A wellness tracker that actually stands out from the rest.

I’ve seen and used many different wellness trackers during my time trying to meet a healthy weight. And all of these apps are great. They do there job and I have nothing to complain about. However, I never stick with any wellness apps because they are too good, and therefore, overly complicated. This is the pet where this app comes in. It’s dead simple to use which keeps me coming back to log my food intake. As long as you have a scale to weigh the food your eating, this simple app makes the chore of logging macros into kinda a game in a way. When I wake up I genuinely want to weigh my food and log it into the app because it’s very accurate, very thorough, and very effective. But finding all that in an app that is as simple as this one is hard to find. The app even automatically tally’s all of your calories for the day and differentiates the macros. This way in a matter of a second you can figure out if you met your goal. This app also integrates with restaurants so even if you have to eat out you can still log your calories for the food you order! All in all this app is effective, accurate, it’s fun to use and most importantly, its actually easy to understand and use!

ALMOST Perfect! 😩

I started using this app about a week ago to replace MyFitnessPal (which I had been using since 2012 but got annoyed with because of their removing barcode scanning and their recently putting ads in very inconvenient places). I enjoy this app because searching for and logging foods is rather seamless; it is pretty intuitive to use. It also makes tracking your macros and micros easy. My only gripe about the Nutritionix app is a single glitch that I experience. I often log a day’s meals all at once. However, after successfully logging breakfast, I attempt to log lunch for that day and it doesn’t appear in the diary. So I do it again and again and again, and it still doesn’t appear. So I have to close the app and reopen it after logging one meal in order to log another meal. This pretty much happens every time I use the app; it’s a tad annoying, especially the first few times that I attempted to log one meal 3 or 4 times before I realized that it was a glitch. Hopefully, this glitch will get fixed so I can thoroughly enjoy this app. Otherwise, I like that this app does push and pull information from the Apple health app. I also appreciate that several of the restaurants I have searched have their items in this app. I further appreciate the (?)general food item that you can log if you for some reason can’t find your exact food so you don’t have to create your own every time.

I've used this for about 1 week.

As per the title, I've only used this app for a relatively short amount of time, but so far I'm loving it. The barcode scanner system they have makes things fun for me. When entering in my weight, there's a little graph that shows how high or low it goes over time so I submitted all the recordings I had previously written down and it's very fulfilling seeing my progress on the chart. I do have minor issues with teeny aspects of parts of information that you can submit, but I've found unique ways to get around it within the app. If I were to suggest something that's not exactly necessary, I would suggest "stickers" for the calendar. Maybe enter in a cake or balloon emoji for a day as a visual guide that there was a birthday party I went to. Possibly a toggle to show it on the weight graph too above or below the dot markers as another fun little visualization. For individuals with menstrual cycles(like me), it would be comforting seeing that my weight loss wasn't as much as I would've preferred it be with the visualization of some type of emoji representing that too. Or a sickness emoji. My main point is other heath/event factors like those would likely improve the interface for visual individuals.

Love It

I have used a lot of trackers over the years and this one tops them all. Simple to use. Let’s you edit freely, copy frequently used foods from previous days, great food search database, ability to enter custom foods, recipes, so versatile. Let’s you enter your goals not only for weight, but for ratio of protein, fat and carbs, a feature I’ve been craving. Tracks these ratios, plus calories and exercise. Shows these in a usable format as you log throughout the day. Love that you can click on any section, lunch, snacks, and get individual recap of calories, ratios, etc. This let’s you analyze each meal or the whole day. I am just below pre-diabetic so my goal is to up my protein and lower my carb and sugar intake. What a surprise when you can track these and see what you are really eating! This is so motivating and makes me feel in control, giving me the tools I need to manage what I eat and to meet my goals of delicious, easy, healthy eating. I just did a web search for high protein, low carb snacks and found many things I actually like that I can’t wait to log to see how they improve my ratios. Thank you for this tracker!

