User Reviews

Reviewers largely agree the app's carb-counting concept is useful, aided by visuals, and has helped some users with diabetes management and weight loss. However, the majority cite a weak, Europe-centric food database, missing common US foods, no barcode scanner, high price, and poor maintenance or stability (outdated updates, iOS issues, and crashes), which undermine overall usability.
Pros
  • Helps count carbs and track intake
  • Visual/picture-based portion guidance aids understanding
  • Aids diabetes management and has supported weight loss for some users
  • The idea is solid and potentially useful for carb-focused dieting
Cons
  • Limited food database with many common items missing
  • Not US-centric: Europe-focused data, metric measurements, few US foods
  • Expensive / overpriced for the feature set
  • Lacks barcode scanner and robust exercise logging (no duration/time entry)
  • Outdated/unstable maintenance: few updates, OS compatibility issues, and crashes

Incredibly overpriced. This appears to be an app designed for the UK and Europe. Most of the foods are things I have never heard of, the measurements are in grams, and it can’t find anything using the barcode. Save your money.
