Works perfectly

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

Love this app, hope it’s still being developed

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.

Apple Watch complication doesn’t work

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

Wish I could get my money back

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.

Hi Alexis, Sorry to hear this has been your experience with CaliCalo. If you're still having trouble with the app feel free to email us at support@base11studios.com. We'd love to help ensure the app is working as expected for you.

Does not read data correctly

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!

Exactly what I need!

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.

Like it but watch widget not working

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

Hi Ben, I believe we already spoke on email, but the complication should be fixed in version 9.1 which is available now.

Sort of useful

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.

Hello, That does seem a bit odd. Can you please email us at support@base11studios.com and we'd be happy to help you make sense of the data in CaliCalo.

Genau was ich gesucht habe

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!

Omg thank you

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!

Glad you're enjoying the app!

Good but 1 problem on watch

If I put more calories (diet intake) than active + rest then the app on watch bugs out and don't update the compilation on watch face. Instead of giving negative value total crash and doesn't update at all the rest works perfect

App watch face doesn’t update

Not happy with how the watch face complication doesn’t update

Works great, but weekly trend could be better

I like this app, integrates well with Apple Health and MFP. Small update that would make this better is if you could customize the weekly start day. Currently it only starts on Sunday.

Doesn’t sync with my Apple Watch anymore

I like the app but it doesn’t sync with my watch anymore. It’s a bit annoying.

Confusing

I don’t completely understand how to use this app. I just want to compare if I have a deficit for the week on caloric intake by this seems to do something else. Maybe I just need more time to figure it out.

Not so great

The widget on the watch is ALWAYS incorrect, even when I refresh/sync it manually. It seems like it screws up when I go over a target? I’m not sure, I can’t figure out what it’s problem is… unfortunately, this is the main reason for getting this app.

👍

Very useful app to bring visibility into your daily calorie deficit/surplus. The only improvement would be an iOS 14 widget - any chance of getting it soon? 🙂

Was great when it worked for a few minutes

Loved it and did exactly what I wanted it to do. Downloaded it this morning. Hasn’t updated my burned calories since then. Linked and unlinked to Apple health, refreshed, everything. Oh well

Great Functionality but One Weird Thing

I love this app, it’s able to show me my progress to date as well as my progress towards the next pound loss which is very motivating. My
only critique would be that every time I click home the “Daily Target” pops back up and Is back at 0 despite me setting it before (multiple times). Can’t seem to get this to stop happening and be able to set it to whatever deficit (or surplus) I want and not have it keep popping up and resetting. If the developer has any insight I would be curious! Overall great app

Hi! We’re glad you’re enjoying the app. We had someone else have a similar issue but haven’t been able to reproduce it ourselves. We suggested a full uninstall and reinstall for that user but have not heard back as to whether or not it was a success. Have you tried that? Feel free to use any of the contact us options in the app to reach out for further troubleshooting!