Best app ever

In 2005 I found out I had celiac disease. Fun trying to find GF food back then. On top of that I just found out my blood sugar is high so pre diabetic. I had absolutely no idea how to track my food nutritional and sugar intake until I found this app. I have lost 5 pounds in one week and feel great. More energy! Better yet, it’s so easy to use ( and I am tech challenged for sure.) Other apps make it impossible to input correct meal info. Since I am Italian, love to cook, but due to my GF diet most recipes are my own not store bought, it was impossible to calculate my nutritional input with other apps. With this app I can input my own recipes and save them ,download ingredients with bar codes, and most of the ingredients I input are recognized by the App anyway. You can check the nutritional contents for an ingredient, a meal or the whole day. Plus you have exercise you can add and your daily weight. It tells you everything you need to know in order to be healthy and fit. Definitely a life saver for me, literally!! It won’t disappoint!!! Health matters

I wanted to love this app

I really like this app. I wanted to love it. It’s simple to use and effective for doing what you need for the most part. HOWEVER-there are a couple of things that are problems that I’ve noticed. One is that my nutrient chart shows a lot of alcohol has been consumed, and I have not logged any at all. This isn’t a deal breaker, BUT-the deal breaker is the custom recipe page. If you cook at home a lot and need to enter your own recipes, you might as well forget it. The ingredients are not customizable, meaning you cannot choose the exact ingredient you want-so basically you are getting an estimate of whatever brand the app wants to use and hope for the best as it tabulates ingredient calories. That just won’t work for anyone who cooks as much as I do. I need to be able to enter exact amounts and brands or have a choice of options. Right now as it is there are NONE. If you eat all packaged foods, it’ll work well, but unfortunately unless this part of the app gets a serious overhaul, I’m going to have to go with something else. If this gets updated I’ll definitely start using this app again!

Enjoying it so far! Just one concern

This is exactly what I needed. The restaurant food database in particular is super helpful. That has always been an issue with my calorie/nutrition tracking in the past, and now I can log specific restaurant foods - because in my experience, those are the meals that are most likely to put me over my calorie goal, and they're the ones I have to be most mindful of! My only issue is that I can't get the app to stay connected with my Apple Health app. I want it to pull my exercise data from Apple Health so it can account for burned calories and adjust my calorie goal for the day. I keep setting it (and the weight data from Apple Health) to "pull," and it does work, but it always reverts back to "off." Every time I open the app I have to go set it back to "pull" to get my latest burned calories to show up. Not the end of the world but it's kinda inconvenient. It would be great if there was a save button so you know it's keeping the settings you change.

Great database and functionality, some minor problems

Overall, the functionality of this food tracker is the best I’ve found. Large database of foods with correct/reasonable values for generic foods, the ability to scan bar codes, set up your make your own meals/recipes, a restaurant meal planner... Other similar apps seem to be inundated with incorrect information that the public has entered, making it hard to get good tracking. One bug that detracts from it though is that it seems to update the Apple HealthKit app multiple times per day with the entire calorie/nutrient values leading to the HealthKit having wrong/double values. I did ensure that the time zone matches the phone time zone - it really looks like the issue is that the HealthKit API is being used incorrectly in the app. This really needs to be fixed.***This has been fixed*** One good enhancement to the UI would be to allow multiple entries from the page where it shows you “foods eaten for (meal)”. If you want to add multiple foods you’ve had before, each time you click, it takes you to another page and you have to menu back.

As close to perfect as likely exists!

I LOVE this app! The barcode scanner makes it easy for quick entries. I love that I can type in a recipe and it will calculate the calories for me. Everything about this app makes dieting easier. My only suggestions would be the following: 1. If there was a way to separate out added sugar in the daily stats, that would be helpful. 2. Same with fats - if there was a breakdown of the different types of fats in the daily stats, it would be nice. It does separate out saturated fats, so I could do the math for the others in general, but there is no way to know which are monounsaturated. 3. If, in the stats, you could click on the different items, like cholesterol, and see a list of which foods contained it and how much, it would be easier than having to go through the daily log to figure it out. 4. When entering exercise, it would be great if there was the option enter extra info to get a more accurate calorie estimate, like boxes for pace, duration, miles, etc. I can tell you that I don’t walk at the same pace every day but it doesn’t seem like my speed or distance is taken into consideration when I enter it into the single box and it calculates my calories used. None of these things make the app any less useful though. It is helping me stay motivated. It has a million excellent features. It makes tracking daily intake very easy!

Not HAPPY and updates are not reliable no help from support!!!

When I updated the app on my phone and opened it all my recipes were gone. I use this app on my phone and I like to use the desktop as well. I have used it for several years. They now will not sync up. I want to see something on my phone That I added to my desktop I have to enter every thing twice. I do NOT want to update the desktop because I do not want to loose all my recipes like I did on my phone. If I am adding a recipe your support people told me a long time ago to put it on the desktop version which I have not minded to do. However, putting everything on twice since the update is really getting old. I don’t want to lose everything on my recipes because I use that feature all the time every day. I would like for my phone app and the desktop to sync which it does not do. HELP. I have tried to contact your support but the link hasn’t worked since the update. I have tried several times in the last few weeks. There is nothing easy about this app anymore. I have tried for what is beginning to be a long time with no offer of help. If you are thinking if using this app I would not.

