5.0 out of 5 stars Carb Focused Tracking - Good Job
Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2015
I've been on a low carb eating plan for years. I've also been eating grain free and sugar free for the past two years. I have used fitday to track nutrition but it has become too comprehensive for my needs and experience level. Thats why I decided to try a carb focused tracking
app. I'm only on my second day but I can see this is going to be a
great aid.

I am older and do not consider myself all that tech savy. However, it was easy to learn and has easy options for favorites and for custom foods. I also like the vast array of common foods that even includes
organic choices. I also like the option to review meals and to edit custom foods. I had no trouble entering serving size equiv. to 1/8th cup as another reviewer cited. I used .125 and the fraction did the trick. I do wish the serving size and the type of serving (oz, cup, etc) would include a simple count option. I couldn't figure out how to enter one serving as one muffin. All it would take is oz. or cup, etc. There are some foods listed with a count quantity and others (like eggs) with no obvious way to enter, for instance, two scrambled eggs.

One other wish would be an ability to check multiple items on your favorites list then log them all to a particular meal at one time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beats Food Diary Premium
Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2023
I tried Food Diary Premium and Free and it had so many bugs despite the features -Carb Control despite having less features just worked and didn't get glitchy like the other which erased data and lost information and started affecting other apps. Carb Control has seriously helped me lose weight tracking Net Carbs and Fiber also. The only thing I wish Carb Control doesn't do that the other app did was subtract for workout such as a 300 cal workout weighs in when you do it several times a week and also have a way to transfer data when going to a new device. I haven't tested it but at least Carb Control came with its own library which is extensive enough to start over if my machine crashes and I start over. The other Food Diary doesn't have this working even though the claim was it did. Third picture is going from the details button on the main menu - let's you delete items from the days added-took me time to see that but once I found the button was right there the whole time.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Helpful Tool for Carb Counting
Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2019
This program is really helping me track my carbs and keeping me focused on staying under a certain number of carbs per day. The program lets me look up a wide range of foods from their pre-selected list. I can compute the carbs in my own recipes, divide by the number of servings, then enter that food under "custom foods" so I can go back to them in the future. Each day, I when I enter food, I can specify whether I ate it at breakfast, lunch, dinner or as a snack. The program automatically computes ned carbs after subtracting the fiber content. If you need to, this program lets you compute other items like: calories, sodium, protein, etc. I can also track my weight loss over time. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because there is no "help" button, so I had to spend some time poking around in the program to figure out how to use it, therefore not initially user friendly. But, with a little perseverance, I feel like I have a handle on it and I will continue using it.

I really like this app .I can look up food info in app or input into app from food package and input to my record and review my totals for each day. Better than I expected. No issues so far!

1.0 out of 5 stars Very Dissapointed
Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2012
Complicated and not worth the money. I want a simple app where I can just write down what I eat, carbs or no carbs, it will list it all along with how many carbs I've had that day. The food search is a mess. I had an egg today and "egg" wasn't even close to the 1st thing for the search. I did low carb a few years ago and carried around a small notebook, looks like I'll just have to do that again.

3.0 out of 5 stars On the whole, a good app
Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2016
App is easy to use for entering food items and seeing the carb count totals. On my kindle fire HD, I have a very difficult time of editing or deleting a food item from the log once it is entered. Therefore I have to be very careful entering food items in the first place or live with my mistakes! Looks like they need to fix some bugs in the app.

5.0 out of 5 stars I really want to like this app but...
Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2018
I had previously submitted a critical review of this app but I could not find anything else out there that I wanted to use.

This app makes it easy to compare my daily goal to my proposed menu. It can be frustrating to use sometimes but I did not find any thing better for the Fire and what was out there on Android & ISO did not meet my needs. So here I am again. I will try to be careful with my entries and think this through but it does what I want to do. It let's me make decisions and track my diet. It is not the easiest app to use but I get there.

2.0 out of 5 stars Potential to be a great App
Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2012
Overall, I am disappointed in this app. I have been using it for about three weeks, and it continually frustrates me. If only the developer would listen to feedback and correct the problems, it would be a 5 star app!

Pros:
* The app is easy to use, and the food database is extensive.
* It is feature rich, and good for tracking carbs and weight.

Cons:
* When searching the food database, there is no indication when the search is done. It either returns a list of foods, or nothing. A message that says - "Nothing found" would be very useful.
* The app tends to lockup quite often now when I try to log the foods I have eaten. When that happens, all the data is lost and I have to start over. This is very frustrating. It seems to happen the most when I change the quantity of the food I have eaten. For example, If I eat three eggs, I change the quantity of eggs to 3. But then I cannot log them - no error message, it just freezes. So now, I have to enter eggs three time, which is frustrating.

It would be nice if this app were to track both calories in and calories out - ie. when one exercises, it would be great to be able to enter than information as well.

I suggest you look at other apps for tracking carbs.
