Bar code

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.

amazing but i wish there was one more thing

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! 🥲

Been trying to get help, no response👎

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.

Response from developer

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

good app but big problems

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

The scan

Why is the scan not free?

Amazing

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

Response from developer

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

cute !!

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

Great Tracking App - Missing Cholesterol

I really like this app! I paid for premium in hopes of unlocking more nutrition and better features, however I realized there is not an option for cholesterol which is the main reason I’m tracking food, I would really love to see that added!!

Response from developer

Thank you for your suggestion! We will make sure the team is aware this is a wanted feature so we can improve the app for you :)

The best!

Literally the best app for tracking. It’s fun & easy. This app has definitely made it easy to be consistent and achieve my current weight goals.

AMAZING BRO

I am so ECSTATIC I discovered this nutrition tracker app. It doesn’t require an 80 dollar subscription to track a basic diet. MYFITNESSPAL SUCKS. I am so grateful I get fantastic benefits for free. Your search is over!! Download this app you won’t regret it! Bonus: the theme is so cute!!

Good Tracking App

I think this app is really good for being able to track your calories and to customize its look, although there are a few things I would change to make this app 5 stars. For example adding a way to tell the app you’re finished logging for the day to not lose your streak if you’re fasting, a way to see what you’ve logged for the day on your Home Screen as to edit or remove items, and a graph to log you’re weight loss and see your trends. I use this app instead of LoseIt because of the customization feature, but that app has all of these things I’ve mentioned and makes it a better app overall and I have potential of switching back.

Hey, thank you so much for your valuable feedback and kind words, we will use your feedback to improve ChowTracker. Thank you!

simple app, gets the job done :)

I really love the small community in this app!! everyone on the forum page is super nice <3
I love the “simple logging” option where you can just log calories and macros if you are unsure of the meal’s contents😸

Response from developer

Thank you so much for your feedback, super glad it’s helpful for you! ☺️

Very useful

Great app, no adds and premium is worth for the barcode scanner.

Response from developer

Thank you so much for your kind review! So glad you find it useful.

SO GOOD

really really good for logging calories. there are so many food options already in there!! also its so cute you can make the tracking circle into a heart

THE NEW UPDATE

the new update makes it even more difficult to find foods in the search. before, when i couldn’t find what i was looking for there would usually be other options similar to mine, but now when i search something with a brand name, what used to have many variations now has none. i’m better off making an estimate mentally than using this app. i was looking forward to an update on the search database since it needed some improvements, but now it has become almost entirely useless instead. i hope you guys can find a solution to this as i do prefer this app over many other trackers.

Thank you for your feedback. We will take a look into this with an investigation and push out a fix if we find this to be an unintentional glitch. Thank you

always have to pay

I did my research on the app and everyone was saying that the app was free and that was a complete lie because every time I try to track down my food it always says to get premium. They say that most of the app is free including the scanning part but that’s a lie it always tell me to get premium and asks me to pay but I don’t want to have to pay and want to use the app for free. They should put that you have to pay all the time and you are not allowed to use this app for free.

Thank you for your feedback. We apologise you have been misinformed by others online. ChowTracker has core tracking free and extra and easier ways for premium users. We apologise you didn’t find this to be the case for you. Many thanks

Helpful but 1 improvement needed

I really like this app and I love how we can personalize it and make it pink which really makes a difference when doing something like calorie tracking to make it a bit more fun. However, when I go to change the date it glitches, so if I wanted to see how many calories I ate on a day 6 months ago, the ‘choose date’ feature is blank and it won’t let me actually see the dates to scroll through. Please can you fix this as this is something really helpful and important for me and will have to switch apps if it’s not fixed, even though I love ChowTracker ☹️ Thank you - UPDATE: have seen you fixed this issue in the latest update. Thank you so much!!!!!! This is great and I will continue to use 🥰

Hey, thank you so much for your kind words! Your review was the cause of getting it fixed, thank you for your feedback and giving us the chance to resolve this for you. We really appreciate your continued support! 😁

Change Date

Love the app, just please work on fixing the “change the date” option. I’d have to delete stuff and go to the actual date. I think changing the date would be much more convenient.

Barcode scanner and Weight log chart need improvement

When I scan a barcode of a food, I often have to adjust calories and macros to actually reflect nutritional info per serving. I also don’t like how sometimes, even if I enter a weight recording for the day, on the graph there will be days when my weight shows 0.0lb which makes it difficult to visualize progress with the graph going up and down so falsely dramatic. I do overall enjoy the app though.
