### 3/5 — Inspiration notes

*2026-09-03, version 5.1.1*

I miss them, if I had a bad day, I would read the note and keep trying!  Please bring it back!

### 4/5 — CSA

*2026-09-03, version 5.1.1*

I love the Baritastic Tracker app. The only problem I have is with tracking my strength training. It doesn’t save my reps and weights like it used to.

### 2/5 — This Software is challenging

*2026-09-03, version 5.1.1*

Learning this software is a lot more challenging than I expected. I’m in my 60s, it’s not as easy to learn this software program as I wanted. It would be so helpful to be able to take a photo of my food and enter it later on. We went out to eat last night, buffet salad bar. I should be able to take a photo and remember what my salad looked like and enter those items… no, this program is more cumbersome than it should be.

### 3/5 — It’s a great free app

*2026-09-02, version 5.1.1*

The issues lie with creating recipes. It’s very hard to maneuver thru and make adjustments if needed.

### 4/5 — Nice App But

*2026-09-02, version 5.1.1*

You should enter more salads from fast food.  I get a Wendy’s Chicken Apple salad no cheese, no pecans.  So my enter for that is off a little bit.

### 5/5 — Love this App

*2026-09-02, version 5.1.1*

I have been using this app on my journey for 9 months and it keeps me on track

### 5/5 — Awesome App!

*2026-09-02, version 5.1.1*

This app has helped me keep detail of my daily activity, food, water, and body count in specific detail so I can follow exactly how my body is progressing. It even has great recipes! This app has been the most helpful than most other limited apps.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2026-09-02, version 5.1.1*

Love it but wish there was better ways to put in recipes, like using a screenshot of the recipe or the link

### 4/5 — Great app.

*2026-09-02, version 5.1.1*

I love this app, helps me keep track of all my food. My only complaint is there is no more flashlight on the barcode.

### 5/5 — Best Bariatric

*2026-09-01, version 5.1.1*

This app has many tools that can assist you with your nutritional goals on your bariatric journey- it’s helped me a bunch!

### 5/5 — Love this

*2026-09-01, version 5.1.1*

Honestly the best tracking app I have ever used. I am currently on day 148 of tracking without missing a meal at the time of posting this. It is targeted towards bariatric patients which I am, however I feel everyone could get good use of this. Give it a shot!

### 5/5 — Good app

*2026-09-01, version 5.1.1*

Nice customizable reminders and recipes provided as well

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2026-09-01, version 5.1.1*

A+

### 5/5 — MMB

*2026-09-01, version 5.1.1*

Love this app!!!

### 5/5 — No better tool

*2026-09-01, version 5.1.1*

I love this app tracking is so intuitive and easy!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-09-01, version 5.1.1*

This app I’ve had now since just before my bariatric surgery in 2019. It has been extremely helpful and easy to use

### 5/5 — Baritastic Tracking tool

*2026-09-01, version 5.1.1*

What a great tool for helping those in their pre and post Bariatric surgery. Easy to use and I love the barcode scanning feature to add different foods and vitamins. You can easily setup the home screen to display whatever data you may want to track. 
Highly recommended!
This app definitely keeps me on track post Bariatric surgery

### 5/5 — Big help!

*2026-09-01, version 5.1.1*

I’m very happy with this app

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2026-08-31, version 5.1.1*

This tracker is very well designed and easy to use for food logging, water, and vitamin tracking, and logging weights. I like the daily note section so I can monitor night snacking. By far the easiest and most complete app I've used for calorie tracking.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — App is not remembering foods added

*2026-09-01, version 5.1.1*

Tapping previous menu items from previous days are difficult.  Have to CLICK the circle just right. 

Also the app is not saving the information that we enter into our food choices, such as the amount of food that we’re eating at that specific meal it revert back to maybe a whole meal and instead of a slice, as a example. It’s very frustrating to have to go back and re-enter your food choices, and their quantity that you might eat on a daily basis.

### 1/5 — Entering food items from previous days

*2026-08-24, version 5.1.1*

Tapping previous menu items from previous days are difficult.  Have to CLICK the circle just right.

### 1/5 — June 2026 Update Sucks

*2026-08-05, version 5.1.0*

This app used to be stable and worked well, now it lags and nothing makes sense in the search function. This sucks, I want the one that worked back.

### 1/5 — Clunky

*2026-08-01, version 5.1.0*

Hard to add recipes and clunky. About the only easy thing about this app is changing the time stamp on your meals. Other than that this app is awful and I only use it because Kaiser can link to it.

### 1/5 — Most recent update is abysmal!

*2026-07-25, version 5.1.0*

Been using this app for over 6 years and have always loved it but the most recent update has made it nearly unusable.  The font has become so small I can barely read it or hit the teeny tiny radio buttons.  I am visually impaired and this is a very very dismaying UI change that has completely tanked my opinion of the app.

Worse yet, however normal foods have all but disappeared from the search function.  Before I could easily find something like "Starbucks latte" or "honey roasted peanut butter" but now the results return nothing even close.

### 1/5 — Ok

*2026-07-07, version 5.0.9*

Won’t track steps as calories anymore. Contacted company multiple times and they say they are working on it. That was several months ago with no improvement

### 1/5 — Recent Update

*2026-06-28, version 5.0.9*

Update 6/28: no longer syncs with scale. At this point this app is useless for me.

Whatever updates was pushed made things more difficult to log weight.

Fix that and I will fix the rate!

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2026-06-26, version 5.0.9*

Terrible upgrade, nothing comes up anymore unless you have the bar code. You enter an item and a bunch of completely differed foods show up. Very frustrating. I preferred the app before the last upgrade

### 1/5 — Inconsistent and inconvenient

*2026-06-24, version 5.0.9*

I have to delete and re-add my  tracking device everyday or the app will not record my exercise. It does this strange time keeping where it measures to the hundred-thousandth of a second. I only use this app because the nutritionist requires the app. I use a second app for personal use.

### 1/5 — Worst app ever?

*2026-06-18, version 5.0.9*

Would give 0 stars if I could

Fantastic app and experience so far. Highly recommend.

### 5/5 — Great Tool

*2026-09-03, version 5.1.1*

I have tried many tools to track my calories, protein, water etc. but have found this to be the easiest one to use. I love it and now track everyday.

### 5/5 — Hi

*2026-09-03, version 5.1.1*

Great app to be able to tracked your progress and make sure your goals are met and achieved

### 5/5 — All in one App

*2026-09-03, version 5.1.1*

I love this App, tracks everything I need in one location. I don’t have to flip through multiple apps to track all my needs! Also, extracting the information for nutrition classes is easy as well!

### 5/5 — Helpful

*2026-09-03, version 5.1.1*

I use it everyday and it helps me to stay on track and accountable for my goals

### 5/5 — Highly recommend

*2026-09-02, version 5.1.1*

This app is so easy to use. I had my bariatric surgery years ago and due to medical conditions gain some of the weight back.  I’m using this just to keep track of the protein versus fat.  User-friendly. Highly recommend.

### 5/5 — What a great App

*2026-09-02, version 5.1.1*

This a great app for tracking all your food.  It’s easy to use

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2026-09-02, version 5.1.1*

I’ve use other apps for intake of foods eaten and this is the best one yet. The break down of nutrition, vitamins and protein intake is very helpful. The fact that I can add exercise variations is fantastic.

### 5/5 — Best bariatric app

*2026-09-02, version 5.1.1*

Really great App
