Not accurate for less than 1 serving
If you want a general idea of what you’re eating and calories you consume by eating, the app is ok. If you eat less than 1 serving of anything that is hard to measure in servings then the app is completely inaccurate. You don’t always have access to food scales, measuring cups, spoons, specially for snacks. Also, what is considered a wedge of cheese? The difference is huge between kinds. Finally it does not let you record your activity; I ended up taking it off my diary so to keep only a food diary. Food databas can always improve and grow. It’s also not a huge app, for now, as compared to many similar ones in scope; hopefully it will stay that way.

Easy to use and perfect for what you’re looking for
I started using Calorie king back in January of 2017 and it couldn’t have been easier or more user friendly. Log in, create an account, and already feel like youre putting your body to shame with your calorie counts! I event sent an email to the developers of the app about them adding something to it and they responded quickly, kindly, and with a pleasant response of them adding it. Great app with a lot of care about the people using it.

Best food logger for Australians
This is by far the best food logger for Australians with a huge data base and simple menus to add new foods. The ability to quickly create a recipe is fantastic and saves a lot of time in the long run.
The biggest negative of this app is the lack of interaction with ios Health. I use a gps tracker for my exercise & because this interaction is not there waste time transferring exercise data into the CalorieKing/ControlMyWeight ap when it automatically uploads to Health.
This lack of functionality causes me to try and explore other food trackers regularly and thus not give 5 stars.

Was great, now has login wall
This app *was* a superb offline, local-only food database and diary with rapid entry. Now it has an annoying login screen that pesters you to sign up/in and sync your data with the cloud. Despite having a "skip" option, it doesn't remember and keeps popping up. Really annoying when you're trying to enter a food entry *quickly*.
I *don't* want to sync my data with any online service. That was my main reason for paying for this app.
Will update review to five stars if dev decides to be less aggressive with login.

The perfect app to keep you on track
I'm using this app and believe is better than others. The most I love it's free. I'm taking a Nutrition Course and since I'm using it, i can keep track of my health. I've lost 6 lbs in 4 weeks, and have learned to control my diet by setting a goal. I would recommend to make it feasible to transfer the info to the Health app, and to add a way to scan the products to get the info you need in this app. Thank you for such a great app!

Great OZ app but no apple health integration?
I am loving the app after moving from the regular CalorieKing app, It has so many foods and I am constantly suprised at whats in the database, being able to bring up recents and creat my own recipies is a huge time saver. This would be a 5 star for me if it had apple health integration. My phone already records my exercise, I dont want to be re recording this information and as a diabetic I would find it far more useful if it worked with the health app, bringing my carbs,calories, etc over. Its now 2017 this should be a givien for any health and fitness app, very disappointing.

Brilliant!
By far the best calorie counter I have ever used. The interface is quick and easy. I have never had an issue with the app and I think it is way better than weight watchers or spark people. It really works for me and helps me keep track of my food with no fuss at all. Well done! Great app 👍
Great and Helpful!
This is a great app, it has a wide variety of foods and it really helps with dieting and shows you how much you really eat in a cleanly displayed way.
