Create account doesn’t work?? is that used to be

I don’t know what happened with this site I used to just be able to log on no passwords, etc. no need to create an account now it says it wants a password?? I tried to create an account and it won’t let me do it and no way to contact them to find out what’s going on. Very upsetting as it was a great site.

Problem opening app

When I try to sign it it tells me I have the wrong password. But when I click reset password it never sends me a email. I also tried to sign up with a different email it said their was a problem and to contact you this was the only way I could find to contact you

Thank you for contacting me. I finally got it to accept a different email address. I appreciate your help

Not for me

I was looking for an app that really had a lot of choices and food options and in the description of this one that’s what it said but after not finding the 5th item I was looking for I deleted the account. It was super easy to use but there is not enough options and I couldn’t get it to scan any of my bar codes!

Decent for carb tracking

Nice free app, easy to scan or search for foods. Not as complete a list as I’d like, but hey, free and easy.

Customized foods!!!

Can’t wait for this feature to roll out in 2024. As of right now, it’s useless to me. When I scanned the UPC of the low carb protein shake I drink every morning - “NO RESULTS”. Not even if I try to type it in and search for it. Oh well. I’ll just keep tracking on paper.

Thanks?

Good App

This is a good app but it’s cumbersome. I eat the same thing for breakfast all the time. I’d like to add “usual breakfast. 3 carbs” but I can’t, I have to list each element and the tap “add” and “okay” after each.
However, it has a broad range of foods in its data and so far I’ve been able to find everything I’ve wanted to enter.

Just got this app

I just started using this app. Pretty easy to use, but it would be great if the app I put on my iPad, updated info to the one on my iPhone. So far that is the only drawback. I couldn’t find the exact yogurt I’m eating but found the same brand with a different portion size, which will be a good estimate for me. If info would update from iPad to iPhone, you would get a five star from me.

Problems with unavailability

love the app but few times over the last week the dreaded circling has delayed and made it hard to input my meals. Also two foods that didn’t pull up were celery and butter. needs data updates

Ok but frustrating

I was excited at first thinking it was a simple way to count carbs. It quickly became apparent that the food choices were common American brands and Canadian brands were not available. It would be useful to be able to enter missing brands/foods that I normally use and save them for use the next day or later in the week. The camera was a great idea though.

Missing significant item

How does a carb counter app not have one of the most used tortillas for keto dieters (Mission ZERO Net Carbs tortillas) ???

Pretty good

Needs to add more products to site. I took pictures of several upc codes and they are not available

Nope 👎🏼

Not easy to track what amount of the food portion your eating. Not easy to cancel account

seems inaccurate

measurements and servings sizes in this app are all over the place

Doesn’t track net carbs correctly

First, I’m having trouble finding a certain low carb snack bar. I see no way to add it to the database. So, I selected an item that should be similar to my unfound item.
But, the selected item is an Atkin bar. This app counts the Atkin net carb at almost 32 net carbs!!! Way off. Atkin net carbs usually between 3 to 5 carbs. I won’t be using this app.

Great

On a bill right now and it tracks all the stuff I need, carbs, protein, fat and calories, even divides the carbs down into net carbs and fibre. Great app

Not working.

I type in a name of the food and nothing is coming up

Pretty good

This will be a great app once they get the data base for the UPC scan updated. Maybe add the feature for the user to scan and add or send a picture off the label in an y’all add it?

Why can't I find

I can't find several foods that I eat like kefir and banana I mean why is banana not listed? Olive oil avacado oil

Love the app -great for diabetics

I really do love this app. As a diabetic who is reducing my carb intake (but not going Keto), it is helpful to track my carbs to keep them lower and/or find lower carb options. This has been great. A few things that would make it even better.

Suggestions/Ideas
🔸regularly update foods. I tried to add yasso frozen yogurt poppables and Yasso frozen yogurt mochi. It wasn’t found and I couldn’t update or add it myself. Also no listing for Orowheat small slice and other small slice loaves have more carbs than the selection I buy, so I can’t accurately substitute the bread I have with the listing available
🔸if you can’t keep new foods updated then allow a way to add a picture of the nutrition information label then manually enter the carb, protein, fats, or other into the user’s data base
🔸 sorting or look up by market where purchased to limit having to go through long lists of foods from markets not found on the west coast (where I live)
🔸not all breads have the option to add by slice rather than serving. Other serving sizes don’t reflect the carb count being tracked accurately
🔸list total carbs first and net carbs second (as a diabetic tracking carbs we don’t track by net carbs but by total carbs- less deceiving because total carbs affect insulin doses)
🔸consider hooking into the Dex-com app to transfer your tracking system into the DexCom events app for carb management

Simple but works well. Easy to input foods and breaks down for you.