Almost there!

I’ve been piloting this app as a replacement for MFP. (I’m looking for an app without all the social content, feeds, gamification, etc. that clutter up the experience and just distract me from why I’m using the app. The crowd sourced nutrition data on MFP has been a problem for me - many users are careless or do wacky things with their data entry, making it unreliable. Also, don’t want to pay the hefty subscription fee for some basic items like macro tracking.) Track addresses all of the above reasons I’m looking for a new nutrition tracker. However, are a few things Track still needs: ability to set different calorie goals for each day of the week (I plan for a little more intake on weekends), the Calendar Date picker seems broken, tablet or desktop interfaces are not available, and the ability to copy an entire day would be a great addition.) Overall, I think it’s likely Track may be my new nutrition tracker, especially if the calendar date picker bug is fixed and some of the above enhancements may be available in the future.

Best one I’ve found so far

I have tried a lot of the fitness trackers but they all had one common factor that led me to quit using them which was essentially an unhealthy level of “reminders” if you skip a day or meal or being overly focused on labeling a “bad” day as that. Ultimately I felt they contributed to unhealthy eating patterns for the long term. I just wanted a way to track my protein intake in a simple way without constantly being harassed by the app if I skipped a day. This is easy to use. It has most foods and entering manually is easy if not. The free form recipes aren’t perfect but they’re really easy to use. I like that I can share the recipe with my husband if he is choosing to track as well. If I choose to I can easily set my goal to 0% for every macros and then you just get a breakdown of your day, perfect for evaluating a starting point or simple intake tracking without guilt, but it’s there if you want to set a goal.

Outstanding

It’s pretty rare that I seek out writing a review for an app. Most apps prompt you to write them, but this one I am writing simply because I want to. I have used other trackers in the past and this one is by far my favorite to date. Some have excessive cost and others are just not as user-friendly. The way this app breaks down your daily intake of micro nutrients as well as macro nutrients and allows you to input everything in a simple and intuitive manner, makes this a product I strongly recommend for anybody who is interested in keeping a good grasp on what day and take daily. My only suggestion as of right now would be to allow more integration with other applications so that I do not have to manually enter things like my weight. That being said, it does say there are additional app integration coming soon, so they are likely already addressing my only complaint.

Add Garmin!

My nutritionist recommended this website for tracking calories and nutrients as it’s newer and she felt more accurate than MyFitnessPal. I ran them simultaneously for a week or 2 just to compare. I’m now strictly on Nutritionix and I’m getting to know it although I’ve ran into a snag when trying to copy things. I haven’t figured out yet if that was my phone, the app or I’m doing something wrong. I no longer use my Fitbit as it’s old I have a much newer, better Garmin Forerunner which the app does not support. Get Garmin on here for exercise tracking! 😁 The food inventory is pretty good but does not match that of MyFitnessPal just yet, but it’s close. I’m assuming as this app is around longer it will. But it’s certainly easy enough to find comparables. I love the ratio breakdowns per mean, not just total on the day. Great app!

Food history fixed, back to five stars

Update. The very next day after submitting a one star review the issue described below has been fixed. Thank you for correcting the issue. This remains my favorite app for tracking macro and micro nutrient intake. One of the features that makes this app useful is broken and support is not responding to requests to fix it. Food history, when working properly, allows users to quickly add food items they have used previously. It stopped working sometime around March 13th 2022. The past 4 years this app has been a solid five stars but with the food history broken the app is miserable to use. The problem occurs on multiple devices and even the website has the same exact problem. So it’s obviously not an isolated issue and it needs to be fixed ASAP. Posting here with a one star rating in the hopes it will finally get someone to acknowledge the issue and fix it.

Fix the new bugs

Been using this app for quite some time now, and I have loved it from pretty much day one. However, recently I've been continually running into an issue where what I log doesn't actually enter my log. I've tried refreshing and deleting and redownloading the app, and I just had this happen to me once again. I don't think I need to state how frustrating it is to enter in an entire meal, sometimes 5 or 6 different foods and their quantities, just to have to eventually get my computer out and log the exact same stuff on the website. Please get this bug sorted out and quickly so I don't have to swap to an inferior app. Thanks! Edit*** Just read another review that said this was happening to them as well whenever they tried to log any part of their meal using grams (g). Just tested this out, and this has indeed been the issue for me as well. Please fix the bug that will keep whatever is logged, even if it's measured in grams!

