### 3/5 — Cant see history despite upgrade

*2026-02-09, version 2.2*

I love the simplicity of the app but I upgraded to be able to see my history and it still only shows the current day and continues to prompt me to upgrade. Since I need the history for my doctor I may have to change apps :(

### 2/5 — Frustrating

*2025-10-14, version 2.2*

First entry wont save.  If you try again it might.  Frustrating to write a thoughtful note with carb entry only to have the app refuse to save it, thereby forcing you to throw it out.  Was considering paying the small fee but the first entry save bug stopped me.

### 2/5 — Upgraded, but It is not showing any saved days

*2024-03-24, version 2.2*

I like the simplicity of this app.  It was exactly what I was looking for to keep track of my carbs.  I paid for the upgrade, but nothing happened. I still cannot see the following days’ “saved” carb counts.  Wondering if I was cheated.

### 2/5 — Cancel my app

*2023-11-05, version 2.2*

Don’t want it!

### 2/5 — Upgraded to save days. It saves days but can’t view them

*2023-10-19, version 2.2*

I like that this is simple. I don’t want a million functions, but I paid for the upgrade to save days and now it asks for more to view it. 
There’s no way to contact anyone. I agree with another reviewer…There should be some basic functions, like delete, if you make a mistake. 
For those reasons I would not recommend this.

### 2/5 — Update did not work

*2023-07-10, version 2.2*

I paid to update the app but got no update in return. Nothing changed in the app and I can’t see any past data.

No contact information in the app to let the developer know or to get my money back.

### 1/5 — The $.99 upgrade doesn’t work.

*2023-04-29, version 2.2*

I purchased the app over a week ago. It took four or five days for the $.99 charge to show up in my bank account so I thought OK by now it will finally work. But it does not! It keeps telling me that I can upgrade by paying $.99! This app does not work.
I’d like a refund please.

### 1/5 — Not worth your time

*2023-04-27, version 2.2*

I paid the $1 to get fully functional app and it never registered that I paid. You cannot delete and entry or correct it. Ridiculous!  Will be uninstalling. What a waste.

### 1/5 — Paid for upgrade never got

*2023-04-04, version 2.2*

I paid for the upgrade to receive my history. I never got the history. Instead it just tells me I paid for it and if I want to pay for it again.

### 1/5 — Where’s my upgrade?

*2023-03-26, version 2.2*

Still no upgrade after three days; refund my dollar or give an upgrade!

### 4/5 — Simple and easy

*2023-03-14, version 2.2*

Just what I wanted to keep up with carbs only.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2023-03-08, version 2.2*

I paid for the upgrade to track history and it is defective. Does not track. A waste of money. I deleted it after one day

### 1/5 — Took my money

*2023-02-03, version 2.2*

This app is terrible. I paid to upgrade to the full version so I could have my history saved, but it never updated or anything. It’s super glitchy and just overall bad.

### 1/5 — 👎🏼

*2023-01-28, version 2.2*

Paid the 99¢ to be able to review my history, didn’t work. Apple refunded.

### 1/5 — Do not buy

*2023-01-20, version 2.2*

Do not spend the $1 to upgrade. It doesn’t work. This is a terrible app

### 1/5 — Should have read reviews

*2023-01-19, version 2.2*

This app is exactly what I want/need except the review that mentioned this wasn’t a finished app was correct. I paid the $1 for the “plus” version and then it didn’t update or change anything. You can add stuff but can’t delete or edit. And you can’t view your “history” even if you pay for the plus. It’s only $1 but I want to try and get a refund at this point. It’s been 6 years since they updated anything so doubtful I’ll get a refund or a functioning app at this point.

