I love how easy it is to enter foods and keep track of macros and calories. The bar code scanner is very helpful. When I’ve needed the chat feature they’ve always been very responsive and helpful. The only downside I can see is it’s not cheap. But it absolutely does what it’s supposed to do. ### 1/5 — Misleading *2025-09-17, version 1.23.15* This app is essentially a recipe site. Macros are high and use is cumbersome. What was experienced was not what was advertised. The annual membership is throwing away $279.00. Beware before you sign up. ### 5/5 — Love the app *2025-06-23, version 1.23.12* Really loving this and finding it super easy to use and keep track! ### 1/5 — Bad marketing *2025-05-26, version 1.23.12* I signed up and ended up cancelling less than a month in and they won't refund my Money I paid for a year-169.99 ### 3/5 — Disappointed *2025-03-25, version 1.23.7* The data base of food choices/menu’s is just not there for gluten free or even dairy alternatives. I tried replacing meals that were duplicated for the day as well, lunch and dinner on one day was chili with no replacement. Perhaps there’s a glitch . It was enough to have me cancel on day 1. ### 1/5 — Recipes not shareable *2025-01-27, version 1.23.7* I am not able to share custom recipes with my girlfriend so we have to recreate it every time ### 1/5 — Cancel by EMAIL *2024-10-16, version 1.23.3* To cancel PLEASE SEND EMAIL. I cancelled in App and I was still charged so PLEASE READ FINE PRINT. I have to take blame partially. But then again I canceled in app but was still charged. Not to mention I did not like app that is why I cancelled did not see benefits and it did not help weight loss ### 1/5 — Charged My Card After Years of me Canceling *2024-02-09, version 1.21.1* I’ve been Cancelled my subscription and they charge my card without my authorization. It seems like the new app is charging users of the older app version cards even when they already been cancelled their subscription and the only way to reach them by email. They don’t answer their phone number that my bank said is their actual number. I need my money back in my account to pay my phone bill. Please give me my $119.88 back. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Highly Recommend *2024-01-07* I never write review for apps, but I’ve paid for and used several macro trackers over the years, and this one outshines them by miles. I love the user friendly aspects of this app, and how easy it is to scan barcodes to instantly get the macro. Also, OBSESSED with the recipes they provide. I hate cooking, and have never been great at making a tasty meal (especially one that is healthy) but I have been cooking and meal prepping like crazy with this app and every single meal has been delicious! Even my husband enjoys the meals. They list out the ingredients easily, so shopping for groceries is a breeze, and I love that you can edit/customize the meals and still get accurate macros. I highly recommend this app 👏🏼 ### 5/5 — Best app I've ever used *2023-09-14* I have tried them all. I was a MFP user since they first came out. However over time they have gone downhill. After they started limiting more and more features I began my search for a new app. I tried LoseIt, Calorie Counter, Cronometer, etc - none were user friendly or limited access to features I love (like the scanning feature). Macrostat not only has the scanning feature on their free version, but they are the most user friendly app I have ever used. I love how it shows the macros not only daily but for each meal. I can adjust ingredients very easily from the main screen. If I want more protein from a certain ingredient, I can just adjust the protein and it tells me what serving size I need. Overall I'm very impressed and I hope these features remain free. ## Frequently asked questions about Macrostax ### What does Macrostax do?
