Upgrade killed the app
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!!!
Terrible Update
It was very easy to use then they updated it. I’m going to delete the app right now.
What happened
App just totally changed on its own and lost my data
Calcium values need to be stated in mg not just %
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.
Not easy to use
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.

Agree it’s a bit clunky
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.

Kilojoules please
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.
Calculator did NOT work
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!

Truly terrible
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
What? No bagels, swiss cheese,etc?
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

Response from developer
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.
Good tracker
Easy to use. Great improvement to the scan bar code feature making it a lot easier and accurate to use. I had to contact support a few times after getting the apps they were quick to respond with clear instructions.
Very clunky
The app is just too difficult to use. It doesn’t have a barcode database so when you scan it brings you to what it considers is the closest thing in its database so you have to spend time customizing its numbers to match the calcium content on the label. Or you enter everything yourself. Other apps simply allow you to scan; is that to difficult/expensive for these developers? I could go on about the problems. Listen to the reviewers, as I should have done, skip this one.

Awful soo
Awful app. Very frustrating to use. Many items don’t scan, database doesn’t include brands, calculations don’t work. Would never recommend this app to others whether free or purchase.
Pretty poor if you live in the uk
Database is very basic. None of the foods I scanned registered. Don’t like the way you add foods, not intuitive to use at all.
Maybe ok in America but I deleted after less than a day.
Easier to just Google calcium in foods and add up with a calculator frankly. Waste of £2.45

Do not buy would like my money back
I did not see many reviews, so I took a chance and purchased this app. I’m sorry I did. I could get past the horrible user interface if it worked better. Almost nothing in the database is available by barcode scan, so everything has to be input manually. Even then the tracking is not good enough. Will be deleting this app – I would rather try to manually then use it.

Do not buy!
Very complicated, limited data, not intuitive, not updated for latest iOS and phones. Waste of money.
Save your money
The food database in this app is too small. Of the first 10 foods I searched for, only 2 were available in the database. Even common foods such as soy milk, baked beans and sourdough bread are not listed. I should have saved my 3 bucks.
Lots of good information
Loses a star because, while the graph is really useful, the setting is only male or female and the daily recommended intake is different depending on your age, so this can mislead. Good range of foods to choose from. A colourful, informative and nice to use app. I set my intake on another app and bear it in mind when using this one.

Needs more foods added
Very basic. Adequate but many foods are not listed, even many that are high in calcium. You end up having to choose the closest match.
Rubbish
Need to track calcium as dairy intolerant. No soya milk or soya products. Poor list of foods. Waste of money and time so don't buy.
