Good calorie database, awful as a weight loss tool
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 Star App
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!
Finally, and easy to use calorie tracker
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!
Takes self discipline and works 100%
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.

perfect
this app is perfect exactly how it is. no requirement to sign up no ads. absolute gem
Love this app but…
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.
Best tracker without weight loss pressure!
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!!!

Helped me reach my goals
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!

Solid basic tracker
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.

Great. For tracking progress
A very helpful tool in watching your calorie intake and keeping track of your weight and goals.
Nice App
It’s a good app for tracking my carbs. I just wish it was easier to add multiple item to a meal. The meal copy feature helps with that.
Very useful, Australian based
It’s easy to add your own recipes and foods. Good graph of weight. Room for improvement: The database of foods needs updating as there are a lot missing. The exercise tracking requires all manual input. Good price though for lifetime use. No annual fee.
Good data
This app has a good range of Australian food and take away products which simplifies calorie counting. I love the carb and protein counts too.
App sync
Would love to see this app sync with Apple health and pull data from that. Like exercise minutes water ect I have a smart water bottle that logs water but it won’t come into this app from what I can see
Put in your own recipes!
This is the absolute BEST app for controlling what you eat. Not the easiest to learn, but has the best options and works 100% great for me. You still have to do some work on your own recipes- using labels and a scale. Most people eat the same things all the time so once your favs are entered in the database, you can just keep using them.

Please include Australia
Suggested by my dietician but barcode scanning is only for the USA. Very disappointed.
No connection to external apps.
I rely on the connection with external apps to input my exercise and activity. Having to enter it manually myself is a pain. So unfortunately, though I prefer this for the tracking information, I have to delete the app.
Great for Type 1 Diabetecs
Being able to calculate foods in so many different serving sizes/volumes makes carbohydrate counting much easier, especially for diabetic patients on an insulin pump
Disappointed User
Glitchy, basic but useful if you can put up with it not working the same way everyday.
Record keeping what I eat
I like the app. I like keeping track of what I consume. I have more motivation to avoid sweets and monitor my Bread ( my favorite staple) intake
