Better than MyFitnessPal by far
Love this app but..
No complaints! I love everything about this app seriously from the quick barcode scans to the large food database it’s perfect and has been by my side for two years now. THE ONLY THING IS if I enter a food and want to select the quantity of how much I’m eating some foods won’t give me the option to select cup, tbsp etc. It’ll only show grams, oz, serving, lb, options. Not really a big deal but I now have to think before entering vs not thinking and quickly entering said food serving.

Finally, Nutrition Tracking That Clicks
I’m absolutely loving MacroFactor. It has been genuinely eye-opening seeing what I’m actually eating each day, especially the little calories that are so easy to overlook.
Food logging is incredibly easy, and I love how much useful data the app gives you without making it feel overwhelming. The metrics, trend tracking, and ability to personalize everything around your own goals make it feel like much more than just another calorie-tracking app.
I’m currently using it during my weight-loss journey, but I can already see myself continuing to use MacroFactor through maintenance and eventually into muscle building. It feels like an app that can actually grow and adapt with my goals instead of being something I’ll stop using once I reach a certain weight.
So far, I’m extremely impressed. It has made me much more aware of my nutrition while still letting me focus on consistency rather than perfection. Highly recommend it.

Excellent App
After watching a few videos about what the app could do, I felt a little intimidated and worried it would be hard to learn. Turns out the app is super user friendly, fast and doesn’t seem to have any bugs. It is helping me control my bindge eating. Love it! Have only been using it for 3 days and have lost almost 2 pounds!

Vitamin & Mineral Tracking needs work
This has been a great app overall - intuitive and easy to use, the coaching aspect is helpful. The main thing that’s lacking is reliable micronutrient tracking. It would be very helpful if the nutrient data source was clearly labeled on food items, without having to click on them. Also, would like to see more foods imported from NCCDB, for more accurate micronutrient tracking.

Stop changing the design
Developers keep changing the UI layout.
Changed my life
I’ve genuinely never felt better about myself than now and it’s all thanks to this app. I’m at my goal, and I still use it to maintain. And the app just keeps getting better! They’re improving it constantly
Loooove Macro Factor
I really enjoy macro factor for tracking my macros! I feel like when I trust the program I definitely start to see a difference! The only thing I wish is when you check in and it updates your program and adds or takes away calories, I wish it would give you a reasoning.
Not always accurate.
Be careful to check nutritional information before logging. I have found many discrepancies compared to the nutritional labels on the packages. At times, even scanning the barcode on food package did not bring up accurate information. It’s frustrating to have to make all these corrections before logging your food.

Good app, frustrating updates
Best food logging app I’ve used to date with a lot of neat tools for different situations and goals. However, every so often they will make pointless UI updates no one asked for with no heads up and sometimes no way to go back to your original settings. So good luck figuring out how they messed up as you go about your regular logging workflow just to realize you can’t anymore and have to figure out how to adapt to the new way of doing things with no documentation or guide.
Stop changing things for the sake of change ffs. Makes me want to delete this annoyance off my phone and find a different app that won’t rugpull my settings for fun.

Glorified tracker
TLDR: the coached program fails or isn’t coded to notice, or rather, care that its own prescription wasn’t producing the outcome it was designed to produce, with no user facing explanation or attempt to intervene. Your coach is goal- informed, but not nearly as accountable to it and can diverge.
While I don’t expect it to override physics, from my perspective, the coach sometimes will outright fail at its job, because the estimation model is intentionally conservative (although there are good reasons why). But the limitation, is that concept takes precedence over anything else. Attempting to fix it takes you through arguably poor UX; resetting separate settings respectively and maybe outside tools/knowledge and foresight to do so. This is added to the fact that the conservative estimates can go for absurd lengths of time, weeks to even months while basically defying the intended goal without intervention, which while easy to fix, is still odd for a premium. $$
This example of the conservatism isn’t an exaggeration: you can practically be in a deficit by a total of a couple pounds over the span of a month, despite your targets intending on a bulk. Comically, the formula will tell you to get back on track on a fresh week, you should eat less than half of a banana on top of the food you already eat.
Highly recommend if your fitness status prior to using this app was largely in ignorance to you, you should use your own outside tool to estimate your own initial expenditure while still allowing the app to dynamically adjust. The apps best feature to me is its convenience of logging data; the actual work of applying it, remains on you for a price.

Beat tracking app I’ve used
I’ve used a few tracking apps over the last 10+ years but have been using macro factor the last 3. It is by far the best I’ve used.E Easy to figure out, quickly navigable, well formatted, clean easy to reference dashboard and good log and fantastic for making, storing and referencing recipes or meals.
I used my fitness pal for years, and macro factor, in my opinion is far better.

This app is useful
Makes it easy to track
I’ve tried many calorie tracking apps in the past. One of the biggest hurdles has always been how hard it is track items that are not in the database, and even when food is in the database, entering it might take several steps. I found MacroFactor when I was looking for an app that would give me the lowest friction possible. MacroFactor makes it so much easier to track consistently. When something isn’t in the database (and many things aren’t), I can use their AI tool to get a close-enough estimate. I can also use the AI tool to get a good estimate when I’m out at a restaurant and can’t weigh my food. Thanks for MacroFactor, I lost 20 lbs in less than 4 months.

Hard to switch between days
I usually really like this app, but my bf and I both agree that the new update where it’s so much harder to flip through different days is very frustrating. Please change it back.
Pay wall garbage
Has you enter a mountain of into only to tell you you can use the app without paying $11 a month to hell with this.
Incredibly overcomplicated, not user intuitive
I used this during a free two week trial. It was so difficult to log food and is not user intuitive at all. Everything is very complicated to go back and edit or change and it seems more focused on showing pretty metrics than actually being user intuitive. Feels like something made for the gym bros who are doing too much instead of actually being something I would turn to regularly to use.

Exceptional Tracker
I have used this app for almost 2 years and I cannot recommend it enough for daily calorie, macro tracking, and reaching your fitness goals.
