Stop the Ads
As a parent with a baby with Type 1 this app is very much needed. The ads are very annoying though. I’d pay a one time fee for the service but there is nothing here that I can’t get anywhere else for a monthly fee or yearly fee plus more. Add more or keep it free without ads for all of us who need this app for diabetes.

Great Library of Calories
Great library of calories when eating out! Only wish it was capable to sync to FitBit!
Life-Saving App!!!
I find it insane that anyone can find it in themselves to put dumb nit-picks in their reviews. As a Type 1 Diabetic, this makes my life 1000% easier. Who cares if there are some slight bugs or (sparse) ads? It has an insanely large food library and it’s free. You can change units and put how much your food weighs. You can also browse by fast food chain (which pretty much includes all restaurants regardless of if they’re actually fast food) and also by brand. It’s super easy to use and it really one of the best apps I’ve ever used! Definitely download it if you’re diabetic, or even if you’re not and are just trying to watch your carb, calorie or fat intake. Wish I could give this app 10 stars!!!

Ads galore & uncloseable
App will allow you to search food items as the site will and allow you to subscribe for an adfree version. But here’s the problem; anytime you search a food item you are hit with a full screen ad that you cannot leave unless you restart the app.
Make ad-free a one time purchase or reduce the ads/ make them banner style and closeable

Nothing but annoying pop up ads. malware(?)
After downloading this app I was able to look up exactly one food item before being overwhelmed with every kind of pop-up ad you could imagine. And none of them had an ex or anything to get out of it so I either had to double click the button or reboot my iPhone to clear the screen. Went back in two more times and the same thing happened each time. They have a remove ads function which cost $1.50 per month. I would avoid this app because with all those crummy ads, who is to know whether or not they include malware.

Used to love this app more
Calorie King, I have used your info way back when you were only available in book form. Now I recommend you weekly to my patients. I am dismayed with the new addition of ads which is very irritating as I demo your app to my patients. I have to close the app and restart and it's not so welcoming to those who are considering using your app.
Also PLEASE fix this problem - once I have selected the unit of measurement desired for the food I have selected I would love to be able to enter the quantity and press enter and see the results. I am usually entering numerous quantities for my selected food and it is highly irritating to have to go back in to the select my desired measurement unit each time. Please fix this.

Feedback
My doctor recommended this app to me so I can keep better track of my carb and calorie count and although it has been useful there are several items on the lists that the restaurants no longer serve, so they need to update this app.
Info is not accurate for a lot of restaurants menu items
Was looking for updated information for restaurant menu items. Unfortunately the info for many foods are outdated, or not accurate. Some items are missing such as grilled chicken nuggets 6 piece from chick fil a. Guess looking up each individual restaurant for their information is better.
Love it!! But...
I love this app for my daughter who is T1 diabetic. It’s convenient being on her phone and has just about everything, for the most part. I realize it’s difficult to have everything out there but I was a bit surprised when we couldn’t find any info from on McDonalds shakes. I know it sounds trivial but we use this app for carbs for her and I just fed McDonalds shakes are a permanent staple always have been
Otherwise. This is a great app!!!

Not complete
It has a lot of useful data an is easy to use, but it is not as complete as the website. Looking up mangos, for example, returns data for oz, gr, and a 10 oz fruit as purchased. On the website you get other options such as 17 oz, which is the typical size my grocer sells.
After using it for over a week I am even less impressed.
Ads after every search, not just once per launch.
Looked up “chocolate milk”, got milk chocolate, chocolate shakes, even Nestle’s powdered milk, but no chocolate milk.
Tried it again, still the same issues as before plus one more. The app has no interaction with Apple’s Health, so it doesn’t feed back nutritional information, doesn’t send or receive weight or exercise data.
