### 2/5 — Review

*2026-09-02*

I find that this app is good for certain things to scan but obviously is not able to judge thickness of bread etc so gives a calorie count for a sliced piece of bread , obv not able to tell if whole milk on cereal etc so gives calorie count for semi skimmed , it has given me an accurate calorie count for my sachet coffee which is 60 cals only to give me a calorie count of 2 cals the following day . We had a roast dinner , my husband had a bigger portion yet his calorie count was lower than mine , on the whole I don’t think this app is particularly accurate.

### 4/5 — Helpful

*2026-09-02, version 1.2.74*

The app has really helped me watch things related to my food choices and eating habits.

### 4/5 — Typical Daily User

*2026-08-31, version 1.2.74*

Program doesn’t seem to keep relative similar and consistent entries from prior entries readily collated for easier search.  

Program does NOT recognize in search data base typical routine national products data base or continues to offer locations restaurants and chain info not available in our area and not chosen for prior meals.

Fitness Pal has way  better database, but doesn’t have the cool easy scan feature which is great.

*2026-08-31*

I have used many apps over the years for weight loss but Calo has been the best Tracker I have ever used.  To be able to just take a pic saves me time on top of monitoring my progress on the day . So happy to say I have lost 40 pounds in 112 days !!

Just got this app to help with my weight loss and being a senior I’m so impressed how easy it is to use and navigate. I need the protein and calorie amount in the foods I choose and make sure I drink plenty of water this app helps me with these.

### 5/5 — S.Erulgen

Probably the best calorie tracker in 2026. Even some medical professionals were impressed. I wish they add tracking BM as well.

### 5/5 — Food counter

*2026-08-30, version 1.2.74*

It’s always nice to have your food calories counted for you.  This is an excellent tool to use.

### 5/5 — My calorie counter

*2026-08-30, version 1.2.74*

The calorie counter is perfect. It’s just that I’m still in the overheated mode learning how to control that.

### 5/5 — Accurate

*2026-08-30, version 1.2.74*

Surprisingly Accurate

### 1/5 — Loss of Trial Period Scam

*2026-08-27, version 1.2.74*

Buyers beware.  I was checking out Calo and it offered a 7 day trial.  I decided not to even do the trial, and then it offered the subscription at 1/2 the price. I gave it a try thinking I still had a 7 day trial period, but that was apparently taken off the table with the discount.  I was immediately charged.  I was not impressed by the app but was unable to cancel and Apple denied a refund request.

### 1/5 — Wanted money back as promised

*2026-08-26, version 1.2.74*

Doesn’t work.  Didn’t loose a pound

### 1/5 — Propaganda enganosa

*2026-08-24*

Me senti enganada. Cancelei a assinatura imediatamente após ter feito e mesmo assim o valor ainda consta no meu cartão. Já cancelei a assinatura conforme a orientação de vocês no aplicativo e mesmo assim o valor não foi estornado.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-08-22, version 1.2.74*

This app is terrible the food scanner gets everything wrong and when compared to the macros it's calculating every 100s of calories higher !!!! I want a refund .

### 1/5 — There’s no free trial scam

*2026-08-19, version 1.2.74*

I signed up for the free trial for seven days and got charged $ 20, so I canceled and never got my money back scam.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-08-18, version 1.2.74*

App said there was a 7 day free trial but they charged me a full year from day one. When I cancelled the subscription within 24hrs I was told my subscription would end in a year’s time. My credit card has been charged. No mention of a refund for the year I haven’t used.

### 1/5 — Terrible Ap. Don’t waste your money

*2026-08-17, version 1.2.73*

Much of the stored information is very wrong. Plus they charged me for a whole year when I only wanted to try it month by month. I didn’t even approve a full year. I feel robbed and cheated. I wrote them. No reply. I will never ever get anything through Apple Ap again.

### 1/5 — AI Scanning food lasted 1 day

*2026-08-09, version 1.2.73*

App only allowed me to use AI scanning for 24 hours. After that it wanted me to buy a subscription. 
No thanks.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work well

*2026-08-07, version 1.2.73*

So far everything I’ve taken a picture of has been wrong from ingredients to calories. The app told me a St Germain Spritzer was almost 500 calories. (It’s 115). It also couldn’t tell shrimp from chicken. It doesn’t work well at restaurants so you’re still stuck guessing the calories and nutrition facts. 

Update: It’s been over a month and it’s about as much work trying to get the scans to be correct vs just adding it yourself. Still not very impressed. 

60 day update: don’t pay for this app. I took 3 separate pictures of the same cookie and got 3 different calorie counts. SMH

Update 255 days in. Still works poorly. It doesn’t learn from previous entries. Terrible app.

Update 331 days in. Still don’t like the app, still doesn’t give accurate info, is glitchy with its daily tracking so the app definitely has bugs to work out. 34 more days and I’ll be rid of the subscription.
