Response from developer
Merci beaucoup ! Nous apprécierions vraiment une note de 5 étoiles et espérons que vous apprécierez l’application
Lots of promise
This app is well made and useful. The one thing holding it back is the inability to save foods and meals that I eat regularly. Having to add the ingredients every time is cumbersome.
Like it
Trying out the app, so far the “add food” using AI option works very well, I’m impressed. A suggestion of a cool feature would be displaying the nutrients of a food we added, and having a list of how much we consumed of vitamin D, A etc through our diet.
Buggy
Very disappointed. Had a hard time to do anything.
Has potential!
I love this app! I just wish it showed fiber the same way it shows the other macronutrients. I want it to give just as much prominence to fiber as it does the others. Instead, I have to drill down to each item to find the fiber. I want to easily see my fiber intake for the day and for each meal at a glance, please! Also, no apple health integration. Once these are both added, I will give 5 stars! The app is great, otherwise!

Food scan works well
Thanks! The photo integration seems really clever. You should add alcoholic drinks in to the "unhealthy eating habits" part.
Response from developer
Thanks for you feedback. Noted on alcoholic drinks!
Super helpful
I’ve been using this app daily and I’ve grown to love it. One recommendation I would love to see in the future is being able to see the calories of each item along with the amount.
SLick UI
Love how simple it is easy to navigate. Thank you

Thanks your kind words!
People are sleeping on this gem of an app!
I’ve tried many different tracking apps: MacroFactor, MyFitnessPal, Carb Manager, Calorie Counter, Lifesum, Lose It!, Cronometer, Calory AI, Carbon, MyNetDiary and Built With Science+ — after a week, this is HANDS DOWN my favorite app. Hopefully the developers keep up the great work!
What is working well:
+ I love the simple layout of the app. It is visually uncluttered and easy to navigate.
+ I love the “nutri-score” feature where it provides a grade for the foods you consume.
+ I love how the Sugar Impact is displayed. As someone that’s actively trying to do a better job of managing their blood sugar, this was a pleasant surprise!
+ I love how right next to Sugar Impact is Fiber, because those who are trying to monitor their blood sugar know, the way you prevent or minimize blood sugar spikes is thru Fiber.
+ It’s great to be able to go in and get feedback about how what you’re eating is helping/hurting your weight loss (or gain) goals. Likewise, it provides suggestions (e.g. add a lean meat to a meal or eat more veggies later) while giving you that positive reinforcement when you make wise food selection choices. I love how this app does these in the moment PER tracked item, versus a lot of apps make you do weekly check-ins and really minimize a lot of the good that you did throughout the week, which is discouraging.
+ The explanations throughout are thorough and easy to follow/understand.
+ The text AI is solid once you get a system down. I’ve found it’s most accurate when I type what I’m eating and copy and paste the nutritional facts in along with my serving or portion size.
What could be improved:
- I wish the daily macro goals were ranges instead of just hard targets. One food app I used was ranges and I found it easier to stay within a range when you know you have that flexibility to play with. Additionally, going over in protein may not be as bad as say going over in fat - depending on your goals.
- I wish there were an option to select foods that you’ve entered and group them into meals. I’ve found that the itemized item inputs are not always accurate but if I put in the item and copy and paste the corresponding nutritional facts in with it, it’s spot on. Because of this, I don’t feel comfortable putting everything in as meals because you wouldn’t be able to catch when things are not going in accurately (well not without having all the labels and doing a lot of math).
- I wish there was a memory or history for previously tracked items and items that you try to type in with AI that it previously got wrong, it provides the same wrong values again.
- I wish there was a Meals/Snack Suggestion area. Yes, it does kind of give you little suggestions here and there in the what you’re doing well/what you could be doing better sections - but it feels like there should be a button for ideas based on what macros you have left.
- For the previously-mentioned feature and the meal planning - it just randomly generates ideas seemingly out of thin air. It doesn’t appear there’s a way to input a “pantry” or “fridge/freezer” list of what you already have on hand to inform the meal planning.
- Photo AI scanning is hot and go in regards to accuracy. It correctly identified milk and protein powder when shot separately. Both required tweaks to the actual nutritional values because the values provided were not correct. When I combined these into a protein shake and tried to take a picture, it was interpreted as a smoothie with wildly inaccurate nutritional facts.
Other future ideas:
- Dedicated water tracking.

Looking good
I’m planning to replace CalAI

Great
Highly recommended
Great app
Very handy, showed me how it calculated everything, camera detection works well, meal planning is a great feature
Response from developer
Thank you for your kind feedback!
Disappointed
I was hoping that this app would allow me to customize my meal plan. I’d like to adjust my carb, protein and fat intake to mirror the Keto diet. It won’t let me. It will only allow me to adjust my calorie intake. It won’t even let me enter a goal weight. It won’t accurately recognize the foods that I enter (brands differ in macros) and taking a picture of my meals is a bit of a joke, as it can’t recognize foods that look similar (cows milk or almond milk?). This app has a lot of improvements to make. I’ll hang on to it and check back periodically, but for now it’s kind of useless to me.

Can you add a few more tweaks?
Everything is great with the app, however can you add the option to edit the protein, carbs and fat allowance? I feel like for my goal, the set carbs are a little too high.
Response from developer
Thanks for your kind feedback. And the request is added to the backlog
Easy to use
simple design and easy logging features. It would be nice to have more customization for reminders, but overall it’s a useful tool for staying on track with my health
Good app
Intuitive and I like nutrition tips, that really helps
Helped me to lose 10lbs
