### 5/5 — Works perfectly

*2023-11-20, version 10.1*

It’s a simple app that does what it’s supposed to do. It’s very helpful to keep me on track.

### 5/5 — Love this app, hope it’s still being developed

*2023-04-27*

It allows me to track weight loss without constantly stepping on the scale. It hasn’t been updated in a while. I really hope it sticks around. There’s no other app with this functionality.

### 3/5 — Apple Watch complication doesn’t work

*2022-09-25, version 9.2*

Good but Apple Watch face complication does not refresh - quite useless and misleading

### 1/5 — Wish I could get my money back

*2022-04-14, version 9.2*

This has not done anything it’s said it would do. It doesn’t sync and I cannot load the health data like it shows through Apple Health.

### 4/5 — Does not read data correctly

*2022-01-05, version 9.2*

I was looking for exactly this type of app - one that reads the active energy, resting energy and substracts dietary energy. In theory the app would be perfect except: it does not read today’s resting energy… It uses yesterday’s resting value and adds it to today’s active -> makes the app completely useless. Sorry devs!
———-
Update: changed rating based on dev response, now I get it, thank you!

### 5/5 — Exactly what I need!

*2021-11-28, version 9.2*

I needed a simple overview of my daily and weekly caloric deficit / surplus. I was experimenting with shortcuts and excel sheets. But both didn’t work the way I wanted them to. This app offers exactly what I need. Very simple and intuitive display of my calories. It’d be nice bonus feature if I could also track my weight.

### 3/5 — Like it but watch widget not working

*2021-10-05, version 9.0*

Great tool to see what caloric deficit or surplus is on watch but recently all it shows is 4 dashes on widget. App on phone works but mainly got this for watch app. Hopefully it gets resolved

### 1/5 — Sort of useful

*2021-09-18, version 9.0*

I can’t really understand the data. I think every “level” I achieve should be a pound lost. However it says I am on level 18, and I am no where close to losing 18 pounds. I do t know what it’s using for energy expenditure or if it’s just guessing. I know the food is correct. I over enter calories just in case I am not entering it correctly. Also the goal needs to be more clear. I have a 500 deficit set up in my goal. But no where in the trends does it mention making my goal or not. Very confusing. But once the app makes more sense and is more user friendly, this could be a great weight loss tool.

### 4/5 — Genau was ich gesucht habe

*2021-08-15, version 9.0*

Errechnet Defizit aus Bewegung und Nahrungsenergie und zeigt verbleibende bzw. extra verbrauchte Kalorien an. Summiert Gesamt-Defizit auf, man levelt mit jedem Pfund auf, was sehr motivierend ist. Übrigens auch geeignet für Leute die zunehmen müssen.

So einfach wie perfekt, kein unnützer Schnickschnack. Noch ein paar kleine Fehler drin, refresh ist meist verzögert, aber alles erträglich. Wenn noch eine QuickAdd-Funktion direkt auf der Watch kommt kann ich meine andere App dafür entfernen und erhöhe auf 5!

### 5/5 — Omg thank you

*2021-07-02, version 9.0*

I’ve been looking for an app like this for many years. Finally an app that shows the true net calories and not just activity calories!! Perfect for calories in and calories out diet!
