5 Star App
I love this app, I have type 1 diabetes and it makes tracking all my meals a breeze. I’m also training for a half marathon right now. Seeing how many calories I have left to use keeps my training schedule on track!
Good calorie database, awful as a weight loss tool
The user interface is terrible in every way. The weight chart doesn’t show numbers, you have no visuals to help you see where you are calorie-wise throughout the day, no pie chart for macronutrient consumed. The only good thing is the database, which is great and trustworthy. But any other weight loss app is better to manage intake.
Great App AND
This is a great app. I’ve been using it for years, so it’s easy to go back to especially because people seem to eat the same so your meals are already there. But something that would make it most excellent is if I could sync exercise apps, instead of having to do it manually. Thanks. 👌🏻
No connection to external apps.
I rely on the connection with external apps to input my exercise and activity. Having to enter it manually myself is a pain. So unfortunately, though I prefer this for the tracking information, I have to delete the app.
Solid basic tracker
I've used the app for years when I'm off my game. It is easy to find where I'm eating too much fat or not getting enough water, and being able to enter my own recipes is helpful That being said, it lacks a lot of entries, is very focused on particular brands, could be far better with PB foods, the scanner does not work. Take what you can.
Finally, and easy to use calorie tracker
Seriously, I can’t say enough about this app. I’ve tried so many others. They all want to control your diet. This app lets you customize your weight goes and your calorie goals without telling you what to do. Also gives you a clean view of your day. Amazingly simple!
Disappointed User
Glitchy, basic but useful if you can put up with it not working the same way everyday.
Nice App
It’s a good app for tracking my carbs. I just wish it was easier to add multiple item to a meal. The meal copy feature helps with that.
Cant login
When trying to log in with an account it shows error 502.
Please include Australia
Suggested by my dietician but barcode scanning is only for the USA. Very disappointed.
perfect
this app is perfect exactly how it is. no requirement to sign up no ads. absolute gem
Used to be a good app
Unable to login and history for a week has didappeared. Whoever developed the idea was good but appears no one is watching the shop or fixing the issues.
Very useful, Australian based
It’s easy to add your own recipes and foods. Good graph of weight. Room for improvement: The database of foods needs updating as there are a lot missing. The exercise tracking requires all manual input. Good price though for lifetime use. No annual fee.
Ok app but probably won’t continue to use
The app is pretty simple to use. The scanner isn’t so good. It always says “scan item again” or “create food”, even for simple things! For instance I scanned Quaker Quick Oats and nothing! For this reason I doubt I will continue using it. If the scan doesn’t work I won’t create an entry. Not my job and to be honest it takes toooooo long!
Record keeping what I eat
I like the app. I like keeping track of what I consume. I have more motivation to avoid sweets and monitor my Bread ( my favorite staple) intake
Best tracker without weight loss pressure!
This is my food tracking app dreams come true!! I’ve been looking forever for an app that lets me to track/measure what I eat, drink, and do … AND THAT’S IT. No feature bloat, no motivational stuff, no community or coaching. Just the facts. Love this app so much. The UI is clean and easy. DON’T CHANGE IT!!!
It does not allow me to describe my account
I can’t use this app. I have been trying for several days to deactivate my account and the website will not do it. It just says sorry try again
Love it but
Doesn’t link with apple health
Not suitable for your own recipes
I think I’m done trying to use this app. I have created a lot of recipes so the app has kept me engaged. But I think I’m done. I just can’t find a good food tracking app. Issues I have with this app: when i search an ingredient and go to put in the amount I’m limited on the amount. I need a cup and instead it gives me oz, g. Another issue is a lot of items I try to scan in because they aren’t in the app but I scan it and a message appears that it can scan that item in. So I’m starting to feel the app is useless for me. I guess if all you eat is processed foods or fast food then this app probably has a large database. But it’s not suitable for building your own recipes.
Bar code scanner
The scanner feature would be cool, but so far, a week in, absolutely nothing I’ve scanned is in the system. The app overall is helpful
Great. For tracking progress
A very helpful tool in watching your calorie intake and keeping track of your weight and goals.
Ads are a problem
Have been using this app for a few years and built up a large data base. As of august 5 2024 the subscription for no ads is applicable. Going to the settings menu an looking at the ad free options it shows 1 month,3 month or one year. However none can be activated! I dont need google ads popping up every time I want to enter data. The program has helped me keep track of trends and helped in losing 35# and keeping it off. I will actively start with another ap to avoid the google nonsense.
Was great but now not so great
I really like this app. A few days ago it started crashing when I tried to enter my weight. I’ve rebooted my phone, deleted and reinstalled the app and it’s still crashing. What a disappointment.
Food label scans don’t work
On every food I have tried to scan the barcode for it has not worked. Some of the foods are in the “food search” page but not on the barcode scan, it’s a little frustrating. Also there are hardly if any gluten free or dairy free options. Please update!
