Sometimes it works but every time (except the first time) it does not show the live image of the item you are scanning in the app, but a still photo of the last item you scanned. Eato is not perfect but it has a better scanner. ### 3/5 — App is crashing *2024-11-17* Needs to have a way to provide only write access to new photos and not see/read existing photos in gallery. ### 3/5 — Needs Improvement *2024-11-09, version 5.418* I love this app The only issue is the steps not being updated and it affects the calories calculation ### 4/5 — Please add dark mode *2024-10-09, version 5.418* I have a vision disability and using an app like this would be great if it had dark mode to make it easier. Otherwise seems great! ### 4/5 — Cannot record workout? *2024-08-18, version 5.418* It’s overall a good app, because it has the free counting calories and scanning functions. However, I would not purchase the premium subscription because I cannot log in my workouts. This app could be so much better if there was a free trial for the subscription, because I’m not sure that I will have access to all the functions even after payment. ### 2/5 — Disappointing *2024-08-04, version 5.418* The photo recognition only gets one ingredient like “eggs” in a dish of scrammbled eggs with many other visible ingredients. Entering other ingredients manually doesn’t work. The app thinks peppers and mushrooms have zero calories. Pretty bad experience overall. ### 3/5 — Можно как то на русском языке *2024-06-28* Очень хорошее приложение но давайте на русском будем оно ### 4/5 — App connected to my Apple Watch but not accurately measuring my burned calories *2024-05-26, version 5.418* Hi developers, I really enjoy using this app because it’s simple and organized. Unfortunately there are some bugs. When the app suggests a foods calorie count, I’ll select it and than it will show a different calorie amount…. Furthermore, as mentioned above, my Apple Watch is connected to the app, yet the app isn’t accurately imputing my Apple Watch data. It’s only using the data from the phone itself, which is why it shows way fewer steps than the step tracker on my wrist. I have gone into my settings and the apps settings and everything is properly connected so it must be the app that isn’t tracking correctly. If you could fix this it would make me very happy. Thanks! ### 2/5 — Calorie Mama *2024-04-28, version 5.418* The stupid app refuses to load, and doesn't work! So the entire app is trash! ### 2/5 — Loss of function after a year *2024-03-27, version 5.418* I used to love using this app, but for a couple of months now it give crazy calorie counts for common food items (I.e. 43080 calories for 6 macadamia nuts! Not 6 cups, 6 individual nuts). Also, it stopped letting me select different options for portion sizes, even though those options are displayed. It’s as if they stopped supporting this app. Sadly I’ll have to find another calorie app. ### 4/5 — Edit photo - calories not reflected *2024-02-27, version 5.418* Once I edit a picture, it shows the new calories but does not get reflected in that day’s meal. ### 2/5 — I don’t like *2024-02-26, version 5.418* It’s hard to find the foods I want using the barcode feature . I find myself logging in the food manually all the time . Not happy with this app . The workout feature also doesn’t work properly . ### 2/5 — Frustrating to use *2024-02-23, version 5.418* The packaged product and barcode scanning work fine, but the image recognition for plates of food especially things that are mixed is worthless. All other features are behind a paywall. Also there seems to be a bug where if you go back and edit the servings the math gets way out of wack and you end up with tens of thousands of calories! ### 2/5 — Weird math and poor customizability *2024-02-15, version 5.418* For my 6’2” 150lb self the app was recommending 150g protein for 0.5lb/week of weight gain, pretty absurd numbers unless I had specified that I was lifting. Also, my maintenance calories were calculated to something around 2.6k which is almost 500 calories off the known formulas. ### 2/5 — Clunky and limited *2024-01-15, version 5.418* I have buyers remorse getting this subscription. Example: I put in banana to track food and it couldn’t simply give me a regular banana. The AI works just OK. It gets the meals wrong more often than not. I wish you could manually add exercise. The video workout don’t work. Literally, there seems to be some technical error. I’m four days in and I find this a very limited app. They don’t have a trial, so I’m stuck with a subscription for the rest of the year. Fortunately, it wasn’t that expensive, and now I know why. ### 2/5 — Not as good as it once was *2024-01-10, version 5.418* When I used the app a couple of years ago, my input was synced between my iPhone and iPad. For the life of me, I can’t figure out how to do that now. Also, it used to open to the page that you input calories, now it opens to the photo page. It used to be better at recognizing barcodes, doesn’t seem to work now. ### 4/5 — Можно ли изменить *2023-10-24, version 5.418* Язык на русский? ### 4/5 — Please add shopping list *2023-07-30, version 5.330* Please add a list of ingredients automatically made for me to make all the meals for the week so I can