Easy to use

This app makes it far easier to log food than any other food logging app I’ve used. With actual pictures of food, verified nutritional info, and a great barcode database, I don’t feel like I’m trying to figure out the best approximation of the thing I ate every time I go to log something. The thing I actually consumed, with its official nutritional information, is right there.

The design itself is also intuitive and simple. The front page is an interactive diary of the day. You don’t have to click through different menus just to add something or to see everything you’ve eaten. Another major food logging app, by comparison, has a landing page filled with so many articles and other info that it just adds an extra barrier to something most people don’t find that easy to do in the first place. It’s such a relief that this app is trying to make it easy to do something that I already want to do. If that means I have to pay, then I will gladly.

As a side note, I live in the UK now, and I really appreciate the amount of UK-specific info this app has. I compared the barcode scanning between this and another app, and where NutraCheck found pecans from M&S, the other app found something that I believe was from Germany and added by a user. This is obviously a specific use case, but it does make it just that little bit nicer to use for anyone in the UK.

10/10 recommend

This is an amazing app and I love it!!!! I love this app because it is very easy to track calories. It gives you a way to be able to scan the barcode of items so that you don’t have to look it up. But there is that option two if you would like to look it up! It also shows you out of everything that you’ve eaten what things are high calories and what things are low calories so that in the future you can plan to eat the lower calorie things. This app also shows you all the nutrition facts about the item/food that you’re eating, Whether it’s calories, sodium, fat, sugar, etc. when you start the app you put in your weight and then you put in the weight that you would like to be and then it sets you on a plan. so it tells you how many calories you should eat each day and how much you should exercise and how many calories you should burn from exercising. There’s also a place where you can see how many calories you have had that day and how many more you need to eat. For the exercising part I love it. You just put in what you did that day and for how long you did it for and it will take the calories off for what you’ve burned. There’s also a section where you can support one another you can put a comment in the section and people will come back and give you advice or give you encouragement it’s really great. There’s so much more on the app that I haven’t even explored. If you are wanting to get on this app I will tell you good luck in you can do it!!!!😀

Apple Watch Issue

Hello! In regards to workouts on Apple Watch how do I disable it so information does not show on daily page? I’ve unchecked it, but information is still showing on daily, but it is greeted out so it’s not adding the calories to total, which is good. Unfortunately, the information when I do have it activated is throwing calories off as it’s not only adding workout calories, but total calories. I believe your app already takes into consideration my daily activity level, since I choose it when setting up app. Another issue with it is when I add an exercise to app, it adds to Apple Watch activity. In other words, if I worked out for an hour through workout on watch and then I added a workout on your app of 30 min, my watch now shows 90 min of workout activity, which completely throws off exercise goal. I’m only manually entering on your app to circumvent the Apple Watch data that is deactivated, but still showing on app greyed out. Long explanation and probably unclear. If you can tell me how to completely disconnect watch from app, I can handle it from there. Otherwise I like the app, but this is a serious flaw from multiple perspectives.
