I've tried counting macros and calories with the fitbit app and the livestrong app but neither was great and neither made it easy to see the daily macros (on the livestrong app the + to add food is RIGHT over the macro numbers). The user interface of this app could use some tweaking (like color/theme options or darker colors and bigger bars on the macros part) but it's still better than anything else I've tried and I hope they'll improve it over time.
This app is far more accurate ( calories per gram wise ) than most apps ive used including my fitness pal. One of the only issues is when scanning food , sometimes nothing will pop up which can be aggravating. Keep improving this app as much as possible please
Let me start of off by saying that I had uninstalled the app because of the recent update and tried other apps but they were a little complicated some or the other way so I thought I will try Macros again. This is the most easist app to count macros period, its straight forward with second to none overview screen. I wish it had the option to add one or more foods from the my food section or some oher day. The developer just fixed what wasn't broken. Good job.
Only issue is there a bug on android where you search for items using the scanner, it find them, but a pop-up on the front of the found item says "item not found" would you like to add yes or no.... and sometime the pop-up won't go away unless you press the back button or the yes or no button 10x or more. Aside from that this app is amazing and very helpful. I didn't want to pay $10 monthly for my fitness pal....
App is great ive been using it for a year now but when i changed my phone (from a galaxy s4 to a s5) the app has problems loading back the data and force closes. Is there a fix for this as i dont want to go to the trouble of re editing food macros that i eat.
This is generally a good app. In fact I've bought the paid version. Why does it lose 2 stars then? Even without ads this thing kills battery. Higher usage than my screen due to very high network/radio utilisation even when in background. It's like it retrieves ads even on paid version. It also doesn't seem to like starting up without an Internet connection. There is literally no need for this 'always on' behavior.
Love the app and have loved all the new updates, i just have one issue at the moment. Everytime i search a food item "online" instead of putting in all the information, it doesnt save to "my foods" everytime i try to look for the same item its long gone from my "recent" tab so i either have to search for it again, or create a new food item. Could you please fix this, thanks
My go to app for macros. A bit of a pain when you first start having to add everything (I've found some of the online stuff, which I presume is user added, not always correct so a quick Google and self add rectifies it). Completely free unlike others, just a good app that does what it should!
Update: Why is this app failing to open?! This was my favorite macro counting app and now nothing. I'm trying to get back into counting macros and struggling to find a replacement. Since the swift backlash to the update the developers have made improvements. It's easy to navigate, clean and color coded. You can use it for carb cycling by customizing each days' macros as well as see the macros for future and past days (awesome).
This app was great. I have been using this app for years. Recently the online look up feature stopped working. The loading wheel just keeps spinning. Once this feature is fixed, this app will be great again. Very much like my fitness pal and there is the ability to create daily calorie goals, which is great for Intermittent fasting.
Wish it had a bigger food database and scanner that worked but its great if you don't mind looking up how many carbs a tomato has. Plus food log isn't alphabetical so if you eat a lot of different foods you gotta search through a big list which can be a little annoying
Let's start out by saying that the ads aren't bad but I paid to remove em purely becuase I want to support the development of this app. Some apps I've tried and there are alot want you to subscribe for service etc.. This one does what I need it to do. Does it well too. Sure it could use a revamp to make it look more modern instead of like grandmas old kitchen table cloth but hey, well done guys. I'll be recommending this to my fellow Trainers
The new updates are wonderful! Thank you to the developers for making the changes we requested and then some. Very happy with all that's available now! I especially like how I can see how many macros I have left on the home screen. EDIT: Got a new phone and tried to download it again but it keeps crashing. Please fix this!
Update! 4-4-18 App does NOT work with Samsung 8. Please fix! This really is the best macro app. Please please please fix! Old review:Works great. Really like the different features of adding food from online data base or add my own. I also like the "if you eat this...then you'll have these macros left" the visual of the meal by meal progress with line and pie grays are great too. Ads aren't annoying either. Great app
I love the simplicity but versatility. Just what I was looking for. I like that you can set your targets easily and it doesnt spam you with suggestions. My criticisms: the dates should include the day of the week, overview and food log dates should not scroll independently of one another, would be nice to see graphs for macro and water consumption like the body weight/fat graphs; but it's all minor!
Most people simply don't like when an app changes just because they aren't used to it. That is not the case here. What used to make this app great was the ability to customize any food entry and have all entries stored locally. New problems with this update: 1. Those entries were deleted. 2. The new interface is bulky and isn't easy to navigate. 3. Adding food and searching food takes longer due to having to ping a server every time you add/search food
it's a great application with some improvable points: 1) bug: when I scan a new food, the "create new food item" box appears multiple times 2) improvable: It would be great to add the food I find online in "my food" section so I wouldn't have to search again for it 3) improvable: when I scan a food, I notice the search is done online firstly and, after that, in "my food" section. It would be great if it were the opposite because sometimes the food information online are not correct. 4) improvable: when I add a new food I have to specify the weight and the "Nutrients per serving" but often the nutrition facts label you find on any packaged food reports this information per 100 grams so it would be great if this calculation were done automatically when you insert this data.
I absolutely love it! It gives the option of adding your own food, which is a lifesaver for someone like me who cooks all the time. I wish it would give us the option of where we wanted our food search to automatically start (online VS recent VS own food) but this is a minor annoyance.
This was a great app and i've used it for about 2 years. Unfortunately I upgraded my phone and it just stopped working, it won't even load. Reluctantly i've had to start using my fitness pal and pay for the premium package. Such a shame :(
I have a brand new S8 and during the original loading where it says it may take a minute it constantly crashes. Nothing wrong on another phone of mine but this is a brand new phone as well.
