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.
Reviews for BitePal: AI Calorie Tracker
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
