### 5/5 — Keeping on track

*2026-07-20, version 2.1.0*

The app easy to follow and it keeps me on track

### 5/5 — perfeito

*2026-07-15*

eu uso esse aplicativo todos os dias e em 6 meses consegui perder 9 quilos, gosto muito do aplicativo pq tenho muito controle sobre oq eu como e quanto de água eu consumo no dia, a única melhoria que eu gostaria é q tivesse opções mais fixas sobre os alimentos, muitos dos alimentos são os próprios usuários q criaram e eu sinto falta de ter uma tabela certinha pra seguir, as vezes por exemplo as calorias de um alimento estão certas mas os macros não. Gostaria q tivessem mais alimentos com a tabela nutricional correta. 
Entendo q em receitas caseiras é interessante q nos usuários façamos ali uma nova criação, mas faz falta ter algo certinho já q o intuito é ter o controle sobre carbo, proteína e gordura. Entretanto, é um ótimo aplicativo, amo e vou continuar usando ksksk.
É muito interessante que msm gratuito ele tenha como guardar sua idade, seu peso, e até escolher o tipo de dieta a seguir, tbm gosto bastante que o aplicativo recomenda uma quantidade de água diária e vc pode alterar podendo colocar uma meta maior do q seu corpo necessita.

**Developer response:** Obrigado pela avaliação e parabéns pelos 9 kg! Estamos trabalhando para melhorar a base de dados, e você deverá notar melhorias nos próximos meses.

### 5/5 — Top demais !

*2026-07-10*

O melhor aplicativo de contar calorias .

**Developer response:** Muito obrigado pela ótima avaliação! Ficamos muito felizes em saber que o Macros está ajudando você no dia a dia.

### 5/5 — Macros

*2026-07-09, version 2.1.0*

The best app for Macros

### 5/5 — Excelente

*2026-07-08*

Simples e eficiente

### 5/5 — The best macros app

*2026-07-07, version 2.1.0*

I’ve tried other apps, but this is far the best. Even the free version is amazing.

### 5/5 — Mto bom

*2026-07-06*

Recomendo

### 5/5 — Love Macros

*2026-07-05, version 2.1.0*

I’ve been using this app for 12 months now. With its help I have lost 2 stone. Most foods or good alternative on here. Would love a scan facility.

### 4/5 — Great calorie tracker for cheap

*2026-06-15, version 2.0.7*

It’s an affordable calorie tracker that does pretty much everything you need, as long as you already know how many calories you should be eating.

The only feature missing is a mode where you can input how many calories of a specific food you want to eat and then the app tells you the g that you need to get to those calories . Adding that would make it a 5-star app.

### 5/5 — Ótimo app

*2026-06-04*

Aplicativo simples e muito útil de usar, consigo adicionar os alimentos que não tem na biblioteca muito fácil e com isso me manter alinhado com minha dieta independente do alimento que vou consumir no dia.

**Developer response:** Muito obrigado! Fico feliz que o app esteja sendo útil e fácil de adaptar à sua rotina.
