1. [R1] MyFitnessPal 2/5 · US New update is terrible: The latest update no longer allows to copy and paste individual food items from the day before unless you’re willing to copy and paste everything from the meal. Super annoying to have the feature taken away. Also, the app still doesn’t track caffeine.
2. [R7] MyFitnessPal 2/5 · US No Longer Displays Previous Foods Logged: This app used to be great. I’ve been using it for years. However, recently, after they changed the interface, it no longer shows the most frequent foods so I have to search for the same food every time I want to log it. What used to take me a couple seconds, because I had built up a catalog of all the foods I eat regularly, now takes 10 times as long and t
3. [R9] MyFitnessPal 3/5 · US Bad update - early June: I’ve been using MyFitnessPal for about two years, but the recent layout changes have made the app difficult to use. The interface is no longer intuitive, and I find myself spending extra time just trying to log my meals, when I’m already unmotivated to log my calories. Because of this, I would no longer recommend the app to others. One major issue is how meals are display
4. [R10] MyFitnessPal 1/5 · US Undo this last update: I’ve been using this for over 10 years and the worst update I have ever seen in my life was whatever this last one was that doesn’t allow you to copy the entire days anymore, makes you have to toggle in between your diary and log screen (literally why), and makes entire thing so much more difficult to use. I am probably going to delete this app and try to find another becaus
5. [R4] MyFitnessPal 1/5 · US Requires money to show net carbs: Including dietary fiber in total carbs is misleading. The carb total shown is useless if it is not net carbs, for those who care about carbs.
6. [R13] MyFitnessPal 1/5 · US This App Used to Be Good: I was a loyal user of MFP for years. Ever since the barcode scanner stopped being free, the app went downhill. I just renewed premium for $79.99 on 7/4/2026 and the custom calorie and macro goals I have input now multiple times in the app and on the website will not save. Conveniently, the tech support part of the website thinks my username and password are wrong when I j
7. [R19] MyFitnessPal 1/5 · US Pay to scan!?: This is ridiculous, pay to scan labels!? Every app is free to scan except this one... it used to be free to scan. This is trash. That's so basic.
8. [R37] MyFitnessPal 1/5 · US Paid barcode scanner: Cringe that you turned an old feature into a paid one. Luckily there’s other apps out there where it’s free.
9. [R6] MyFitnessPal 3/5 · US Buggy: This app used to be amazing and still should be. Unfortunately, it’s become quite buggy lately and it has prevented me from logging on several occasions.
10. [R15] MyFitnessPal 3/5 · US Login Issues: The app is overall great. However, I was logged out of MFP and whenever I log back in, it kicks me back to the log in screen.
11. [R22] MyFitnessPal 1/5 · US Why have Usernames?: New update, New problems! Who the heck updated this so that it requires your email, but has it autofill your username in the text box for the email??? Changed my password twice because of this. Bad enough it had logged me out for no reason. This app is getting worse and worse. It makes me never want to upgrade to the premium version, and just count my calories on paper instead
12. [R25] MyFitnessPal 1/5 · US Forced login every time: App is suddenly making me log in every single time I use the app, 1/5 til it’s fixed ✌️😭
13. [R16] MyFitnessPal 1/5 · US Finally Done with this app: Downloaded MacroFactor instead to escape the incessant streak alert pop ups that MFP insists on hitting you with EVERY SINGLE GODDAMN DAY. People have been complaining about this feature for over a year in the MFP forum, I think it’s clear MFP doesn’t listen to complaints from the forum and those people complaining aren’t annoyed enough to just leave the app and give t
14. [R17] MyFitnessPal 4/5 · US Pop-ups: The food database is really good, and that’s why I keep using this app, but I’m constantly annoyed by the pop-ups that say things like “keep going!” when I log something. I think any form of pop-up on any app is annoying. 😩
15. [R20] MyFitnessPal 4/5 · US Overall great app: Mostly easy to use. I wish there was a way to customize the display of tracked nutrients, regardless of macro vs micro. For example, I don’t care about my fat intake since it’s already very low I. My diet, but I do care about fiber. I have to toggle 3-4 presses of buttons just to see fiber, carbs, protein. Another relatively recent annoyance is the constant “I’m committed” pop
16. [R21] MyFitnessPal 3/5 · US Your latest upgrade took away very important functionality: I am a type one diabetic and have to count carbohydrates every time I eat so I know how much insulin’s to take. You took this away with your latest upgrade. This makes me VERY unhappy!!
