So close to 5 stars!
I really want to give this app five stars and if all you care about are calories and a couple of very basic macros like protein then it’s a five star app. For me, and for a ton of people, what would elevate this, and quite easily, would be to allow us to track sodium on this app. It’s so close to perfect, but this obvious and persistent flaw remains over years of requests to the developer.

In app purchases not working
Purchased yearly subscription. It is not working. Apple won’t refund my purchase.
Please remove podcast autoplay
The podcast autoplay stops my music whenever I go to log my food. Very annoying but otherwise a great app
Quantity button does not work
Great app except all of a sudden the quantity button doesn’t work properly for days now and I can’t find where to contact support to address the issue. It’s driving me nuts now and I’m ready to quit. This is after I’ve recommended the app and my family is also on it. Please help me fix this and add a customer support email to your settings.

Crippled by the UI
UPDATE: Developer restored mY account to previous UI. The app once again has all the expected features of a tracking app plus the parrot AI.
I loved this up until the latest changed to the UI. It no longer shows how many grams of food are logged; it only shows the macros. It removed my saved recipes and meals. I also can’t copy a previous entry to today. I did use the AI logging but I also relied on having access to verified information. Disappointed after 2 years of use.

Response from developer
Hi Please email me so I can sort this for you - scott@parrotpal.com
Not working right anymore
It was working fine until the new update. Now everytime I try putting in a food, it gives me an error message!
Lose weight
Be good to see change
New Layout
The new update is awful, took away lots of good features and being able to copy foods. Will not be renewing because of this!
K
Such a waste of time, stop making very app paid .
Beware Free Trial
Seems to try the app you're forced to sign up to a free trial. I tried several times to bypass it and eventually had to commit to the trial. If you don't cancel immediately you're charged £40 after 7 days. Very poor!

Was great
Loved it at first, but 6 months in and it seems to be losing its ability to read nutritional labels and barley scans anything. I have done an app update today and it’s wiped all my data, but not my information or targets.
Doesn’t work
The app fails with a lost network connection message and doesn’t log anything.
Lacklustre UI, inaccurate by nature, unresponsive support
Great concept for app but falls short on a number of fronts. Unintuitive UI. No dark mode (hello 2015). Unresponsive support. Better options out there, notably MacroFactor and LoseIt
Jesus Christ, half an hour of questioning to then be told it’s £40 quid a year
No thank, how about not wasting peoples time, I am not paying 40 quid a year to track calories, and no body should, just go back to my fitness pal and educate your self on food, track for free, these people trying to fleece people is ridiculous, £40 lol
Nice tracker
I’ve enjoyed this app for months and it already helped me to lose 6kg in very gentle and thoughtful way. But recently something went wrong and now 2/3 of the food I log is logged with 0 calories and I have to retry several times.
Weight lose
Hoping to get to my goal and stop Manjaro
Review
I’ve used parrot pal in the past and am looking forward to using it again
DO NOT GET
Honestly please save your money, although this app puts your calories higher than MyFitness Pal the app it’s self isn’t there. It really struggles to find items. Even when you use the AI function it’s wrong most of the time
What happened?
I had to reload my app, lost all data (14 months), every food I log in shows less protein, cals etc than it actually has (?) I used to edit values before - now not possible (?). Only quantity remains editable. Then I used to saved those in “saved food” - not see it any more (?) Am missing something or things changed for worse.
Totally unusable now…

Brilliant app
I’ve used a few different calorie apps and this is by far the best one I’ve used. The interface is easy to navigate but there are how to videos if help is needed. Being able to type, talk or snap a photo to log meals is amazing and a great feature. It takes so much stress out of food logging. And seeing all the macros and steps in an easy place, also great. Add that with the exercise parts, the podcasts and the community groups, all the support you need is there in one place. It offers so much more than other apps and the price after the trial is a fraction of what others cost.
