing they could do & no cancellation request was received at the weekend. Also that they cannot refund or accept a refund
So 4 bags of a product I cannot use will arrive at a cost of £133.
Beware if you take the trial that you need to cancel and ensure this has been processed

Hi Michelle,
Thanks for taking the time to share your experience. We understand your frustrations here as you believed to have everything on your end to stop the reoccurring charges. Our terms specifically state the subscription must be canceled before the date of the next renewal and no return/refunds on renewal orders.
These terms are presented clearly during the sign-up process to ensure transparency before purchase.
If you need any further assistance please reach back out to us.

Customer care/ Zoe subscription…
Customer care/ Zoe subscription related.
AI nonsense throughout dealings. At times, even makes out to be a human being and ‘head of the team’. At the very end of each email/ messages, it clarifies that the answer is AI generated.
Answers don’t stay on a thread and are all over the show/ chaotic - far harder to achieve what is needed than it should be.

Spent a lot of money on products for which allergens were inadequately signposted/ NOT signposted on the website . They are unusable for myself and potentially fatal . Fortunately I checked a bar before consuming . Because the boxes were opened , I’m told that they can’t be refunded. One item can be refunded, but I’m told that postage will be deducted! Really poor customer service.

Attentive customer service but disappointing changes to the original app subscription
Had an issue with viewing my account details and therefore a query over whether I should still be paying for a subscription. The team acknowledged my initial query very quickly (possibly an A.I. response but reassuring nevertheless) after 48 hrs a comprehensive explanation of my subscription was received. So the team are responsive to issues. Overall I would
Comment that the app has changed considerably since I first subscribed and I haven’t used it for several months as I felt the quality of the content was disappointing ie less recipes, previous saved content, statistics disappearing and the use of A.I. tools instead of entering specific macros.
