This is the official Racing Weight Diet Quality Score App, now with the ability to save your DQS data for as long as you want and view graphs of your progress over time! This app allows you to calculate your daily Diet Quality Score (DQS) as described in Matt Fitzgerald's book, Racing Weight. The Diet Quality Score is a simple instrument that allows athletes to measure the overall quality of their diet. The DQS Mobile app was designed to make it as easy as possible to calculate a Diet Quality Score each day. As you eat throughout the day, enter the servings of each category of food that you consume. Tap a box to consume one serving of that category, tap it again and it will become a half serving, and one more tap will set it back to zero for that box. You can tap the category name to view an explanation of what foods fall under that category. Your total DQS score for the day is shown in the upper right corner of the page. DQS data is saved for each day you track it. You can also log your weight and body fat % on the bottom of the Tracking page. We recommend you log your weight no more than once per week. The Graphs page lets you see how you are doing with your Diet Quality Score over time. You can view your data over the last week, month or year. When viewing yearly data, it is displayed as 52 week-long averages. You can view graphs showing your total DQS, your weight, or your DQS score by specific category. You can set a target weight, body fat % and a target DQS score on the Profile page.

Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: PRTracker at freemium against DQS Mobile's subscription. PRTracker also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). DQS Mobile's advantage is ratings volume (167 vs 14) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.6). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. DQS Mobile sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and PRTracker sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
PRTracker holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DQS Mobile has 167 ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 79% of DQS Mobile's written reviews are positive against 100% of PRTracker's.
DQS Mobile ships an update every 2 months, PRTracker every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on June 11, 2026 and August 9, 2026 respectively.
