I have to back out and try again a few times before it will log. ### 4/5 — See i far so good *2024-06-30* I downloaded about six protein trackers and tested them out for ease of use, value for money, and whether i could use it to work towards my goals. I deleted all the others exceot this one. It works for me, with ease. I don’t have to calculate how much orotein is in what I eat, it does. ### 3/5 — Not quite accurate… *2024-01-20* First off, the app is easy to use: it records not only your protein intake by grams but your other macros as well, all I have to do is scan the barcode or type it in. And I do like that you get to try it for a week free of charge. But if the item isn’t in their database you have to create said item or find another item in their menu that’s similar, so the measurements per gram are not entirely accurate. And the quantity per item is pre-determined, so you can’t accurately measure exactly how many grams you’ve consumed. ### 3/5 — Not quite accurate… *2024-01-15* First off, the app is easy to use: it records not only your protein intake by grams but your other macros as well, all I have to do is scan the barcode or type it in.

I find some of the other trackers, like MFP, almost more stressful to use. Post menopause I just want to dial in my protein intake and not stress about everything else. Very easy to use ### 5/5 — Wow *2023-08-23* They’re great!! 🥣🐯 ### 5/5 — Easy To Use! *2023-08-18* This is app is very simple and easy to use. I love the fact that I get reminders on when to eat again so that way I don’t miss out on logging my protein intake. ### 4/5 — Helpful tool *2023-07-29* This is exactly what I was looking for to track daily protein, without focusing on calories. The scan function for finding foods hasn’t worked well for me, but it’s simple to add favorites w protein counts ### 5/5 — It does what it says it will *2023-07-27* It’s easy to track protein and look up foods. Recommend app. ### 4/5 — So far so good! *2023-07-26* It’s my first day using it. It’s pretty simple and user friendly. I like that I can put my goal without having anything to do with weight loss or gain. I’m pregnant so I’m using it to make sure I’m getting enough protein during the day to grow my child. So far I’m happy with it! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work reliably *2025-11-16* Warning: I wish I could get my money back. Clunky, iffy, protein data sometimes doesnt work. I have up to date iphone os. ### 1/5 — Too difficult to use *2024-09-10* This app is too difficult to use and too confusing regarding adding values to each category. This is confusing to the point of wanting to find a different app. ### 1/5 — not easy *2024-09-03, version 1.0.37* hope there are updates .. too hard to sort ### 1/5 — barley any options *2024-05-28, version 1.0.36* barely any food on the app, laggy, and the app icons a little ugly ### 1/5 — Money grabber *2024-05-07, version 1.0.36* Just wants your money ### 1/5 — Trying to get in contact with the developer *2024-01-30, version 1.0.32* Hi, I’ve purchased this app and would like some help setting my own recipes, I’ve tried every way to find how to contact the developer. Still can’t find a contact email. If some can help me set this up I’d be happy ### 1/5 — Bad *2023-12-21, version 1.0.30* Scanner doesn’t work and there is zero database to search. Won’t last a week. ### 1/5 — Another Greedy Subscription App *2023-12-03* This should be a one time purchase, not a subscription model. 👎👎👎 You won’t be able to try the app without consenting to their Free Trial so don’t bother unless you’re willing to pay down the line. ### 2/5 — Ads *2024-11-06* Super annoying pop-up ad for the premium plan assaults you- can’t even enter one meal without having to deal with 10 pop-ups. Also the app often freezes. ### 3/5 — Freeze *2026-01-01* Sometimes the app freezes. Could be because I use the free version. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best Counter *2026-05-26, version 1.1.44* Love It ### 5/5 — Great Protein Tracker *2026-05-16* Super easy to track my daily protein intake.
