The database of foods is what makes this very convenient. I've used this free ap on-and-off for years. And it works for me for weight loss. Not only does it build habits of conscious consumption, it provides a great record of meals that, when viewed over time, help me track what may have led to headaches and other reactions.

One of the easier to use calorie counting apps. I chose it over others because it's easy to enter foods, and they don't seem to have as much extra junk in the food searches. It would have been 5 stars except a few things: The app will prompt me to enter my weight for the day multiple times per day, and I wish the food entry was even more flexible when it comes to volume/weight. I don't want "roast chicken" to have multiple entries: one counting by weight and another by volume.

So far this has been the very best calorie tracking app I've tried. The search feature has found the exact items I was entering without having to wade through tons of inaccurate results, that in-itself sets this app WAY above the others! You have a lot of flexability on entering measurements and you can save meals. The only thing I don't like is that it's incorrect on setting your calorie limit for weight loss, you can however, manually change it so it didn't bother me too much.

In general this is a good calorie counting app with access to a lot of pre programed selections from different restaurants and store brand foods. I would love to see a "favorites" option for restaurants or brands to make selecting food easier, but in general this does what I need it to do, sometimes perfectly, other times with a little extra math on my part. Overall I'm happy with it and have continued to use it for some years now

I like that you can see your nutrition info, whereas you would have to pay for that in MyFitnessPal. The overall look is very nice and I like the graphs, but an actual dark mode would be great. My biggest problem is that I can't submit photos; there's a few items that I scanned the barcode of and they didn't appear in the app. I would try to submit a picture of the barcode and it would take me back to the search page as soon as I hit the check mark. Other information does save though.

I love this app. It's got a huge database of foods and also has the ability to adjust sizes (for example, instead of 1 serving, you can put .5 for half.) It's very easy to use and I love how it also tracks carbs, protein and fat for me. I need to get better at grams, tho. LOL. Oh, and I also like that you can save meals for easy adding to your diary. For instance, I typically have a bran muffin with either yogurt or a variety of fruits so I save each and can just click on one when I have it.

Not the best. Allows for scanning of barcodes, but because these listings are submitted by users, they are often incorrect. I used the app for about a day and found 3 incorrect items just in that short amount of time! Additionally, the nutrition information is a little sparse. I wanted a wider amount if information on nutrients, and only got basic info. Serving sizes are not easily split, and if there is a way to do so, its not easily found.

There's a weird glitch that duplicates items sometimes so I have to go back and delete items from the food log that appear twice. The picture feature didn't accurately capture items. For instance, I took a picture of 2 crackers and it suggested yogurt or sour cream. Don't like that the settings default to Monday as the beginning of the week and there doesn't seem to be a way to change the settings. It would also be nice to easily swipe to another day when logging items.

Great App with a few problems. When ever you switch to daily reports, it automatically sets it to week. You have to manually change it everytime and it is very annoying. If you want to look at a report from even 2 days ago, it wouldn't let you. Selection of foods is big, but I wasn't able to find some foods exactly. Notification to inform you how many calories you have left wasn't helpful and cluttered my notifications bar. I had to turn them off. Get applications for tracking Carb intake.

Pros: It lets me customize what nutrition info I care most and easily viewed at many levels. I like very much the recipe entry, as I almost eat exclusively home cooked food. And, there are quite a few customize food options. Cons: It syncs with fitbit, but doesn't go the full way. If I go bed at 10, I'd try my best to have forbit updated and open this app right before I go bed, as they suggested. But that's where it stops at the best. So it never captures a whole day.
