Features & Capabilities

One-off fee. Free updates. No ads/subscription/registration. Scan barcode. Sync w. other FLMC apps. Color-coded high-calcium foods, plants, prebiotics, probiotics, UPFs.

Use this app to avoid calcium deficiency, which is common if you are on a vegan, milk-free or weightloss diet or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Deficiency results in osteoporosis with weakened fracture-prone bones and loose teeth, impaired muscle function with muscle cramps and spasms, dry skin, and brittle hair and nails. In addition, women under 55 years of age who have a higher calcium intake have been found to have a lower risk of bowel cancer. Set your target daily calcium intake based on guidance provided in the app and your preferences for weights of food (g or oz) and display of calcium content in foods and beverages (ie, mg/serving, %target/serving, mg/100g, mg/1oz, %target/100g or %target/1oz). Record food and beverage consumption using the barcode scanner (please note that only manufacturers in the US are required to include calcium content in the nutrition label read by the scanner), dictation, search or by favoriting foods and using the serving sizes provided (which can be changed at any time). Tap the notepad to add notes. Monitor daily and long-term progress, export data to share with healthcare providers, synchronize data with other First Line Medical Communications Ltd nutrient counter apps, and share data with Apple's HealthKit. Add your own foods and recipes and change serving sizes to personalize the app's 400-item database for you. All food and beverage popups indicate whether the item is a plant, good prebiotic, probiotic or ultra-processed food (UPF) to inform a healthy diet and whether they are high or low FODMAP per serving where data are available to support people with irritable bowel syndrome. The app also provides nutritional information for many healthy foods and supports a healthy gut microbiome diet using color-coded type and icons.

User Reviews

Reviewers largely criticize the app for a limited, poorly updated database and unreliable barcode scanning, causing frequent manual data entry. The UI is described as clunky and not intuitive, with difficult adjustments to servings and questionable calculations. Readability issues (purple highlights) further hinder use. Some note improvements in scanning and responsive support, but overall the core tracking experience is unreliable, leading many users to seek alternatives or manual tracking.
Pros
  • Barcode scanning feature has been improved to be easier and more accurate.
  • Customer support responds quickly with clear instructions.
  • Ability to enter custom foods into the list.
Cons
  • Very limited and often outdated food database; many items are missing or poorly matched.
  • Barcode scanning is unreliable: many items don’t scan, brands are missing, and you often must manually adjust values.
  • The UI is clunky and not intuitive, with rigidity and difficulty adjusting serving sizes.
  • Calculations and tracking are buggy or cumbersome, requiring manual work and often producing inconsistent results.
  • Readability of high-calcium items is hindered by purple highlighting making text hard to read.

If I add or search for a food item I want to see HOW MANY mg Calcium are IN THAT item/ amount. NOT just percentages. It is too difficult to double-check percentages. Developers please take a look at Protein Pal App to see how a streamlined food app can work.

Despite the fact this tracker has an area where you can enter your own foods to the list when you click on them, there is no way to add them to your daily count. The daily counter is not easy to use. The list of calcium foods to choose from is very limited. This app needs a lot of work in order to be user-friendly.

I agree with another review that indicates this is a bit clunky to use. It feels very rigid; not allowing for easy changes in the amount of food you are trying to record. Also, one of the biggest issues is that the foods high in calcium are written in purple and are almost impossible to read. I don’t understand a developer not seeing this as problematic.
