Been using this app for around 2 years. But one thing that drives me absolutely crazy is the fact that since the bar code scan/food search has very little results/accuracy, I have to just make almost everything in the "my food" section myself and I always have a humongous list of food quickly. I highly recommend someone release a update with a search bar at least, in the my food spot, as literally no one has time to actually go item by item on their "my food" until they find what they need.
App isn't very good, especially when sized up against its competitors. Interface is a little wonky and at times unnecessarily complicated. I can't access detailed analytics on the app for previous days, and I can't open on browser because I used Google sign in to set up the account and the browser demands a password. I'm using it because it was required for a course, but it's not good, doesn't really do what it's supposed to.
Super pleased, I am already loving this app! Naturally I have connected it to my Google Fit account, and get my calories added for me by scanning barcodes of my food! (It can also be done manually, of course.) I wasn't even really going in it for weight loss, specifically, just kind of pre- budget watching where my food adds up and how much and how quickly, realistically. Now I'm super motivated and optimistic about my new goals!!!
I've been using this app for almost 8 years now. It had always been a great resource and easy to navigate. It's so easy to use, especially with the barcode feature. The exercise feature is a bit more difficult to navigate for me but honestly I don't count my exercise and try to remain within my macros which has been working for me.
Looks nice but for the first item I tried adding there was only one size (3 oz.). I wanted to add 8 oz. I added 2.67 servings to get around the constraint but that's not efficient or completely accurate. Other items were easier to add. Layout seems decent. I will update my review after I gain more experience with the app. EDIT: gave it 1 more star for nicely syncing with Google Fit. EDIT 2: removed a star for not showing micronutrients (vitamins/minerals)
This is overall the best calorie counter I have used, but could still be improved. First of all, most of the information in the database is wrong. Even food items that are "verified" still don't match nutrition labels. Barcode scanner also needs work. It only works the second time I scan an item. I scan it once and it says "Item not found". I immediately scan it again and it works. It gets pretty annoying. The concept works though. I have lost about 4 pounds in the 2 weeks I have been using it.
I do love this app, as is, just wish a few things were a bit different. 1. I would LOVE to be able to enter in a full recipe and have it calculate the calories! (Much the same as Weight Watcher's used to calculate points for a recipe) 2. I would love to be able to save my "go to" foods once they've been scanned or entered. (Not as a "my meals" that requires more than one ingredient) The app saves foods as you use them daily, but it's a "rolling" list and often drops your faves off.
This app is very appealing (the UI is good). The only 2 problems I have are that I can't add calories on my own (many food items aren't preloaded into the app and if they are, you have to scroll through a long list of items of a similar name). The other problem is that I can't edit my search in case I happened to misspell a word. Very frustrating!
It's good, but there is room for improvement. Not all barcodes scan with information. I like the fact that I can add my own food items, but I have to memorize or write down the nutritional information because if I leave the app to look at another screen, it resets. Not a good ux, there's really no reason other than poor development. All in all though, one of the better apps out there. They do have a simple interface that offers enough to be valuable without over doing it like others.
Mostly good but frustrating at times when the exact food I'm looking at has a different calorie and/or carb count on this site than what's on the package. Some as much as 10 grams off so I don't trust it's accuracy and have to also keep a food journal so use them both to get closer to the real thing. Now that I know how to fix this (see comment in response to this), I have to change rating to 5 stars. I've tried other apps and don't like any others as well as this. It's easy and covers everything, including Macros that I can change at will. I love the progress chart too. Once they get some of the inconsistencies corrected it will be perfect, but it's already great, definitely worth using, especially now that I know how to help in that area. I would recommend this site.
Best tracker yet. I bodybuild, and I used to live off of MyFitnessPal for years, but I noticed something after years of use. It sucked. It drained my phone battery super fast, even when running in the background. It was complicated to just get to the section to a add food. The main/home page was a blog, not the reason you downloaded it. I have an older phone and it was a laggy mess. This app is quick, efficient, easy, and best of all, I can see my macros right on the home page.
I like this app but it has some glitches that need to be updated. If you mess up when adding in your own "food" you can't go back in and edit it. You have to delete it and re do it and if you switch screens when creating one it resets so you need to have the info right infront of you in order to input which is annoying when I'm getting my nutrition info from chrome on my phone most of the time.
Absolutely love this app! Saw in some reviews that adding your own food wasn't user friendly, but that is not my experience. So long as you have your packaging, adding food is extremely easy! I also haven't had much trouble with the barscanner - sometimes the lighting is off so it won't read but then you just enter it in manually. Would absolutely recommend this for anyone trying to gain control of their weight, health, or simply their relationship with food. :)
I really like this app. It is simple and easy to use. I would pay the money for this app, accept one thing is missing for me. It is a pain to look up food everytime. Having my own saved food list, especially when I look food up by barcode, would make it easier. Instead, I'm searching every time and only recent items pop up. When I'm on the go, it's annoying when I cant find it again unless I have the barcode. If this feature becomes available, I will purchase this app.
This app is great! The UI is super clean and colorful (better than MyFitnessPal IMO) and the food catalog is pretty extensive. I also don't think I've ran into any bugs. The few things that would personally make this even better for me would be increasing the number of saved 'recent items' (currently only 15 or 20 maybe remain as recent?) and having a one-time payment option to make the app ad-free (not a fan of the subscription-based model and don't need all that it comes with).
Great app. With a nice looking interface. But the food selection is limited and Ive had to keep restarting the app every day for a while, or else the day I was adding calories would get messed up. There is also a bug when editing meals, if you remove and then add foods to a meal the preview of calories in my meals will be inaccurate, and overall the my meals tab is not as user friendly as I would like. (Why can't I edit the portions of individual ingredients...)
Love it! Dumped MyFitness Pal after 3 years of sporadic use due to increasing Ads and decreasing content. Here: Ads are right where they should be, they don't blink at you, and they do not take up half the screen. Food is easy to enter, barcode makes it even easier... What more can I ask for? Try it. You won't miss all the garbage that are on the others.
MyPlate gets the job done. And the minimalist UI is nice (especially when compared to MFP's excessively cluttered one). But it's also lacking some of the things that make apps like MFP so nice to use, like the ability to create a meal with a serving count; the ability to add a meal to your day as a meal, and not just as a substitute for five+ other foods. So, as it is now, it's pretty good. But I'd like to see MyPlate improve in the future.
I just started counting and this is a really nice app to do so. It's completely free with optional perks to buy, which is really cool. This is actually a very good tool for someone with adhd, since sometimes I may forget to drink water or eat breakfast. I also really like how it tells you how much protein/carbs/fats you've eaten because it's a good measurement to tell if I need to eat more protein based foods or to cut on fatty foods. Thanks for the neat app!
