Decent
Response from developer
Thanks for the review :) We focus on calories and protein only, so no macros are missing, it's a decision we've made to focus on what actually matters for weight loss and not to have overwhelmed with data. Less is more, as they say! We don't share data with Apple Health, but Apple Health connects with us. We've only had one request to share the info with Apple health so far, but we will for sure add this in the future. We've got lots of exciting new features and improvements to launch in the next 2 weeks that I'm sure you and everyone will love too!
Works as advertised

Thanks for the review. We do connect to Apple Health so we will add the ability to share the info back to them shortly. By the end of January we will have this feature so we hope to see you back then! :)
AI Calorie Tracker
Awesome app
Needs work
A few of the issues I’ve experienced are:
1) scanning barcodes and then having to input the data is not what was promoted.
2) App mixed up date & data for day 3 & 4. Day 3 calories are showing for Day 4, but steps are correct. Day 3 podcast was same as day 4. Day 3 weight was showing Day 2 weight. I have the latest version of the app too. (1 week old)
3) Day 1 automatically starts the day you download which is not an option you can change. Therefore much data was missing for day 1 but is included in weekly average which is now skewed. It should only average the weight data which is captured, so is not a true average. If users get to choose start date they can prepare the things needed to actually start properly. Like taking weight before breakfast and getting some food which are healthier.
4) Can’t get accurate progress data. Weekly average is way off. One day was showing 50kg more than my actual weight, even though I had entered my weight correctly.
5) FAQs are very basic, not much help if your having issues with it

Hi Bel thanks for leaving a review. For 1) make sure you have the correct food database region on. Our highest matching barcode network is actually in Australia, so I suspect here it's not set to the right country. 2) this has been fixed now. We had some timezone issues for Australia. 3) We only average weight data that is captured in the app. You don't need to add your weight daily, but 3 or 4 times a week is a good spot to get an accurate weekly average for your weight. 4) Our weekly average and check-in feature has some bugs on this, all fixed now. It perhaps was a change of KG to Pounds that caused the issue. 5) FAQs will be worked on. We've worked hard to fix these bugs and the newest version of the app works smoothly. I hope we see you try the app again soon!
Great app so easy to use!
Absolutely incredible - exactly what I was looking for
This is pretty much exactly what I’ve been looking for, an app that tracks your calories by just speaking what you ate. The relatively minimalist, text-message-like interface is also brilliant, as it makes it so quick to track any meal, I find I’m much more likely to do it than I have been in the past with other apps, where I need to do a lot of searching and selecting to track different items. I really hope this breaks through all of the many other diet apps out there, as it very much deserves to have a spot at the top.

Hi Walt Thank you for the review. It's exactly what we made it for! We've been in the health & fitness game for many years, and we have built apps before, so this new app is the accumulation of all of that. We asked ourselves what would an app look like that focuses on weight loss without the overwhelm? How would an app look like if it was more conversational vs entering 100s of data points? How can we help users understand what to do and get them motivated every day? What are the key metrics that matter, and what if we followed the "addition via subtraction" way of thinking? So after a lot of testing this is the result. We will continue to deliver daily podcasts for app users which shares insights into studies, behaviour change, motivation, Stoicism and so much more. If you ever need support you can email us support@parrotpal.com and make sure to join our support Whatsapp group! (Found at the bottom of settings). And one more thing, we've just launched our "custom meal plan generator". So you can get a meal plan made for you tailored to your goals and preferences. Good luck Walt! Keep it up
Game Changer! 5 Stars!
I highly recommend this for anyone on a fitness journey - it will not disappoint you!! Excited to see what future updates will bring.
Revolutionary!
After a short survey my calories and protein targets were calculated, on one easy to use screen I could see my progress and add the foods I have eaten during the day.
Being able to go out for food with friends and easily voice note or text what you have eaten and it is logged immediately is a game changer!
A daily podcast and the ultimate trio of steps, calories and protein is an easy way for fat loss!
