Ratings and reviews

Pros: No fluff, just a simple tracker for macros Cons: no alphabetizing your saved food, the search function for your custom (added) food doesn't work--these two things together mean you have to scroll through a huge list of food every time you want to find a certain food. Sometimes the app will mess up and think you're still on "Today" even though you're on the next day of your food tracking.

Using this app + w/Jen Widerstrom's carb cycling challenge & it's been key to keeping me on track. Database is pretty thorough & I like that there aren't user-added macros. Sometimes macros are off but can be manually adjusted. Here is my 1 complaint: sometimes when I add food to a meal, it shows up in another meal, even after multiple trys. This might not seem huge b/c it totals the same either way. However, if I had a really good/bad day & want to reflect, I need my foods in the correct place

For the theory behind it, this app gets 5 stars. Simple and straightforward. The execution gives alot to be desired and I really wish they'd fix the bugs. Can't save meals, so you have to input everything manually everytime. If you're trying to save one food in with a specific meal it'll switch which meal you're saving to. Really buggy which is a huge shame because it is the best. I guess that's not saying much for the others.
