Reviews for BitePal: AI Calorie Tracker

Estimates seem kinda high, but that works fine for me. I would like to see more gamification, since that's what the app advertises. Also, please dear God never add a filter on the name that prevents the name "Dipshit" because that's the one thing that's keeping me engaged rn. TLDR: Please add more virtual pet stuff.

just started using it. it's super cute but i wasn't paying attention and my food got logged as snacks with no way to edit without deleting the meal and starting over which is very frustrating and discouraging. please make a way to edit meals into other catagories and I think being able to get items to customize your raccoon would be a really cute incentive to be consistent. other then that it's a good start.

I would like my money back. It takes far too long to get an accurate count of what I'm eating. There is a consistent discrepancy of calories, of at least 200 calories, when I enter my ingredients manually into another app. I have to edit each and every item when I use the picture mode, it doesn't like to accept the names or units for things (cups, oz, mL, g, etc), and it took me 6 times of going back to edit mode to make sure it was right because it double listed my ingredients. Back to MFP.

do not recommend. I wanted to track my fiber and protein. 2 weeks after purchasing they removed the fiber tracker and added fasting. there is no option to pick what you want to track. I asked for a refund since the feature I got it for is now gone and they refuse. that wasn't the only change that was made and it was drastic. the measurements are not accurate and it doesn't recognize foods even if you eat them every day.

Neat little app, I did subscribe when I first downloaded it. Once I fell off my diet I forgot about the subscription. When it posted again I emailed to have the subscription canceled, didnt even mention a refund at first, but during emailing I said "any chance of a refund" fully expecting to be told no. They gave it without a fight. Absolutely A+ customer service!

I wanted to love this. Went straight to Pro so I could use the full functionality. The AI massively overestimates the calories in it, even when I specified exactly what I had with brand name and all kinds of info (for example, a microwave meal by a big-name company). I had to start googling the package and then taking a screenshot of the label so I could put it in for lunch. Time-consuming and annoying. Maybe I'll give it another try in 6 months to see if it's gotten better.

It's a cute app and I like it a lot, but... You cannot connect it to fitness apps, you cannot manually log exercises to account for calorie burn, it's very generic and not specific when it comes to logging brands and restaurant dishes, and you cannot save recipes. Again, it's cute, and I use it, but it would be much better if it were more accurate. Also, maybe add a points system for eating healthy, and a store to buy items for your pet with those points!

There are two types of people who generally need to count calories, those who are overweight and wanting to lose it and those who are underweight and need to ensure proper caloric intake. This app COMPLETELY ignores the latter of the two. There doesn't appear to be a minimum age or height, but there is a minimum weight of 75lbs. Also, despite selecting the goal of weight gain, many of the tips and tricks are specifically geared towards losing weight & set up auto-adds fasting.

Really nice app. The calorie counter is inaccurate but still gives me a good health score of my food. Wish there was an option to add "fasting." I don't like raccoon disappearing after a day ot two of not eating. Review Update. Thank you for adding the fasting option. I really appreciate it. can you add other characters? Id be more motivated if I feed a chicken.

it's ok, it's very cute! in that regard I do wish there was more to do, like open more pets, unlock outfits and backgrounds, physically feed/clean the pet etc. but the calorie counting part is VERY basic, especially with the macros, I can input 3 very healthy balanced meals and still have a low food score, it doesn't seem (unless I'm doing it wrong) to differentiate good/bad fats/sugars/carbs and I haven't found a way to input exercise to add in my burned activity calories

I loved my judgy little raccoon for 3 weeks. It's a user-friendly app that was fun and motivating. Then yesterday it just stopped working saying there was a problem "on our end," the raccoon ran off after 8 hours and the "problem" persisted so it couldn't be brought back, while also losing my subscription, and they have not responded to my email. I want a refund. You dont get to keep a year's worth of premium for only 3 weeks of service.

It's a nice app and it's fairly accurate about the calorie amounts. The new update did remove the overall view of your amount of proteins, carbs, and fats, which used to be free. I'm not very happy about that but the subscription is fairly cheap compared to many other calorie tracking apps so that's not bad. I like that you can also track your water intake and do fasting for free, so if you're looking for a free version of a good calorie app, this is a great option!

It's advertised as a game. There's really no game components, the only thing the raccoon does is eat when you log a meal and look sad if you go a while without. And you can change the background if you're feeling wild. Calories aren't accurate, you can directly enter the calories though, so in order to do so I logged the meal on ANOTHER calorie counter app which was way better. Don't waste your time get a real app

a good stepping stone to food tracking. This is a very cute tracker, and it's better than not tracking at all, but it is not very accurate. Takes a lot of time to re enter the same meal that I eat every day with no way to save it. Can't look up different brands to adjust the info, so it's all estimates and generalized. If your intention is to get yourself into the habit of food tracking, this is a good place to start but the accuracy is not at all reliable. the nutrition advice is not accurate.

This is the first AI-based app for food tracking that is easy to use and pretty accurate. I like that you can edit the ingredients. Some things that would make this app absolutely amazing: the ability to edit the calories (sometimes I know the exact amount of calories of a food), a way to add weight or even workouts, and/or mood/hunger level. That would be great for emotional eaters for sure.

it won't let me input any food today and said to reload the app. I uninstalled and reinstalled and it still won't work and it forgot my subscription. as a general, low maintenance calorie tracker, it is kind of motivating. It's not always accurate, but easy to edit when it's off. I appreciate that it's low maintenance since that's all I can handle now. wish it still worked!

It's cute, but not super accurate. This isn't the worst, though, since you can just manually enter in food. My main problem? it's advertised as raising a virtual pet while tracking your intake, but I feel like there isn't enough virtual pet stuff to get me attached. I assume that attaching a virtual pet to this is a way to keep you motivated, but it's hard to get attached with how simple it is. adding stuff like petting, playing, or customizing your pet would help me to keep me motivated.

Loving it! It's been fantastic and I'm seeing a genuine change in the way I eat. It's not even a conscious effort either! Learned last wee that there are three types of protein. Literally never heard that before. Making dinner last night and subconsciously decided I should add beans to my chicken soup for multiple protein sources. I only wish I could unlock customizations for my raccoon as I made smart eating decisions/habits.

I have been using this app for 2 1/2 months now. Not only is it super inaccurate with calorie counting (even with weighed out measurements) but it will totally create poor relationships with food and disordered eating. there is no reason for the AI generated commentary about food choices. Even when the food is good, it will find ways to say it's not good option for a healthy and balanced lifestyle. especially if one day that food item is good but then the next day its bad. use with caution.

TBH, I wanted to really like this app. It looks so cute and fun to keep up with, but I could not figure out how to edit the calories. When I would describe my meal and edit to half of the portion, it gave me full meal calories. I could edit the macros and change the portion size, but it would not change the calories. I tried multiple times, and it kept giving me the wrong calories (I have counted calories before multiple times, so I have a basic understanding of calorie counting).
