### 4/5 — Язык

*2021-08-06*

Добавьте русский язык 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

### 3/5 — Good functionality but crashes out occasionally

*2020-08-23, version 4.0*

App closes on its own when I’m use.  However, it has good functionality and logical use.

### 3/5 — Nice app BUT

*2020-04-08, version 4.0*

This is a nice app, but does not have a large library of routine foods that are used by everyone. Like can of tomatoes, etc.

### 2/5 — En francais svp

*2019-04-28*

Désolé une apps de la sorte doit obligatoirement avoir son mode en version francaise avant d’etre presentée sur le store Fr 🤔😶😬. Je suis suis a little bit fluent in english mais de la a connaitre l’ensemble de la nourriture dans la langue de shakespeare est une autre chose !

### 5/5 — Logs food at exact time. User creates food database

*2018-12-09, version 2.1*

App has a small built in database but this app helps the user to add food to the personal data base the first time that food is eaten. That is a good thing. MFP has an inaccurate database.

### 4/5 — I am surprised this app isn’t mentioned more

*2018-11-27, version 2.1*

I struggle with my weight and have tried many different apps for logging food.
This app is beautiful! It looks really good. It isn’t cluttered like so many other apps out there. 
It isn’t based on a subscription model which I hate. 
There are many Macro calculating apps out there but this one is seriously worth trying.
One caveat: be prepared for a limited database of foods.

### 5/5 — I love Curlybrace apps.

*2018-11-13, version 2.1*

Curlybrace make 3 apps.  I first learned about them after a long search for an iOS Inventory App.  Home Contents fit the bill, far exceeding my expectations.

I saw that they also had a weight tracking app called Weight Diary, so I thought I'd give a try and now use it every day. Another quality app.

I'm glad that they only have 3 apps (😉).  When I saw that they also had a nutrition tracking app I just had to purchase it to go along with my weight reduction plan.

The app is not as easy to use as MyFitnessPal but once you work through that, it's very nice.  It's especially helpful keeping track of your intake based on the diet type you are on: Paleo, Mediterranean, Zone, South Beach etc. 

The main screen shows exactly where you stand on your daily quest.

The  database of food items pales in comparison to MyFitnessPal but when entering items that aren't in this database, I search MYFP.  The important thing is that the app keeps a recent list of what you’ve entered for easy entry next time. If you're like me, I don't need a massive database. 

After paying for their apps, there are no subscriptions; a huge benefit. 

I highly recommend this and all Curlybrace apps.  You won't be disappointed.

### 5/5 — The best

*2018-11-05, version 2.1*

Really love the app, by far the best I have found.
Did take a little while to get used to, but after that it has proved very useful, simple and effective.  Very easy to look back at past days to see how the diet has been going and make sure that it’s on track.
I love the way the app separates meals automatically, no need to put under headings of breakfast, lunch etc.
If a food item doesn’t appear in the search function or by using the scan function adding new foods is quick and easy. 
Great to use in combination with the related weight diary app from curlybrace.

### 3/5 — Begin you to turn off reverse numbers

*2018-03-10*

I want see how much carbs , prots,  and fats  I have ate ! Not how much left - why should I do maths every time ???

And where’s custom food column ?? Why I need to create it every time if the food from the day before ?! Why why why !! 
I could be cute addition to Apple’s Circles with black theme and features I’ve mentioned .
Thank you !

### 3/5 — Great potential

*2017-09-14, version 1.6*

Very attractive UI but the food database is pretty empty, can't find any food.  Also, it would be nice to be able to add Breakfast, Lunch, etc, rather than Meal 1, Meal2.

Very pretty, great potential but not quite there yet.

### 4/5 — Monthly chart

*2017-03-24, version 1.6*

Great app, easy to use and nice interface, in my opinion misses a weekly or monthly chart to compare caloric and macronutrients intake between days. Otherwise an awesome app 👌🏼👌🏼

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Food database rubbish

*2020-01-28, version 4.0*

Tried to scan a weeks worth of food and almost nothing is recognised. Such a pity because the weight tracker is excellent.

### 1/5 — Needs so much work to be useable

*2019-10-02, version 3.0*

Clunky and non intuitive GUI makes this a very difficult so to use. 
It’s completely USA centric but doesn’t say that in the description. If you live anywhere else in the world you just can’t use it in a meaningful way. 
Wasted 1.99

### 1/5 — Pourquoi pas de version LITE ?!

*2019-08-26*

Il est inadmissible de ne pas pouvoir essayer cette application et devoir immédiatement passer à la caisse avant de savoir si elle nous convient! 
Nous devons faire toute la procédure de demande de remboursement si elle ne nous convient pas. 1 étoile en moins pour ça. 

C’est dommage car elle est prometteuse surtout en ce qui concerne le choix du régime suivie avec les macros automatiquement mis en place selon le régime choisi, et la c’est assez riche, on pourra choisir le régime Keto, low carb, Atkins, méditerranéen, paleo, etc, et bien sûr avec nos propres données. 

Notre ratio est calculé en fonction de notre âge, taille, poids, activité. 