Needs More Food Data
Great for keeping track calories, weight, and exercise but the fact their food database is so small, you pretty much have to manually put in all your food because they only have information on a few brands. Had this app for 3 days and am already tired of manually putting in nearly everything I eat so I will be looking for a better option. Please work on your food database, because this app could be perfect if it wasn’t for that.
Put in your own recipes!
This is the absolute BEST app for controlling what you eat. Not the easiest to learn, but has the best options and works 100% great for me. You still have to do some work on your own recipes- using labels and a scale. Most people eat the same things all the time so once your favs are entered in the database, you can just keep using them.
Waste of time
Look somewhere else. The app cannot create the user id in the backend database!! You enter your email and password to create the account and the app fails to do so. You get the error failed to create device; code 500. Contacting the developers is a total waste of time.
Bar code
So many of the bar codes I scan are not in the data base. Please include more 🙂
Bug fixes and improvements
I prefer the overall "healthier lifestyle" approach of this app in comparison to myfitnesspal, showing healthy fats opposed to just saying I went over my daily fat intake, for example. Although, there are a couple features I like better from myfitnesspal such as: 1) Portions If I want to add 1/3 or even 1/2 a portion of what is given, it automatically calculates as 0 calories, 0 everything and is not accounted for. 2) Search Options I found it very rare to not find a food or brand I was looking for with myfitnesspal. Today, being my first day on the app, I have even had trouble with finding something as simple as a red grapefruit. I think you guys would benefit from widely expanding your search options by connecting to the web somehow. Bug fixes 1) Dates The app will simply not allow me to put my actual birthday, and automatically goes to the date "April, 14th 1997." This is not my birthday and I wish for it to be more accurate with my recommendations accordingly. I hope you guys take this to consideration as I have paid a hefty 6 dollars for this app.
Does not work right
I'm rating this app only three stars because it works to help lose weight and track your eating habit. WHEN you are logged in. I get randomly kicked out for no reason. Needs to be fixed.
Visual Help for Low Protein Diet
Recently diagnosed as Stage 2 Chronic Kidney Disease, Prediabetic. I already had Osteoarthritis and Eczema and focused on losing 30lbs gained since moving to a new state. This free mobile app has been a godsend. It's so helpful to actually see where my numbers are at any point, as well as the visual graphs that track overall performance rather than guessing or having to log into a desktop app. It is critical that I lose weight and specifically know where my protein and carbs numbers are to manage and ultimately improve my health and lose weight. Thank you for sharing this free version to assist me with my goals. This is life changing.
No just no
I hate this app it is not made for fast weight loss it’s for the healthy way 🙄 like it won’t even let me set calories below 1000 and you have to be over 18. I mean why tho it’s a weight loss app why you gotta be an adult to loss weight and their is other things.. and I just deleted the app so I didn’t get to use it a lot but just signing up I hated it
No widget
Great overall but needs a widget really badly.
Comida mexicana
No me gusto. No trae muchas opciones de comida mexicana. Funciona bien con restaurantes de USA
Please fix Sigh in issues
It’s a great app and serves recognition. Please fix the sign in issues. Otherwise many features don’t work. For that 3 stars for now. 5 if everything worked.
Heart Cent
I am very happy with this app. Easy to use easy for me to track my calorie intake.
Scanning Food
I believe I signed up for this app yesterday. It was recommended by my dietitian and because it had a scanning feature. Personally, I think the scanning feature is worthless because out of about five products that I scanned, only one of them came up. The other four I would’ve had to input everything.
Good application, easy to use
Good application, easy to use but unfortunately is not a application that is work greater than for stars due to the extremely outdated food content library.
User
This app is not set up to do fast entries the good data base isn't very good either don't even think it has a barcode scan option not impressed.
Barcode disappointing
I wish the barcode reader worked. I haven’t found it to work for anything.
Non judgmental buddy
Just the facts. This app is all about the count. The info you enter can be modified along the way as you learn more about your diet changes. Whether trying to gain, lose or maintain, it gives you at a glance assessment of where you are at for your daily goals.
Frustrating
When I go to reports you cannot get out. So this app is useless. Not easy to navigate. I will delete on get one more user friendly.
Mindfulness
This app keeps me conscious and mindful of my food intake. The act of tracking everything helps me to be more aware of my fitness and the calories I burn as a result, thus helping me in my weight loss journey. I don’t totally agree with some of the recommendations as far as suggested caloric intake, or suggested weight.
Unable to scan food
I had high hopes to use this app to monitor my diet but the scanning is not working with me and it’s more labor to put in the food. Does anyone have the same issue?
Great free app
Love this app very helpful
Really lame calorie database
This app doesn’t have name brand foods and very little flexibility in recording amounts. Useless.
Well thought out, clean, clear lines
I really like the "ControlMyWeight" and "Calorie King" apps. They are connected within the apps, and the subscription pages are the same. However, when you purchase an annual subscription for one app, it does not seem to apply to the second app. I have emailed customer support and am waiting for an answer from them.
Used to be my favourite
Unfortunately the app is no longer updated and many foods are missing or wrong.