App is Free, So Keep that in Mind

I have been using this app since December 2020. So I know how it works really well! It’s free—that’s great. It’s also very glitchy. There are a number of foods that you simply can’t add to your daily log. There really isn’t a reason why. And when I emailed the company about the issue, they said it was a free app so they don’t provide support for it. I have just been choosing foods that are close to what I was trying to log, but I have some specific foods that I’ve added in manually, and no matter what I do I can’t get them to log. So if you’re really concerned about tracking specific things, this is not the app for you! And if you login with your Apple ID you can’t login on their website, only the app. And so you can’t download your information from the website. Which is a big bummer because now I have to go back through the last 2 1/2 years and manually re-log my information. So if your date is important to you, again, don’t use this app!

Intuitive, quick, accurate

I’m a Licensed Dietitian Nutritionist who’s tried dozens of food tracking and analysis apps over the years. THIS is the only one I’ve ever continued using for myself. I like everything about it, especially that I can add my own recipes! Having said that, Track fails to find my personal recipes when I try to log them into a meal. I must go to the recipes section, scroll to and open the recipe, then log 1 serving. I’ve also repeatedly run into difficulties lately when I try to log a batch of foods at one time. Nothing gets posted to the meal, so I have to reenter everything one item at a time. Several clients I have referred to this application who use it daily are also reporting the same 2 problems. I’m hoping this review will prompt you to look into what might be causing the difficulties and correct them in the next upgrade. These are not big enough problems to stop me from using the app, but it’s annoying and I know you want to do better. I’m currently teaching a group of 21 women who struggle with weight maintenance. I wanted to demonstrate Nutritionix track to them, but I have decided against it for the reasons listed above. When they’re fixed, I’ll get them set up. Thanks

LOVE

I’ve had this app for over 3 years and it’s the best tracking app I’ve found...and it’s free with no paid upgrades! What I love about it is that you can scan foods in with a barcode scanner, you can add your own custom foods or recipes, they have an EXTENSIVE restaurant database, all foods in the app are very accurate (unlike other apps) so you don’t have so guess if whah you’re tracking is accurate or not, the nutritionix team is very fast to respond with any questions or concerns about the app, I’ve emailed support a few times about little bugs and they fix them immediately, it’s super user friendly, it shows you the meal’s whole nutrition and the day’s while nutrition facts, you can see how much you’ve eaten for the day and see how much you have left...I could go on! I am a nutrition and macro coach and I recommend this app to all my clients.

So much better than what I used before

I have been logging my calories with another app for almost 10 years. Most of that time I was a paid subscriber. Despite that, I found recently it was popping me to the "social" screen more and more, often right while I was entering foods or water. I contacted their technical support and they acknowledged this behavior and said they would "consider" staying on the last screen used as a possible future enhancement for paid subscribers. So I started looking for a better app. This app does everything the other did - records calories, water, exercise, scans barcodes, graphs weight - without the annoyances. Simple screen - no ads or flashy animations even though I have not yet paid anything. Just the info I need.

Amazing App, horrible maintenance!

This is by far my favorite app to track my calories and I’ve tried plenty! From free to paid ones and everything in between. I like the fact that the data base on this is huge creating recepies its super easy AND you can share them with your house hold so they can track their portions too! Best thing ever. HOWEVER I would have given this app 10 stars if it wasn’t for the horrible bugs! It often times takes more than 3 scans for something to show on my log, and if you change portions on certain items it won’t log, you have to add a full portion and then edit it. Little things like this make the app annoying to use and have made me look for a new app to use. Am writing this review in hopes that the developers will see it and listen to my petition to upkeep it better. I wouldn’t mind paying a “pro” fee if you could upkeep it! 🙏🏽

Awesome, except…

I mostly really like this app, the interface is well designed, the food database is very comprehensive and seems pretty accurate. However, the way this app syncs data with Apple Health is pretty irritating. Instead of creating separate entries for each food or meal, it creates one entry for the whole day with a start time of midnight and an end time of 11:59pm. When other apps read data entered this way, they just display one entry for one of those times. I need to track carbs for diabetes management, this data storage method makes it impossible to compare carb intake against blood sugar readings and medication timings. My workaround for now is to not allow Nutritionix to write carb data (you can change this in your Apple health profile), and instead I record the food I eat in Nutritionix, and then manually enter the carbs in my diabetes management app. A fix to the app itself would be amazing.

