User Reviews

Carbs & Cals is valued for carb counting, diabetes management, a large food database, and a useful scanner, with an intuitive interface and responsive support. However, reviews repeatedly cite heavy subscription paywalls, high pricing, cross-device login/transfer problems, and unreliable barcode scanning. Additional drawbacks include gaps in the food database (missing restaurants) and intrusive promos. Overall, it’s a strong tool for paying users but accessibility and reliability issues limit its appeal for non-subscribers.

Pros

Helps track carb intake and manage diabetes
Large food database with many items and easy to add missing foods
Scanner/AI nutrition label scanning feature is useful
Intuitive interface and easy to use
Responsive support team

Cons

Subscription price and paywall are heavy and expensive; many features locked behind a subscription
Cross-device subscription transfer/login issues (e.g., moving to a new phone, can't cancel easily)
Barcode/QR scanning is slow and unreliable
Missing popular restaurants and gaps in the food database (e.g., calories burned feature not always available)
Annoying promotional pop-ups and frequent changes to suggestions
