Love this App! The only thing that could make this better is the ability to sync my FitBit with it.
Absolutely in love with this app! I've tried many before but this is the only one I've stuck with. You can adjust macros to better fit you or stick with their calculations. Their food library is small, but the in app barcode scanner works well. Building & adjusting recipes is relatively easy, but could be easier with a larger library. My favorite thing is that it encourages you to "close the rings" so that rather than aiming to restrict I feel encouraged to eat well rounded meals.
If all you're looking for is to count macros, this is the app! It does take some usage to discover all the features, but well worth the time. I like being able to create a recipe and then consume a portion of it - makes it super simple, just build your recipe (the bar code feature is great and the database well populated), then portion out the final product for your meal(s). After using it for one day I upgraded to premium; the app is really that great!
Overall I love the app. It needs a few things but it's far better than the other apps. 1) Need a feature to average the macros for the week. 2) Need a bigger library of foods with more accurate macros. 3) After entering the initial weight (g, oz, ml), if I go back to adjust due to eating changes or errors, I can't adjust the weight method. I have to delete the whole thing and start over. Huge issue, most frustrating. 4) Need quick share snapshot feature of daily totals.
Disappointed too see it calculates macros according to outdated "low fat" diets. Even though I can change my macros, it doesn't account for net carbs. Not useful for keto.
Love this app. Simple and effective!
Pros: easy to use, the food you add gets alphabetized Cons: it's incredibly easy to accidentally delete your entries for the day if you swipe--I wanted to see what I previously inputted and thinking that I could swipe to go back a day, I deleted my entries for Dinner. This is poorly designed.
Works great, does everything I wanted when I got it. Now that I use gfit as well, looking forward to the integration 👍👍
went thru about 10 different apps to help with a keto plan, unistalled all till this one. I didn't want just a calculator, didn't want one with quanities i couldn't adjust. I wanted to populate my own food list and without paying for it, finally this one performs wonderfully, has a nice food search database too. so we'll use it, that being said don't know long term how it will perform yet, but so far so good. Have been some glitches but thankfully they've been resolved. Really appreciate the deve
This app is awesome! I've been using others like MyMacros and MyFitnessPal for a while now but never liked either of them. I decided to look for something better and discovered Macros First. Wow, what a night and day difference in terms of user-friendly features! I love being able to add things to my "kitchen" in the app and find *my* items easily and clearly when I search. I love how the app converts anything to grams for you if you choose. So much better than the other apps!
Edit: Thank you for the quick response and the very fast fix!! Really enjoying the ease and accuracy of this app.. Thank you!! This is my 2nd day and it won't recognize internet connection. So I can't add any foods. All other apps are fine.
I was able to easily customize macros in grams instead of percentage. I was assigned a certain amount of each macro in grams. Inputting food was easy as was adding food that was not in data base.
I tested many apps, this was the best I found for those who want to control nutrient macros
Net carbs is a premium paid option. That should be a basic option on any macro app. And no water tracker? That's one of the easiest things to add. Wanted to like this, but nope.
Love this app way more than all the others that I've tried when it comes to macro counting. And when I did run into an issue, the developer responded within an hour and got it fixed! Awesome!
I'm so used to swiping the screen on my smartphone, so I swiped my screen while in the app to advance to the next day only to delete the breakfast and lunch items I created. Hit 'undo' but it only restore lunch. Had to re-create breakfast. App should ASK to confirm deletion instead of automatically deleting.
Excellent backup from the developer. Thanks Now that I've got my head around how to use it I am quite pleased with this app. But I can't see myself wanting to count macros long-term. It makes me feel like I'm obsessing about food LOL
Can't even try because none of the options to create an account work. I guess I'll be back to change rating if I can ever actually use this. Just keeps saying can't connect to their server
Love love love this app. It is easy to navigate and to add foods and recipes. The only thing is that I can't edit a recipe if I made a mistake. If it's me, please let me know what I need to do. But still five star app
App works well. You can scan the food's bar codes to get correct nutrition info and makes changes afterwards toward portions consumed ! You can copy over item to next days. You can also create a food item. Love it
