Ratings and reviews

I want to love this app so much. I've been using the Calorie King books ever since I was diagnosed in the 90s, but this app is just not where it needs to be. Perks are it's simple and streamlined, but needs a "meal calculator" that you can add individual items to get a total. I would gladly pay for premium features like no ads and a way to save meals. Calorie King has always been the most accurate nutrition log I've used, and while I'm excited for an app, I'm disappointed it's so barebones.

This has a large selection of items but every time you click on a food, it brings up an ad. Irritating as hell! This is the android version; the iphone version let's you pay to eliminate ads. I had to find a separate ad blocker for $20 a year to stop the racket. Also, I tried scanning some bar codes and every time it came up that it wasn't in the program yet. The only category that shows up is alcohol. Might as well not bother saying there are categories. Easy to look up a single item's carbs.

Some things only listed in oz, or in arbitrary amounts with weight in parentheses so you have to do more calculations. In order to get nutrition information on raw carrots, I can pick a few pre-existing carrot weights, or I can scroll down, pick "carrots" under Golden Corral (!) and suddenly I am allowed to enter grams of carrot freehand. Or ounces. Thanks, Golden Corral, but it's kind of a weird way to have to do it.
