overly simplistic database that is almost not usable
First, the UI is abysmal. Any reasonable programmer should be able to make it a little bit more appealing it seems. But the main issue is the database search function. I tried to search for McDonald’s fries, and it could not find even that there is no flexibility to go general and then dig down into more details, evidently you needed to enter in exactly the format of the data entry, which in this case is McDonald’s fries, small. This app puts a bad name to the old calorie king books, which I have used in the past.

Doesn’t work
The search feature does not work. Only generates a blank screen. Canceling subscription.

I love this app But all I really want to say is that I recently got diagnosed with type 1 diabetes which was terrible so I love all of you who have that because it is hard good luck
Doesn’t work
When you put in a search it doesn’t load.
Update
Update please
Needs updates
This app is not keeping up with restaurant changes, menu changes, new products, etc.
Terrible do not get.
This app was great at first but then I started looking at the menus of restaurants and the menus showed different carb numbers then calorie king and I trust the menus more then this app because the people who made the menus actually know the correct carb amount.
Love this app, but…
I have been using this app for as long as it’s been available! Before the app, I used to check one out at my local library. I have type 1 diabetes & use it three or more times a week! Got a biscuit this morning & looked up the franchise to get the carb count & breakfast wasn’t even on there! Then went to the App Store to download an update & there hasn’t been an update in six years! Very disappointing.

Barcode scan is not available/ working
I tried scanning a barcode on a box of Costco muffins to find the carbohydrate count on a single muffin. Seeing as Costco doesn’t add this info and as a diabetic accurate carbohydrate and insulin amounts matter… As stated above the scan did not work, don’t waste your time on download this, just go to google and search there, it may be a few minutes searching but at least it’s more accurate.

Asking For More Money
I’ve had this app when it was for $8.99. In other words, years ago. And because I don’t purchase much stuff from the App Store, I can still see the when I paid for it and how much it was. It’s now asking me to pay again but for no ads. I’m not paying twice for the same app with the same functions I’ve had for years. Total money scam.

Leave the ads out
I’ve used this app for a very long time but I’m not renewing it. Too many ads even though I pay for the app. The ads are annoying and you can’t get out of them.
Please change this.
Please change this.
Calorie King
The app is great, the information is amazing but the ads are absolutely atrocious.
Stay away.
Developers do NOTHING to fix problems with the app. You cannot select a monthly or yearly subscription. The pop up window has BOTH selected so you cannot select either!!! Great programming!!!!
Stopped working
Evidently this app is not supported. Suddenly went blank. Was good for awhile.
Calorie King
Don’t purchase this app…you cannot get support from their help line. I have written to them in reference to trying to log in and getting an error message about the site and have received a response that they are working on it. It has been three weeks and they are still working on it and more subscriptions is running down.

Good concept but doesn’t work
This app is a great idea but subscribing to remove ads doesn’t work and entering a quantity covers up the info with the number pad.
Fix your buggy app please, thanks!

Well thought out, clean, clear lines
I really like the "ControlMyWeight" and "Calorie King" apps. They are connected within the apps, and the subscription pages are the same. However, when you purchase an annual subscription for one app, it does not seem to apply to the second app. I have emailed customer support and am waiting for an answer from them.

Ads?
I love this app! I use it all the time. I only have one issue. Recently ads have appeared. I pay an annual subscription fee, yet suddenly ads are interrupting my use. I don’t think it is fair to start running ads on paid subscriptions. When will the ads stop?
I thought this was supposed to be the best…?
I just downloaded this to track carbs for my son with T1D. It was recommended by the hospital. The first three foods I tried to scan (products by huge national brands) could not be found. Deleting the app.
Complete failure
We pay a subscription fee. We still get ads. The search system is awful.
I trust the nutrition data. I’m dad to a T1.
