It's a great app to use when you are trying to see exactly how many calories you are consuming, how many carbs, fats and proteins too. It's a very easy to use app and the scanner works quite well. Not only that but compared to other food calculators this one seems to have all the food information you would ever need. I highly recommend!

Brent Manley

You never know how much you are really eating until you FAITHFULLY track everything you are stuffing into your mouth. This app does a great job with searches, menus bar code scanning (better than most apps in that department) and tracking those calories. I ponied up for the full version to take advantage of the full app, and am glad I did. Give it try, you will like it as well!

Sam White

I am really enjoying this app. In a week's time I haven't found a food that it doesn't already have in its database and it saves information from nutrients as well as calories so you can meet your daily requirements. This makes tracking your intake easier than ever!

Michael Duguay

I'm surprised he easy it is to use and find so many foods, including local restaurants. I went in needing to lose weight but not particularly motivated to lose weight. But I wanted to know foods and times that might cause me to gain. The additional knowledge I gained caused me to get some motivation and start losing. Greatly exceeded expectations.

Monica Crowley

I love, love, love this app. I've been walking everyday (which this app syncs with map my walk wonderfully), and counting calories using this app. I love that I can scan the barcode and get my calories instantly. I love that it's free. I've been using this app for three months and have already lost 23 lbs. The only thing that could use improvement would be for this app to sync with any fitness tracker device. That isn't top on my list though. Couldn't ask for a better app. Thank you.

Erin Lilly

I used to absolutely love this app, but now I can't even add half of my food items! I'll find it in the list, click the check mark, and... nothing. The items never show up in my diary. I tried everything to figure it out and since I only use this app to track my diet and calories, it's just not worth it to keep it installed if I can't use it.

Calorie counter is good but accuracy for carb % is waaaay off. Something like plain greek yogurt which is 6% show up as a high carb food. I will continue to use but paying for the advanced options isnt worth it. In fact it doesnt even remove the adds :(

Dianne Kilrain August 18, 2017

Love this app. Easy to use and has lots of foods listed on the database. Like that you can look at nutritional macros too. Only complaint is that when you import recipes for calorie count the instructions are not included. So you still have to save recipes mually to get cooking instructions. Also the ingredients import funky too so this part of the app doesn't work well.

Minirox Shaffer August 17, 2017

This summation fits my thought beautifully. "This app has helped me greatly. It is even better now that runtastick and other apps have been made compatible with it. The only drawback is not everything has the correct calories and fat and sugars etc. Even if you scan the barcode sometimes it's a little bit incorrect just keep an eye on that. Otherwise I'm very thankful for this app, it has truly helped me calculate getting proper nutrition."

Nicole August 16, 2017

The preset calorie settings for some things are off. Poptarts and ramen noodles are two things I noticed. Two poptarts are 380 calories but it's listed as half that. A pack of noodles is 380 calories but again listed as half that and these have the green dots next to it like it's verified. It's a calorie counting app that's the one thing that should be 100% right.

Colter Guthrie August 14, 2017

5 minutes in and I hate it. I ran in MPH not KPH, I'm American. Also, I know ravioli isn't a normal breakfast food, but it's what I had, so let me add it to breakfast slot! And I had chicken strips for lunch, so that's where it should be added, not to both lunch and breakfast. Buggy as can be. I'll keep trying, maybe I'm doing something wrong, but having ravioli for breakfast seems pretty simple to me, but apparently not to the app.

Jade Carroll August 17, 2017

It is easy to use and i have previously lost weight using this app. It helps keep you accountable for your diet choices. It helps to make lifestyle changes. I just wish it were easier to meet like minded people and add them as i only have a few friends using it

August 16, 2017

I only use the app to gauze my total carbs vs protein etc. I use the app as a guideline and not a science, not detailed enough to really do proper analysis. This is just for on the go during the day, and it's perfect for that. If you want in depth analysis of your intake then this is not really the app. I also love that endomondo updates to this app. Only drawback is that the uploading of food items is completely open source so you have to make sure you don't add something that a clueless guy added.

Kelsey Strickland August 17, 2017

I've been using the APP for several weeks now and so far it's been great. I haven't had any issues using the barcode scanner or inputting calories manually. I just wish I knew how well the upgrade worked and if it is worth it. I would like to upgrade, but I'm afraid that if I do, I won't be able to cancel when/if I want to.

