Excellent macro/calorie tracker
Been using this for several years now. 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.

Misleading
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.
Love the app
Really loving this and finding it super easy to use and keep track!
Bad marketing
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

Disappointed
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.
Recipes not shareable
I am not able to share custom recipes with my girlfriend so we have to recreate it every time
Cancel by EMAIL
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

Charged My Card After Years of me Canceling
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!

Highly Recommend
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 👏🏼

Best app I've ever used
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.

Renewed without warning after cancellation
Renewed without warning even though I had previously cancelled. Only gave me a 50% refund. And the app is nothing special. Go elsewhere. There are better options with better service out there.
Great except… no sync options
I love this app for tracking Macros and the staxchat support! I left for a bit, then went back. The adjustment of macros for rest/workout days has changed life, as long as you follow them. I only wish it supported syncing to apple health or any other workout app so that I can look at my combined data. I don’t want to have to add my meals in two separate places 😕.

Horrible
Renews without informing you and charges an absurd amount. Not worth a cent. Horrible experience.
Do not sign up
This organisation just takes your money. No reminders. They just bill you. Please be careful about signing up. Make sure you cancel well in advance and remember when your billing cycle is because they won’t email you, or send any reminders. Oh and no refunds of course.
Nope
Shiftiest organisation ever when it comes to renewals. No reminders whatsoever, then charge large sums to you card and say it’s your fault because this happening is buried in the terms and conditions and that you are expected to remember. Clearly most people will forget and get caught out by this. Sign up at your peril, but put a reminder in your calendar to cancel with plenty of time.

Great App!
Helps meet goals without starving yourself. Would love if you bring back fill my macros!
10/10 !
I’m a 40 yr old mother of a 4 year old and a 6 month old. Never did I think I’d be able to look and feel the way I did pre pregnancy. Until I started on Macrostax! They take all the guess work out on how and when to adjust your macros and even have endless recipes to keep your nutrition fun and exciting. I’m now leaner and healthier than I was before children and fitter than I was in my 20’s!

Thank you for sharing your experience!
Macrostax at its finest
For as many ways in my lifetime that I’ve attempted to find a healthy way of eating, working out and resting , nothing compares to the structure that Macrostax offers to reach and maintain a healthy lifestyle
Thank you Macrostax!
Thank you Macrostax!
Can’t do without it
I had Macrostax and then I quit it. I thought I could do without it and save a few bucks. I’ve made a few poor decisions in my life and this was one of them. Macrostax took out the guesswork for me in reaching my fat loss and later muscle gain goals. The recipes are DELICIOUS, and simple, and economic. The nutritionist are super quick and engaging to respond in the chat. And when you hit your green thumbs, that celebratory confetti on the screen is a real dopamine producer. This app beats any other of the big ones in market. The cost is a nominal investment for a big payout just a few weeks into your program. Macrostax is great for beginners and pro athletes alike!

Consistency, not perfection
Nothing else has proven to give effective results regardless of what type of working out I’ve been doing. I’m not always perfect but when I stay consistent, I see the results. And the recipes have been a huge help!!
