Good app but could be better
Works really well, but for whatever reason it won’t show homemade foods like MFP does also when you search it’s not as intuitive as MFP. The photo logging is great and I like the layout but I struggle with the search function and really think it could be improved.
Ads that don’t end
I understand ads, I really do, I am honestly not even upset about it in general. The thing I am annoyed with though is how many of them refuse to let you close them AT ALL. The majority of the time I have to close the app to get back to input my stuff.
I looked into the singular paid option, but there aren’t enough extras that appeal to me for the price I’d have to pay.
I want to keep using the app, let yall get ad money, but the inescapable ads are a downer.
Can there be a tier that can get rid of ads only and not all the other extras? I think a lot of people would pay for that version.
I also think some of the extras are AI based and that’s a turn off to me. I don’t need to take a photo of my food or describe it to the app. That seems like the results would be very inaccurate and unhelpful.

Easy to use
Good to make sure you eat a balanced diet. I’m amazed of all the foods in the database !!!
Also great to get nutritional info on recipes I create

No longer reliably syncs to Apple Health
Syncing to Apple Health is hit & miss. Some days sync 0 intake, some days sync partial intake. Unreliable.

Hi there! Can you please tell us what you're finding so buggy? We would love to hear specific feedback on what you're having issues with.
Best diet tracking app if you value good data
Fantastic app, best out there by far. Excellent food database access. Recent update makes it random which meal the food entered gets listed under.
Response from developer
Thanks for the fantastic review! We're glad you're enjoying Cronometer and appreciate your kind words about our food database! We're sorry to hear about foods issues post update. Please reach out to support@cronometer.com with some details so our team can investigate and help get this sorted out!
Excellente application
Super pratique, base de données révisée par leur nutritionniste, c’est facile d’ajouter des aliments qui n’existent pas. Ma seule petite critique ( qui leur vaut 4 étoiles plutôt que 5) est que le moteur de recherche n’est pas au point, il faut écrire les mots du titre de l’aliment dans le bon ordre sinon il ne le trouve pas: exemple tranches kraft extra, si on marque juste extra ça ne fonctionne pas.

Could be 5 stars…
My only gripe with this app is when the ads pop up. I’m ok dealing with ads on free versions, but it really makes me want to delete the app when I hit the search bar and immediately get an ad. It would be so much better if the ad waited until after I’ve found my item and selected Add to Diary.
The Best!
Using Cronometer has been one of the easiest and most effective ways for me to stick to my diet. Not only does it help me stay on track with my daily calorie intake, but it also makes tracking my protein incredibly simple. The app is so user-friendly that it actually makes the whole process enjoyable. My hat's off to the developers for creating such a fantastic app!

Excellent Health App
Super user friendly, great components for food and nutrient tracking, macro tracking, water intake, ability to create and add custom entries, recipes, and to scan packaging to add new foods.
I love this app
I’ve been using chronometer for about six months now and have lost almost 20 kg and definitely could not have done it without this app, and it’s wonderful user interface and precision. TU devs! :)
Helpful Design with quite comprehensive options for tracking and feedback.
Update.
I have been using this for over 2 years now. It was invaluable to losing 100 lbs carefully while maintaining reasonably good nutrition and without dedicated weight loss drugs. I’ve maintained within 5-10 pounds of my lowest weight during the wt loss period. Been in maintenance now for 8 months. Cronometer still very valuable. I’ve logged all my food for well over 800 days now. Tracking protein, net carbs, fiber, unsaturated fat and calcium, zinc and copper have been really useful to me.
*******
I have used this app daily for 1 year. At first primarily to lose weight and keep net carbs low. I continued for those reasons but also began soon to benefit from numerous other features — tracking other nutrients, calculating energy expenditure as it changed over time with weight loss, food intake, exercise types.
About 1 year later I am down 80 pounds and happy. Did not have sense of metabolism slowing down by doing lower net. carbs and time restricted eating. This was a great partner on the journey for tracking my cgm, fasting and nutrients such as calcium, choline, protein, copper, etc.
This week, I got to celebrate being down to a normal BMI for first time in over 30 years.

I love this app. I use it daily and it helps me keep on track.
I would make one suggestion for improvement. Although you have a huge database of foods, at times I can’t replicate a meal. It would be great if you could enter macros manually for those times. I often have the info but can’t utilize it.

Everything you need
Dr Boz put me in to this tracker a few years ago. She has amazing information I watched on YouTube for years and learned the benefits of sardines.
This tracker helps me understand the quality of the food along with quantity that is often useless in my health benefits.
So if you need some help just start tracking and watch the benefits of actually understanding every bite you put in your mouth.
At one point Bob was 425 and started listening to Kevin Rutherford on the letstruck app and dropped 100 lbs. he had a health show every Wednesday and had been able to help truckers get rid of thousand of medications and live healthier lives.
I currently and at 266 and basically don’t exercise except for I carina walking. Most health benefits are in the food, not in drugs making your body do things that aren’t normal!
Why not let food naturally help you naturally regain health and livelihood by actually putting every bite that goes in your mouth into this app. If you cheat, you’re only cheating yourself.
I used to think those little 4-5 mini candy bars did no harm if I didn’t put them down while watching tv at night. Yes they do!!! If you don’t put every bite of food her just don’t download it and keep feeling miserable they way you are. Because big you lie to yourself you will always lie to others!

I am hoping a developer can help me on this issue. The app has been great, but about 6 or so months ago, something changed, and I haven’t used the app since. Whenever I am to search something such as “banana” I have to dig 20-30 results deep to find an actual banana. The app only shows me “banana bread” and “banana fritters” stuff like that. Please let me know how I can fix this because this didn’t use to happen a year ago. If this gets fixed then it would absolutely be a 5 star
app, I’m just seeking help!
Edit: it got fixed! Just had to change how to results were sorted. 5/5

Best app used to far
The app stopped working
Out of a sudden the app stopped updating the calories.
The login was not working as expected and asked me to login multiple times on top of extremely slow loading.
I believe it is a server issue but as someone who uses it and monitoring very closely i causing be go back to MFP as it is way more stable.
Now it is jot syncing with the Oura ring data.
Every other day the app stops loading.
Message saying ’takes longer then usual’ but never loading looks like servers connection issues or call failure but all the time!!

Please give us the ability to do an add all option from previous days trackers
It's okay
Mixed feelings about this app. Pros: it's better than some others out there such as Lifesum especially if you want to track your micronutrients. Cons: cumbersome UI / UX, no way to quickly just insert calories you want to track without creating extensive custom foods or recipes, and no lifetime subscription because they want to drain you monthly like every other service out there. Most of their data comes from public sources so the app is now easily vibe-coded.

So easy to use
Love this app!
Fantastic App
If you are looking for a free app to track your macros, this is the ideal app.
