Atkins Carb Counter

After using 2 days, even free, this is not very functional. Edit: Upped by 2 stars since the interface seems to be better now. I'd now give it 5 stars if it wasn't soooo SLOW! Just opening the app it takes so long just to load, and entering anything is slow as well.

I love this app. But recently I haven't been able to use it because of network error. PLEASE FIX IT ATKINS! I love this app.

This app is better than any other app for tracking carbs, but that's pretty much it. It says you can sync devices, but my Fitbit doesn't sync even though it says it's connected. Overall the carb count is excellent, but I would like to see better Fitbit integration. Apparently they don't have any deal with Fitbit, because you can't see Atkins as a compatible app on the Fitbit list. Honestly out of all the diet apps, this one is definitely lacking the most, but if you are doing an Atkins style diet, this app is the best one to count your carbs. It feels to me like an older person made it for older people, as it definitely doesn't feel it was designs to be sleek and user friendly.

I wanted to track my carb intake and it does that. It could really stand a few updates though. If you have the capability to scan why not connect to a data base? Make it easier for the user. Also need to be able to add the stuff to my fav list so I don't have to dig for it. Recipes are limited. The list of acceptable foods doesn't expand. Not sure if it's a glitch or what. Would live to see these things improve.

A little buggy. When scanning a barcode there's no option to add to favorites. When quick adding a food, there's no option to add to favorites. My biggest issue is that after you add a good, you get a prompt to add another or be done. If you pick add another, it just goes right back to the food you just added, not the search screen. You have to pick done, then select the meal you want to add to again. The food database could be bigger too.overall, this app does what I want it to. Love the dashboard. I get excited when I see there are updates, thinking some of these issues I've had might be fixed but still waiting.

The database of foods for you to log is so limited you have to Google everything. It doesn't offer meal plan ideas, tips, helpful articles, or any support. Seriously considering trying another plan that can be more helpful and informative and interactive. I found myself going to the my fit was pal app or Google. This app does nothing.

This app needs huge improvements! It doesn't save anything you track. If you want to look at yesterday or the day before, it doesn't show that you tracked anything. It just deletes it. The scanner needs updating! It can't ever find what you scanned! It's super aggravating. I'd do better with a pencil and paper. Some packages say 3g of net carbs but when you scan it, it'll tell you 4g of net carbs. How confusing!

PIECE OF JUNK! Atkins plan worthless with this piece of junk app. I started Atkins specifically because I could use the app to make it easy. Network error...uninstall then install again...network error... uninstall, reinstall...over and over and over. I then tried to log in thru their mobile site... same issue... network error!! I'll try Jenny Craig or another plan. Goodbye Atkins.

This is a very useful app when doing the Atkins diet. It would be better if you were allowed to enter multiple items at once, add favorite meals, and most of all, if it didn't show that damned 'network error' message all the time. It can be difficult to enter food correctly if you can't enter your items as you eat them. Waiting for the error to pass, I often forget the particulars of what I had to eat.

I would love this IF IT WORKED!! It did for 1 day, and was slow and glitchy. Now it's day 2 and I can't any to load. It keeps saying "network error" and acts like it's loading. (I've restarted my phone, reset network settings, used wifi and data, waited long period, not to mention that NONE of my other apps are having this issue) I'm so disappointed

What a mess! Poorly designed, poorly programmed. Confusing and godawfully slow. A bruise on the Atkins brand. They should be the best, but this app isnt even a contender. Tracking anything is a pain, but mainly you get spinning arrows. Deleting.

Would have given it 5 stars up until today...network error is what I keep getting. Hope they fix it because this is frustrating as I was keeping track of everything on this and now its all messed up. I'll give it one more day for them to get it straightened out

This app is not smart like my fitness pal. When you scan a product it never recognizes the item, even if it's well know. It would be nice when you type it would remember what you typed before. To many extra steps to get to things. I love the carb aspect but that's about it. Bummer

I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. At 63 years old and 180 lbs didn't know if I would be able to stick to a diet. This diet is great. In 3 months I am down to 154 and haven't had one day of hunger. My sugar has been in the normal range for over a month without medication.

This app worked great...at first. Now all I get is a "network error" msg every time I open it. At first I thought it was my Wi-Fi, but it happens no matter what network I'm on. I've uninstalled & reinstalled it, but it still doesn't work.

I had this app a long time ago. Can't remember my user name or pw. It won't let me use my email address for log in. I can reset the pw but without a user name it won't do any good.

Too complicated. What you need is something that simply counts carbs in a meal plan you design. Then you can modify the meal to meet your carb target. This swapping screens back and forth is a pain in the ass.