Loss of functionality

I’ve loved and used this app for months to share my food logs with my Nutritionist. It was very intuitive and easy to use. It was extremely time saving by suggesting foods based on the time of day and previous meals eaten. Ever since the last app or iOS update came out my daily food logging has become extremely painful and slow. The old functionality of moving your most recently and most often logged food item even my recipes no longer rise to the top of choices. I cannot even get the search function to find my recipes. I must now drill into recipes and log the dish from within the ingredient list. I am now continually having to scan the barcodes of items I’m trying to log. Even if it is something I eat everyday. That, or drill back in my history of meals on certain days and use the copy function to enter items on my current day. Please, please resolve this “bug”/ loss of functionality.

For tracking, it does ok, but the UX needs a lot of work

I love that it tracks most things. I wish it tracked Fiber too, and soluble vs non-soluble for items it knows about like fruits and veggies. I mean, it does track fiber as I can see the data in HealthKit when it syncs, just not in the app itself. Great that you can barcode scan, and it is real simple to add things if it doesn’t know them. Just tried the recipe feature today. Was nice, but would have been better to not have to switch back and forth from my camera app to Track to scan in text. Plus, when I did switch back and forth, the UX would not let me get back to the directions field very easily … would always pop the Save button and not let me scroll. had to press and hold scroll up with one finger and then tap on the field with another finger when I was able to get the field into view to get the app to go into text edit mode. But, once I got the recipe in, worked great! One other item to fix is HealthKit integration. The Push of data from Track is sticky, but I want to pull in exercise and weight so my nutritionist can see it. However, I have to re-enable pull every day to get it to update. Why can’t the just be a Sync option the pushes data from track if it has it and pulls from HealthKit if it doesn’t?

My favorite food tracker

I tried multiple food/diet/nutrition apps, including My Fittness Pal, but found this app was easier to use adding individual foods or creating recipes with nutrition macros broken down per serving. Can adjust personal goals for daily amounts of protein, carbs, and fats so it fits a variety of dietary needs— which for me is a low carb, high fat diet to control Type 2 diabetes. It quickly pulls up what I typically eat at certain times of day so I don’t have to go looking to log 2 eggs every morning. LOVE that it’s a free app with so many food nutrition info available (and easily scaled to my serving) or to scan with my phone. Plus tons of restaurants are included. Easily log exercise and water intake. So many awesome features. Did I mention it’s free? Helps me stay on track and motivated. Thank you for this awesome app!

Apple Health sync leaves my other apps believing I only eat at midnight

While this app is the easiest I've used in tracking my carb intake, its inability to save the correct time to Apple Health renders the app not just useless durring the day, but is highly problematic come midnight... I have a series of other apps that share and pull data from Apple Health, one of which can make specific recommendations based off my carb intake & other data. Those recommendations are time dependent, meaning its recommendations will be different if I ate 30g carbs 2 hours ago vs. 10g carbs 1 hour ago vs. fasting. This morning I had logged my breakfast in Nutritionix, and it wrote that I had consumed 40g to Apple Health... When I went into my other app, it showed I hadn't eaten breakfast. After going into Apple Health, I saw Nutritionix had logged the carbs, but the time reflected 11:59 PM tonight (17 hours into the future). I quickly determined Nutritionix sets the time of all data it sends to Apple Health as 11:59 PM the current day. The end result is all other apps that rely upon this data will not recognize any carb intake durring the day. What's worse is, come midnight, my other app will make recommendations believing I had consumed an entire days worth of carbs all at once. I found that if I manually go into Apple Health, delete the carb entry made by Nutritionix [dated 11:59pm], then manually enter the exact same value with the curren time, my other apps work perfectly.

So far so good

I have been using this app the track my habits for a week now and it has given me a great insight into my daily consumption this far. The fact you can type most brands, foods, or restaurants in and it pulls up the item (if they have it saved on their side) and log it easily without having to take a long time to put all the effort into every ingredient, etc. If they don't have it they ask you to take pictures for them so that they can get it in their system for use by other people in the future etc. i can log what i did for my workout, if i put together a sandwich i can name each individual ingredient and it knows the calories, fats, proteins etc. I’m excited to see where the future takes this app for sure 👍

Great app with major flaw

Generally this is a dream app if you’re interested in tracking calories and exercise but I keep hitting a recurring bug that is driving me up the wall. For whatever reason, the app randomly will not log a food item. No error or warning. It acts like the item was logged but nothing happens. Kept thinking it was me but my son tried out the app and he’s noticed the same thing. Super frustrating. It happens daily, and really makes it impossible for me to give this app anything higher than 3 stars. If not for that issue, 5 stars easily. The app doesn’t have any way to report bugs so I assume the developer doesn’t want the feedback. It’s a shame. I like the app but will probably move on to something else.

