Leave a Review Keto diet app－Low carb manager
Success!
Using this APP to track my Macros the last 5 weeks and I’ve lost 20lbs by diet alone! I’m new to keto and found this app to be very user friendly. There is an option for Net Carb vs Total Carb counting if you want to dial in tighter. I track Net Carbs and have been successful. The scanner is a great tool though not everything’s recognized. A 5 star rating would have been given if more foods were available for look up and it didn’t require a subscription. Having the ability to copy foods from previous entries and even create personal meals has also been useful. I continue to be very pleased with this APP and look forward to further improvements. No plans of switching counters!Show lessChaChaPet03
😟 Not Happy
On a recommendation from another Keto person, I downloaded this app. Being brand new, the first day I was excited because I thought it was fairly easy to use & understand. Then I tried to scan. Wouldn’t scan. Ok. Moving on to Day 2 (which, btw, is today). I’m only up to lunch & again I tried to scan. Wouldn’t scan. (Oh, & I tried to scan something at the store yesterday as well. Guess what? Wouldn’t scan 😑). I’ve only had one successful scan out of about 4 attempts. Then as I’m trying to input food, all of a sudden I get a banner wanting me to upgrade. UPgrade. UPGRADE DAMMIT. but I don’t WANT to upgrade at this point in time. I’ve used this app a whole day & thus far, haven’t been super impressed. But it won’t allow me to continue working with the app, get buy-in from me & let me decide within a reasonable time that maybe I’d want to. So ya know what?? It’s getting the ol @# delete button at this point. You want to get pushy with me, that’s what you’re gonna get. And letting other keto people know which app NOT to waste their time with.Show lesstahhoe
Excellent!
This app has everything you need to be successful on Keto. As a relative novice, I needed some guidelines and I was not disappointed. It does the maths for you, ie; I tap in the grams of an ingredient into the app as I weigh them and it calculates for me the carbs, fat, etc. content so I can add and adjust as I go to meet the daily allowance it has determined for me. I use it everyday. It has a vast catalogue of foods to search through too. Even different brands, or you can manually add something to it.
It’s only £12 for the year! Absolute bargain. I paid straight away. That’s how much you spend joining a slimming club that you’re bored of in two weeks. Just go for it!Show lessToohottohandle101
LOVE this app! Great tool for Keto
The app was recently updated to calculate sugar alcohol and dietary fiber in order to get a true net carb count. This was the ONLY this that this app needed. I love everything about this app. I can scan a barcode in for nutritional info (if it isn’t in there already). It even has restaurant food (ie Chic fil A sandwich or Panera soup) It breaks your day down by meal or by carb count, calorie count, etc (however you’d like it to break down). You can easily copy from one day to the next if you eat the same thing frequently. If you’re even thinking of eating a food you can see how it will affect your macros for the day and it won’t save it unless you tell it to. So you can change your mind if it’s going to put you over your limits! It’s great. It even keeps track of my water intake (which really makes you conscious of how much you’re drinking). Now I see that I can create a grocery list based off of my favorited foods. I haven’t tried that yet, but I plan on it now that I know it’s there. I used the free version for about a month then I upgraded to the PRO. It has way more features. Just spend the $12 or whatever it was. It was very inexpensive for something that I rely on every day to keep me in check. You won’t be disappointed!! I only wish it was compatible with my iPad. I tried to install it today and it said it couldn’t. Hopefully that will come in the near future.Show lessLegalgirl01

Hello Thank you for such a detailed review! :) We'll try to add iPad support in further updatesSeems to be having problems
I’ve been using this for a month and I pay the monthly subscription, it was going well and improved after the last update.. but now it starts to freak out when I save a meal with more then 1 portion and then upload it to my daily intake and state I had 1 portion of this meal. It will state the days remaining kals/Protein/Carbs and fat but after a while it’ll suddenly add all the other portions. The only way to fix this is to delete the meal and reload it.Show lessStephKWorcestershire

Hello. Thank you for the feedback! Our developers have already solved this problem and we will release the update soon! Sorry for any inconveniencesMediocre app, great keto results
I am enjoying my new keto lifestyle and having good results. I like this app and it is an integral part of my day. However 80% if the branded items I scan or lookup are incorrect. I understand that food manufacturers update ingredients and adjust nutritional information but I feel that 80% is too high of a percentage of inaccuracy. I double check everything I scan/lookup. The barcode scanner does function well. I really like the new feature of saving favorites. I also like the meal creator and being able to edit the items.
I don’t understand all the negative reviews about the app not being free. It’s clearly indicated in the description. I am a pro member and feel the price is very affordable for a year. I consider it an investment in myself.
A few suggestions:
-the interface between Apple health and the app isn’t great in regards to adding items to your day. I might add/remove some foods to plan my macros and move things around but anytime you a food to the app, it reports it to Apple health. If you remove and decide to add another food or amount, it also adds to Apple health this accumulating anything added to the app even if it was deleted.
-weight tracker is confusing. Doesn’t track total weight lost from start date but tracks incremental loss from the last recorded date.
-I wish the app didn’t open by default with the macros “exploded”. I find myself always minimizing them.Show less_ELAP_

Hello Thank you for such a detailed review. We'll discuss your suggestions in our team and will try to improve the application Thank you! :)Spend your money elsewhere
Works great for 5 Mins then made to upgrade as nothing will work. No free trial available. I noticed many Australian foods not available even when barcode is scan and only compatible with Fit Bit not Apple Watch. Still trying to get subscription cancelled and refunded from support team. I’d suggest looking into other options.Show less***Krist10***
Concerned about accuracy
First off, all the negative reviews because you have to pay to use this app to its fullest extent are ridiculous! Companies need to make money too, just like you. Since when are you “entitled” to a FREE app that does it all?? They have to pay employees to create these apps inc updates, etc. 🤷🏼♀️... With that being said, I am concerned now about accuracy with this app after sifting through so many comments. DEVELOPERS~ thank you for making such a great app and offering it to me at such an affordable price of $12 a year. Can you comment on accuracy of net carbs, etc. to ease my mind. I really love using this app, but I want to make sure I’m staying within my macros at same time. Also, will there be an update in the future that allows for more flexible options on portion size such as oz, grams, cup, slice, etc on all the foods? I don’t always have a scale, like when I’m on the go. Other than that, your app is awesome!!Show lessJennLensing

Thank you for your review. We are constantly updating the database and add new portions. Also we've added the sugar alcohols to the database, so the net carbs count is always correct.Adverts
It keeps stopping me from adding foods together. I want onegdhjifvngdhitryh13)$886
Why did you change measurement values????
Been using the app for a couple months now. Its been an essential tool wasn’t perfect but gave a basic ballpark idea up until 3 days ago when they decided to change the whole portion values into Grams??? This makes it very difficult to track my intake now! For instance it used have option for a slice of cheese now its in grams of cup of kale is also in grams. My daily meat intake was in ounces now its in grams ! Im really disappointed can you please put it back to how it was when i first PAID FOR MY SUBSCRIPTION!!!! Or im just going to have to delete this app all together !!! Also i yried to contact costumer support and never got a response!!!!!Show lessScrewUber
