User Reviews

Reviews consistently praise Carbon for its easy-to-use interface, AI coaching with weekly macro adjustments, and strong accountability that support weight loss and maintenance. Users value flexible tracking and cross-phase usability. However, recurring issues include data inaccuracies and barcode scanning reliability, pricing/trial/refund frustrations, and limited advanced customization compared with some competitors. Overall, Carbon is seen as a powerful macro-tracking and coaching tool with notable reliability and feature gaps that some users encounter.

Pros

Easy to use with a clean, intuitive interface.
AI coach with weekly macro adjustments keeps you on track.
Strong accountability and coaching support for weight loss and maintenance.
Flexible tracking including the ability to create your own foods and customize macros.
Effective across different diet phases (cutting, reverse dieting, maintenance) with robust macro management.

Cons

Inaccurate nutrition data and unreliable barcode/label scanning (data quality issues).
Pricing and trial/refund issues; unclear upfront costs and charges without a trial period.
Limited macro customization and goals (macro ceilings, single goal; lacks advanced inputs like body composition).
Perceived lack of advanced features or AI/logging compared with competitors (e.g., MacroFactor).

Recent reviews

I find it frustrating when I’m trying to adhere to recommendations about macros to and I can’t accurately record my food intake. Ex: golden kiwi with skin on, only option is a generic kiwi. Or cornmeal breaded catfish, only option is battered or baked catfish. If it’s adding 13 calories per week to my goals, I’d like that level of detailed accuracy in my food reporting but the options are there.

Carbon has helped me in maintaining my weight at the number I want. It’s also helped with a mini cut and mini bulk with the weight loss and weight gain feature. The app really works in letting you know the macros needed and adjust every week after the check ins.

Not worth the cost when compared to other apps. Check-ins and targets didn’t work for me (I am trying to gain weight). I am guessing that part of the problem is that it doesn’t account for activity. Also, there are a significant number of food data errors. For the price, these errors should not be in the app. A bit of data analytics would find some of them (e.g., foods that display more of a macro than the total weight of the item!).
