PlateLens: AI Calorie Counter

I really wanted to like Plate Lens and paid around $80 specifically for the “ease of tracking.” Unfortunately, I’ve had to constantly double-check or manually enter information. A 200-calorie bar scanned as 104 calories, while another food showed 220 instead of 130. Some products aren't in the database at all. Photo tracking doesn't let me adjust individual ingredients, only the entire meal. The app has also shown me at 87% of my calorie goal while the Coach said I was 680 calories over. I also entered dairy as a dietary restriction, yet the Coach recommended Greek yogurt. A 3-day trial wasn't enough time to discover these issues. When I requested a refund, it was denied and I was instead asked to extensively document the problems for their development team. There are great ideas here, but for someone seriously tracking calories/macros, I don't think it's reliable enough yet—especially at this price.

Still struggling to do the most basic of things. Significant issues with scanning barcodes. The AI fix/ edit will out right ignore your input 75% of the time. Most of the barcode scans that found the product, assumed I was consuming the entire package. Like an entire bottle of coffee creamer, or whole entire package of sliced cheese. Broken concept of servings even if you take a picture of the nutrition label. SMH.
