Too time consuming and not good for achieving fitness goals
You need to be a health junkie and and personal trainer with a degree to understand all of the technical rubbish in this app. I can see why it’s free. It’s not too helpful and you would spend way too much time trying to understand it rather than focussing on your weight loss or fitness goals
Love this app
And it helped heaps to reach my goal and
Plan my meals. However suggestion to Mike: if possible, please add a way to track water, I really could use an integrated feature to do that. Thanks and congrats on the app, really clean and simple.

Great resource
Great resource that is available 100% free. Love the simplicity. Would love a barcode scanner and would be willing to pay a few bucks for it too
Best macros app out there!
Superbly thought out app with much greater accuracy and ease of use than others out there, and it’s entirely free! No ads! What’s more, Mike is a standup guy and will personally reply if contacted with an issue regarding the app or figuring out your macros! Just check out his blog posts - it’s clear he knows what he’s talking about and that he walks the walk.

Error and won’t load
Tried to use the app and it gives me an error and won’t load. Checked the other reviews and it’s been going on for awhile. Moving on
This app doesn’t work
Downloaded this app from a recommendation from a book Eat it. But when I put in my info it fails saying there is an error and get a spinny wheel which does nothing until I close the app. Oh well.
LOVE the app, Mike, but….
PLEASE add the ability to re-order our list of saved meals!
I can’t even use the app
Anytime I try to create a profile it just says there’s an error…fix your app.
So far so good
The app is pretty simple to use and so far so good. Would like it if you were able to use your camera to scan the bar code of the food, but other than that it works well.
Can’t even set up
Entered name and email then app just hung after pop-up. Could never even see information.
Could be great because it is very simple…
But… the very first food I put in 150 grams of strawberries had the wrong macros. It initially showed a 100 gram serving , however when recording the serving it says per/10 gram serving. So I can easily see the mistake, there was a placement error, but to a new individual the would mislead them to thinking that 150g of strawberries is actually 211 carbs. (It’s not).

Great macro app! The best one I have used.
It is easy to use! It works! I love the “plain-ness” of it!! No ads. I heard about it from Jordan Syatt.
Latest update ruined the screen
What happened? I’m using iPhone dark mode and after the latest update I can barely see the macros. It was fine before the update. Can I get the previous version uploaded please?
Database stopped working
I had the app for two days and the database completely suddenly stopped working on Day 2, no food would come up not even the most basic ingredient. I re-installed the app but same problem. Can’t use this!!
So Close, but not yet ...
I thought I might have found the perfect nutrition app (at least for me), however it is missing a few features, it has some bugs, and there's no technical support or contact email for the app.
This app is a light, simple app with a core functionality of tracking macros, calories and the meals that go with them, and at its core this app great potential!
However, the food logI is extremely confusing to use. It seemed straightforward at first until you try to figure out the meal structures and how to save them, that's when the functionality disappears and the bugs emerge.
There doesn't seem to be a way to search and add foods to a "meal". You can search and add foods to your "day" only, not to an actual meal. I believe the functionality is there, but it's not working or the code needs updated. When I managed to bring up the correct menu the macros for all the foods and meals are empty, clearly there is some sort of bug here.
Also, A needed feature would be to share saved meals, that would help out couples who are trying to lose weight together keep from having to double entry everything. Another nice feature would be the ability to track fiber. For those following the keto diet and wishing to subtract for net carbs, this would be a nice add-on.
I tried to find a way of contacting the developer to inform him of the bugs in more detail, but there doesn't seem to be a way of doing that. I don't use social media accounts. A simple contact email or a form on the website would suffice.
All in all, as I mentioned, this app has great potential once these bugs and issues are fixed. The database seems very comprehensive, although a bar scanner would be great, but I'm happy with a search field.

Perfectly simple
I was looking for a macro tracking app without all the extra “stuff”. This is perfect- it will either calculate yours, or you can input your own. It’s simple and effective. Thank you for making this app!
It works! Great App
Yes nothing is perfect. Everyone wants all the bells and whistles but this app does what you need it too. I started at 330 lbs in 4 months using this app I’m now down to 267 lbs. It works. Just save your meals and follow it. Tried many others including paid ones. In my opinion it fits my needs and gave me the results I wanted. Pretty easy format. Just enter your goals. Plan your meals and follow it. Of course exercise along with a diet with speed things up. It’s a game changer!

Can’t create meals from database
This app is really beautiful. I’ve used it to successfully manage my weight for years. The database is nice and clean and the app is easy to use. I do wish you could build full meals using the database instead of having to type in macros. Seems like you can in Android maybe? Anyway, highly recommended.

Pleasantly surprised
My fitness pal wasn’t correctly tracking macros so I looked for something else. This app is a lot simpler than my fitness pal. It has been able to find all my foods to track macros and calories. And free so can’t complain.
Great app - needs some new features!
The macro setting portion is great and the rest/training day macros, “tap” to see your remaining macros, and the food data base is awesome.
I wish I could add foods from the database to specific meals. If you add a new meal you can’t add foods from the database to that meal, you have to do it manually.
Some added user-friendliness and this would be an amazing app!👍