make sure I have everything I need already without having to go through every meal manually ### 4/5 — Barcodes *2023-07-24, version 5.330* I like but why are the barcodes so hard to scan. Also need more foods in the search. ### 3/5 — Ready *2022-11-18* French ? Gerry good ! ### 3/5 — App review *2022-07-31, version 5.330* Excellent concept. But, 1) Slow AI detection 2) Limit food list. ### 3/5 — Language problem *2022-07-29, version 5.330* The app is useful but hope there have Chinese version ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Crashes frequently and not great data *2025-10-15, version 5.418* It crashed 6 times when trying to take a photo to get calories. When it did finally work it only recognized one item and said it had zero calories ### 1/5 — Very poor database of foods *2024-09-08, version 5.418* I’ve used a number of these apps for previous diets. This one has a nice interface and workflow for entering foods and counting calories. However, their database of food (photos, barcode scan, and search) is next to useless. This is the most important factor in an app like this. They need to improve this quickly, otherwise their rating will continue to drop. Also, their food unit entry mechanism is buggy and makes entering quantities very tedious. Their photo recognition functionality is mediocre at best. LoseIt! is a much better database and better value for money. ### 1/5 — Terrible tracker app *2024-03-18, version 5.418* Doesn’t scan or find anything, manually search and it sometimes finds a generic profile, select units and log and then nothing appears. I want a refund, there’s a reason it’s so cheap and “on sale”. I hope this comment gets reviewed. Unsatisfactory, and a money grab. ### 1/5 — links to other languages *2023-10-30* links to other languages ### 1/5 — Not accurate *2023-02-06, version 5.330* 5 walnuts is the same as 1 for the camera recognition ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money!!! *2022-03-11, version 5.330* I hate that I wasted money on this app!! It doesn’t work. It can’t identify your food. I doesn’t let you change the food options. Say you make home made soup it gives you the calories of a can of soup and the sodium of a can! It says it has recipes it doesn’t have more than 5 vegan! Today I put I had a sandwich and it has in twice and will not remove it!! Don’t waste you money! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work properly - use Calorie Counter + instead *2021-05-16, version 5.330* Both in terms of displaying on an iPad (annoying horizontal phone screen) and not accepting hand entered data in calorie field for an item. ### 1/5 — Why did you delete the Mediterranean diet??? *2021-05-11, version 5.330* I’ve been doing the Mediterranean diet on this app for a couple of months now. I absolutely love it and have had great reports from my doctor on my lab work. Now it’s just GONE! Please add it back! My entire kitchen is full of groceries for a diet you just deleted. My best friend literally just went out and bought all the groceries to start it and now she has no meal plan. Before this I would have given 5 stars even with the annoying “use the camera” (that never works) notification that I have to clear EVERY SINGLE TIME I open the app. The rest of it is just that good! Or it was. ### 1/5 — It did not work *2021-05-06, version 5.330* I am not happy with this product. ### 1/5 — It’s used to be best app *2021-04-17, version 5.284* Since the update I can’t use barcode to scan anymore. This is so important. ☹️ ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Loss weight *2025-07-18, version 5.418* Look good ### 5/5 — Appreciate it *2025-05-13, version 5.418* This app is amazing and free🤩 I never thought this apps exist and it easy to use. Thank for making this app free. ### 5/5 — Went Crazy *2024-05-05, version 5.418* Started out great and I liked using it but for the last month whenever I enter a food and try to change the Number of Servings it inserts a crazy high number (like 3565 calories in a grilled shrimp). Never used to do that. I tried deleting and re-installing but it didn't help. This is the FREE version but if it doesn't work I sure don't want to PAY for a version! Oh well... ### 5/5 — 搞点中文吧啊啊啊啊 *2020-09-11* 没中文看不懂哇 ### 5/5 — Amazing *2020-07-30, version 5.236* The best app I have ever tried 😁😊☺️ ### 5/5 — Grateful Type 1 Diabetic *2020-02-12, version 5.218* I’m not knowledgeable about calories or diet planning, even after 26 years of Diabetes. One day of this and I’m already paying better attention to my eating!! Download this free app to help you lose that weight. Update: been using this for two hundredish days and I’ve lost 40 pounds!! ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2020-02-02, version 5.218* I just downloaded this App and logged my first food. It accurately said that The food I logged was oatmeal. I will be using this app from now on. ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2020-01-18, version 5.218* Easy to use and friendly user ### 5/5 — Calorie counter *2020-01-04, version 5.218* First time using it works good ### 5/5 — Thanks for making a twin for argus *2019-12-17, version 5.218* I like this app because argus keeps crashing --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