Only app that has nutrition split for restaurant meals

Its the best free calorie counter app and nutrition log so far. I have used so many apps including my plate and atkins, but this is the best. No other app has macros splig and nutrition content for restaurant foods and daily grocery items. Its great that it allows me to set my own daily macro percentage and helps me keep track of the macros. The daily weight log and water intake is a bonus. Most apps give water tracker only for premium users. This app even allows me to create my own food and recipes. It has recommended tab for snacks suggested by dietitian, i don’t use that much though. The only thing this app doesnt have is suggested food recipes, like keto friendly, high protein foods etc. If they include recipes and tips, Nutritionix will be the best!!

Not accurate

I am upset and disappointed because I had high hopes for this app. It came with a lot of good recommendations. However, when I came to use it, everything started out fine my last meal entry of the day I scanned every item and compiled them into the basket. When I tried to add them, it would not do it, so I had to then remove an eight item recipe rescan every single bag put it back again, the app lost my input did not apply it if it is going to leave items off of your log then the app is not accurate regardless of how Precise it is with your other items if you’re gonna leave entire meals out and steal time because we had to keep inputting them to no avail how can you really track and monitor anything if the chooses to add at its discretion?? Very disappointing I will give it another shot but if it continues to leave items off, there’s no point in even using this app..

Handy tracking

I was introduced to this program by a family member with the intention of monitoring my food intake. I am trying to gain weight and need to increase my carbohydrates and minerals. This program does that but one has to become very familiar with the quirks of the program to use it with any accuracy. I am supposed to have two snacks per day but the program only provides one in the morning. I searched desperately for a way to add an afternoon snack but came to the conclusion that it was not possible. Another difficulty I had to deal with involves specific foods. It is not always possible to add an uncommon food, at least I did not see how to do it. All in all, if you make compromises and estimates the program will provide you with a general evaluation of your food intake.

This has everything and more!

I am really impressed with this app, especially because it is free! It allows you to add your own recipes and custom foods with ease, even allowing you to put a picture with each one. The barcode feature for adding food is super handy. The fact that you can add your exercise and have it subtracted from your total calorie count is a nice touch too. The only thing I would change is being able to set a goal for net carbs rather than for all carbs. It does list the net carbs for you, but doing keto, my goal is for net carbs, so I do need to scroll down to see the net carbs, and it always looks like I have gone over my carb goal when I may not have.

Great app with one big issue

The app itself is great and makes tracking calories and macros very easy, with one exception- carbs. While fiber is technically a carb, it has no nutritional value and therefore should be excluded from the total carb count. Unfortunately, Tracker includes fiber in the daily totals at the top of the screen as well as on the pie chart graphic rather than going with “net carbs”(total carbs minus fiber). This will likely make users think they have consumed more carbohydrate calories than they really have, which can be a big problem, especially for athletes or those on certain diets. In summary, Nutritionix Tracker would be nearly perfect if the developers would show “net carbs” rather than total carbs in the daily values, or at least make it an option in the settings.

Best for Tracking

This app is super easy to use for tracking food. It’s very smart, and can interpret ingredients well. You can enter things like “1/2 cup corn kernels 60 cal” and it figures it all out. No hunting through lists of foods, or hoping between creating a custom food. The recipe and custom food tools are there and work great when you need them. The app integrates with Apple HealthKit so you can get your daily exercise calorie offset imported, and it pushes your consumption over to HealthKit. There’s no bells and whistles outside of tracking, which keeps the interface, clean and easy to use. Trying to use some of the other more feature which apps for meal tracking is tedious and time consuming.

