Far better before
This used to be my favourite app. The ad pop ups are now constant, making it virtually unusable. Way too many fast foods to scroll through when I just want basic, whole food calories and nutrition. You should create a lite version for those of us who want the basics.
I paid for this...
This app is great for some things. But not for carb counting corn my for diabetic six year old son, as well as other aspects of food. I paid for this app because the ads were annoying and my six year old son was diagnosed as type 1, and this was recommended... the website, is fine, I’m sure. But I do not recommend paying for this app.

Would have been 5 stars ...
Would have given this app 5 stars ... BUT charging $1.49/month to remove ads is the ultimate in gluttony! $1.49 for a lifetime would be more in line with other apps ... and I would be more than happy to pay that ... but greedy developers don’t get BIG star ratings in my reviews!! AND your ads are MORE than typically annoying ... every time you search a food an ad comes up ... YES, EVERY TIME!!

Not great
I’m a dietitian and I use this app all the time to teach carb counting, however lately the ads have gotten really bad. As soon as I look up a food with a patient there is a full screen ad/video that we are forced to watch. It is extremely annoying and completely takes the focus away from what I’m trying to teach. I understand the need for some ads but this is overload and it’s making me not want to use the app anymore. This app used to be a 5 but now I’m giving it a 2.

This is a great app, but don’t download this without an ad blocker
I am a type 1 diabetic and this app is great. With this app and a scale at home, you can figure out how many carbs are in anything. This app not only allows you to see nutritional information, but it also has a built in calculator where you can enter your portion in either oz or g or any other serving size and it will recalculate with correct nutritional content. It even has many restaurants, I was surprised to see so many. You don’t even need Internet connection or data for it to work, it’s all offline and saved to your phone.
Only two problems. When you change portion sizes by typing in a number, the only way to get rid of it is by clicking on the units and then click done. Also,I had this app for a long time and loved it, but they filled the whole app with ads. Usually I am one to allow ads to give the developers money, because it is great, but I am not going to pay an outrageous subscription fee to use it without ads. This app was the last straw to make me download an ad blocker on my phone. Not I am happy and cannot ask for anything more.

Not useful
This app isn’t very useful. It seems to know the calorie counts for a lot of processed foods, but if you type in a natural ingredient, say “pistachios”, it has nothing. Ironically, this means that the app is least useful for fresh food, the exact kind of thing you might want to eat more of if you’re trying to watch your calories.
Likewise, there is an entry for “dry roasted peanuts”, but it gives the calorie value of one single peanut. Thus, there was no way to compare the calories in roasted peanuts to the calories in raw peanuts, because the raw peanut calorie count was given in cups.

TYPE 1 too.
I finally found your app again after loosing you years ago.
Being a type 1, you’re able to make things easier for me . I am one of the longest living type 1s out there. I’ve had it for 60 years. So thank you again!

Terrible App Support
Why do you update this app so infrequently? Prior to 6 months ago, your last update was 3 years ago!! That's unacceptable. As a diabetic, one can't count on an app that doesn't update with the ever changing landscape of retail and restaurant chain food. Please find a way to support this app and stay up to date. I'm once again adding it and immediately deleting it because it's a complete let-down.

Another Type 1 Diabetic
This isn’t gonna be as good of a review as the other ones, it’s not you, it’s me. Basically, I’m terrible with words, but as a type 1 diabetic, this has helped a lot. My family and I both got tired of guesstimating and being too far off. My diabetes educator recommended this to me when I first got diagnosed (i was 13?? Something like that, i don’t know, it was like 2015), and it’s helped a lot. Diabetes is annoying and a huge pain (especially with hormonal stuff going on), but these makes it a bit easier to manage. Thank you~

👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
I understand needing advertisements to pay for an app that people are allowed us to use for free. But, after every time I touch to go back, I get an ad. Sure, go ahead and use ads. However, you don’t have to make them so frequent I’m getting bombarded with them. It makes me not want to use the app at all. I’m definitely not gonna pay for your app to get rid of ads simply because you are shoving them down my throat so far I can’t breathe. I can’t even tell if the app is worth spending money on because I have an add every two seconds. 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