Madeleine Lily August 18, 2017

I really like this app. It's easy to use, and clean cut. You can track your water and exercise, which some other apps don't have. You're able to customize your profile (for example they gave me too many calories for a day and I was able to lower that). It's also nice because they have recipes and workout advice on the main page if you need any help. I find it sometimes glitches and adds two of something when you're adding food, but it's easy to delete a food item if you have to. The one change I'd make is to be able to not eat back your exercise calories. I.e if you do add your exercise for the day they give you the calories you burned to eat. I'd rather not get them back so I can lose more weight. I'd still like to track my exercise but I don't want the calories I burned back. Otherwise, I really like this app and I will continue to use it.

Michel-Ange Chevry August 19, 2017

The app keeps track of my caloric intake; reminds me to log in my foods; gives me the nutritional breakdown of each food item, and tasks me for going beyond the dietary needs for each nutrient and for failing to eat enough. It praises me when I do well. It's better than having my mom around. I LOVE THIS APP!!! Get it now!

August 14, 2017

The only thing that bothers me is the inability to track net carbs and fiber instead of total carbs. I'm eating a keto diet and I basically have to recreate all the vegetables as "My foods" and input only the net carbs as those are one that kick me out of ketosis. It's pretty onerous task to do this manually.

Amber Haak August 17, 2017

It's a very nice app, but I wish it would have the option to put in different types of diets. I'm endo-keto for my autoimmune diseases, and it's constantly telling me to eat more calories and carbs which I cannot. Also tells me to eat less fat (good fats). If it had that option without going premium, I would give it a higher rating. Other than that I use the app daily and like it.

Lyle J August 17, 2017

Numerous crashes when trying to add to diary. Also cannot complete the daily diary. App just hangs with "please wait". Was considering the upgrade but not with these issues. Looking elsewhere, especially with the pricing as it is. 8/17 update: still crashes multiple times per day. And now it completely freezes waiting for the ad to load. I'm done with this app. Too bad, it was fantastic before UA got it's hands on it!

Luciana Bermudez August 11, 2017

Should be able to break the servings down when tracking recipes for nutritional information instead of having to track the calories for all servings for number of people it serves. Should also be able to add instructions from the recipe's. I just upgraded the app and for the price it costs should add some more features. Should also be able to edit the nutritional information when importing recipes from the internet because I noticed it was off from the recipe on the website a few times now. Other the app is great, I know this is my fitness pal and is somewhat weight watchers friendly but should have an option for people to use weight watchers to be able to do certain things even if it costs a bit extra.

Zach Rorschach August 12, 2017

Great program, besides 2 major things: First off, the price plans are pretty stingy and shouldn't be subscriptions. $10/month or $50 a year. I think $15 for a lifetime is more reasonable. Nobody subscribes to apps. Second, they count total carbs, not net carbs, in your daily macro/nutrition info. So I hope you don't mind getting on Excel and making your own macro/nutrient pie chart for net carbs!

Darshil Shah August 16, 2017

The premium version is too expensive. The free app is really good. But if someone wants a step-up, you would end up paying all the time. There should be a lifetime app rate (instead of only $49 every year)

neshae wells August 16, 2017

Great app. Easy to use if you are dedicated to losing weight or keeping track of what you eat. The developers even responded to an issue I had within 15 minutes of sending an email to them. They obviously have a great team behind this app because I was expecting them to respond days later.

Terry Mahoney August 19, 2017

I grow my own fruit & vegetables and make my own jam and chutneys with said produce so no bar codes. When I have had a bar code, the system doesn't recognise it. The system is obviously brilliant if you buy packaged food all the time.

Dale Goodsell August 16, 2017

I need an app where I can start and end my day. These apps turning over at midnight are no good for all of us that work afternoons and Midnight's. We should be able to set a start and end time for our day. Seems simple enough yet no calorie counting apps offer this as an option. I would rather keep track on paper than to try and work it out over consecutive days.

William Cato August 18, 2017

This app is good for tracking food, but I wouldn't say it is great for workouts, especially strength training. It syncs with several activity monitors, but often the entries do not match. Overall it is a good way to track calories. Recently the complete diary equation does not work; it just hangs and never seems to stop.

Carol Beth Griffith August 18, 2017

I like the app and I can use the calories intake well but I can't afford the monthly payment or yearly payments to have the premium package. I am going back to school and the job I have now doesnt pay but minimum wage. Then when I put in my exercise under strength it says they don't count that? So I am worjing out at a bootcamp for fitness and the app doesn't want to count that??? Really???

