Meedo Terms of Use

Last updated: October 2026

1. About these terms

These terms are an agreement between you and the developer of Meedo ("the app"). By downloading, installing or using the app you agree to them.

2. Licence

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable licence to use the app on Apple devices you own or control, subject to the App Store Terms of Service.

3. Signing in and your account

Signing in with Apple is optional, but recognition, barcode lookup and Meedo Pro need an account. One Apple ID is one Meedo account.

Buy Pro with the same Apple ID you sign in with. Each purchase is tied to that account.

Settings → Sign out ends the session on this device. Settings → Delete account closes the account on our servers and removes this device's records and their iCloud copies.

4. Subscriptions and payment

• Some features require a Meedo Pro subscription. The plans and prices shown in the app are billed by the App Store.
• Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
• The renewal is charged to your Apple account within 24 hours before the current period ends.
• You can manage or cancel a subscription in your App Store account settings. Cancelling does not refund the current period, which stays active until it ends.
• Refunds are handled by Apple under its policy; we cannot issue them directly.
• Purchases made earlier can be recovered with Restore purchase, on any device signed in with the same Apple ID.

5. Free days and daily limits

• Recognition — a photo or a typed description counts as one recognition. The allowance is 3 a day.
• Meedo Pro — 30 recognitions a day.
• Barcode lookups do not count against either allowance.
• Free days — recognition and barcode lookup work on the day you first sign in and for the next 3 days, four calendar days in all. After that they stop until you subscribe; everything you have already logged stays readable and editable, and you can keep logging by hand.
• The day turns over at midnight in the timezone your device is set to.
• A failure on our side gives the count back. A request that comes back with no recognisable food in it still uses one.

6. Accuracy and content

• Food recognition and nutrition estimates are produced by a recognition service and may be wrong — the dish, the portion and the weight are all guesses about a photo. They are for everyday guidance only.
• A barcode lookup returns the figures the manufacturer published for that package, which may be out of date if the recipe or the pack size changed.
• The app does not provide medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Calorie, weight and BMI figures are estimates and are no substitute for a doctor or registered dietitian.
• If you have an eating disorder, a chronic condition, are pregnant, or otherwise have health concerns, talk to a professional before using the app.

7. Services the app uses

Recognition sends your photo or text to a recognition service so the meal can be estimated, and barcode lookups are answered for you. Apple provides the account, App Store billing and iCloud. Do not upload content about other people that you have no right to share.

8. Acceptable use

You agree not to reverse engineer the app, circumvent payment or usage limits, send automated bulk requests, upload unlawful or malicious content, or interfere with the app's normal operation.

9. Data, backups and iCloud sync

Your records are stored on your device and, because iCloud sync is on by default, in your iCloud under your Apple ID. Deleting the app removes the copy on the device; reinstalling and signing in with the same Apple ID brings the records back from iCloud if sync was on. Turning sync off stops new changes from reaching iCloud but does not delete what is already there — Settings → Delete all entries does, together with the copy on the device.

Keep your own backups (an iPhone backup, or the share sheet if you want a copy of a day as a picture). We are not responsible for data loss caused by iCloud failures, account issues or user error.

10. Availability and changes to the service

Recognition, barcode lookup and Meedo Pro need a network connection. We may change, add or discontinue features; if we retire one that needed an account, we will say so on this page and in what's new for the update before it stops working for you.

11. Disclaimer and limitation of liability

The app is provided "as is". To the fullest extent permitted by law we are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential loss arising from the use of, or inability to use, the app — including lost data, incorrect estimates, or lost profits. The app is not a medical device and is not intended to diagnose or treat anything.

12. Changes and termination

We may update these terms; material changes will be described on this page and in what's new for the update that brings them. If you do not agree, stop using the app. You may end this agreement at any time by deleting the app.

13. Governing law

These terms are subject to the mandatory consumer protection laws of your country of residence, which nothing here excludes.
