Leave a Review Atkins® Carb & Meal Tracker
App needs work
The scanner doesn’t work. I’ve tried multiple times on multiple items and it just won’t scan, on either phone or tablet.
Not everyone measures things in grams. It would be nice if it could be changed to ounces. Because some things are listed in grams, others in ounces, then some as “pats” (as in butter), etc, it makes the results hard to follow and understand.
Also it would be great if the protein converted to ounces. When it says I ate so many grams of protein and then I calculate that into ounces, it’s off - way off. When I know what I ate, but it’s calculating out as something totally different, it worries me about the rest of the app. I’m considering going back to a spreadsheet.😢Show lessnew age mama
Wow what an Improvement
I have been on an Atkins Diet since my cardiologist suggested it after having a heart attack in 2012. I looked at using this app back then but it was so lacking I decided on other apps to manage tracking my food and carb intake.
I have reloaded the a few times over the years, but decided to take a look a week ago and all I can say is huge improvement.
I would like to see a water intake tracker just to keep me on track. But the biggest thing I would suggest is to all multiple add button to select multiple foods to one meal. Other than that this app does what it advertises.Show lessSAgent1701
No fitness tracking/customized meals need updates
Update: after using this app a bit longer there are a few other things on top of fitness tracker that would make this better.
1. The ability to scan an item when creating a customized meal. This would be so much easier than having to search each ingredient.
2. The ability to create a customized meal and add exact nutritional information. There are several recipes online that have the exact nutritional information if followed correctly. It would be great to be able to input the nutritional information.
3. I understand the focus isn’t so much on calories but it would be great if the calories were available for each ingredient or even meal/snack rather than just daily totals.
Original review: I just started using the app today. There is functionality online that is not in the app. The main thing I’m missing is the fitness tracking aspect. I workout each day and want to track that on the app as well but it’s not available in the app. Is there a plan to have all functionality that is available online also available in the app? The app is much more convenient to use.Show lessHonda buyer
Best user-friendly weight loss tool EVER!!
This is the first weight loss tool that I didn’t delete within 24 hours of installing. It is so easy to use, even for us baby boomers, and it provides accurate accountability for every single thing you eat. Also keeps a running calorie count for the day. No more guessing or estimating. If you are serious about being on a low carb plan, there is no better tool than this one, and believe me, I have tried so very many! I like that I didn’t have to put in so much data just to get it up and running, too. Great app!Show lessfinnde
Solely useable for Atkins prepared meals
For some foolish reason Atkins’ new version of this app has disallowed any new foods to be added. If you have a new vegetable you want to eat, or your own recipe, or something from a new chain restaurant, you cannot track it because now you cannot add anything new. Or if you can, Atkins has made it so hard and secret no one can figure it out. The app now relies only on searches of old food that was entered during the earlier version of the app, or the prepackaged non fresh food made by Atkins. If there is a smart programmer out there, just create a new app that will allow the user to search foods people entered, AND enter your own food, and throw in a way to carry over the same food you eat each day with a simple tap, and you’ll capture the entire market of low card dieters!Show lessA person who draws
Ok app
I am in several online keto groups. I asked for recs for a good carb tracking app, and this one seem to be the most highly recommended. However, I have found it to be challenging to use. What I do not like about it is it’s very difficult to search for items in the Atkins database. If you try to type in a description, unless it’s 100% identical, it’s almost impossible to find what you’re looking for. Also, I do like that you can scan in an item, but I have scanned in many items that do not show up. And it’s very difficult to then try to find something comparable for some items. Also, I would like to adjust what my target carb/net carb goal is, but that does not appear to be adjustable. And I’ve wanted to write to customer service, but the app includes no way to contact anyone. I don’t know if there are other carb tracking apps that are better, but I only find this one to be adequate.Show lessDrl621
Good but could be better
Before switching to Atkins 40 and using this app, I used Cronometer. It gives you more information than just net carbs when you pull up a food, it gives you protein and fat and the option to see full nutrition information. I think this would be beneficial on the Atkins app as well. Also, would help to show net carbs, fats and protein for each meal and snack at the bottom of each section and not just accumulated for the whole day as you enter. Atkins website shows you where they want you to be in terms of numbers for the day, app just fills in the circle and gives you the number you have consumed and I have to go back to the website to see what the range is . Both would help you learn how to plan each meal better. I suggest taking at look at Cronometer Atkins. Your app is good, but you could make it great.Show lessI am the real Lacey
Very helpful
I use the tracker every day to monitor my intake to stay 20 carbs or less and also watch total calories. Things I don’t like: you have to go back to the menu page, then to the meal, and then add each item separately as opposed to being able to add multiples to the meal at one time. NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW what the red flames at the bottom of the page nor the green wheels that say fat and protein mean or how to interpret them. Why even put them on there if there are no explanations? I wrote to Adkins but no response. I also find that often the numbers that come up do not match the nutritional information on the container so I have to do a lot of custom entries.Show lessLikes to draw lots
Great but needs some work
I really enjoy the app. Very easy to use and the scanner is helpful for items that are not in the database.
My only complaint is it isn’t like myfitnesspal where you can select different serving sizes such as cup, tablespoon, ounce, etc. serving is the only option and then there aren’t always the right sizes for what I need. It would be nice to be able to choose per cracker especially since I don’t eat a full serving of crackers.
It also isn’t compatible with Apple and that’s super frustrating consider Apple has a giant presence in the cellular market. I use my iwatch and ihealth app and it would be nice for the app to be on my watch to track my progress. Maybe something for the future?Show lessMrsWithem
I like it!
Helps with keeping track of your carbs and is pretty easy to use. I like that you have graphs and tables showing stats. Where this app could use a little improvement: separate vegetable carbs, about 1/2 of carb intake should be from vegetables. It would be nice to see a graph of division similar to the calorie count. Next, a quick add when selecting your food options, similar to my fitness pal. Where it would allow you to multi select foods your normally eat to log them. Other than that, great app. I do agree with other users, the carb counts are not always accurate and may be a little off.Show lessTripleAmomofthree
