Aber brauchbar. *2026-08-07* Der Trainer ist nicht wirklich gut. Es werden häufig falsche Werte übernommen, geantwortet in einem Tempo, so schnell kann ich die Mengen überhaupt nicht anpassen bzw. aussuchen. Und täglich bekomme ich mindestens ein mal eine Antwort in chinesischer Schrift.(fun fakt: ich kann kein chinesisch!) Die Datenbank wird von jedem gefüttert und die Statistik ist deshalb sehr mit Vorsicht zu genießen, da viele Angaben falsch und/oder unvollständig sind. Deutsche Maßeinheiten wären super, da es zeitweise zum vollzeitjob ausartet alle Lebensmittel einzeln zu recherchieren und zu korrigieren. Bisher hatte ich beim scannen des Codes einen einzigen Treffer, was jedoch durch das scannen der Nährstoffangaben, was halbwegs funktioniert, kompensiert werden kann. Die Fotos meiner fertigen Gerichte nutze ich nicht mehr, da das überhaupt nicht funktioniert hat. Harzer Käse mit Hähncheninnenfiletstreifen auf Salat, wurde konsequent als Kartoffeln mit Spinat und Schweinegeschnätzeltem erkannt, sogar als ich die Verpackungen gut sichtbar mit auf dem Foto hatte! Essen gehen ist also nicht möglich, wo ich nicht die Zutaten- & Nährwertlisten der Einzelkomponenten zur Verfügung habe. ### 4/5 — Survey *2026-07-30, version 1.9.3* Some questions was not sure what to answer. A bit more help would have been of use. ### 4/5 — New User *2026-07-22, version 1.9.3* Getting on well with the app, but so far it has failed to read any nutritional info from bar codes ### 2/5 — Calorie counts *2026-07-18, version 1.9.2* Not always on target. My black coffee is not 120 calories ### 4/5 — Schon sehr gut *2026-07-17* Das Programm ist schon sehr gut und erkennt Speisen mit der KI sehr genau. Was mir persönlich fehlt, sind deutsche Maßangaben wie zum Beispiel Liter. Außerdem wäre es toll, wenn man etwas vergisst, einzugeben man nachträglich noch die Uhrzeit einstellen könnte. Wenn man die Speise oder das Getränk zu sich genommen hat. ### 3/5 — Worrisome app *2026-07-11, version 1.9.2* My fear with apps like these is the majority of people who will use them will be those with eating disorders. We know how fastidious those suffering with Anorexia/bullimia are about their food intake so why are these suddenly flooding the market. I truly pray it won’t be something regrettable. ### 3/5 — Avis pro *2026-07-09* Il y a beaucoup d’erreurs dans les données essayer de devenir professionnel Par exemple je prends melon et vous dites cholestérol C’est pourtant d’une simplicité, le cholestérol, c’est appliqué à tout ce qui est animal ### 2/5 — Buggy Ai coach *2026-07-08, version 1.9.1* The health coach portion of this app gives terrible advice and recommendations. Calories counted are completely irrelevant to what you actually input and it argues back that you are wrong or does circular reasoning instead of correcting mistakes. If I ate what this app tells me to I would be eating just 1000 calories for breakfast alone. The interactions with the ai health coach are nothing less than frustrating . The meal scan, barcode scan and manual entry are great. Waste of money for what it is being offered. ### 3/5 — No free trial *2026-07-07, version 1.9.1* The App Store didn't say anything about this app having In-App Purchases. So I filled out all the personal information in the app and all they offered were paid subscriptions. Deceptive. ### 4/5 — Abonnement *2026-07-03* Tout allait pour le mieux mais J’ai résilié mon abonnement pour qu’il ne se renouvelle pas en février 2027 . Je ne pensais pas perdre les options qui vont avec immédiatement 😡 impossible de le récupérer sans repayer 😡 ### 2/5 — This app is not accurate *2026-07-01, version 1.9.0* It doesn’t cater for ethnic minorities or the British brands it’s very American. Very disappointed that it didn’t state this before I paid a year upfront. Apps need to be transparent it also doesn’t give you enough activities housework doesn’t cover everything standing cooking cleaning babysitting I’m stuck at home so my jobs are limited and this app doesn’t cater for this ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Says it is free it is Not *2026-08-17, version 1.9.5* It says it is free when you open the application it is monthly or yearly amounts ???? Don’t want to pay even if it is 0$ don’t trust even if it Is a good application ### 1/5 — This is not free as advertised *2026-08-14, version 1.9.5* Only free trial very misleading ### 1/5 — Wrong readings *2026-08-12, version 1.9.4* I have used this for some time but the other day I purchased a single meal from Tesco when I scanned it the app said 815. Cal but the barcode said 369cal so I don’t trust it anymore ### 1/5 — Don’t buy unless your in America *2026-08-04, version 1.9.3* Worse thing I have ever brought didn’t tell me its American and nothing works in uk tried barcodes don’t