✓ Not worth a subscriptionThis app was fine for calorie counting, easy to use interface, synched easily with my other fitness apps. Once the free trial ends, you can only log 5 foods per day which is useless, and then they want you to pay $7 per month to log your calories and I think that is outrageous. A subscription service should have changing content every month otherwise what am I paying for? I would have been happy to pay a flat $3 -$5 dollar fee for this app but I don’t need a monthly charge for a product that essentially stays the same..SlevingccccxxVersion: 9.25.1

✓ Incorrect calories goal for the dayWhile this app is absolutely amazing to count calories and check nutritional values, it miscalculates the calories one has to consume per day. I usually burn 2300 calories/ day without exercising, and around 2600 calories when I do exercise. I included this to my profile, yet it says if I want to lose weight my kcal limit is 1400. That is actually not correct. For around a kg weight loss/week you have to be in 500 kcal deficit not in 1000 kcal, that slows down metabolism, crashes hormonal balance and not healthy on the long term at all, 1400 is the very minimum I have to eat not a goal to keep long term. The problem with the app is that it does not calculate the calories I burn all day, it only includes ‘move’ from apple watch which is 430 kcal but that excludes the calories my body burns just by existing. I think it is a huge problem, what if someone goes by this and eats the bare minimum, so their bodies go into energy saving mode and it actually does not get enough nutrients for the day, prevents weightloss, leads to decrease of energy and a whole lot of medical problems as well as eating disorders. If I burn 2300 calories a day, my kcal limit for (healthy) weightloss should be 1800 not 1400 and I cannot change that, & the app cannot track all calories burned/day and that’s a shame..JskslapsisiakwbeixnsUVersion: 9.8.0

✓ Have to delete, finding another.This app has been great for tracking calories for me however something must have happened between Fitbit and Nutracheck over an update because now my Fitbit will not sync my exercise calories to Nutracheck. After some research, since fitbit isn’t affiliated with Nutracheck, this means it falls on Nutracheck to make sure this sync still happens. I’ve tried every fix and installed another app to see if fitbit would send my info and it does. I would log my exercise if not for the fact that you have to log every individual machine and every set of the machine, which is very annoying to do. As well, Nutracheck’s calorie estimate is always below what I actually burn in calories, meaning I’m losing 100 to even 200 calories. It’s just a pain to manage at this point. If I’m paying a premium (pricy) subscription, I’d expect good service. It use to be a great service me but now it’s not worth it anymore.._SaladAss_64Version: 9.21.1

✓ Could be a 5 if the paid subscription works as well as the free oneUPDATE…. So I have had a response from the very helpful team at nutracheck, but unfortunately still no fix for the app which works as it pleases. So currently using the web site (which by the way you need to put your phone in landscape position to access) which is great unless you live in a mobile signal blackhole. I need the app to work please nutracheck are liaising with apple as it’s not a normal error so let’s wait and see ………….. So I used the free subscription to test the app and it’s awesome, I opt to pay for the year…… I then start recording and the daily menu disappears 🤯. I email them and I instantly think I have got a nice personal message from an actual person hey reply I follow the instructions, turn on turn off uninstall reinstall, and it’s working for 4 hours. Gone again ask for help again and woooo an automated message, not the nice personal message I thought. I use the app to help with my type 1 diabetes and I’m now dead in the water and out of pocket. Thanks very much 😤 …...Knowles ak47Version: 9.18.0

✓ So much incorrect dataI have only been using this app for 3 days now and I have had to correct nutritional information over 15 times already. The barcode scanner quit working after day 2. On some items it will not save your correction to the nutritional information either. I have had to re-enter items total parameters manually in order to simply change something like the serving size or sodium amount. You have to read everything on every item you scan, so far about 40% are wrong in some way or another. You would think that what you’re paying for is for someone to proofread information and make sure the app is storing the correct information..DnsblakeVersion: 7.9.1

✓ Fix thisYou have to be 40 kg or higher to use this app that’s dumb n u gotta be 18 or older. I’m 13 n 13 year olds have growing problems too 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄.Bibs bh.Version: 7.0.0

✓ Not a lot of food pre programmed inI have a hard time finding the foods I have and even when I scan a barcode it’s rarely in the system. Also I would like for it to give me more nutrition info ( all I see is cal and fat). If it gave carbs, and vitamin info as well as recommended serving sizes that would really improve the app. But it gets the job done for now. And I just found out, good luck actually submitting a review cuz it requires a nickname and they are all taken..Jessica sterVersion: 8.8.1

✓ App seems nice but quit working after 2 daysI was really enjoying the app. There were tons of options for foods & exercises. I love how it automatically figured in calories I burned during the day. I was considering buying the yearly membership. But after 2 days the app completely quit working & wouldn’t load at all. Customer service was great when I emailed but could not get the issue fixed. I checked it everyday to see if it was working. Finally on the 5th day it opened & worked. It had saved my first 2 days of info so I was trying to add in what I could remember eating for the last 3 days. Then I get an alert on the app that my 5 day trial was over and I could only enter 5 items for each day. I thought it was a 7 day trial?!? I gave it 2 stars because customer service was amazing & the app has a good concept..Amber7481Version: 8.2.1

