### 4/5 — Great App AND

*2026-08-12, version 2.2.10*

This is a great app. I’ve been using it for years, so it’s easy to go back to especially because people seem to eat the same so your meals are already there. But something that would make it most excellent is if I could sync exercise apps, instead of having to do it manually. Thanks. 👌🏻

### 1/5 — Good calorie database, awful as a weight loss tool

*2026-07-28, version 2.2.10*

The user interface is terrible in every way. The weight chart doesn’t show numbers, you have no visuals to help you see where you are calorie-wise throughout the day, no pie chart for macronutrient consumed. The only good thing is the database, which is great and trustworthy. But any other weight loss app is better to manage intake.

### 5/5 — 5 Star App

*2026-07-27, version 2.2.10*

I love this app, I have type 1 diabetes and it makes tracking all my meals a breeze. I’m also training for a half marathon right now. Seeing how many calories I have left to use keeps my training schedule on track!

### 5/5 — Finally, and easy to use calorie tracker

*2026-07-07, version 2.2.10*

Seriously, I can’t say enough about this app. I’ve tried so many others. They all want to control your diet. This app lets you customize your weight goes and your calorie goals without telling you what to do. Also gives you a clean view of your day. Amazingly simple!

### 5/5 — Takes self discipline and works 100%

*2026-06-09, version 2.2.10*

I bought this several years ago and the companion app. I lost over 25 lbs with it(that was my goal) If you take the time to count and log all calories and stick with it you will have 100% success. Also by using it one learns what foods to eat and quantities to keep your ideal weight. Highly Reccomended.

### 5/5 — perfect

*2026-05-28, version 2.2.10*

this app is perfect exactly how it is. no requirement to sign up no ads. absolute gem

### 5/5 — Love this app but…

*2026-05-19, version 2.2.10*

The app is great, user friendly & I love that you can add recipes to get nutritional value. The only thing I wish about the app was more updates more often when new products come out. It’s not enough for me to remove a star because I just add anything missing manually as a food.

### 5/5 — Best tracker without weight loss pressure!

*2026-05-18, version 2.2.10*

This is my food tracking app dreams come true!! I’ve been looking forever for an app that lets me to track/measure what I eat, drink, and do … AND THAT’S IT. No feature bloat, no motivational stuff, no community or coaching. Just the facts. Love this app so much. The UI is clean and easy. DON’T CHANGE IT!!!

### 5/5 — Helped me reach my goals

*2026-05-16, version 2.2.10*

ControlMyWeight did exactly that! After reaching a big Xmas break and far too long of not looking after myself the app helped me get my weight back to where I wanted it. With disciplined use of it it helped me understand the calories in food. In 3 months I had got to where I wanted to be and now use it as a check app. Great tool!

### 3/5 — Solid basic tracker

*2026-04-25, version 2.2.10*

I've used the app for years when I'm off my game. It is easy to find where I'm eating too much fat or not getting enough water, and being able to enter my own recipes is helpful

That being said, it lacks a lot of entries, is very focused on particular brands, could be far better with PB foods, the scanner does not work. Take what you can.