17. [R33] MyFitnessPal 3/5 · US Would like more: I wish it would let me log my cross fit training
18. [R52] Noom Weight Loss 5/5 · US Helping me make better choices: I always thought I ate healthy…organic, non GMO, mostly lean protein, lots of veggies and fresh fruit. OK, so I have a couple of indulgences: chips and a sweet tooth. But I couldn’t lose weight even by moderating my indulgences. Noom has taught me that my eating wasn’t nearly as healthy as I thought. By following their cues and using the food color guide, I’m making
19. [R58] Noom Weight Loss 5/5 · US It works !: I love this comprehensive way to track your weight progress and get healthy! It teaches you a lifestyle change and encourages motivation/ discipline. Very rewarding!
20. [R61] Noom Weight Loss 5/5 · US Support: Best support since the WW days, sitting in a church hall with neighbors about recipe substitutions and plateau busting.
21. [R64] Noom Weight Loss 5/5 · US Noom food tracking: I cannot believe how easy it is to log your meals. Take a pic, scan a bar code, verify all is good and poof done!!! Truly AMAZING!!
22. [R69] Lose It! 5/5 · US It just works: Listen. Do I love the name? No. But is it the easiest and best calorie tracker with the best library of foods and a quick / easy way to add new foods? Yes. Been using this app on and off again for years because it really just works. Every January to May it helps me lose 5-10 pounds because it makes logging food easy.
23. [R72] Lose It! 5/5 · US Love the Fitness and Gym time tracker: The interface is terrific. The food names, brands, restaurants, and fruit data make it easy to record your food diary.
24. [R74] Lose It! 5/5 · US Great weight loss tool: This app is amazing for helping with weight loss! Being able to track food intake and exercise so easily truly helps!
25. [R76] Lose It! 4/5 · US Great except for ads: I like the feature of being able to track exercise and food with a pretty large selection. However, at times descriptions not accurate. There is the ability to edit the data. Would like to be able to pull information directly from the Internet. Include all the nutritional features.
26. [R80] Cal AI 5/5 · US Teacher champ: This app is the best I lost 11 pounds in a few weeks
27. [R86] Cal AI 5/5 · US Best diet app ever: I used for a month and lost 3 pounds
28. [R89] Cal AI 4/5 · US Chat groups: The only issues I have is that they only have 4 group for chats. They need more specific groups to join. We have so many questions in the general groups that could be split into various group chats. PLEASE have the app developer create more groups or give us the control to do that. The other thing is notifications when someone leaves a reply to your comment or if you reply to someone
29. [R92] Cal AI 5/5 · US Best app: This app really works
30. [R94] Calorie Counter 5/5 · US A great help: I’ve lost 65 pounds using this app. I love that it sets my calories for me. It’s a great way to stay accountable for what I’m eating.
31. [R97] Calorie Counter 5/5 · US Simple and to the point: Not much to say it works well for tracking calories and macros.
32. [R103] Calorie Counter 5/5 · US Great calorie tracker: This is a great tracker to ensure you don't eat too much, or to make sure you're getting all your nutrients.
33. [R106] Calorie Counter 5/5 · US Tried a few, recommend this!: I have tried dozens of trackers, and this one’s my favourite. It takes fewer steps to track food, and the interface is excellent to work with. Also, their database is verified, which means there’s no duplication. I also love how seamlessly it integrates with apples health app. The photo analyzer works quick and accurate and the barcode scanner is the best I have exper
34. [R111] Cronometer 5/5 · US Love it!: I like that if I take a photo it tries really hard to identify all the elements of the food. Really handy for hamburgers or tacos ha. I lost 20lbs and 5% body fat over the space of 3months and now feel better than I ever have before. Really happy with this app!
35. [R114] Cronometer 5/5 · US This app feels more accurate for tracking calories: I’m a breastfeeding mom to my 2nd 2month old daughter and this app has given me confidence that I can lose weight without compromising my milk supply. I love that it can customize calorie and nutrient intake for breastfeeding moms, a feature I haven’t seen in other apps I used previously.
36. [R116] Cronometer 5/5 · US Great App: Easy to use and view the goals you need to meet for the day. Also adds ARE present but not annoying you constantly
37. [R118] Cronometer 4/5 · US Daily Necessity: Loving this app so far. Been focusing on my workouts and staying more active and building strength but always neglected any kind of food tracking. Decided to start taking that more seriously and this has been an absolute asset in that part of my journey. It really helps you see the impact of what you eat and helps you better understand what you’re putting in your body and how it t
38. [R65] Lose It! 1/5 · US Free version used to be good: Lose it was a great app until the company got greedy. They began taking all the features you could use for free for years and transitioning them to the paid only. The best feature was being able to scan barcodes. This is no longer an option for free users and it definitely takes the app from perfect to trash.
39. [R68] Lose It! 1/5 · US Used to be perfect: This app used to be exactly what some of us needed in an app. Now that the barcode scanner is only available on the paid version it gets a 1 star review.
