GOOD LUCK

The app has since been downloaded more than 2.5 million times and has many enthusiastic users, such as Elly: “It provided insight. With some things I thought: gee, so many calories, or so much sugar or fat. You know it, but you are still shocked when you see those numbers.”

Ratings and reviews

Great app. No ads, no nonsense. Makes tracking calories really easy. I have an issue with some nutrition advise that it gives, and I mostly ignore it, apart from macros breakdown. Additionally, some products portions or weights seem way off, you have to be careful with what it considers a serving. It will warn you though. Otherwise, it works well.

Very effective at keeping track of your nutrient intake! It can even suggest products that are rich in a nutrient you're missing. I will note, it's a hassle to select advice per nutrient. It would be nicer if you could click on the specific nutrient and then get the advice. This would look similair to the monthly-overview. Also, being capable of seeing all nutrients of a product would make it easier to compose a diet. TL;DR Good for tracking your nutrient-intake. The UX & UI are lackluster.

Really nice app, simple to use and a lot of popular brands in the system. Could be improved, if you could add yourself items that are not in the system (I use a vegan protein powder, for example) and would be good if you could save your own recipes too, that would save a lot of time!
