User Reviews
Hands down the best tracking app I’ve used since Myfitness changed. Would recommend.
I have tried quite a few of the free options and this by far is the absolute best. The paywalls that I have hit are not necessary to me and honestly are just simple perks. The ads are not annoying and are very quick when they do show up. Also having the scan feature for free is a huge win please do not remove this.
Overall the interface is great and easy to navigate. I’m currently using the free version of this app and my frustration lies with the amount of ads that come up. Simply trying to add goods to the tracker and it’s an add between every food item sometimes. While o get the ads keep the base version free there should be some form of moderation. Truthfully after this month I’m switching back to the Lose It app.
I’ve been tracking my calories and carb intake for almost 2 weeks now and have lost 10 lbs. It’s a great app to have. I even scan stuff before I eat it and have gone ahead and passed on it
The app has not been tested properly by developers. When attempting to enter foods it doesn’t allow for custom settings, it says it does, but the actual UI sucks, it creates a ridiculous loop
I have lost 14 pounds so far bc I had no idea how much I was eating. So I’ve taught myself what to eat and what’s empty calories. Honestly I didn’t know even as a 33 year old educated person. This app is amazing.
This app beats every other free food tracker. The ads are minimal and the database is large. It tracks so many nutrients. It even shows what specifically you need as a woman. This app was recommended by my nutritionist as she uses it herself.
It’s probably the best food tracker out there, I heard it’s super accurate, very accurate and works well, not many ads, only problem is that paid version is expensive, but maybe worth it.
Great app! Specially calculating BMR and Net Carbs is an exceptional feature 😍 Just a little bug: a white screen shows regularly and disappears fast!
Chronometer is mostly good, though a recent update has triggered ads to populate on-screen as soon as you start typing into the food database search bar. So you can’t really get through a search query without an ad. I find this pretty predatory, and in a marketplace where there are dozens of calorie counting apps, I’ll opt for a different choice just out of principle.
