Review summary

Macro Sync is praised for free, ad-free basic tracking and a user-friendly interface, plus strong manual-entry customization and watch integration with motivational badges. However, multiple reviews highlight recurring reliability issues: inconsistent automatic calorie adjustments, unreliable barcode data, buggy food search, disappearing favorites, and occasional crashes or syncing problems that hurt long-term usability.

Pros

Free basic tracking with no subscription or intrusive ads
Easy to use and intuitive for logging calories and macros
Strong support for manual/custom food entries and recipes
Cross-device support including Apple Watch syncing
Motivational features such as badges/achievement board

Cons

Calorie/macro counts often change automatically or are inaccurate
Barcode scanning data is unreliable or often not found/addable
Food search is buggy, sometimes returning no results or showing errors
Favorite foods disappear or get deleted, requiring re-adding
App crashes and data syncing issues affect reliability

2026-02-21	Go*****	I’ll keep it simple. Do you want to easily track your calories and macros? Do you not want to pay for the privilege? Download this app. It has all the basic tools you need. Enter your goals, scan your food, keep an eye on your calorie intake, macro balance, fiber and sodium levels for FREE. No subscription, no intrusive ads, no popups when you use the app. It’s a blessing. I was at my wits end with the popular meal diary apps, so much so I was about to swap back to pen and paper like it was 1850, but two dozen blind downloads and app deletions later, I found Macro Sync. Thank you Macros Inc, your app is exactly the streamlined, feature rich, easy to use food diary app I’ve been searching for years to find. I know this sounds like a paid review, but I assure you, it’s just a really good app. Download it and give it a try, your account will be ready to go in less time than it took you to read this review. I promise you won’t regret it.

2026-02-15	Oc*****	It would be nice if the ‘My Foods’ tab when logging and adding meals was the default tab that showed first instead of ‘All’. I know it doesn’t seem like much, but I’m usually creating my own food entries and have them saved under My Foods, so it would be nice if it could be quick to log foods from My Foods instead of having to click out of the ‘All’ filter every time I want to log food. It would make logging food less tedious. That’s my only complaint about the app functionality. Perhaps make it an option in the settings? The Lose It app has My Foods filter automatically show first when logging food which makes it easy to track.

2026-02-03	Tr*****	I love using the app, but every few weeks, a bunch of my foods get deleted out of my favorites. I eat the same food often, so the regulars get favorited. I have had to re-add food to my favorites 3 times now.

2026-01-07	Ru*****	This app helped me loose weight and keep it off, even in middle age! A true macro calculator where you enter carbs, fat and protein and it calculates calories. You can also add more nutritional info if desired. Super accurate and prevents the over estimation the labels sometimes give. Easy to navigate but they want you to manually add your own ingredients, which is tedious but is what helps you be accurate and not over-eat by logging incorrectly. Easily synced with my Apple Watch so I could track steps. Can add weigh-in info. Only caveat: I entered my weight wrong and couldn’t edit.

2025-10-26	Pr*****	Good tracker, but the last changes on the dashboards was a disaster, terrible for track progress now

2025-10-07	sa*****	This is the best tracker out there, almost :/. Especially for people who just want to track and don’t want all the frills in their face. The only drawn back is that so many of the calorie counts are so far off. It is so frustrating. I by far want to stick with and only use this app but the calorie counts are off on so many items that is isn’t trustworthy enough to stick with it. If there was some quality control on the calorie counts I would never leave.

2025-09-29	Ut*****	Probably far more powerful than I needed, but too confusing to use at the end of the day. Plus I had several problems getting the macros correct, even when I turn off the auto calc of macros and enter them myself, after entering servings the macros would be slightly off as if still trying to outsmart me. And then there are the phantom food entries - just this morning two servings of apples showed up on my diary without me adding them in. Can’t figure out how to delete a diary entry, so ended up just putting the serving sizes at 0 to cancel out the macros. Really wanted the flexibility of an app like this, but just too much work and inconsistency to make it a daily tracker.

2025-09-26	Te*****	I want to go back to using this app, but until you add the ability to share recipes with others, I need to stick to MM+.

2025-09-14	Ja*****	Insanely annoying how the app decides the info I’m adding off of the label is wrong, and makes adjustments based upon who knows what. I’ve set it to avoid automatically adjusting my info, but even trivial things like potassium will go up for zero discernible reason. This app is more annoying than helpful.