Nope

It looks like it does just what I was looking for, allowing me to talk to it and tell it what I’m eating instead of making me type in stuff. But with a privacy policy that says that Nutritionix owns all my data and will resell it to anyone they choose, without any provisions for anonymization or any other privacy-preserving measures, it’s a non-starter. And besides, it only works in portrait mode. Here’s what I really want: - maintains my privacy, selling only aggregated, anonymized data to advertisers. Per-user profiling doesn’t work, but if you must, own my profile yourself and don’t give out the raw data - use face & fingerprint recognition for user authentication - allow me to enter meal items by speech recognition - allow me to scan UPC codes or Nutrition Facts blocks to obtain calorie values - allow me to enter partial portion values and then do the math for me based on standard portion data - provide reports filtered by time of day, so I can tell how much late-night snacking I’m doing - provide for multi-device use, It looks like it does just what I want, allowing me to talk to it and tell it what I’m eating instead of making me type in stuff. But with a privacy policy that says that on my iPhone and iPad in landscape mode I would pay for an app that did all this. I would pay even more for an ad-free, totally private version.

A True Lifesaver

This app is a real gem for those who must track their diet due to a medical condition. The vast database of foods and menu items is indispensable when trying to eat healthy “on the road”. I’ve lost 20 lbs ( 9 kg ) in 4 months!!! Additionally, it has helped to bring cholesterol, sodium and blood sugar under control. My physicians have been completely blown away and asked for details so they can share with other patients. BRAVO! Only negative is that the calorie counts shown in the website Dashboard Labs (Beta) do not include those burned by activity thus giving the false report that consumption exceed daily limits. This is not directly attributed to a shortcoming in the app itself, but in the web-based report.

Fantastic Tracking App - A bug though

This app has been fantastic for calorie and macro tracking. My favorite feature is the ability consistently enter gram amounts for food. It makes recipes and meal prep a breeze. The scan feature is also great, however, I noticed that some foods when scanned or are name brand items, won’t log properly. They’ll show up on the cart but when I hit save, they just disappear. I’m not sure what foods it does it with specifically, just something I’ve noticed. A work around is to just log a generic food that is similar enough. I’ve had great success with this app, and I plan to keep using it. To the team working on development and production for this app, thank you, your work is much appreciated.

Better than others!

First and for most, if you’re goals are the same as mine(weight loss), this is huge. I tried all the calories counter apps and considering this is free, no doubt it’s the best app to execute. It’s data driven by the user, scan items to add to data base for others to use. This is also why there is such a. Huge library of restaurants and groceries to pick from. This is also why it’s free. I’m talking to you FitnessPal. This app has helped me lose 157lbs and played a role in saving my life. Good luck on your journey everyone and make yourself proud. It will keep you going once your results override your effort. You will know what I’m talking about when you get there😉.

I’ve been using this app and really love it. The only problem I’ve had was a update that crashed and I lost everything. I had to start over. It’s a great app and I’ve lost 16 lbs so far. I gained weight after a foot surgery last year. This app lets you keep up with your daily totals of food. If I went over the allotted calories I have set for myself, I still keep up with everything. When I don’t lose I can look back and see what I need to do the next week. Why this app is so useful, it lets you scan your barcode on your food. I worked for WW 7 years and that so important to track what you eat. So you can tweak the next week. Enjoy this app and highly recommend!

Loving it, but some flaws

I'm loving this app, for the most part. It can do a lot that many other apps make you pay for. I'm thankful I can track all the nutrition info easily. Easy to find foods or just scan the bar codes. I have had some foods not found, but it's easy to manually enter them. Nice that you can make a 'recipe' if you make the same thing all the time. I like that it has 3 snack spots. LOVE that it makes a nutrition label for your day. One thing I find frustrating is there is no way to save the option to push/pull info from third party connected apps. I have to change the setting every day for it to pull the info. Why won't it stay that way?!! No way to contact support in the app for help.

Most comprehensive app

The food label for the individual is the best!! Tried other apps but this one is by far the most comprehensive. I’ve shared this app with two others who are using different apps and they switched to Nutritionix. I find the “food” labels most beneficial. In addition to food labels that list the nutrients, a label is created listing the individual’s intake throughout the day. I can check my numbers prior to consuming any food, thereby, making it easier to make healthier choices. The app also tracks exercise and water consumption. Adding foods to the list is easy. It has most of the foods already in its data base. I’ve only had to create (add) one food item and it was very easy to do.

Nice simple tracking app

I was looking for a tracking app that was pretty straightforward and gave me flexibility with tracking. I did not want it to be overly complex because then I would not track. Suggestions- 1) have an option to not include exercise calories in the calorie goal. I don’t want to eat my exercise calories but I’d like to put in my exercise. Since it changes my calories allowed, I don’t track exercise in here. 2) have a manual calorie entry for when you eat somewhere and don’t have info for a recipe and don’t want to save, you just want to say I had this and it was X calories. Overall I’m very happy with the app!

Just what you need.

