After 6 days ....

Using Hoot after a several month hiatus from using Fat Secret, it's so much faster that I feel I may actually stick with it. Hoot recognizes what I text or say, and even though the feedback comments are quite lame, the 4 stars are because it is good enough so far and I have some confidence that it will work.

My kids think I'm lame too, but we'll keep showing up even after 6 days. Hope we can earn that 5th star, so just let us know if there's anything we can improve on or if you have any issues. In the meantime, we'll try to be less lame ;) Thanks for giving Hoot a chance!

So far so good!

I love the ease of use of describing my meal without having to put in every ingredient separately. I don’t need the total accuracy of weighing my food but I do just want to be aware of what I’m eating so this app works perfectly for that! When I first tried the app, I was finding that it wasn’t super accurate and I had to calculate on the side to correct the app. But they seemed to have fixed it pretty quickly and after trying it again, it seems to be a lot more accurate! I’m impressed!

Hi Madj, thanks so much for taking the time to update your review and sticking with us. We'll keep working hard to improve the accuracy and the rest of the overall experience!

Good but …..

I tried this using the 3 day trial (thank you for offering that). While I like it I did not purchase because the only way to add food already eaten is to describe it ~ the same if you need to change something that you did take a picture of (example peanut butter vs cookie butter). Too time consuming for me. Also wish there was barcode scanning. These are my personal preferences so I still gave the app 4 stars.

Great app & dev

I have been using calorie tracker and nutrition macro trackers for years. Hoot is my favorite. I appreciate the clean, intuitive approach and interface. The data is accurate. The developer is responsive and genuinely cares about the users. The ongoing changes and improvements to the app are impressive and much appreciated.

Hope your experience continues to feel simple and easy to use! Thanks for the kind words giving Hoot a shot!

Exactly what I’ve been looking for

If you’re tired of the same ole’ boring calorie log then this is for you. It’s adorable and so helpful. The ai camera is so easy to use and very accurate. I’m so happy I found the perfect tracker. Download it. You won’t be disappointed!

Great app

Good app alternative for MyFitnessPal. Good tracking and decent AI photo logging.

However, whenever I click on “Progress,” the app crashes. ios 26.5 iphone 15 pro max

All the rest is good…. Done button is mostly off the screen and very difficult to select!

Loving it!

So easy to use! Helps me keep track of what I’m eating and gives me recommendations to enhance my diet. Haven’t gotten my calories burned tracker yet but I believe I can connect it to app to get an even better idea of how to best lose weight and maintain weight loss. I paid yearly fee and so far it’s been totally worth it.

Helpful and Encouraging

I have been using hoot for about three weeks now, and am benefitting from it. I have tried a few different apps in this space and have settled on this one. I’m looking for a tracking app to help me log meals and lose weight, but also one that guides me to eat better. Each meal you log in Hoot gives a nutrition score, and tips on how to make it better. So while my morning smoothie was relatively healthy, it could be even better with some spinach and chia seeds. Not something I didn’t know, but a good reminder. Tips are always given in an encouraging, non-judgemental manner. The daily nutrition scores are motivating and I’m trying to improve them.

The logging via photo and voice/text is pretty impressive. Occasionally it will hiccup. What is nice is that the app will show you the assumptions it used to come to the calculation. You can review that and do a “quick adjust” such as “that was not ground beef, but chorizo” or “I had two servings.” Calories and macros are updated automatically.

The developer is very open to feedback, and reached out to me personally for improvement ideas. One that I’d like to see is to make it easier to copy recent meals to today without first making it a favorite. He was in agreement and said others have requested this as well and is already under development.

This is a solid app that will only get better with time. The premium subscription is worth the price when compared to similar offerings. Give it a try! You won’t be disappointed!

Burt, this absolutely made our day. Thank you for the thoughtful review and for taking the time to share what’s working and what we can improve on! Quick update for you: the recent meals feature you asked about is live as of this weekend. You can now log a recent meal straight to today without favoriting it first. Your feedback directly shaped how we built it, so thank you for the nudge. Keep the ideas coming. — The Hoot team 🦉

The best Calorie tracker out there!

Hoot makes calorie tracking unbelievably easy. The AI food logging is fast, accurate, and saves me so much time compared to other apps. I love that it doesn’t feel tedious or overwhelming, it actually makes it simple to stay consistent. Definitely one of the best nutrition apps out there.

Way Better than MyFitnessPal!

Hoot is amazing! I've used MyFitnessPal for years but Hoot is on another level. Logging food is super easy, calorie tracking is noticeably more accurate, and the insights are helpful and motivating. The interface is also really nice and easy to navigate. As a busy mom, I don't have a lot of time for apps but Hoot makes it simple to keep track of what I'm eating. I love Hoot and I highly recommend it!

Easiest calorie tracker ever

Finally quit myfitnesspal after they kept changing it for the worse and charging too much. Found Hoot in the App Store and have been using it every day since. Highly recommend!!

Excellent!

I have been using Hoot for a short time, but so far have been very satisfied with it. Having tried many similar apps over the years, I can safely say that Hoot is one of the most user friendly and visually appealing apps of its kind I have seen. Not only that, the food scanning feature is very accurate. I look forward to continuing to use it for my weight loss journey. Keep up the great work Hoot!

Thanks so much for this. Hearing Hoot stands out after you've tried a bunch of other apps means so much! Wishing you all the best on your weight loss journey. We're rooting for you.

An easy-to-use health guide

I downloaded Hoot right after a beach vacation over the holidays that left me feeling like less than my fittest self. In only a few months, the calorie tracking (with a calorie ceiling recommended by the app!) HAS made a big difference in how my pants fit. It’s a breeze to use & it helps me be more intentional about what I eat.

Love this. The fact that you went from that post-vacation feeling to actually seeing results in a few months is exactly what Hoot is built for. And 'more intentional about what I eat' is the whole goal. Not perfection, just awareness. Thanks for sharing this and keep it going.

Simple, Smart & Actually Helpful

Love this app! It makes tracking food and macros super easy without feeling overwhelming. The AI feature is surprisingly accurate and saves so much time. Perfect for staying on track with health goals while keeping things simple. Keeps me on track. Highly recommend! 💪✨

Macro tracking made easy!

I’ve used a lot of calorie trackers, and this is by far the easiest. The AI is super impressive. It identifies ingredients from homemade recipes. Love Hoot!

Best Tracker Yet

I’ve used many trackers and I just started using this app. But it is by far the easiest app to use when logging your food intake. The ability to dictate and/or just take a picture is awesome!
