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.

Purchased version still has ads!

I pay monthly for the ad free version, yet I constantly have to watch an ad and then "restore purchases" to get rid of the ads! Not happy with an otherwise useful app.

Very accurate so far

I’m a type one diabetic. So I use this app to base how much medicine I should give myself with almost every meal. I used this app to lower my a1c from 10 to 7.4
Thank you so very much for creating this app guys and especially making it for free ♥️ I’d happily watch these ads.

Incomplete nutritional information

I think the nutritional information is incomplete. It’s doesn’t have the LDL/HDL distinctions and other nutrients and micronutrients. The information is too basic.

Wrong calorie counts

Just got finished have Birdseye’s Voila! Fajita Chicken for dinner. Looked up the calorie count on the app & it says 170 calories per cup. I then looked on the package, which shows 220 calories per 2 cup serving. Cutting this in half would make it 110 calories per cup, not the 170 the app shows. Makes me wonder how many other things are wrong?

Also needs updating for many brands & items missing from the app.

Mom of a T1D

This app was suggested to us by our nutritionist back in 2012 during our hospital stay. This is THE ONLY app we use to look up carb info, and the ONLY ONE you will need. It would be awesome if there was an update, even with subscription only, to have the option to ‘SAVE’ or ‘FAVORITE’ frequently used foods to be able to access quickly.

Pay the $12 or quit complaining about ads!

First, tired of seeing people complain that the developer had to start running ads to keep the app alive. It’s $12 a year!! Seriously, most meals you’re looking up cost more than that. So stupid. I use this all the time to determine what may be available to me when I’m on the road. The most irritating thing is that when you change the quantity on any food item that’s it, the number pad never goes away. You have to leave the food item and come back in. That of course gets rid of the number pad but also sets the quantity back to 1. Seems like a simple fix but after reading the comments it’s clear that I’m the only person paying for the app. Maybe just a bug fix for me then? Or, triple the ads for the people who don’t understand that things cost money?

Too many ads

I love this app because I can look anything up, but I don’t use it nearly as much as the book. There are WAY too many ads. Some take forever to finish so I can exit out of them.

You changed!!!

Initially, I downloaded this app almost 2 years ago. On the advice of our dietitian. It was wonderful! Warranted a 5 star review.

It was very specific for carbohydrate counts in general. There were some items that were not listed on the menus, especially for certain fast food restaurants, but that was ok. The best thing was that there were no ads.

Things have changed recently! Now in order to research more than one item you must watch an ad! I don’t have time to watch ads, especially ads for games. Since this interferes with my use. Therefore,I will delete the app.
