Review summary

Users praise AI Calorie Counter for ease of use and convenient calorie logging, including meals out and custom recipes, with strong free features. However, many reviews cite a heavy paywall: basic functions like searching, logging, and photo/AI features require a premium subscription, plus aggressive trials and auto-renewals. Other concerns include inaccurate nutrition data, flaky AI recognition, and UI changes that reduced usefulness (weight history, health summary). Overall, the app remains useful but is heavily hampered by subscription prompts and restrictions on free usage.

Pros

Easy to use and convenient for quick calorie logging, including meals out and custom recipes.
Strong free features and perceived value relative to other apps.
Generally useful for daily calorie tracking and meal planning.

Cons

Core features locked behind a premium paywall: searching, logging, and photo/AI features require a subscription.
Aggressive subscription prompts, trials, and auto-renewals that feel exploitative.
Nutrition data inaccuracies and flaky AI image recognition.
UI changes and feature removals reduce usefulness (e.g., weight history, health summary).
Free usage restrictions and constant paywall interrupts the user experience.

2026-05-31	na*****	the app is great being able to quickly scan barcodes and everything lined up so simply is good. the only problem is currently all my food items in history i can search through but cant click on so every time i log something i have to scan the barcode again or find the right item and its really annoying. ive been using the app for months maybe even a year now and havent had many if any issues prior.

2026-05-23	Ss*****	I’ve been using this app for over a year and it has a lot of potential, but it’s currently held back by several frustrating bugs and poor design decisions that make daily use much more annoying than it needs to be. Major Issues: • History & Search is broken: The recent items/history shows random old entries from over a year ago instead of prioritizing what I actually use. The search function doesn’t update live — you have to hit enter every time. Results appear in seemingly random order with no logic based on frequency of use. For example, I eat the same Costco salmon snack almost every weekday, yet it’s never near the top and I have to dig through the list every single time. • Frequent freezing in menus: When navigating multiple levels deep (especially when editing custom foods or meals), the app regularly freezes and stops responding to any input. The only fix is to force-close and restart the app, which means losing whatever information you were entering. This happens way too often. • Custom meals are poorly handled: When you create a custom meal (like a 32-ingredient smoothie), it saves everything as individual line items instead of keeping them grouped as one meal. If you accidentally assign it to the wrong meal time, you have to swipe and delete every single ingredient manually. This feels like a basic design oversight. • Dangerous Health app integration: By default, the app pulls activity data from Apple Health and automatically adds calories back to your daily total based on estimated burn. This is wildly inaccurate and actively harmful for people in a calorie deficit trying to lose weight. It should be opt-in with much clearer warnings, or at minimum not override your set goals so aggressively. • Recent macro duplication bug: Multiple meals, including long-standing custom items I use daily, are suddenly showing 2–3x their normal macros. A smoothie that’s been ~800 calories for over a year is now showing up as 2,700+ calories. This is a serious regression that makes the app unreliable for tracking. Overall, the app feels like it lacks proper QA and testing. Many of these issues (especially the history/search problems and freezing) have persisted for a long time. The core idea is good, but the execution makes it unreliable and frustrating for daily use. I’d love to give it a higher rating if the team focuses on stability, smart defaults, and fixing these core usability problems.
