Hi there, Thanks for testing out the app! You can barcode scan and use a verified food search too, all from the home screen if you prefer that way. The AI type/voice track is 98% accurate for cals, 93% accurate for protein when compared vs verified foods. However, this is negligible when you take a bird's eye view. What's more important is consistent tracking and getting that right. Food labels can be up to 10-20% off depending on country & we can't guarantee serving sizes are exact to packet. So overall the accuracy is there for sure. If you combine text/voice log with barcode/verified search (when you have time) you have a very powerful set of tools. Most users will voice log on weekends when it's near impossible to log that with standard search & scroll (think eating out, foods with no info etc. ParrotPal makes it possible to track these which is amazing). Users of ParrotPal are losing weight and really enjoying the flexibility of the app. Calorie deficits are required for fat loss, but perfection isn't (it doesn't exist in calorie tracking). We find that users who track more days (even if that means 1 voice log for the entire day) lose more weight and have better results compared to users who track "perfectly" on and off. Example: "on it" Monday to Friday and then weekends no tracking as it's more social and they can't be bothered to try and find the foods. Users who voice log weekend days (even if its 1 voice log for the entire day) get an accurate representation of their intake, and it's super easy. By doing this, momentum is built and the bridge between weekday and weekends are solid. This awareness alone is enough to create many "aha" moments with calorie intake. I appreciate you trying the app out and giving the feedback, I hope this reply is insightful and useful to understand the app and its use case.
Finally!
I was shown the app at a fitness expo and can’t stop telling everyone about it; sometimes you find something that just makes absolute sense and this is absolutely one of those things.
Game changer!

Hi there, This is unusual! If you pop us an email we can look into it (support@parrotpal.com). If you could send us a screenshot of the screen you see then we can work from that. Thank you!
No go

Hi there, This is unusual. We're always launching builds with bug fixes as soon as we find them, though. Give the app another download and try in a few days and let us know what you think after using it :) If you need more help pop us an email - support@parrotpal.com
Awesome App

Thanks for the review Steve! Glad the app is helping you like we designed it to. Simple, quick and effective.
Amazing.
The ease with which you can track food is brilliant - type it like a message, voice note it. This works like a dream for someone like me who often finds tracking tricky if I need to be exact in spelling etc. it feels so user friendly to me.
Would I recommend it? Absolutely 100% yes! It’s working for me. Without making me feel I cant maintain it. I can. It is genuinely so simple to log, delete, add foods if they’re not in the data base.
Add to that there is a very supportive creator behind the app, with fast responses to questions and queries. A great what’s app community full of support and feedback as well as tips and tricks to get the absolute most out of the app. There’s also a growing community on Facebook.
Cost - well truthfully very reasonable! The ability to have a trial first was great. I know there are other free to use apps. But one never been as successful with those as I am now. This is for me the best way forward. I can’t praise it enough.

Thank you so much for the nice words. It's the reason we do all of this :) Everything you mention is exactly how we wanted to help, and we're glad you're seeing the benefits of it. The WhatsApp community is great, you're all stars for being part of it and supporting one another!
The only calorie tracker you need
Simple to use but with more and more great features being added to continully encourage you.
Best of all I’m getting results in a sustainable way.
Whilst I tried other tracking apps and even paid the premium subscription this is the first one that I have ever used without fail.
Does the basics quick - FAQ and CONTACT US pretty much non existent
Saving food to fav ok but if make mistake can’t delete. No FAQ available. Help takes you to a sales pages and CONTACT US takes you to the top of screen 😂.
The idea is right but someone will come
and do it properly soon and will be on point👌🏽 This version very basic and lacks any customer service.
Overall good to try wouldn’t go past a couple of weeks with it

Hi Matty! Thanks for downloading us and giving it a go. You're right, it seems the FAQ link doesn't work. We have a new design build going live in a few days and everything has been tested to work. Under app settings you can join our dedicated WhatsApp group which has daily support. So we're very active, and we take on customer feedback and feature requests rapidly. No need to wait for someone to come and do it properly, we work daily on this app and our next build is 10x better. Please join our support group to get engaged with all the chats! Hopefully see you back soon
Brilliant app - struggle to get support
Sometimes the weights or calories are off when scanning or looking for something in the database.

Hi We're super glad to hear you've enjoying the app and have signed up for the year! We can't wait to share our latest update and improvements too. I've just found your Instagram DM in the "other" folder. We will resolve this for you today! Thanks for letting us know "contact us" doesn't work too, we will fix that Asap. Our support email is support@parrotpal.com for any future questions and help. P.S remember to join our dedicated Whatsapp group. It's very active and we're talking in there daily!
The future of calorie counting!
Due to snacking throughout the day, instead of logging in and tracking each meal, you can simply do a voice note and track your entire day at once. It’s as easy as that! 🙌🙌
Best thing in 2024!!