Il s’ajuste en fonction de la coupure calorique que l’on veut par jour : par ex ton ratio est de 2400 kcal/ jours, tu fais une réduction/coupure de 500kcal/jours le calcul des  ratios se fera donc sur les 1900kcal restant. 
Les macro se calculeront en fonction du régime choisi. Ou des choix individuels par ex : 72% de lipides, 20% de protéines, 8%de glucides. Donc proche du Régime ketogene. 

J’aurais aimé pouvoir : 
- avoir l’appli sur androïde !!! 
- avoir l’appli sans la payer en version essai. 
- avoir un mode sombre/dark 

- un calcul d’objectifs automatique et variable en fonction du nombre de kg a perdre, de la date d’objectif, du nombre de coupure kcal/jour, etc... comme cela se fait dans votre appli « journal de poid ». 

(!!!!) -Bade de données trop Incomplètes pour la France, et erronée (!!!) même en scanant mon pain Harry’s complet je tombe sur n’importe quoi comme résultat. 
Si c’est fastidieux je ne vais pas tenir longtemps mon journal! 

(!!!!) - tout est en anglais, bien que je comprennes le 3/4, pour régler les paramètres c’est encore parfois compliqué de comprendre.

Bref! 2 étoiles pour tout ça je reste optimiste pour les points à améliorer. 

Mais encore 1 étoile pour l’avoir payé d’avance !!!!! Et devoir faire la procédure de demande de remboursement.

### 1/5 — Fee

*2019-07-15, version 3.0*

I never saw that this costs $3! Unexpected surprise - not impressed.

### 1/5 — Food database non existent

*2019-01-22, version 2.1*

Downloaded to try and keep track of calorie intake. Every barcode i scanned brought up no results, and even simple searches like chopped tomatoes didn’t bring up any results. Unable to track my calories on just the first day, would be easier for me to use a pen and paper.

### 1/5 — Applis complètement inutile en France étant donné qu’elle est uniquement en anglais.

*2018-12-17*

Je ne comprends strictement rien. Aucune explication ! Je regrette mon achat je voudrais le remboursement !

### 1/5 — Don’t

*2018-08-24, version 2.1*

Difficult to use

### 1/5 — Bottom Level

*2017-07-28, version 1.6*

This app is a light weight when it comes to rating with the others. Searchable food base is limited. The barcode is someines idea of a do-it-yourself joke. I am the fool who was tricked into paying $2.99 for the app. You have been warned. Dont be a fool. Many apps better.

### 1/5 — No content to scan

*2017-04-01, version 1.6*

Seriously... Do you pretend users to buy it and then do the work for you?

I love the interface but that is not enough to buy it.

### 1/5 — Just Crashes

*2016-10-13, version 1.4*

On initial launch crashes after a minute or two of syncing with Apple Health. From then on crashes immediately on launch.

### 5/5 — Dave

*2026-05-18, version 8.0*

Great app to keep you on track without to much fuss and messing around.👍

### 5/5 — Breath of Fresh Air

*2026-04-13, version 8.0*

Finally an app that isn’t subscription based, this might be the last of its kind. And 5 years since the last review? People are sleeping on this app. I find the simplicity to be a feature rather than a drawback, less is more when it comes to building new habits. 

I appreciate the publisher for having even updated this 3 months ago, I hope you keep it up! With the right attention, this app could sell a lot

### 5/5 — Clever Logging App

*2026-04-12, version 8.0*

This app allows you to log your foods and drinks throughout a day. Individual food items can be combined into a meal that can be quickly recalled on future days. That gives it a slow feeling start, but after a while logging is quick and easy. 

Its use of custom keypads is smart, as it makes logging meal times and weights a breeze.

All round a well written app, with low memory usage too.

### 5/5 — Excellent User Interface

*2020-12-28, version 4.0*

Very easy data entry and intuitive to use. Simple and aesthetically pleasing.

### 5/5 — So easy to use!

*2020-10-31, version 4.0*

Absolutely love how simple this is for everyday use!

### 5/5 — Perfect, easy, essential

*2020-08-02, version 4.0*

Easiest to use little calorie tracker I’ve ever used.  When you can track calories so easily, it does inspire sticking to the diet much more successfully.   Love it, thank you developers.

### 5/5 — Simple and great! Exactly what I needed!

*2019-12-12, version 3.0*

I was looking for a simple app for macro tracking and this is it. It has what I need and no other crap. The UI could get a bit more refined, but I am perfectly happy to pay less than a cup of coffee for an app with no ads, no selling my data, no bloatware, and no premium monthly subscription pricing.

### 5/5 — Great weight loss tool

*2019-08-04, version 3.0*

Have been really happy with both Nutrients and Weight Diary app. Have lost 30 kgs and have been able to maintain that loss for about 18 months. Recently broke my toe and was unable to exercise for 3 months. Put on 2 kgs and was able to get back into gear with the help of both apps. Couldn’t be without them.

### 5/5 — Добавьте языки!

*2019-05-18*

Искал такую программу без конкретных продуктов! Потому что весам на кухне все равно что взвешивать -они показывают кбжу!

### 5/5 — 3.0 update with dynamic macros!

*2019-01-28, version 3.0*

Woohoo! Thanks so much for latest 3.0 update with dynamic macros!! Now I can better zero in on good/bad macro meal planning.
