### 2/5 — The Best…..It was

*2025-01-03, version 6.0*

Zero updates. New apps have far superior interface, but it is difficult to find a free app that tracks sugar.

### 4/5 — Wonderful App

*2024-09-03, version 6.0*

I use this app daily and have done so for several years. Tried othesr but found them to not be so user friendly, including Atkins. The only draw back is the inability to merge food databases. I like the custom foods group a lot more than favorites. If you could move items from search to custom instead of favorites it would be a vast improvement. Reports are a excellent tool to track progress over time

### 3/5 — Great app

*2024-03-26, version 5.1.1*

I was recently on a program for a year where I weighed daily & logged what I ate, but was not aware of the carbs. This has opened my eyes!

### 4/5 — Useful App With Some Room For Improvement

*2024-01-16, version 5.1.1*

Overall this is a very good app. It functions as advertised, and it's useful for tracking carbs. You can track consumption of water and carbs, as well as weight. I agree that with other reviewers that the food organization is perhaps not as intuitive as it could be, and it is mildly annoying that it resets every time you enter something you ate. Those are relatively minor issues, though, and overall the app is great

### 4/5 — Great App!

*2023-12-06, version 5.1.1*

I love this app and I wish they would update it. This has really aided me in controlling my type 1 diabetes

### 5/5 — Diabetes Control

*2023-10-01, version 5.1*

This is a great tool for managing my health

### 5/5 — Great app

*2023-04-19, version 5.1*

Does exactly what is needed!

### 5/5 — CK

*2023-04-12, version 5.1*

It’s rather easy to track n it works for me to keep me in!

### 4/5 — Daily Carb

*2023-03-20*

I’m diabetic so I really appreciate having a quick resource for my carbs. Thanks

### 3/5 — Difficult to log

*2023-02-25, version 5.1*

I am having a tough time trying to log what I eat. Food categories are not broad enough.

### 5/5 — Easy to Use

*2023-01-24, version 5.0*

Daily Carb is a great app for diabetics. Everything is in it! The only change I would make is the ability to change the time when “something” is done. Sometimes I don’t have my phone on me so at bedtime I check everything is added. If I missed adding a glucose check, it is listed as being done when I make the entry. I can’t change it to the actual time. Also, it would be great for us Seniors to make the typeface larger and easier to see!

### 4/5 — Duke14

*2022-09-12, version 5.0*

Very comprehensive. Easy to use. A great help.

### 5/5 — Great, highly functional app.

*2022-08-31, version 5.0*

Tracks nutrition facts well, helps keep me focused on my target weight.

### 5/5 — Great Tool

*2022-08-23, version 5.0*

So very helpful to monitor critical numbers and see over time how you are doing.

### 4/5 — Mostly a great App

*2022-08-09, version 5.0*

The only issue I have is editing. You cannot edit the “meals”. If you eat a little off breakfast time it is thrown in “other”.  This App could be made to work easier and more user friendly!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Not user friendly

*2025-05-28, version 6.0*

Didn’t like very confusing

### 1/5 — Buggy and ridiculous

*2025-01-10*

SO buggy. I uninstalled and reinstalled twice, got *slightly* more functionality each time, but even then it’s impossible to figure out how to use it. Not intuitive at all. For a paid app it’s 🚮

### 1/5 — I can’t enter one meal without 5 or 10 interruptions

*2024-07-24, version 5.1.1*

This stinks. I can’t load my data into my new iPhone 15 Pro Max and I can’t simply input an entire meal without 5 or 10 interruptions because you stop me after each food item! Peas, interruption, chicken, interruption, potatoes, interruption, Apple, interruption, milk, interruption, bread, interruption, butter, interruption, etc and it goes on and on and on ad infinatum!

### 1/5 — Changed to 2 stars.  I paid for this app- still get the annoying ads!  Boo!

*2022-06-28, version 5.0*

Good app but very poorly maintained. Great implementation and usability but the developer is very slow or non-existstant when it comes to fixing important bugs. A new implementation of annoying ads has now broken some functionality. That is particularly annoying as I initially paid to not see ads. It took months to fix a major issue where some critical text was hard to read and caused a loss of reasonably functionality. Now, the main Home screed daily carb display refuses to update. The app is still usable but is going down hill.

6/28/22
This app actually got worse!  I initially paid for as free use.  They took my money but the constant barrage of ads never stopped.  Now, it is annoying enough to render the app almost unusable.  

I am looking for a better solution now!   To bad. It was once a goto app.  Now, I can’t recommend it!

### 1/5 — Really let down

*2021-10-28, version 4.1*

When I first bought this app it worked great! But since the Apple 15.1 update, it crashes instantly whenever I try to use the Dropbox feature.

### 1/5 — Newest update glitches

*2020-07-30*

This latest update is pretty bad. It hangs now when trying to load ads inline about 50% of the time. Have to constantly close and reopen. And the fact that ads are inline is really annoying. About to pick something and the ad shows up adjusting my list dynamically.

### 1/5 — Ads appearing

*2020-07-09, version 4.0*

I have suddenly started getting prompts that I have to watch a video to be able to log additional glucose readings. I have full access for the app but it will no longer allow me to add any glucose readings.

### 1/5 — Use ability

*2020-04-28, version 3.0.1*

Too difficult to find carb content of a specific food; e.g. baked potato. Should be simple enough to get this info !

### 1/5 — Food list counts cholesterol for STRAWBERRIES at 300g!

*2018-04-24*

Can’t trust the food values.records cholesterol in Strawberries at 300g. Strawberries have 0 cholesterol. Disappointed.

### 1/5 — Still has ads!

*2017-10-23, version 2.6.3*

The app says that if you purchase two features it will remove the ads. After purchasing the required two additional features the ads still pop up and make the app extremely annoying. 

One star rating for bait and switch tactics

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-06-06, version 7.0.1*

Great app that has many features the can be looked at. Would be nice if adding food items was easier.

### 5/5 — Very helpful with my diabetes

*2026-06-05, version 7.0.1*

I’ve used in for many years and would really hate to change.  I can take the 3 month printout to my Dr at checkup time. He really likes the format and compliments it every time.  They scan it in as part of my permanent record.

### 5/5 — Great app

Great app

Very useful
Thank you

### 5/5 — Daily carb

*2024-04-17, version 5.1.1*

One of the best apps I found for tracking carbs. Also the other tracking categories give one a very good picture of your overall health progress.  The carb tracking is “spot on”  Very easy to use.  Great Job

### 5/5 — Daily Carb

*2024-02-08, version 5.1.1*

Still getting used to the features, which are many. I appreciate all of the options for tracking, I just hope it doesn't become a second job, as it is time consuming to enter all if the data... but the app does a good job of making that as easy as can be. Overall I'm quite impressed with the ability to track so much in one app, and with a whole lot of default data options.

### 5/5 — Great Tool

*2024-01-06, version 5.1.1*

So very helpful to monitor critical numbers and see over time how you are doing.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2023-12-02, version 5.1.1*

Great app

### 5/5 — Very helpful with my diabetes

*2023-12-01*

I’ve used in for many years and would really hate to change.  I can take the 3 month printout to my Dr at checkup time. He really likes the format and compliments it every time.  They scan it in as part of my permanent record.