I downloaded this a thinking I could get started on the diet. I clicked on the tab for "Atkins Program" and saw symbols for "acceptable" foods, but there is no list of acceptable foods anywhere to be found. I also thought there would be a list of meals that could be ordered from well known restaurants, but can't find anything on that either. There's no suggested meal plan either, and there's no indication as to how any of the needed information can be found. What good is it?

If you're like me, you will spend a day wrestling with the poor search function and inexcusably bad bar scanner, and then you will simply track your carbs with pen and paper. Add others have noted, the scan function doesn't recognize Atkins products, and the tracker doesn't let you see how many of your carbs came from foundation vegetables. If you must use an app to track your meals, just use MyFitnessPal and save yourself some headaches.

Can't even sign up..says user already exists. Funny, i made a new profile specifically for this so its impossible. Don't waste your time

I've loved this app til a few days ago when it completely changed the net carb amount on the Atkins meal bars!! The box shows they only have 2-3 net carbs but now the carb counter shows 14-16 net carbs per bar. Either I was mislead in the beginning when I purchased the Atkins bars or the app is not working right. Needs to be updated fast since it is now unreliable in tracking my carbs daily.

Every time I get this app back I love it. However, I eventually always start getting the network error and have to stop using it again. Please fix. This app helps so much I don't want to give up on it again.

The network errors are annoying. Plus, the net carbs for Atkins products are much higher on the app than they are on paper and on the package. Quite annoying. Please be consistent.

It says it will sync with your Fitbit but it doesn't. When scanning it comes up with food that isn't correct. The search feature doesn't find the correct food. I've emailed you with no response. Currently looking for a better app.

It will get the job done. But there are more robust trackers out there. It does not allow to create a group of often eaten foods and turn them into a favorite meal. So you must reenter them every single time. It does not allow you to import or even setup your own recipes. There are no widgets to help you see where you are easily throughout the day, and it gives no nutritional breakdown other than fat, carbs, and protein. The weight tracker doesn't always work and gives no trend graphs or anything. It does sync with many fitness devices to count steps and I've had no problems with that feature. The search feature needs a major overhaul as does the quick add. I find they only work about half the time. Overall, if you want a very simplistic interface with no interest in trends or micronutrients this app will get the job done. However, once your focus shifts from merely losing weight to attaining health through nutrition, you'll probably outgrow this app.

Has not worked for 2 days. Network error is all i get. Not very helpful for carb tracking when the app wont work! ****** 1/20 update!!!!! Now the app is back up but they have changed the net carbs on some of their atkins bars to be 3xs what they actually are. WTF????

Requires a long to track you. I do not want to be tracked. App says you can see menus but won't allow it. Worthless app. Don't download

It is so confusing to me. What info that I could pull from the app looked good but it took me 3 hours. I'm frustrated. I really was excited but not anymore.

I had a hard time getting the Add New Food function to work. Also, once a food is added you should be able to add to favorites and/ or search for it which I could not do.

It keeps telling me network error and now I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and after reinstalling tried to login and its saying trouble connecting to server. Irritating when I'm trying to add my meals and can't because I can't even access the app. Really like it otherwise but will change to 1 star if the problem is not resolved.

App is slow, several days app locked me out. Today it showed network error and lost all my previous entered info.....it's got good features but needs work on function

It worked perfectly for two weeks, now, as EVERYONE says, I'm receiving a network error message. Just when I began to depend upon it. Obviously customer service isn't a concern since this has been an issue for months. Will be going back to the app I was using. It's dependable and their creators care about customer complaints.

Haven't used this app in two years, decided to try it again. I try to track my food and apparently there are "server issues" today... Nice to see nothing has changed.

Doesn't work. Won't save info I log. Network error. Not a great interface. Hoped for better! If it worked I would do the Atkins Diet but I'll find a diet with an app that works.

First couple days it worked great. Now i constantly get network error. I had to uninstall and reinstall and that didn't work. Not happy with it. Most products are east coast and you need to add west coast brands.

Used for one week. Terrible app. Doesn't seem to have any local data storage. Connection to their cloud storage is iffy at best. So history and favorites data is extremely intermittent..very frustrating Diet works.

I used the app a year ago, it was perfect. I lost 35lbs. I try to use it again and now it's to slow and today only said "network error". I hope it will be fix soon. I need it!!!

It worked good for 4 days but now it keeps saying network error. I uninstalled the app and reinstalled it but it keeps doing the same thing. Please fix this or I will find another app that works.

Keep getting "Network Error". I tried on and off of WiFi and still get that error message. And when searching for an item, it will freeze. I used the app a lot last year and started the diet again. It's not what it used to be.

Would have given higher rating if the recipe search worked. Have tried multiple times and it keeps saying there's nothing when I try to search by phase :/ otherwise great app...Love how I can keep track of my weight