### 1/5 — It’s basically a calculator with memory

*2022-12-21, version 2.2*

Just get a calculator

### 1/5 — Paid for nothing

*2022-11-04, version 2.2*

I paid for the upgrade but am still able to only open the free version. And I can’t post bc it’s a bad review

### 1/5 — What did I pay for?

*2022-09-04, version 2.2*

I paid for this but it’s nothing as far as I can tell. I add up my own understanding of the carbs I consumed?  Good old paper and pencil do that better than this. Feel ripped off.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Not what I thought it would be it doesn’t give you how many carbs are in food just a calculator

*2026-02-26, version 2.2*

Not what I expected it doesn’t give you how many carbs are in food it’s just a calculator

### 1/5 — Upgrade

*2026-02-10, version 2.2*

Do not purchase upgrade does not work! Looking for something that works!!!

### 1/5 — No!

*2023-11-03, version 2.2*

Just doesn’t work! Should have checked the reviews first. Shame on me! See? That’s what I get for trying to support my fellow human!

### 1/5 — Not helpful

*2023-10-12, version 2.2*

Don’t pay the .99 there is no way to delete errors and there is no helpful info on this app😡

### 1/5 — Worst app

*2023-09-30, version 2.2*

This is a simple calculator.  No support unable to use for looking up or editing input

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2023-09-14, version 2.2*

This is nothing more than an ordinary calculator.

### 1/5 — No Delete or edit option

*2023-09-07, version 2.2*

I like the simplicity of the app but there should be an edit or delete option. I paid extra for Carb Counter Plus but you do not deliver on the Plus. This needs to be fixed.

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2023-08-20, version 2.2*

Not worth the .99 cents!  Waste

### 1/5 — Upgrade

*2023-08-12, version 2.2*

Paid for upgrade , didn’t upgrade  ?

### 1/5 — Carb counter

*2023-05-21, version 2.2*

What did I pay .99 for? It says an upgrade, but nothing changed

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — App does what it says

*2026-06-07, version 3.2.0*

I asked Gemini for a bare bones carb counter and this is it. Enter the food, enter the number of carbs and you're done. Allows you to create "favorites" so if there's a food you eat everyday you don't have to keep entering it. Anyways it doesn't deserve the poor rating it has. 5/5

### 5/5 — Simple and perfect

*2018-11-26, version 2.2*

I love this app. I just wanted a simple way to track my carbs. This fits the bill perfectly.

### 5/5 — No Frills Love It!

*2015-04-01, version 1.4.2*

This app lets you add your carbs with one quick step, very simple does what it supposed to do. Don't have to list foods just tally's your carbs I love it!

### 5/5 — Simple and Perfect

*2014-06-29, version 1.4.2*

This is exactly what I was looking for. I don't need nutritional info or a huge database. I just want to enter a food and track my carbs. So far it's perfect!

### 5/5 — Best hands down!

*2013-08-24, version 1.4.2*

Other carb counters force you too search for food items and then select the best match which is really annoying when you're cooking your own meals. 

Simple is good in this case, I write whatever I want in the note box, or nothing at all, then I input the # of carbs and save the entry. The total is on the badge icon for the app. It's brilliant.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2013-07-11, version 1.4.2*

This is the perfect for those who want to record their carbs quickly. This is a no-frills app for people who don't need extensive options. Record your carbs. No more, no less. No complications. It's a great app.

### 5/5 — I love this app!

*2013-02-24, version 1.4.2*

I have been using it every day for about 6 months. It's a simple counter with a badge for your so-far daily total.  It's one of those simple, perfect, effective tools. I've recommended it to a couple of friends and they're fans, too.  You do have to use another resource to obtain the actual carb content # for food you don't already know, but this counter keeps you on track through the day.

### 5/5 — Simply excellent

*2012-10-08, version 1.4.1*

Exactly what I was looking for simple but effective just to track your total carb per day and more. I would like the same for protein tracking.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2012-09-29, version 1.4.1*

Works great for what I wanted, which was a simple way to keep track of my carb intake throughout the day. It's easy to punch in info quickly. It doesn't keep track of everything, which is what I wanted. Perfect for Atkins diet or any other carb conscious diet plan.

### 5/5 — Just what I was looking for!

*2012-06-29, version 1.3.0*

Amazing App if u were serious about a diet ud know how to rea the label on the back instead of looking through 1,000,000 foods
