Cash grab, don’t download.
This used to be a great app, but now it’s a cash grab. The main feature of the app no requires you to pay a monthly membership. Apparently the only things I can do for free is log my weight and it shows my and estimated bmi. Both can be done with the notes app and some math.
Disappointed. This used to a be a great way to track calories on campus. Dining hall foods would all be available. Everything is locked behind a paywall. Nigh unusable app. It just takes space on your phone. Honestly if you looking to download this app, just tell Claude to make you a better app. It’ll most likely do better.

Response from developer
Hey Charles, Thanks for your feedback. The reason we charge a subscription is because it costs money to run our servers, and well as marketing so that we can expand CampusFuel to other universities. We tried to price CampusFuel as cheap as we possibly could ($2.50 a month, less than half the price of myfitnesspal) in order to make it accessible to students since I too am a broke college student so I get it. Please let us know if you have any more feedback, feel free to email
A great app that could use a few additions
The app is generally extremely useful, but there are a few missing/inaccurate values(futurebites BYO bread options showing 0 calories even though it’s listed as 170 on the website. There are a few more but those seem to be an issue with the vt nutrition site.)
Additionally, not being able to manually input macros and calories and having to rely on the AI/general food database is pretty confusing, as the database is useless if you’re cooking, and manually adding macros seems like a pretty easy feature to add(especially since it’s already included in the bar code scanning). Also, for the 2-3 days where barcode scanning was free, it was pretty unreliable from my experience so most of the time I had to change the macros anyway.
With these 2 fixes the app would essentially be perfect and would literally be an auto-download for anybody with a meal plan.

excellent
app has helped me easily input food from dining halls and also seems to have imported a food database from online. only problem is a few options aren’t updated in teal time such as tazon and choolah doesn’t exist in the app. also, there should be an option to subtract or show activity calories so we can get a real grasp on the exact numbers of net calories in a day. Otherwise, 5 stars!

Great app, some bugs but they quickly get fixed
I’ve been using this app and have been having fun tracking my food intake! Good app, at first couple of places here at VT here missing but quickly got added upon request.
Great App
The features they offer for free are so good and help me track my calories
