In comparison to LoseIt app, the interface for this app is great. It is simple, straightforward, and is not overly complex. There are very few ways you can get lost in menus the same way that you can LoseIt. The database of foods is really good, and I have not had any problems with that aspect.
There are a few items that are a little bit too basic that limits some of the ease views. One element is the limited ways of recording portion sizes. Frequently it is in strictly grams or a predefined serving that does not equate to the nutritional facts on a package.
It is overall a really good app!

Hi DexTexMex – Thank you for your review! I'd love to know what other ways you'd like to record serving sizes. Could you please email feedback@fitbee.app? Thank you!I’m finding this app preferable to MyFitnessPal but their library even of basic foods is rather bare. Like not having the calories for a can of black beans is wild. I’m sure it will improve as more people log/join but I wish it was a bit more fleshed out on basics.
Also, the import recipe feature needs some help. 6/10 ingredients it had a hard time matching (but that probably feeds into the library conversation if that’s where it’s pulling from)
Other than that, I like it a lot and am sticking with it!!!

Hi there - thanks for checking out FitBee. I'd love to learn more about the issues you're having with finding foods. Could you please email feedback@fitbee.app so I can look into it? Thank you!This is a beautifully designed app, both in terms of its design aesthetic and intuitive interface making it easy to use -- which is essential for keeping up with logging meals!
The developer was also quick to respond to some feedback and roll out an update, making this a no-brainer for me to switch over from another tracking app.
I don’t write many reviews. I felt compelled to write a review (Five stars!) for FitBee though for a few reasons.
One- the app just works. It’s snappy. Its UI is intuitive and everything makes sense. Nothing is hidden in places that would cause confusion.
Two- the developer is very responsive. We’ve exchanged emails about feature requests and general praise for his app. He was prompt and friendly and very receptive.
Three- FitBee tramples its competition. While other food journals will clutter their UI and lock barcode scanning behind a paywall, FitBee doesn’t do any of that. With more word of mouth (and I’ve been telling my friends about it), this app will definitely carve a huge chunk of the food journaling market share.
Kudos to the developer. Well deserved five star review. I can’t wait to see the app develop further!
This app is so cumbersome in dealing with portion sizes. For example I had 8 roasted almonds as a snack so I had to click on the 1 almond portion 8 times! And then I gave up trying to add the ingredients for a homemade lentil soup and then figuring out calories for one bowl, not to mention amount of fats. 2 tablespoons of olive oil were used but I have no idea how to calculate the amount in one bowl as I won’t know the total number of bowls the recipe produces until I finish the pot. I ended choosing McDougall’s lentil soup even though I had no idea of what its ingredients are. I could go on but I think you get the idea.
The app developer should take a look at how flawlessly Noom deals with the above. I quit Noom because of the “cute” little messages that are sent and all the psychological/informational propaganda we were supposed to follow. I simply wanted an app that I could use to track my food intake and thought Fitbee would be the answer, especially because several people recommended it on Reddit. But unfortunately, the app is such a pain to use.

Hi there,
I'm sorry to hear that you had a frustrating experience with FitBee. One of the primary goals of FitBee is to make logging frictionless and easy, so something must've gone wrong here. If you're open to it, please send us an email at hello@fitbee.app and we'd be happy to help troubleshoot the underlying issue. To log 8 almonds, you should be able to just type in a serving quantity of 8, instead of tapping a button 8 times.Found this app off a coding subreddit, and the dev personally DM’d me to try it out. I’ve been using it ever since the official release, and it’s amazing seriously. No bloat, does exactly what it needs to do, easy to use. I think this is the best fitness tracker out there right now. The rest are doing too much, all i want to do is track my food and this does that. Great work
Phenomenal easy app that is packed with tons of free features. The only downside is that the calories you have “banked” throughout the day/week, doesn’t automatically add up at the end of the day. This is really helpful to glance at as it comes in handy for planning for big family dinners or going out to eat. If they add this one feature, the app would be a 10/10 for me.
I’ve tried other food tracking apps and FitBee makes it easier than everyone else for me to stay on track. I’ve recommended it to my family and we’re keeping each other on track through our journey. Try it!
If you want a thorough app without basic features locked behind a paywall, then this one is for you! The AI calorie guesser is by far my favorite feature on any calorie counting app as well as the FREE barcode scanner. Thanks Fitbee 🥰
This is by far one of the best calorie/ macro counting apps.
There isn’t a bunch of junk ads, or articles, or other nonsense in the way.
It’s simple to use and super convenient.
10/10
