Daily Carb for iPad User Reviews

Top reviews

Works great

Works as intended. It's nice to be able to track everything on one app.

Excellent App

I really like this app for tracking carbs. I also like that I can create my own categories and foods. Everything is right at my fingertips. It's pretty user friendly too.

Not too bad expected worse

Works for me

Very poor support

It's a nice app when it works. I have even gotten others to purchase it. However, support is minimal, slow, and not very helpful. I recently had to re-install my iPad version to my new iPad and it will not open all the categories even though I purchased the entire suite for my old iPad. Support has been minimal and of no help. It has some great potential when it is working and hopefully these problems will be remedied for others.

Small Food Database

I had to constantly add the food information by hand because the food database was too small to just find my food. It's great that it does net carbs: however, it should also count calories. I try to eat about 30 carbs a day, but occasionally, we all have days when little protein is available, and we are surrounded by the Carb Villains. Birthdays, holidays, I've been traveling in my car for 8 hours days. On those days I must keep my calorie count low so I don't gain weight. I also have a huge problem with apps that keep asking for more money if you want all the features available to you, as in $9.00 per month or $49.00 per year. I found another app that I paid a flat $2.99 for and it has a great food database and counts both net carbs and calories, as well as vitamins, cholesterol, salt and every micronutrient I could ever wish for. No monthly or yearly fee needed. Keep looking for a better app than this one and your search will be rewarded.😊

The Search is Over

This is the best carb app by far! Just stick to basic food groups when searching and this app will bring up specifics.... Love it. Easy. It tracks your water intake, too!

Review of the best‼️

💯%Good,Easy to Use"Can't Miss"
I have used this for a while and I would not be with out it. THE BOMB‼️
Easy the BEST👍

Great App

Glad I found this free app. The popular diet apps don't seem to get the need to count carbs. I only seem to lose weight when I follow the old "If you bite it, you write it" rule, and this helps a lot. After a week of use, I paid .99 to add the exercise module, to help spur me to move more.

Fantastic App!

This is a great app for tracking weight, blood pressure, glucose, carbs, lab work, medication, and water… basically every aspect of diabetes care. It's easy to use, the reports and graphs are informative and straightforward, and there's a good bit of customization available to make using the app faster and more tailored to your circumstances.

There are definitely areas in which it could improve. The built-in nutrition database isn't the most complete; it can also be a bit tricky to search and navigate, and you occasionally have to watch out for errors in the data (one example: if an item in the database has no entry for fiber rather than 0 g, the net carbs calculation messes up). That said, it's perfectly serviceable, and the custom foods, favorites, and My Recipe features mean that within a few days, you won't be so worried.

Carb and nutrition tracking is very nice, with the ability to see averages and still quickly drill down to individual meals. It would be nice to see timestamps for entries, but otherwise it's very well done.

Medication tracking is good, but a bit cumbersome. It does keep track of the medications you take and the unit of measurement, but not a default dosage, so adding an entry currently means selecting each medication individually and setting a dosage, every time. I'd like to see the ability to define batches with doses (like "morning pills") to add items you always take together quickly. You can add and schedule reminders right in the app, which is handy.

Glucose readings work great. Swiping the graph right a few times shows statistics by period, so you can see an average for your fasting numbers, your post-lunch numbers, etc.

The data export is very straightforward but includes a number of formats and allows you to select a range of data to include, as well as which modules to include data from. The PDF looks great and includes some helpful summary averages. The CSV imports easily into Excel or Numbers.

Modules are sold individually or all at once as in-app purchases; in my opinion, the all-in-one is the way yo go, but I'd like the ability to turn individual modules off entirely. I personally don't have any blood pressure problems, for example, so it would be nice to just hide blood pressure throughout the app.

All in all, I'm very pleased with this app. I've tried several others and this is far and away the most complete, easiest to use, and best looking.

Excellent!

This app has the tracking basics I need for free. i.e. Weight, Nutrition, & BMI and is user friendly.

I can add other tracking features if I want/need them. i.e. Glucose & other diabetes related add-ons.

The Journal Food overview and Reports are very worthwhile.

I got an immediate Support response to a question about entering a previous day food item. Five Stars!