✓ No kilojoules only kilocaloriesSeems like a great app but Just in an initial use I found it doesn’t understand joules only calories even though it does allow other SI units such as grams and metres. I want to know my kilojoules intake not kilocalories! Metric units are the international standard after all!.Trej123Version: 8.3.0

✓ Not BadJust wish you guys had more on your list so I didn’t have to constantly add all the barcodes in myself. Not sure I would recommend.Angi@snapchatVersion: 8.1.1

✓ App would be amazing but..I’m an eleven year old who is 5’1 and around eighty to ninety pounds, i wanted this app because i have begun to develop the want to become healthier, so not eat as much unhealthy foods, and regulate my calorie intake. But the app doesn’t allow me to sign up because i’m eleven, and i can’t do anything even with a fake age because i can’t choose the option to loose weight, because even though i sound skinny i’m relatively a bit pudgy. So i am not able to even use the app for what i would like to use it for, i would love to see an app that is kid friendly so i can stay healthier. Overall this app would have most likely been amazing (judging by other reviews) but i can unfortunately not use it..🖱LucasVersion: 8.4.1

✓ Good App BUT….I have just started using this app to help me gain weight n see where I’m lacking with my calorie intake. I went to your exercise tab to try and put in an activity I love to do and play fairly often; and is a growing sport around the United States.. Disc golf! There is no tab for disc golf… sadly… I would love to see it on there to help with tracking my calories a bit better. Love the look and lay out of the app though.. looking forward to continuing use of this application!.Musicfann2014Version: 8.9.1

✓ Loved it but you need to pay to log moreLoved the fact that it takes into account that your breastfeeding and you have option on what your goal is but I’m not willing to pay and I find the food data base is not as broad compared to other ones. I find myself entering manually what I usually eat..IraE14Version: 7.6.0

✓ Useful but InaccurateI use this app every day to track calories, as I have gastritis and am reduced to a very bland diet due to symptoms and I need to ensure that I’m getting enough calories. I appreciate the ease of use, however, I find that this app overestimates sodium by almost 1000 mg per day. For example, I often eat plain white rice. The package states that there is 0 sodium and I don’t add any while cooking. Yet the app marks it as almost 600 mg of sodium. I thought I was exceeding my daily sodium every day and was baffled because I’m on such a bland, healthy diet. Turns out I’m eating the right amount (as confirmed by a dietician) and the app is just inaccurate. Caused me some anxiety, but now I just ignore it..LovedrugVersion: 9.20.1

✓ Aggravating1. The ability to modify portion sizes of already added foods can be 2 menus deep. Even in the first menu there’s an option for 1/2 or 2/4 but none for 3/4. If you want to add 3/4 you need to go to the next menu. Who doesn’t offer 3/4 as a standard? It’s not like asking for 9/32. 2. I find I have to add so many different items, probably 3/4 (oh look, there’s that fraction again) of what I eat isn’t on here. It’s a pain in the neck to add things that the barcode finder isn’t finding. 3. Many barcodes do NOT scan at all on this app but do on others - comes up as an error - which might be a barcode thing in association with this App, but given I find this App shortsighted and frustrating it’s just more of a turnoff..Alsatian555Version: 9.8.1

✓ A Mixed BagWhen I had the free trial it worked a treat, it was a great way to keep track of calories and the support for different types of diets including allowing reduced calories for 5:2 fast days was a welcome addition that competitor app MyFitnessPal lacks. There are a few reasons why this doesn’t get a higher rating. Firstly, the barcode scanner doesn’t recognise most food products in my country whereas MyFitnessPal recognises almost all of them. Also after my trial ended and I started paying a subscription, I still had the 5 item limit which made the app unusable (I presume due to a glitch) so I cancelled my subscription and switched to MyFitnessPal. Even without the glitch, the lack of many British food brands in their catalogue was a borderline dealbreaker for me making MyFitnessPal a no-brainer as my go-to calorie counting app. With some bug fixes, the removal of the 5 item limit and a more diverse food catalogue I would consider switching back to Nutracheck..MrCharles96Version: 7.9.1

✓ Isn’t workingI had the app a few days before it stopped working. Says something like “Whoops, we’re experiencing a temporary issue”. Well now it’s been a few days of that error message and it still doesn’t work. Unfortunate because I like the app and was considering it may be worth the subscription but, I would never pay for an app that only works occasionally. I haven’t been able to track my calories for days and that is a major diet disruptor. I guess I’ll go back to Carb Manager. It’s clunky and harder to use but, it works and it’s free to do everything I need..Little Letters EverywhereVersion: 8.6.0
