Carbon works for me
An easy habit to pick up
Not ideal
Tracking foods can be a pain. For example I make my coffee at home. I use a specific soy milk. So for example I tried putting in: „Cappucino double shot with pure harvest unsweetened soy milk and 1 tea spoon honey.“ nope would do it. Instead it suggests cappucino‘s from different coffee shops or simply a cappucino without specifying the milk. But this is what makes the difference! Do I use normal milk or soy milk? Is it sweentened or unsweetened. Is my coffee a single shot or double shot. All things necessary for precise tracking. Then I tried a flat white. Same milk but I only put in föat white. When I tapped it it showed me an error. But when I choose a flat white from a coffee shop it works. Sorry but first day and already had enough.
Response from developer
Thank you for the feedback, and we’re sorry your first experience was frustrating. For the most accurate tracking, entries like the coffee example are generally best logged as their individual components (espresso, soy milk, honey, etc.), which allows Carbon to calculate the nutrition based on exactly what you’re consuming rather than making assumptions about a custom drink recipe. Additionally, Carbon does track a variety of micronutrients, and we’re always looking for ways to improve the tracking experience. Regarding the error you encountered with the flat white entry, we’d love to investigate that directly. Please reach out to us at support@joincarbon.com with the details, and our team will be happy to take a closer look and help get things sorted.
Limited food options
Coach In Your Phone
Not Worth the Cost
Check-ins and targets didn’t work for me (I am trying to gain weight). I am guessing that part of the problem is that it doesn’t account for activity.
Also, there are a significant number of food data errors. For the price, these errors should not be in the app. A bit of data analytics would find some of them (e.g., foods that display more of a macro than the total weight of the item!).
It’s the best!!!!!
Not what I expected
Response from developer
Thank you for the thoughtful feedback. Carbon is designed differently from apps like MyFitnessPal in that it functions as an adaptive nutrition coach, not just a food logger. The app uses your check-in data and progress to adjust your macros over time so you’re not left guessing what changes to make yourself. Regarding activity tracking, Carbon intentionally does not use Apple Watch calorie burn estimates for macro adjustments because wearable calorie estimates are often highly inaccurate. Instead, the app adjusts based on your real-world progress and response over time. Carbon's verified-only food database supports many Canadian foods, and continues to expand. We appreciate your feedback and would love the opportunity to assist you directly in getting the most of out Carbon! Please reach us at support@joincarbon.com.
Great app let down by connection problems
Response from developer
Thank you for the thoughtful review and for highlighting what you liked about Carbon’s design, food logging, and barcode tools. We’re sorry the connection issue got in the way of that experience. Carbon maintains very strong app stability and connectivity overall, so when “no connection” appears, it’s often related to a device or network setting, such as VPN, Private Relay, firewall settings, Wi-Fi/cellular switching, or local permissions. We’d really like to help you troubleshoot this directly and get Carbon working the way it should for you. Please reach out to support@joincarbon.com so our team can take a closer look!
