Very helpful! Rated 4 out of 5 stars

I have been using Ascendo Fitness for about a month now. I had a technical problem, but received very prompt assistance from Ascendo. I only gave it 4 stars since I feel there is room for improvement with respect to the desktop portion of the software and more comprehensive user manual. The act of adding new food products is a bit confusing, requiring each item to be set at 100 grams to comply with USDA standards. Once I figured out how to do this effectively, it has become quite easy to add new food items. Just the process of looking items up on the internet (like a Starbucks Skim Chai or a Burger King Bacon Double Cheeseburger) has helped me make better food choices. While I feel these improvements would make this product even more powerful, I am VERY satisfied with the Ascendo Fitness program as it is, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable means to help with their fitness and dietary program. I hope that Ascendo continues to wrok on increasing their nutrition database and improving the product, but by all means give it a shot. I hope you find it as helpful as I have.
MIssing Basic Data Rated 1 out of 5 stars
by Leslianne   from Washington, DC

I've had this for about a month now and am still wondering why people find it so helpful. The first day I entered information, the items I entered were not in the database. How can a database that has been around for any amount of time not have the energy informatoin for Pilates or the elliptical trainer? Yes, I can create my own entries, but if I have to do the research myself, why would I spend $35 for a program?
Great piece of software Rated 4 out of 5 stars
by Deb H   from Salina, Ks

I love this program. It is convenient and does what it claims to do. I wanted a program to help me to keep track of calories in, calories out and my weight. The desktop part of the program is a waste and I quickly deleted it, but the main program works like a charm. Warning: you will lose any of your custom food/exercise entries if you update your BB software (that is why I took one star away in my overall rating) I wished I had kept a paper and pencil copy when I saw that they were all gone (I have one now)
