Please tell me how to fix ### 2/5 — Counts Cals but no weight loss *2026-08-18* I’ve been using this for a few years. It’s great at counting calories but whatever it’s using to assess what I need to do to lose weight does not work. I’ve tried everything. I’ve tried being honest, putting in my actual age, weight and height, telling it to lose weight and following it strictly and not losing weight. I think because of my age it’s not correctly accounting for menopause and that I need to be more restrictive so I tell her that I’m shorter or that I’m lighter or that I’m older so that it will reduce my calories and I still don’t lose weight. I am strict as possible, and I still don’t lose weight. Sometimes I allow it to account for the exercise I do every day and sometimes I don’t. It doesn’t matter. I still don’t lose weight. After three or four years of using this app I’m up 25 pounds rather than down any weight. I don’t eat out. I don’t eat with friends. I don’t do anything but follow this app strictly. It’s not worth it. Maybe if you’re 20, you’ll lose weight no matter what you do. But this app is not designed either for women or for older people or I’m not sure what. **Developer response:** Thanks for using Macros for so many years, and I’m sorry to hear that you’ve had such a frustrating experience. The calorie target in Macros is an estimate calculated from the age, height, weight, activity level and goal entered in the app. It is not able to account for every individual factor that can affect energy requirements, including physiological changes such as menopause, and it should not be considered an individualized medical or nutritional assessment. I would also recommend using your actual age, height and weight rather than changing these values to obtain a lower calorie target, as this can make the estimate less meaningful. Exercise calories and the selected activity level can also affect the calculation and, in some configurations, may result in activity being counted twice. If the calculated target has consistently not matched your experience, please contact me through the app and I’ll be happy to review your settings with you. For significant or unexplained changes in weight, it may also be appropriate to discuss this with a qualified healthcare professional. ### 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. ### 5/5 — Maravilho *2026-05-16* Sou apaixonada por esse app, ele é simples, objetivo, fácil e rápido de inserir informações. Há muito tempo isso ele, sem precisar pagar nada. **Developer response:** Muito obrigado pelo carinho! Fico muito feliz em saber que o app é simples e rápido para você no dia a dia. Isso significa muito. ### 5/5 — Very happy *2026-04-20, version 2.0.7* Super easy to use. Love that you’re not bombarded with ads. Very easy to add new products or recipes ### 5/5 — It just works *2026-03-26, version 2.0.7* Nothing extra and no stupid features that have nothing to do with diet or food. The food database is loaded and I am yet to not have it work. I use it every day. ### 3/5 — Not the worst *2026-01-24, version 2.0.7* It’s by far, not the worst app for tracking macros, I purchased the subscription to unlock everything. My biggest issue with this app is the way it tries to force you to set your macros goals based off of calories. When in custom settings, you should not be limited by how you set your macro, such as protein, two carbs to fat ratio, depending upon what you have set for recommended daily calories. If you just want to follow the norm and stick to what this app tells you you should do then it would be fine ### 5/5 — Very good app *2026-01-23, version 2.0.7* I love this app. It allows you to learn how to keep heathy from the app and lose weight! ### 5/5 — The best app for tracking. *2026-01-18, version 2.0.7* Get a food scale and track with this app. You are guaranteed to be successful as long as you do the work. The best app out there. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-01-16, version 2.0.7* Easy to use ### 5/5 — I like it *2025-12-15, version 2.0.7* I have tried a bunch of apps. This one is the best in the free version. Also the design and interface are very calm nothing sensory overloading ### 5/5 — highly recommend *2025-11-27, version 2.0.7* i’ve been using this app for (going on) 3 years now and i’ve tried almost every other macro app on the market and they don’t beat this. no pushing ads, nothing extra, just calculate your macros. simple to use, simple to change things and simple to create foods. i also really love that the app is user-orientated and focus on improving the experience. ### 5/5 — Happy Customer *2025-11-18, version 2.0.4* Tried a variety of calorie/macro apps prior to choosing Macros. And years later… still renewing membership. Used free version for a couple years, but now simply want to support a great app (plus there are some great features on the plus version). Keep up the good work and great customer service.👍 ### 4/5 — Why ads with subscription? *2025-10-29, version 2.0.4* I’ve been using this for years and pay for the subscription and now there are ads? ### 5/5 — Boston Mike *2025-10-10, version 2.0.4* Day one today . I will update every month . Excited about the details and the journey . ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — All food macros are incorrect *2026-02-02, version 2.0.7* I’ve used this app before without a problem, but since a couple weeks it’s been a pain to use because every single food I scan or search for has wrong macros, no exceptions. It’s always randomly off about 20-40 cal, and somewhere 4-5g under for the protein. I have to correct every entry manually, making it just non-practical. ### 1/5 — Não funciona mais no espelhamento do iPhone *2025-09-03* Uso o app há alguns anos para montar planos para meus pacientes. Infelizmente, nessa última atualização não é mais possível utilizá-lo via espelhamento do iPhone. A versão para Mac também apresenta falhas, principalmente na busca pelos nomes dos modelos de dieta. Tenho mais de 1000 modelos cadastrados e agora preciso procurar um por um até encontrar o que desejo, antigamente tinha como filtrar o nome. Esses detalhes inviabilizaram meu uso. No geral, a estética ficou bacana, mas esses problemas me fizeram parar de usar o app. ### 1/5 — Used to be great *2025-08-25, version 2.0.4* This app used to be fast and simple. Now it's riddled with adds and animations that make it unusable. Glitch, slow, terrible. Don't change a good thing. ### 1/5 — Hate hate hate the redesign *2025-08-03, version 2.0.2* Used this for years and really hate the change you did ### 1/5 — Macros vc cal *2024-03-18, version 1.10.12* Hitting the macros but not the calories... impossible and weird. Something is not right. I used to use this app a lot before. I dont know what happened in the meantime ### 1/5 — Pretty pointless app *2023-12-06, version 1.10.12* It’s a decent app to keep track of your macros if you’re going to enter everything manually as almost all of the default foods already on the app have incorrect information with the correct food label so you think it’s correct but you will actually be getting a different daily calorie intake to what the app is telling you unless you read and enter each nutrient count yourself which defeats the object of the app since you could do that in your notes on your phone or on paper. ### 1/5 — Relies on pseudoscience for recommendations *2023-10-25, version 1.10.12* I’ve used this app a few times to record my calories when I feel like I’m under eating. It’s helpful for that. However, I recently stop using it because I realized that the calorie recommendations are based on BMI. The Body Mass Index was invented by a mathematician, not a medical doctor. As a short person my BMI is often high. Yet I am healthy and heavier than other females my height due to muscle mass (not that there’s anything wrong with being or having fat). The app assumed I wanted to lose weight and recommend I put myself in a caloric deficit when I gave it my true weight. TLDR; app assumed my goal was to lose weight without asking and encouraged me to go into a calorie deficit. All based on the sketchy science of the BMI. Wouldn’t recommend. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2023-08-15, version 1.10.12* App keeps shutting down! Useless ### 1/5 — Not good *2023-08-10, version 1.10.12* Type in chicken breast and each selection has a different amount of protein with the same weight ### 1/5 — I will change my rating as soon I get confirmation from support. *2023-02-05, version 1.10.9* The reviews on this app lead me to believe this would allow me to create a diet plan based on adding my own food library or using their database. Thus I could share this with my healthcare providers. However, I could have saved hours and hours of tinkering around with adding products to “My Foods” and just wrote out my diet on a piece of paper like one would do it back in the day. I still cannot find this generic food database or whatever the list of features claims this app has. Basically all I did was enter a bunch of foods I eat as well as their barcodes and then to create my meals, all I can do is add one of those foods based on services sizes. Well that doesn’t work when you have a custom diet based on percentages. I hope I am wrong, and have missed something. But until support contacts me and confirms one way or another, this was not worth my money at all. Like I said, pen and paper would have saved hours and hours of product logging. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Meilleur appli de suivi d’alimentation *2026-10-21* La meilleure appli pour suivre son alimentation, j’ai tout essayé et c’est la seule qui ne force pas à utiliser l’ia et passer 20 minutes à expliquer ses objectifs à l’installation de lappli, c facile a utiliser, je l’utilise depuis plusieurs années, y’a pas plus simple **Developer response:** Un grand merci pour ton retour. Ça fait plaisir de savoir que tu utilises toujours Macros après plusieurs années. ### 5/5 — To amando! *2026-10-14* Baixei por indicação e tá me ajudando muito a ter mais noção de como eu to me alimentando em relação à proporção de carboidratos, gorduras e proteínas. Tem muuuuitos produtos cadastrados e o mais legal é que é super fácil de adicionar um novo produto, caso vc não encontre. Super recomendo pra quem quer ter essa noção de composição do prato, ajuda a equilibrar as refeições e se alimentar melhor **Developer response:** Muito obrigado! Ficamos felizes que o Macros esteja te ajudando 😊 ### 5/5 — My choice for calorie tracker *2026-09-10, version 2.1.3* The easiest simplest most effective app i have used been using it for 5 year never let me down once ### 5/5 — Best app I’ve ever added *2026-09-07, version 2.1.3* Love this macro tracker app. Reasonable pricing if you want to upgrade without adds too! ### 5/5 — My favorite calorie tracker ever *2026-07-24, version 2.1.0* easy to use and so incredibly helpful. not full of a bunch of unnecessary stuff like myfitnesspal is. i have been using this for like a year and a half im so grateful for this app honestly ### 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!
