## What is Calcium Counter and Tracker?

Use this app to avoid calcium deficiency, which is common if you are on a vegan, milk-free or weightloss diet or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Deficiency results in osteoporosis with weakened fracture-prone bones and loose teeth, impaired muscle function with muscle cramps and spasms, dry skin, and brittle hair and nails. In addition, women under 55 years of age who have a higher calcium intake have been found to have a lower risk of bowel cancer.
Set your target daily calcium intake based on guidance provided in the app and your preferences for weights of food (g or oz). 
Record food and beverage consumption using the barcode scanner (please note that only manufacturers in the US are required to include calcium content in the nutrition label read by the scanner), dictation, search or by favoriting foods and using the serving sizes provided (which can be changed at any time). Tap the notepad to add notes. Compare the calcium content of diffferent foods by tapping the Compare button on the "Foods" screen.
Monitor daily and long-term progress, export data to share with healthcare providers, synchronize data with other First Line Medical Communications Ltd nutrient counter apps, and share data with Apple's HealthKit. 
Add your own foods and recipes and change serving sizes to personalize the app's 400-item database for you.
All food and beverage popups indicate whether the item is a plant, good prebiotic, probiotic or ultra-processed food (UPF) to inform a healthy diet and whether they are high or low FODMAP per serving where data are available to support people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). 
Useful lists show calcium content of foods per 1oz or 100g and serving, which can be toggled from high to low & low to high. Also useful UPF, unprocessed plant, prebiotic, probiotic, high & low FODMAP food lists.

### 1/5 — Upgrade killed the app

*2026-07-19*

Last update to app on 7/17/26 totally messed everything up.  I can no longer use impossible to figure out.  To bad was east to track calcium I take now it’s just not worth it.   Adios!!!

**Developer response:** There was a minor bug in the upgrade that affected calcium values for foods added to the app by users of previous versions of the app. We identified it and fixed it immediately and the app now works perfectly but you need the update available on the App Store version 3.0.2.

### 1/5 — Terrible Update

*2026-07-19*

It was very easy to use then they updated it. I’m going to delete the app right now.

**Developer response:** There was a minor bug in the upgrade that affected calcium values for foods added to the app by users of previous versions of the app. We identified it and fixed it immediately and the app now works perfectly but you need the update available on the App Store version 3.0.2.

### 1/5 — What happened

*2026-07-18*

App just totally changed on its own and lost my data

**Developer response:** There was a minor bug in the upgrade that affected calcium values for foods added to the app by users of previous versions of the app. We identified it and fixed it immediately and the app now works perfectly but you need the update available on the App Store version 3.0.2.

### 3/5 — Calcium values need to be stated in mg not just %

*2026-03-25*

If I add or search for a food item I want to see HOW MANY mg Calcium are IN THAT item/ amount. NOT just percentages. It is too difficult to double-check percentages. Developers please take a look at Protein Pal App to see how a streamlined food app can work.

**Developer response:** You are seeing percentages because you chose %target rather than mg in the settings for display of quantities. Toggle to mg in settings and you'll get the mg. Meanwhile, we are about to release a major upgrade for all our apps with a new easier-to-use interface, on-screen help files, and the ability to see a lot more detail (including mg and percentage) on screens. All upgrades are free for everyone who has paid the one-off fee for each app or app bundle.

### 1/5 — Not easy to use

*2026-01-27*

Despite the fact this tracker has an area where you can enter your own foods to the list when you click on them, there is no way to add them to your daily count. The daily counter is not easy to use. The list of calcium foods to choose from is very limited. This app needs a lot of work in order to be user-friendly.

**Developer response:** An inability to add an added food to your daily count suggests it hasn't been saved to the database. Meanwhile, we are about to release a major upgrade for all our apps with a new easier-to-use interface, on-screen help files, and the ability to see a lot more detail on screens.

### 2/5 — Agree it’s a bit clunky

*2025-07-31*

I agree with another review that indicates this is a bit clunky to use. It feels very rigid; not allowing for easy changes in the amount of food you are trying to record. Also, one of the biggest issues is that the foods high in calcium are written in purple and are almost impossible to read.  I don’t understand a developer not seeing this as problematic.

**Developer response:** The app must know how much your different servings of food (eg slice, cup, portion) weigh to calculate your daily calcium intake in mg. So you need to provide the app with that information when requested. You will then be able to add and then see calcium content per serving (eg slice, cup, portion) rather than per ounce or 100g of your food. The app is consistent and the same process will apply to all foods the first time you add them to the app. Alternatively you can use the app's 400-item database and serving sizes provided, which is very straightforward.

### 2/5 — Kilojoules please

*2024-11-06*

I purchased this in the bundle to track my daily calcium levels and discovered that everything is in calories. Good for US users but not for people in countries that use the metric system. Yes you can choose between grams and ounces but most of the measures are in kCal and not kJ.

**Developer response:** This review appears to relate to the calorie counter not the calcium counter.

### 1/5 — Calculator did NOT work

*2024-07-12*

I spent some time trying to make the caluculator work.  If I wanted to manually calculate and track my calcium intake, an excel spreadsheet would be much easier.

AS for, "it worked for you"  It didn't for me despite giving it a try on Safari and Chrome.  

Last - 16 steps to make the app work - really!

### 1/5 — Truly terrible

*2024-06-25*

Not intuitive.   Used scanner and Cheerios comes up with 0 data. Tried to manually fix it. Nothing worked. If you can’t even get through breakfast it’s time to delete the app

**Developer response:** Cheerios is on the Open Food Facts database, so surprised the scanner came up with 0 data. Please contact us at support@firstlinemedicalcommunications.co.uk and we will help you add Cheerios to the database. Guidance is also provided at the top of the Info tab screen in the "How to use the app"  instructions "10. Add food". Once you become familiar with using the app, it becomes very straightforward and quick to log daily intake.

### 3/5 — What? No bagels, swiss cheese,etc?

*2024-04-11*

Lots of 
Common foods are missing here! For comparison see a weight watchers food list! Even with its ausralian biasnwhen used in NZ it is far more complete. Granola, corn chips, bagels, sourdough, tortilla or wraps, etc etc

**Developer response:** Over 70 new items (including those mentioned by this reviewer) have been added to the app's database for those not using the barcode scanner, so there are now over 400 items color-coded for plants, prebiotics, probiotics, and ultra-processed foods to support a healthy gut microbiome diet. This update (2.11.6), like all updates for the app, is free.
