Super Responsive

Ive used and trusted calorie king for years to help manage my type 1 diabetes. The information provided in the app is invaluable in my daily struggle to keep my sugar “normal”.

There have been a few bugs lately that have caused me concern BUT I am happy to say that I reached out to the CalorieKing support team and they have addressed the issues within a day.

Thanks for your help and for your commitment to as much accuracy as nutrition facts can provide.

Indispensable

CalorieKing gets used dozens of times a day in our house and we have found it invaluable in calculating carbs for food. And the programmers are responsive to support questions.

As much as we use it the annual subscription fee was a no brainer. The CK people deserve it.

Back On Top!

Calorie King, I believe there are many people in the T1D community who under valued your contribution to our everyday function. This is true for me and my family. Instead of valuing your silent assistance in our everyday struggle to manage an organ that science/Mother Nature used to handle for us, we seem to introduce ourselves when the opportunity to “sound off” presents itself. While I was blown away that carb counts were removed from your app (I believe in error), you properly responded with a expedient repair. Simply, thank you, and you now have my five star rating that you should have had from me on December 16, 2016 when our 7 year old daughter was diagnosed with T1D and when we were introduced to your app by our daughter’s endocrinologist.

Can't remove iPad keyboard

Whether it's landscape or portrait, when I change the serving size, I can't figure out how to collapse the keyboard.

Other than that, this is a great app.

THANK YOU!!

Awesome app update! Thank you for fixing the issues. Truly a lifesaver for our family when counting carbs for my type 1 diabetic child.

Great resource for Type 1 Diabetics

The bug introduced in the previously released version had me worried that they pulled carb counts for some reason. Turned out to be a bug that was just undone.

Excellent resource, thank you!

Good but

We loved this app & used it almost daily for figuring out carb counts for insulin dosing. With the new update (Jan 2018) we can no longer use it because the carb info was removed.
Please put the carb info back !!

Unimpressed

This app is highly inaccurate for nutritional values, I found myself using google to recheck and finding different numbers on the manufacturer websites. I've switched to My Fitness Pal

Really works

I have had this app for 5 weeks and have lost 11 pounds. It really works but requires being absolutely truthful about what you consume
and ensure you document all of it. The database is huge and seems to have everything. One can also make up special recipes if the food is not found and you know the ingredients or just simply add calories.

I have found that I can manage on 500-600 calories less per day than my allowance, which helped my weight loss. I did this by ensuring I had light snacks of fruit or raw vegs between meals. After about 3 weeks you get used to eating less.

Works the best out of any dieting methods I have tried. Highly recommended. Does not require an annual subscription. You buy it and it is yours to use without further cost although there is plan you can join if you wish. I did not do so.
