Ffff

I don’t like how it’s paid. I really wanted to be free. I have an idea where you can make a free one, but it’s half of the app.

New ring update

Second the review below!!! Please get rid of it I don’t care about my macros, it’s unmotivating to see my rings turn red when I met my calorie goal for the day

Why do I need a subscription for this?

Why do I need a subscription to use this application?

Please get rid of the new ring color system

Writing my first ever review to ask you to please get rid of the new ring color system. I just want the rings to track my calories, I don’t care if it thinks I’m eating too man carbs.

Glitch in App

App worked great until today when the way the app rated a red, yellow and green days changed. Hope the developers correct whatever they changed. Will not be renewing in its current state.

Please fix and push through the patch or revert back to the last model that worked.

Gift offer glitch

Everytime I open this otherwise perfect app, I get an offer to lower my membership cost but it charges me every time. It’s probably a glitch but it’s annoying and dangerous because you’re made to think that you’ll be saving money.

Pretty good

If you have known information such as calories per gram or a barcode or it’s already in the database it does exceptionally well however, you can scan the same item 3 different times and get three entirely different percentage so I think it still needs some work. Also, for the first two or three days after every update, it’s like it forgets how to do its job and then it’ll randomly start working again.

Paid

Stuck on a pay screen

Very bad search feature

I like the app but the search feature is so bad it’s almost unusable. When I type in food in the search bar it brings up unrelated food. If that changes this would be a 5 star review

Health score inaccurate

Today for an example, I have 1000 spare calories for the day, 17grams of fat left and 30 grams of protein left and the health score is trying to say that I’ve exceeded all 3 of them and gives me a 5. On top of that the food scanning is barely ever correct (which I understand would be hard)

Glitching

The app is not correctly documenting fiber amounts, which makes me wonder what else it’s not even close. One avocado, four slices of a whole wheat toast on this app is only equal to 7 g of fiber

Impossible to use

Using the app free is virtually impossible every time I press the plus button to track my macros it makes me sign up for the free trial. Once I cancel the free trial and it expires the whole cycle repeats it self where I must sign up for it again to be able to track calories.

Misleading practices, robbed me

Said 3 day trial and then $19 annually yet charged me $19 immediately for an app that doesn’t allow me to add multiple ingredients at once… Insane.

good but buggy

very helpful and effective, love the easy methods to add food. however some bugs are really irritating and need to be fixed; for example sometimes my workouts just disappear or do not sync from apple health. sometimes even if i am well under my calorie limit the circle shows as red. and sometimes when im searching up foods by the exact label or brand name, they don’t come up even though they are in the database. overall it’s a great app, just hope they fix these bugs!

Down 76 lbs. Worth every penny.

This app has done wonders for me! I started at 248 pounds and am now down to 172. I was pretty strict with my diet initially, consistently losing around 1.5–2 pounds per week. Over time, tracking my calories became second nature.

Cal AI makes tracking food incredibly convenient, and I think it’s well worth the subscription price. I also frequently used ChatGPT to double-check calorie and macro estimates, especially with meals that were harder to measure. The two worked really well together.

I’m in the best shape I’ve been in—possibly ever! I couldn’t be happier with my progress. It’s been money well spent!

Pouco intuitivo

O app está apenas meio traduzido para português
Além disso ele não é intuitivo e não tem alentos básicos de consumo

1 big issue

You cannot download your data. That’s lame.

Great app for Calorie tracking and weight loss

Cal AI has been a game changer for me! I’ve lost 50 pounds using this app, and it’s made tracking my food and staying accountable so much easier. I love how simple and convenient it is to use. It’s helped me build better habits and stay consistent without feeling overwhelmed. Definitely worth it!

I like it generally

I find it to not be real accurate. I think it usually underestimates the calories. I have to resolve issues always.

Disappointed

I’m really disappointed with Cal AI. I’m already paying for the app, and I chose the more expensive Family plan because I wanted to get the most out of it.

After missing a couple of days of logging my calories, my streak went back to zero. I had built up a good streak, and now, if I want to get back to where I was, I have to pay again.

I honestly don’t see how that’s fair when I’m already paying for a subscription. Since this happened, I don’t even feel like using the app anymore.

When my current subscription comes to an end, I won’t be renewing it. I feel like this is less about helping users and more about finding ways to make extra money $$$$ from them. It’s disappointing, especially for someone who was already paying for the more expensive Family plan.
