User Reviews

• “So far so good.” I’ve only used it for a couple of days for calorie counting, but it works really well. I can search for the food/brand in the daily log and enter the correct serving size. I also like the “quick log” option for times when I’m in a rush or can’t find a specific food—just enter the calories I ate. Overall, it’s worth downloading if you want a calorie tracker.

  

• “IMHO the premium is worth the cost.” It’s user friendly and provides a lot of useful information. The barcode scanner and recipe import make tracking easier. The app keeps up with the nutrients you eat each day, which helps me stay on track with my goals. Compared to other calorie tracking apps I’ve tried, this one is the best.
