### 4/5 — great app except for the search engine

*2026-08-15*

this app is my favorite calorie tracking app yet, I really like the customization options available (though it would be nice if more accent colors could be added 👀) and it’s pretty simple to use and MOSTLY works perfectly fine. the only issue I have with the app is its search engine because sometimes food from certain brands won’t be shown in the search engine one day and could be found the next day or you search up something and you get results only slightly related to what you searched for. the app is still great, it would be nice if this issue could be resolved in the next update though.

### 4/5 — Bar code

*2026-07-11*

It’s a very good app and very good looks but I do wish you didn’t have to pay to scam barcode since the search bar dose not have all the items and I cant track a lot of my snacks.

### 5/5 — sooo cute!!! i have an update idea! :)

*2026-07-09*

It would be SO cute if like we could have our own diaries in the app🥹 where we could track our weight, measurements, etc!  and if we could add our own photos to the diary for aesthetic reasons :)! 

hope the devs see this!

### 5/5 — amazing but i wish there was one more thing

*2026-07-09*

i use this app all the time i just wish it had an option thats easier to track measurments! building muscle means the scale may go up while physically the body is looking different, i used to add notes to each weight but theres no way to see the full note so i can only see half the measurements! 🥲

### 2/5 — Been trying to get help, no response👎

*2026-07-01*

I sent an email about a week ago asking to cancel my subscription as I no longer use it enough. I did not hear back. There isn’t even a section in the app to ask help! This is so frustrating

I cannot find the subscription on my Apple setting and have sent the email twice.

**Developer response:** Hello, thank you for reaching out, we just searched for this email and are unable to locate it, you can cancel your subscription from your settings app on your phone by going to Settings -> Apple account -> subscriptions. I hope this helps! Many thanks

### 2/5 — good app but big problems

*2026-06-19*

I love the app and the personalisation options, but finding foods i've previously logged is weirdly difficult. there's no logical or clear way to access past entries, so I often have to end up inputting it from scratch on another day which makes logins mundane and long. 

the search function is disappointing. compared to my fitness pal, searching for foods often returns completely unrelated results, and even foods i've logged before don't always appear. 

as a premium subscriber, I would have expected more. but I will no longer be using this app - I have to cancel my subscription

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, we will take note of this and address the issues for future users! Thank you for your support

### 2/5 — Not very good compared to other apps

*2026-06-15*

Its personalizable simple interface is what’s most appealing about it, other than that it’s less advanced than other apps and locks some features under subscription when other apps like my net diary offer the same features for free. It also doesn’t allow you to put your age as under 16. Overall solid app, but its drawbacks turned me to other apps. Its interface is very well done and easy to use but in terms of function it’s very basic.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, we aim to keep ChowTracker simple and this is why we don’t aim to over complicate with unnecessary bloat. Thank you for your feedback we will use this to improve.

### 4/5 — The scan

*2026-05-19*

Why is the scan not free?

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-05-15*

This is such a great app for tracking my calories! I find it to be more easier to use and less complicating than other tracking apps (i.e. MyFitnessPal). I love how they also have the grams setting, which is very helpful when tracking with the food scale I have

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review! It made our day! :)

### 4/5 — cute !!

*2026-05-13*

i love the baby pink feature and the app is so easy to navigate !! it be cool if all the colours came in a soft baby colour