I use the online site for calorie tracking. I was so happy to find the app. It makes tracking my daily meals, weight and water intake extremely easy. It has taken the place of nutrition apps. I am so pleased with it. It’s super easy to use. Of course on the backend the data collected helps the app (and Facebook from what I’ve noticed) recommend you products based on your choices. Honestly I feel the data is a fair exchange for all of the features of their app. And I find that I really like the food suggestions. Totally align with my tastes. Overall the apps adds great value for health nuts and those looking to become more conscious of their intake. 5 stars.

Lacks Weight Tracking

I used this app back in the late summer and loved it. It’s so easy to use and would track your weight loss progress in addition to calories and exercise. Now I’m using it again but I’m not able to enter or see my progress in terms of weight loss. There used to be a graph. It looks like that part of the app is grayed out now and not available. Total bummer. Looking for another app but seriously disappointed. 😔 After the Nutritionix folks reached out in regards to my previous review, it was discovered that most of my issues were “user error”. Lol. So now everything is working just like I wanted and I’m very happy. Love love love this app!

Fantastic Program

I have searched for several months for a program to track nutrition. Many of them fell short on one aspect or another: none of them had the full package until I found Nutritionix. And as a Bonus it syncs with your iWatch to track activity calories from one’s workout, has a place to record weight and water consumption, has nutrition metrics and chart, tracks your weight and graphs your results and allows to add foods with a barcode and add your own recipes……an incredible array of features……all this for no charge or hidden fees. Truly and OUTSTANDING application. A big congrats to the founders, developers and operators.

So many glitches lately

This has honestly been one of my favorite trackers to use until this week. There have been so many glitches lately it is extremely frustrating. I can’t access custom foods, if they do appear I can’t actually click on them to log them. All the prior tracking I’ve done has completely disappeared. I can randomly open the app to add what I’m eating for lunch, and all the prior food I logged during the day is just gone. I don’t know why all of a sudden it’s just impossible to use, but it’s super frustrating. I can be tracking throughout the day and every single time I go back in everything has disappeared. Then I have to try to remember exactly what I ate and what the weight was, etc.

Great app, but a little frustrating and inaccurate…

I would like to say that this is a great application for recording your diet. My Dietitian at this time it makes me use this app to record my diet. It is helpful when it comes to looking at overalls of what I eat for the day. It is frustrating because there are multiple recordings of the same food for the log used by this tracking system, so you never know which one to pick until you actually look at the nutrition facts label on your item. I know you should be doing that anyway, and that this app is to get a general idea of what you’re eating every day, but this would be nice if they would fix this issue. In addition, I wish there was a way to search by filter for specific food by so I can see every single day that I have a quart of that specific food and be able to modify it or delete it. Lastly, I think that the lab feature on the desktop website for this app allows for easier tracking, as it allows you to see the overalls for the entire month, instead of just by day.

Integration non-existant

Nutritionix has a very good database. It seems like it’s one of the few that imported the FDA database, which is much more reliable than a crowd-sourced database which is generally full of innaccuracies (looking at you, MyFitnessPal). However, it only offers 2 integrations; Healthkit and Fitbit, neither of which work. Update after update take place and after changing the integration settings, they also switch right back to being turned off. Healthkit doesn’t even register the app nor a request from the app to access data, like all apps MUST do. Something is fundamentally broken here and the developers seems to have no interest in fixing it. I would use Nutrtionix if I could actually use it in conjunction with the other apps I use to track fitness and nutrition, but since I can’t, I won’t, and it’s getting deleted.

Minor Fixes would make it perfect

I overall love this app. It’s very easy to use and very accurate, allowing for multiple units of measurement and tailoring of amounts. The only thing I wish I could see changed are your options when nutrition info isn’t completely accurate (which isn’t very often). While you can submit a problem with the nutrition values, in the meantime you’re stuck with what they have. The only way around is to build a custom item which can be a tad frustrating. If there was a way for you to do a temporary nutrition data override for your personal logging purpose and submit it to their database for review this app would be perfect.

When it works, I love it!

Too often, it refuses to add foods despite multiple attempts. Other times I will add a food, it doesn’t show up in my log, then I go out it again, and then two of them show up. It’s frustrating to try to have to enter something so many times. I have found that sometimes if I restart the app that might fix it. I’ve also tried adding a food without changing the default amount, and then changing the amount after it’s added. That sometimes works. Otherwise, I love the app when it is working I do wish I could zoom in on the pictures better and I wish you could see multiple pictures of something for example, front and the back of a package.
