## What is By The Gram?

### 5/5 — perfect

*2024-09-23*

I like it a lot it’s easy and just what i was looking for!!!!!

### 3/5 — Its not bad but

*2024-03-19*

There are a few problems. You can’t see your history for the week and the app often crashes when trying to delete foods. You also can’t track your weight or edit the foods you entered. 
Extremely bare bones, but does the job

### 5/5 — Great

*2023-06-07*

I wanted a app to count my protein intake and this app is perfect. It would work great if you wanted to count your other Marcos as well!

### 5/5 — Perfect app

*2023-04-01*

Exactly what I need since I weigh all my food. If only we can see the data from previous days/weeks/months as opposed to it resetting everyday. I’d probably pay 1.99 / mo for it.

### 3/5 — Almost great.

*2022-08-02*

The app does all just about right. It’s missing literally one of the most important things though. Food history. Being able to go back and look at history would take this app from “mostly ok” to “pretty dang good”. 
FFT:)

### 5/5 — Finally!

*2021-03-23*

Look no further, this is the best macro app.

### 4/5 — Missing critical feature

*2021-02-13*

Amazing app but please add a way to see your history. It helps to know how you’re doing on a daily basis. A simple date picker would be amazing.

### 5/5 — Wonderful App: A few requests

*2020-05-27*

Easily the best workflow I’ve seen for a calorie tracker, and it’s refreshing to see such an excellent UI. To anyone complaining about the lack of a database, that’s sorta the point of having a private tracker. Yeah, you end up having to put in some work adding foods, but so it goes. 

I do have a few requests that I think add value to the app. 

1.  Add in hydration tracking

2. Allow for integration with Apple Health. I realize this may run afoul if the “private” intentions, which is totally fair, but I’d certainly appreciate the integration

3. Allow us to save and enter foods by serving size rather than just grams. This would be useful for dealing with both liquid calories and with items like nutrition bars. 

Otherwise, it’s a killer piece of software. Thanks for developing it!

### 4/5 — Would pay for this if it used Apple Health

*2020-01-06*

Exactly the app I was looking for, except it doesn’t connect to HealthKit (which is also private). I would happily pay for regular updates to an app like this, it just needs that integration.

### 4/5 — Easy to use

*2019-11-21*

Quick and easy to use overall enjoy the app would like to be able to view previous days data and enter saved foods the same as quick ones
