Lots of room for improvement
It’s nice having the app to help stay on track but it’s not very intuitive or user friendly a lot of the time. When entering food, it sometimes requires a very specific way of searching the food item to find what you’re looking for. A dill pickle has to be searched for as “pickle” rather than “pickles”. You’ll never find it under the second option. If you’re entering a tomato slice, the box that has the amounts consumed (tsp, tablespoon, medium slice) won’t let you save it because the box won’t move up to hit the save button when selecting “medium slice” so you have to compromise your selection just to get something entered. Yes, you can do customized food entries but the automated system would be great if it wasn’t so weirdly specific on a number of items. It would be great if the steps tracker worked with Apple Watch. Looking forward to some app updates!

Add food to the database!
Want to love the app but if I can’t find Atkins friendly food in the database and have to add it manually, it wastes my time. Also trying to scan food is a waste as everything I have scanned so far isn’t in the database (unless it’s an Atkins product). This seems like such a basic function for a food tracker. Hugely disappointed.
Update: sick and tired of having to add food. Basic foods should be easily searchable. Just beyond awful

Bad App
Really bad app. Confusing to log food, UPC codes when scanned don’t work I have to manually add most if not all of my food. In addition, I am visually impaired and I have to have my font set at above average/large. The app does not adjusted for that in their fields.. so I have to go to my settings, make my font smaller just to log food.
Not user friendly
4/2/25: still bad. Scan doesn’t work. Does not recognize 80% of upc bars scanned. Still no updates to accessibility for visually impaired, appt does not sync to Apple iPhone settings. When logging food sometimes it will save, sometimes it won’t. Sometimes it saves and item twice 🤷♀️ I’d gladly pay a fee upfront for a good version of this app. Really disappointed it hasn’t improved much in years.

Pretty good
Needs some work on functionality. Food search is very cumbersome and frustrating.
Can’t find foods easily
I can’t find a vegetable easily, I tried looking for a tomato and I had to scroll for a good 20 seconds before I found a Roma tomato. Please make that function easier. Scanning food is also hard. A lot of the things that are in the grocery store like the prepackaged salads don’t exist on the app. All in all it keeps good track of your carbs. I used this app a long time ago and lost 30 pounds on it.

Much improved
This type of app is so very helpful. I was off tracking for a while, when I came back I found the app easier to use and I feel the carb counting food look up is much easier. I was going to track on paper this time, but this is so strong I don’t need the paper.
Limited food choices, limited features.
The interface is clunky. Limited or no search results when searching for a common food (ex: bacon wrapped jalapeños). Calories are not broken down by meal. No obvious way to import a recipe from the internet.
Password reset
The Atkinson app works fine as long as you can get inside it. For 2 days the app has not recognized my email and password. I know they are correct, I wrote them down on my list and I enter them in the log in yet the app still doesn’t recognize them. I try the forget password button, and it never sends a confirming email. For two days I have been trying. I’m going to give up and re-up as if I don’t have a membership. If it has the wrong mail or something it never confirms that. You need a better interface. For signing in when something doesn’t work.

Not all features are usable for me
I’m not able to use the recipes because I must keep my font larger and because of that, the display of the page just doesn’t work.
Hard to use
This app is very confusing. The scan feature for foods is not very good (not many foods in data base). it was very hard to enter my starting weight. I will be trying another app. I will still use the Atkins diet plan, but I am going to find another app.
The App is literally the worst.
Atkins is a great weight loss plan. Have had success using it, however the App is horrible. I must at one time had an account so WILL not let me rejoin. Won't email me back or let me reset. Ill just scratch out my meals on paper like it's the 1990's.
The recipe portion crashes
The app only shows two recipes…if I reopen it more are there and the minute I try to choose one I’m only the same two appear
Several Issues listed below
This app
Is the best low carb tracker, but in need of serious improvements. It’s free, but I would be happy to pay for this app if they made improvements. Atkins is the original and far superior to Keto, IMO
APP ISSUES:
1. No way to use app in Landscape mode or any way to force Landscape mode. It’s stuck in
Portrait mode. Please fix for iPhone and iPad. Extremely hard to use as a result.
2. Food Database is tiny compared to NutraCheck which doesn’t have a low carb option at all. I’m paying $29.99 a year to NC to flip back forth.
3. When adding a food that’s in favorites, you can’t see the total values broken out and what “per serving is,” is an ounce, two ounces, what?
4. When using recipes tab, you can’t scroll back up to the top of the recipe list once you’ve scrolled down. Recipes should also have all values broken down, per serving.
If I find more issues I’ll add them, good app, but again, I would be happy to pay for it if there were improvements. I would NOT pay for this app as is.

i can’t see any of the recipes
at first i can see plenty, then all but two recipes disappear. i keep closing and relaunching the app, and it keeps happening. very discouraging.
Use to be better
It’s been a few years since I was on Atkins and I decided to revisit and download the app again and it’s just not what I remember. It seems so much less than it used to be.
App doesn’t work correctly
Unable to enter starting data so will not be able to get any sort of reliable information.
App does not work on iPhone.

Just downloaded
Please fix the scan option! I scan my items but only the upc code populates not the name of the food.
Also, it’s 2024 and I appreciate the app being free and whatnot but Atkins could AT LEAST track our steps using our fitness devices. The other apps can read (with my permission) and write over my total count, weight, workouts, etc. but not Atkins.
At least I can use it for the Atkins diet 40. Lookie here! I’m already 45 net carbs over. In my defense, I did just download it in the evening.

Changed for the worse
I used to use this app a couple of years ago and it was great. Now it’s horrible. It is not user-friendly. You have to keep pushing the phone and pushing the phone and pushing the phone just to get something to open up so you can log something. It takes forever to find your food and log your food. It’s easier to keep track on a piece of paper than in this app. It also doesn’t scan any foods. It always says it can’t find the food but if you type the food in the search, then it comes up. I haven’t scanned one thing that is found. It used to find everything. Not anymore. Please put it back to the way it used to be.

App not working
I am attempting to enter my information but the app states 5'1" is an invalid height and won't let me proceed.
Quite frustrating