Phil Lampert August 16, 2017

App is great at what it does. The food database search needs some improvement: matching queries should be ordered better, as items you search for are often listed underneath items that are only slightly related to the query string. Still an issue in this version; getting more problematic as the database grows.

Dave Anslow August 18, 2017

This is a good app, but every update seems to break something else... Since the last update, the app doesn't communicate with Samsung Health properly and deduct calories based on the amount of steps I have walked. On previous updates where a similar thing has happened, I have disconnected and reconnected to Samsung Health and the issue resolves itself, but not this time.

eraldie donaus August 16, 2017

MyFitnessPal is a life saver. It gives me the opportunity to stay within my daily calorie goals by helping me keep track of what I'm eating. It also provides details about all the nutrients that compose any type of food that you log in your diary. If you happen to be like me, these details help a lot. Thanks to this app, I am able to plan ahead my daily meals while making sure I eat the right amount of carbs, fat, and protein every day. It has been a struggle in the beginning, but I am doing a lot better now 🤗🙂😊 I am happy to say that MyFitnessPal is a real "Pal" to me.

Douglas Martin August 17, 2017

Helpful for tracking calories and the big stuff (fats, vitamin A/C, protein, iorn, calcium etc.) Also this is very friendly with the amount of calories alowed, I think I'm eating more than I was. Yet to wiegh myself over a full month, any wieght loss is probably down to me exercising much more

Barry Brown August 16, 2017

Myfitnesspal does every thing I would want an app of this sort to do! One feature I really like is the barcode scanner and the ability to add products to the data base. Very helpful for adding Canadian foods. Thumbs up!

shar Cruse August 10, 2017

I got a new phone and went to reinstall the app on that phone. I couldn't get past entering in my DOB as I have a galaxy edge. The only way to enter the date of birth is to click the front or back arrow. The app starts you at 1983....I was born 15 years away from that, so I have to tap that friggin arrow not 15 times but 180 TIMES! (12x15...yup it goes a month at a time!) Due to the location of the arrow on my screen, just on the lip of the Galaxy "edge", my finger hits the edge and returns me to the screen behind the DOB. I made several attempts to click perfectly 180 times. Epic fail each attempt. Uninstalling! What happened to simply typing in your DOB or scrolling up or down? What techno geek decided clicking 180 times was efficient?

Jerrald Glaser August 10, 2017

The steps from my other apps and devices don't sync , and if they do then it's never accurate. When I press the steps button there is always an error unable to connect with server. I just want to know how much calories I have buened through out the day, it would be nice if my fitness pal had a burned calories counter instead of relying on 3rd party apps.

Erin Renfroe August 12, 2017

Good for calorie-counting; has a good database for foods and the scanner is pretty accurate. The interface is easy to get used to and ads on the free version are not too intrusive. The free version is also great if all you want to do is keep track of calories and a few basic nutrients. The exercise function is buggy as heck. It purports to "give you back" calories you earn based on exercise, but it does really weird things - like give me 300 calories based on walking, only for those 300 calories to disappear later in the day, which puts me "over" my calorie limit. Basically nullifies that whole function, which is frustrating.

Marie's Space August 15, 2017

I love it. All my foods so far, that have a barcode, have scanned, even my BC grown strawberries which I wasn't expecting. The only thing I would change is with the nutrient breakdown I wish you had the option to separate added sugars from naturally occurring sugars. I'm trying to cut all added sugars but am not too concerned with natural sugars at the moment.

Alan V August 20, 2017

Great app but all of the sudden my progres is converted to inches or some other silly units. max 2 stars until fixed. As suggested I wrote to support 2 times but over year and nothing has happened. Premium pricing is also big overkill.

Food, exercise journaling work well, but integration with other apps does not (at least, not with Pacer). I also enter data on multiple platforms, and sync'ing is often very slow.

August 18, 2017

Very easy to use. Bit pricey for premium so sticking with the free version. Haven't found all foods I've searched for, but considering the number of foods out there, it would be difficult to have everything.

Leo McCormick August 20, 2017

The best attribute of this app would be the large catalog base of foods. You can either scan the barcode or manually search your food item. 9x out of 10, your item will be there. What I dislike of this app is the limitation to the user by forcing to "upgrade" in order to manually input nutritional information or edit. There also seems to be a system error where some of the foods you frequently use disappear making the process less efficient at times.