work, tried manually putting in don’t work. Want my money back ### 1/5 — High pressure sell *2026-07-30, version 1.9.3* The app may work well, don’t know, never got to try it. It’s behind a pay wall. So it’s “free” on the App Store, but insists you buy access at US$6.66 a month. Then you get offered a 80% discount to pay just $3.33 per month. Interesting calculation, but it’s the typical high pressure sale…. Make a ridiculous offer, then offer half price as a once off. Maybe the price is ok, don’t know, didn’t get to try it. High pressure subscription sales without a trial leave me stone cold. ### 1/5 — CaloCare Sucks *2026-07-29, version 1.9.3* I was very disappointed when I recently purchased and used CaloCare. Its calculations were inaccurate and the app was not user friendly. I was unable to easily choose the food I wanted to add to my daily intake, and that led to inaccurate assessments. I wish I could get my money back. Total waste. Bitter? You bet. ### 1/5 — Not free at all! *2026-07-19, version 1.9.2* Fifty pounds per annum! ### 1/5 — Not worth the money *2026-07-10, version 1.9.1* No way to input recipes, had a dense bean salad with chicken for lunch, said fibre was zero. Calculates calories much higher than other apps, so not accurate. Overall, not worth the money. ### 1/5 — Misleading ad *2026-07-04, version 1.9.1* The ad says Free, then they ask for money to use. Misleading and I will delete immediately. ### 1/5 — Easy to subscribe for a year by mistake *2026-06-16, version 1.8.8* Be careful. You think the app is free but before you know it you’ve paid £35 for a years subscription. Although it says “cancel at any time” the minimum is 12 months and once paid you will not be able to get any back. Cancelling it just means it doesn’t renew after 12 months. Dry misleading! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Prequel to a healthier me *2026-08-18, version 1.9.5* I was just scrolling on my iPad, came across this app and decided to give it a try. I have read all the relevant information and I’m looking forward to snapping those photos of what I eat. I think I need to keep myself out of the photos though, as my tacit aim is to lose weight and look more presentable in photographs. I’ll see how I go. I will be opening a sequel to the sprinkle once I have experienced the full benefits of calorie control ### 5/5 — Urgent requirement *2026-08-14, version 1.9.5* As above I need to do this from today onwards ### 5/5 — Arnaque *2026-08-09* La publicité annonce un compteur de calories gratuit mais en VÉRITÉ si on ne s’abonne pas ça ne fonctionne pas ! ### 5/5 — Newbie *2026-08-07, version 1.9.3* Only just downloaded, it’s good that it’s free, usually find you go through and then have to choose a payment plan ### 5/5 — So easy *2026-07-26, version 1.9.3* Keeps me on track and I am really striving to get my daily protein in so I love that it tracks not only calories, but protein, carbs, and fats as well. Used every day since I got it. It’s addicting!! ### 5/5 — Mumfit *2026-07-19, version 1.9.2* Very helpful thank you ### 5/5 — Perte de poids *2026-07-09* Espère une grande aide pour perdre du poids rapidement ### 5/5 — CaloCare AI used for 8 months *2026-07-09, version 1.9.1* Excellent app have used this to control daily calorie intake. Imagine without this we have been consuming without considering the intake. So in my case I have selected 1800 daily cal with moderate exercise daily. It has worked very well and helped me initially to reduce my weight and more recently controlling this and maintain. Further, the diet recommendations are good and well balanced. You can select the pattern of intake between carbs, fibre and protein to suit your requirement. Daily meal scan of the food is great and makes you conscience of our eating habits being changed. Overall, no hesitation to recommend this app it can help to change our diet pattern and discipline of why foods to avoid. Thank you CaloCare. ### 5/5 — Gute Erkennung/keine Bevormundung *2026-07-01* Sehr gute Tracking App. Auf Fotos wird erstaunlich gut erkannt, um welches Essen es sich handelt. Auch die anderen Möglichkeiten zur Erfassung wie “gesprochene Eingabe” sowie “Nährwertangabe” funktioniert super. Am Besten gefällt mir aber, dass man nicht dauernd erinnert/bevormundet wird, irgendwelche Ziele zu erreichen. Einfach gut um zu dokumentieren und damit automatisch das Bewusstsein für Nährwerte zu erweitern. ### 5/5 — Add manual entry *2026-06-27, version 1.8.9* The AI food recognition is pretty good, but it cannot always see all the ingredients. I have calculated the calories for my breakfast (same every day) and I want to manually correct the calorie count after the photo recognition. Add the ability to override the calories manually. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
