Review summary

Users praise BitePal for being easy to use, motivating, and fun thanks to the raccoon avatar, plus time-saving photo logging and reminders. However, the app suffers from reliability and value issues: AI-based food recognition is frequently inaccurate and hard to override, logging can require edits, and some items show incorrect macros. Billing and subscription problems are common, with reports of unexpected charges and difficulty obtaining refunds. Technical problems like crashes, freezes, and slow loading also appear. Missing features further frustrate users. Overall, it’s motivating but often unreliable and overpriced.

Pros

Easy to use and track calories/macros.
Photo-based logging saves time and provides quick feedback.
Motivating and fun thanks to the cute raccoon avatar, which helps consistency.
Reminders to eat and drink water aid regular tracking.
Supports weight loss and healthier eating habits for some users.

Cons

AI-based food recognition is frequently inaccurate and often requires manual edits, with no reliable override.
Billing and subscription issues, including high annual price and unexpected charges/refunds.
Technical issues: frequent crashes, errors, freezes, and slow loading.
Missing features: no exercise logging, limited fasting controls, and weak Health app sync.
Inconsistent accuracy and value compared with price.

2026-06-06	Mu*****	both me and my mom have this app. It’s great and I love it. The only downside is there is no option to friend someone, a cheat day option, or vacation option (because who’s counting calories on Vacation?) Other than that it’s an amazing app.

2026-06-05	ⓂⓄ*****	I like how you can still scan the calories on the stuff you eat for free without having to pay loads of money. I just started my diet today, but I think this app will make me go a long way with my journey to losing weight.

2026-06-05	TY*****	I’ve had this app for a few days now and it does not work! I can’t add information about my weight or goals, I can’t enter info about tracking meals and calories, nothing works! Save your money and try Noom or another app that works!

2026-06-05	🏝*****	I have had this app for a few months now! I like it! It helps me track my calories! But it is often wrong by ALOT when it comes to eyeballing how many calories is in something and I usually search it up and it says it’s hundred less on line or when I cook it myself I’ll look at the bag and it’ll say 200 a cup but then the robot Ai on ur app says it’s 750? Which doesn’t make since to me but it’s ok! I still really like the app and it helps me to not go over my calories! I would also say that unless you pay that is all the app will do! But when u take the test at the beginning it tells u how much protein and carbs to eat a day so just use that! That was nice of it to give me! Also maybe the app should include more things for free! But I would reccomend this app if ur trying to track calories!
