Ratings and reviews

PAINFULLY SLOW. It shouldn't take me several minutes to log one meal. Clearing the cache every few days doesn't help. It's almost to the point of being unusable. UPDATE 8/26/25 - in the past, Ate staff has recommended deleting and reinstalling the app as a workaround for the issue of slow operating speeds. This workaround is no longer working. Ate, pls fix this Android system issue.

This is everything I want in a food journaling app. No calorie or macro tracking. This is focused on *how* and *why* you eat throughout the day, and how the food is making you feel. Tracking with Ate allows you to tap into the things that matter, so you aren't doomed to weighing your food and stressing about calories for the rest of your life. I recommend it to anyone who feels they benefit from some form of tracking but want to let go of the rigidity.

3.5 stars: I've been looking for an app like this for a while because logging exactly is too tedious for long-term and I can tell generally by looking at a day if the calories/foods are within target. What I don't like is it is obviously built for iOS and is a bit buggy for Android. For instance, I have given the app camera permission but it thinks the camera doesn't have permissions (I checked in the app data). This makes the option to log a meal using the camera not possible). :(
