  • Recommendation

    I wish it was possible to write the number of things instead of the weight. Like two eggs insteed of 50gr.
  • Great way to track what you are eating!

    I’m really happy with how easy the app is to use. Five Stars!
  • This Isn’t MyFitnessPal

    … and I’m totally fine with that. This app is great for tracking calories and/or the foods you eat in a day. It’s fabulous for logging exercise and calories burned and offers timelines of progress for both. If you’re wanting ultra specific food categories/options, an app that does all the work for you by scanning barcodes, etc, then this isn’t the app for you. Are there things that could be improved? Definitely. HOWEVER. It’s a free, simple to use app that can be used as an at-a-glance calories in/calories out diary that doesn’t require an account and a pint of blood to utilize. Personally, it’s almost exactly what I was looking for and thanks to their ‘create your own food’ option, I’ve been able to tailor it to what I need. If you’re already eating healthier and are mainly looking to keep an eye on what’s going in, what’s going out, maybe loose some weight in the process, then I highly recommend.

  • Nope

    The daily calorie limit it set for me is terrifyingly low. Not sure how they calculate that but it is not even close. This is very scary and could promote people to under eat or even encourage restrictive eating disorders. The only “people” who should be eating 1200 calories a day are toddlers (seriously, look it up).
    Also the interface of this app is sketchy looking at best. I uninstalled this so fast. Please don’t use this garbage.

  • Not user friendly

    Not enough food options and
  • Awkward

    Good premise, but needs work.
    1. I want to enter my physical stats in Lbs/"/oz. But almost all foods are measured in g/mg/ml. What unit of measurement I use in my calorie estimates is used for everything else. Thus, after entering my physical stats in Lbs/"/oz I have to change it to Kg/cm/g for the food portion to work without having to convert every entry. You need to separate the physical stats units from the food units.
    2. Entering your own food: Works okay except when you select the optional Extra Units. Once you enter and save, it returns to the primary create food screen, but won't allow you to scroll up to see the "Create Food" button. You basically have to cancel the program and remove it from the background to recover. I would add in all the items on the nutritional tag on the main screen, and mimic the order. A suggestion… add in an option to scan the UPC barcode to grab the nutritional information from the web if available. It would make entering your own food easier.
    3. As someone else commented, you need an easier means to edit a created food or even delete it. It seems the only place to do this is when you are adding it to your meals. The three dot option should be to Manage Foods, which would then allow you to create, edit, or delete.
    4. Meals (the fork & knife icon): I'm really not sure how this is supposed to work. If I've already created a food, it is recorded as a serving size. I shouldn't have to further indicate how many units of weight I'm eating, but rather the number of servings I'm having. This is more logical. I'm not sure what selecting the "More Options" & "Delete Food" is supposed to do as it doesn't seem to delete it from anywhere. Same with the option to "Edit Food"… it doesn't seem to edit the original food created, nor does it change anything you have already entered for your meal. You need an option to simply list foods by name without the icons (or reduce the icon size). I can see this screen getting really big.

    I found it confusing to enter items for what I thought was a meal and not have them displayed that way. It wasn't until I tapped the circular "Daily Calories" on the main screen that I saw what I had entered and was able to remove the items I duplicated inadvertently. It would be much nicer to group things by meals (and snacks).

    All in all a good start, but I'm afraid I won't be continuing to use it at this point.
    Good luck.

  • Waist if time and PRO not worth the money

    Very very limited on food and weight options not easy to creat own food. App calculations are way off and it don’t let you set your calories per day
  • Loving it 😸

    So far so good. I love how it has you plug in your information, and tell you the calories you’re allowed a day to reach your goal weight. I have done calorie counting diets before, always grossly underestimate how many calories I am allowed a day. Which sets me up to fail lol. 10 out of 10 would recommend this app 😸.

  • Useful and simple

    In the times of expensive and pointless subscription services for every single thing it is refreshing to see an app that does just what you need. Without the requirement to share your full biography and open yourself to constant tracking. It does not have a very broad food database but you can make your own entries. Some improvements can be made in the interface and functionality but these will hopefully be worked out in future releases. If you want to track your calories and nutrition profile - this is the app for you. If you want pointless zen advice and “coaching” at every bite - go with the overpriced providers of “services”.

    Consider getting the paid Pro version. Not because of the added functionalities (not that many) but because what was already done deserves to be compensated.

  • Disappointed

    Food entry is too time consuming and frustrating
