Leave a Review Keto diet app－Low carb manager
Amazing! 5 stars
I have always been to scared to try the Keto diet due to the numbers and the fear of getting it wrong. I.E carbs, fat ect. I stumbled across this app and it is amazing. I started off with the basic app but soon realised alot of the features where unavailable. Without hesitation i paid for the 3 months. The best decision i have made. It takes all the stress out of keto. It calculates all of your macros and has an extensive food bank. Shopping in the supermarket was easy as you just scan the barcode and it brings up all the info. Some food items are not in the bank but you can add them yourself. It has everything. You can even add exercise you have done and this gets reflected on your macros. Will be signing up for the year after the 3 months. Worth every penny. I couldn't do the keto without this. Thank you.x😋Show lesstrafford1987

Thank you for using our app and your detailed feedback!PRO is WORTH it! Even if you aren’t keto!
I’ve been using the pro version of this app for almost 6 months now and I don’t regret it at all. A lot of apps sucker you into buying “full” versions at ridiculous prices, but what you pay for this app versus what you get is exactly what you want. Keeping track of my macros even when I’m not currently eating keto is still easier on here than any other app I’ve tried and the design is great! I’m 29 and I’ve only ever written maybe 3 reviews for apps before and this is one of them. I am hopeful of an Apple Watch crossover in the future. 🤞🏻🤞🏻This app has helped me get a better relationship with food and that’s worth everything.Show lessLovingWren
Get Carb Manager Instead
I was really excited when I first downloaded the app because it seemed to be everything I was looking for. It has a great breakdown of calories, carbs, proteins and fats. But, this app is too limiting on the keto diet. Every time you enter a food, you receive an ad telling you to upgrade to premium and you can only add 5 items a day. By the time dinner came around, I added my breakfast (eggs and bacon), lunch (smoothie) and snacks (nuts). I tried to create a recipe and I was unable to add my dinner. I came to the reviews to see if other users were having the same issue or if I was doing something wrong—it’s the app. Without upgrading to pro, you cannot accurately input all of your daily intake. In reading the reviews, some users noted that “Carb Manager” is a much better app for keto diets. I downloaded it and transferred my food log for the day and it’s way better. It’s literally night and day. There’s much more ease when adding foods and creating recipes. There is no limit to how many foods you can log. I definitely recommend Carb Manager.Show lessKaelaSeana
So far so eh
Downloaded it not long ago and there are positives and negatives
Positives
1. Love how it gives you a visual representation of your goals, and how they change as you input information
2. Love the scanning tool
3. You can add water and activities/exercise
4. A subscription for a year is only $12
Negative
1. Trying to enter in my ingredients for breakfast and it stops you at the 5 item limit per day. As someone trying something out, that makes it very annoying and consider other products
2. I scanned one item and I already had to input it. I think instead of ME inputting it, if it’s not available we should be able to take a photo of the nutritional facts and developers or whoever type that in. People trying this out could type in whatever and it could be incorrect, thereby giving the wrong nutritional impression of certain items. Also, I don’t get paid when I do that so ya.
3. You have the ability to add activities such as exercises and walking, which is great, but the choices limited and strange. How can I not ad general walking, but you have walking while riding a horse? That’s a very specific thing to have listed, walking is much more popular than riding a horse. The only walking listed was at to many kcal. How do I know? I don’t have a activity tracker. Again, that’s your job to input not mineShow lesssschof86
Changed
I paid originally and the diet got popular and now they want the same price at Netflix to use this app? Give me a break. What a joke this greedy developer isDjivb

Thanks for your feedback! Our app costs 12 dollars per year, it is definitely much cheaper the Netflix.Superb App
First, My husband and I love this app! We are new to Keto and cannot imagine trying to calculate our daily intake without this tool! We absolutely love it and are happy with it.
There are a few things we feel that could be improved upon that would make this app EVEN BETTER!
1. Sugar Alcohols are tracked when you scan and look at the items you consider, however, they are not a metric that follows how much you’ve consumed. Yes they’re counted toward our carbs... but it would be helpful that it aggregates automatically like the other metrics. So pretty please? Add this one to the list?
2. Daily Weight tracker. Yes, it gives us the overall amount of how many lbs we’ve lost. It would be nice to see the daily/weekly progress.
3. Sharing meals from the Family Share or link to a friend? It would be nice if my husband and I can share the meal so we’re both not spending time scanning and entering the same information etc etc. I’m sure we’re not the only ones doing a Keto diet together! So it would be superb if we had the ability to do this!
We recommend this app without hesitation! Specially if you’re new to Keto like us!Show less@#$asd
Can’t use
Was great for the first day then second day pop up keeps wanting me to pay and subscribe and won’t let me save anything else now without buying. It’s a shame was a good app but will now be deletingLittle_Spoon

Thank you for your feedback As said in the description, our app is not entirely free, and you need a subscription to add more than 5 foods per day.

Just tap on the blue banner that appears when you're trying to add more than 5 foods, then tap Back and select Start free trial button Thank you for using our app!Lots of incorrect carb counts
As everyone doing keto knows carb counts are very important, I reached out to the company to advise them that their carb count for a simple item like coffee with cream was way off! I was really enjoying using the ap, now I am sceptical about all the data. They had coffee with milk listed as a lower carb count that coffee with cream. It had me so confused. how to take your coffee and stay within your carb count is keto 101!! Using cream instead of Milk was the first thing I learned on keto. I don’t know what to do because I loved this ap.. but now o don’t trust itShow lessbearbearluna

We really appreciate your feedback! Thank you for using our app! Nutrition info depends from ingredients and coffee with milk can contain different amounts of carbs. As example: https://www.fatsecret.com/calories-nutrition/generic/coffee-with-cream https://www.fatsecret.com/calories-nutrition/generic/coffee-with-milkOkayish
I paid for the year because well it’s only $12 so not a big loss. I tried others and I feel all are just about the same but after the reviews for this one I though I might as get this one since it has good reviews. The only major complaint is the limits of the free version. Well I’m wishing I could get my money back at this point several days in and not one single barcode that I’ve scanned has been correct in the app. Sometimes it even brings up random things not related to my scanned item or if it does bring it up it is entered incorrectly and but mostly it just says nothing found 🙄so the lack of food library items is irritating and the reason I don’t care for this app. I have to manually put in every single thing I eat which is time consuming to say the least. It negates the entire reason I got this app in the first place. The app also does not let you add stuff just randomly you have to add to your meal for that day then delete the item. I wish you would add a tab to create a recipe without adding to the day. Fix those things and it would be worth the money.Show lessangeliaanderson

We really appreciate your feedback! Thank you for using our app! Please read our internal help. the button is located in the left bottom corner.Useless without paying for the pro subscription
First impression of this app was that it was great. As I started putting my foods in for the day it was calculating the net carbs and showing how much I had left with nice graphical interface which is exactly what I was looking for, but I quickly discovered the free version only allows you to add 5 items a day. That’s 5 individual items not 5 meals, so I couldn’t even add one dinner’s worth of items for a simple chilli with 8 or 9 ingredients, let alone a full day’s worth of food.
As this is basically the only purpose of the app (similar types of apps also have meal / recipe suggestions etc but this app just has a food diary, settings, and FAQ) it is completely useless unless you’re prepared to upgrade to the Pro version for £3 a month, which I wasn’t. I know similar apps also have subscription tiers but their basic free versions at least offer some function.
2 stars since if you were prepared to pay for it, it would be a good app.Show lesssweenbobjoe
