Cals & Macros FREE for Android
Started a keto diet for the first time and needed to find an app that would help me monitor my food intake. I have only set things up but the app seems to be great for what I need. I didn't know how to use it but it is user friendly and I caught on quickly. The only thing I didn't see was monitoring water intake.
The database is so limited when it comes to scanning products! When trying to create my own recipes, bc I can't find the product, I can't even find the generic stuff ... I also don't like that you can't customize the sizes/servings to ounces. I like that it shows what you've consumed and what you still need for the day.
I just downloaded it the other day and it is pretty good. Not a lot of food options but it is easy to navigate through and helps me meet my daily fiber needs. Thanks for helping me poop ♡♡♡♡
Seems promising but it continues to crash. Additionally, a simple search for "eggs" does not return eggs. I was given fish eggs as a recommended result. That and every fast food variety of eggs.
Crashed quite a bit but I don't lose anything I just put in when it does crash. A bit annoying.
Every time I try to scan a barcode, the app opens up the "Michael's" craft store app on my phone. A little confused by this and can't use the function as intended.
Finally found an app that allows me to scan products, set custom macros, and see my individual food macros with one swipe! BUT, the app won't stay open long enough to track.
Hasn't been updated since 2015? How did I miss that? Anyway, can't create an account so can't use.
Food look up and food diaries are graet. Customized goal setting is a nice touch. Hoping the database for upc info loading will expand.
Love the widget but the food search needs a lot of work. I can never find anything I've eaten.
Works awesome for flexible dieting where I need to count my macros protein carbs and fat and fiber
Best macro tracker. Hands down. One suggestion to developer - show percentage numbers on pie charts.
Okay so I love everything about this app, it's user-friendly, very simple, gives you lots of nutritional values that I like to see, but when I try creating a profile to add in foods I can't find, it gives me an error message every time so that I can't make a profile. it's extremely frustrating, ive tried everything and would love to see this fixed or get some help with it.
I've been using my fitness pal and wanted a different food tracker that took the emphasis off calories. This app looks like it has a lot of potential but it doesn't have very many foods in the database yet. Too much extra work to input it all.
As other people have said, the UI took some getting use to, but completely worth it: it's very fast and easy once you have it down; important given how often you'll be entering data. It has made tracking my macro tractable. Data is very forefront in this app, and it's designed to make it really easy to break down the data in the ways I want to see. For instance, being able to get pie charts of each meals has made it very easy to visually debug which meal threw me off for the day. A few nits: I'm currently trying to loose weight, but every day it jumps back to "general maintenance" and I have to toggle it back to "general weight loss". It would be nice if it had built-in conversion from ounces to grams as some foods in the database only have grams and my scale only has ounces, so I end up leaving the app to calculate the conversion.
PRO: Can develop custom foods list to summarize daily nutritional values consumed. CON: (1) Graphs' text are illegible. (2) No graphing to track nutrient values.
Like that i can do macs by grams. It didnt get 5 stars because the database (even on line) is ridiculously limited and I cannot create an account without an error message poppin up.
So far the app is pretty good abit of a learning curve to go from my fitness pal to this but well worth it. The food data base is small but very easy to add your own off of the labels, an once this app reaches more people the data base will expand rapidly. If they added exercise and linked to other apps like rutastic or your fit bit i would give it 5 stars. Also fix the error message to explain that you cannot have a space in username on account setup.
I can see it growing into one of the best nutrition tracking apps out there. Only thing is it crashes ALOT. Seems to have stop being updated.
I'm on a specific diet and your calorie guess isn't good enough. I need to put in my own goal for calories. Sorry but I'm uninstalling
Works well. My only complaint is the list of foods you can search to add is kind of short and doesn't include many every day foods.
A great food logging app. I love having macronutrient targets as well as calories. It's been keeping me on track. Very simple to use, you just have to take a moment to actually use it.I hope the database grows in the future, but its still pretty awesome.
This is a good my fitness pal alternative for macro counter however there are still some functions missing mostly regarding the easy use of creating.. editing...sharing food recipes. The ui is not built to tablet as there is no landscape mode
But can you add auto rotate? I forced the orientation to landscape for my tablet and have had no issues with display or use. But it would be nice for other tablet users who don't have ROOT to force orientation. Otherwise brilliant.
I installed this, then tried to scan 5 or 6 common foods (Rice Krispies cereal for example), and this apps database had NONE of them. There are much better nutrition counters available.
Love this app for tracking macros. Only problem is that I can't upload photos to monitor progress with pics, other than that it's a great app.
For this being a free version you're still allowed to enter your own macro goals this is amazing did other ones try to charge you $5 flat or $50 for a year
The app idea is really good, but after I saved my goals the app crashed and don't open anymore.
Works well for what I need but the carb percentages for some of the preset goals seem high. I wish the macros could be more customized.
It couldnt find any of the barcodes i scanned and crashes alot. But it works enough.
It could use a little more polish to make it more intuitive, but in general this is an excellent app.
Love it! However, I would rate this 5 stars if there were more vitamins and minerals supported
It would be a great app for tracking what you eat. But I can't find the foods on here.
Used many many different food tracking apps this one is the best by far!! Download now!
...but food data base is limited and the barcode scanner rarely works.
I removed some types of days and I couldnt reopen de app :(
Cant make an account keep getting errors
Works very well.
Keeps crashing

Been using this app for a while. Just managed to update it and at first I didn't like it because you'd changed the layout and everything but I'm starting to get used to it. Definitely seems like you took into consideration all the feedback you've been receiving. Some small annoyances I had in the past have been removed and it looks easier to use. Really happy guys. Thanks :) ps. Only complaint I have atm is the widget doesn't seem to be updating correctly after I input macros.
