Brilliant app
After some technical problems MacrosFirst were able to sort everything out. The app is excellent for logging food and has a lot of nutritional information, not just carbs, fats, protein and calories. This app gives you a breakdown of all nutrients. There’s a wide variety of foods already on the app and it’s super easy to add your own. I love the fact that you can have multiple meals a day, naming them whenever you want, not just the standard breakfast, lunch and dinner. Everything is synced up to Apple Health, so very easy to track everything.

Calories are off from what it should be
I recently purchased another truck that also lets you track macros and they compare the results to the same foods. The calories protein carbs values were absolutely different. I then double checked the nutrition information online and it turned out that values in MacrosFirst are significantly inaccurate
My example was with chicken breast and it’s inaccurate for 100cal and 10g of protein. When you are in a calorie deficit this amount of numbers matters a lot

No help
I’ve done everything to sync MacrosFirst with Apple Health and it will only pick up one item (even when I don’t log the particular item). Sadly the help centre just says it works fine there end, so zero help. I’ve chased them for a week for any help or an update, same thing “works there end”, which isn’t a great help. I’ve tried everything, even removing the app, re-syncing, syncing iCloud… nothing. I’ll probably end up back with MyFitnessPal, at least this shows all foods for the day.

Best tracker
Best tracker but please can you do a widget for iPhones? It’d be so much better to have the app right in front of the user
SCAM ALERT
This is a SCAM app charges you non stop wether you cancel it or not. Even if you don’t sign up for one at all. IVE CONTACTED APPLE AND EVEN INACTIVE IT STILL KEEP CHARGING ME 41.99. SCAM ALERT. App will steal your money! Do not use!

Free app that has all you need simple way to navigate
Great but two major annoyances
I’ve been using this app for a couple months now and overall am very pleased. The number of features they provide on the free version is impressive! And I rarely have to manually enter a food (even for restaurants) because the number of items they already have is so vast. But I can’t for the life of me figure out why I need to essentially confirm adding food to the journal TWICE. You click into the meal, search or scan your food, insert the amount and save. But that simply adds it to a queue that you have to save again! I have had to redo so many entries because if you don’t save it the second time and you leave the app for too long it wipes out everything you’ve entered. Even if I remember all the details it’s super frustrating to have to enter it again. But it’s even worse when I have no recollection of the serving size and there’s no way for me to retrieve that. I use a scale a lot, so if I haven’t taken down the weight somewhere else, that information is just gone. I wish it would save it to my day the first time. Then if I get pulled away and can’t finish entering everything from my meal in one session, it’s there for me to pick up and finish later. I have ADHD and a toddler so I rarely finish entering everything from my meal in one session. Saving too aggressively is much easier to recover from than saving too conservatively. I’d much rather have to delete things that were saved too soon than lose information I can’t get back because it’s saved too late. Also my husband and I share meals and recipes back-and-forth quite frequently. When I open a recipe he shared with me and select log it to my day a date picker and list of meals shows up. If I select the meal but then change the date, it resets the meal and I have to enter it again! The meal selection should not be affected by the date picker. This one is more of a nuisance than a functional issue, but it’s still aggravating. If those two things were fixed this would be a five star review.

Response from developer
Hi there, Thanks for your review and honest feedback. I'm happy to share that you can log foods in one tap: After tapping on a food in the search results and entering your serving size, just tap the "Log" button in the number pad and that logs the food to your Journal -- no need to reconfirm anything, it just gets logged straight away. Regarding the date + meal picker, since different days can have different meals, the meal options to log to do reset when you change the date. For this reason we default you to today's date when saving a meal to a friend but I do understand that it is easy to miss. Best, -JB
Challenge to cancel!
App is fine BUT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO CANCEL. 3 attempts to cancel my subscription and I’m still not satisfied that cancellation was accomplished. Very aggravating.

Fantastic app, Definitely recommend it!!
This app has pretty much every cuisine & nutritional details. It makes tracking very very easy. Loving this application thus far!! Definitely recommend it!!
The best tracker out there
Believe me when I tell you that I have tried them all, and this is the only one that I have found to be accurate, intuitive, all inclusive, and just plain easy to use. I can customize it very easily to see what’s important to me and kudos to the developers!!!
Wow
If you are honest with yourself- this is so eye opening!
Love this for tracking
This is a great app for tracking food. The owners are always making improvements and reach out for feedback. I’ve been paying for the premium version for a few years now after leaving MFP.
Thanks
The his app help me alot
Best calorie tracking app
This app is so easy and dope
Best Macros Tracking App Out There
The free version of this app offers more features than most other apps, and makes tracking food, weight, water, etc. a breeze.
Best Free App Hands Down
Been using for years, has everything I need without the bs. Also all key features aren’t gatekeeped behind a paywall. Surprised it isn’t #1 on here.
Like the new updates, but laggy
I really like the new updates where you can plan your meals and have a set menu for the week. But for some reason I can’t go back and add missed meals anymore. I can choose the foods but I can’t actually log them - the button doesn’t work. And the app is running sluggishly. Needs a bit more debugging.

It is tuff
Doesn't list Fiber as one of the main nutrients tracked
I really wanted to love this app, but my dietitian wants me to track fiber, protein, carbs, and fat. This tracker lists protein, carbs, fat and calories in the main section next to each food item but not fiber. You have to drill down into the other nutrients to find fiber. People have been requesting this option for two years and it still hasn't been instituted.
I've since deleted the app.
