Reviews for Cal AI - Food Calorie Tracker

No updates from devs in 6 weeks? lame. The fact that macros don't add up to the calories is a pretty big oversight. also, you can't add and remove specific ingredients either by AI or manually, wouldn't that be good training for AI? it's fun to give it a description of what you ate, but it's best to take pics of everything fresh you cook, and even better the nutrition label, which it is very good at, and then portion it for your day.

AI did a decent job recognizing some of my food - definitely harder if most of your meals are homemade, but still, not bad. Barcode features was the best. Hard to get overall picture of your macros and actually track them. Lots of bugs in the app. Can't track your fitness yet, which is unfortunate. I uninstalled the app after about two weeks. I wish I could get a refund for this purchase. Lesson learned!

The data it pulled was often wrong, and when I tried to fix it, it was such a pain. By the time I finished fixing the macros/calories to be sort of more accurate, I could have just searched the food myself in an app like MyFitnessPal. I understand that AI won't be completely accurate, but it was often very far off the mark. If you are just looking for a food journal to remember what you ate, then sure. But you can do that in a notes app for free.

This app has great potential....even subscribed for a month... But at $9.99..there needs to be better functionality. Yes the app will scan your food and does a decent job of measuring your calories. Unfortunately its maybe 70% 80% accurate which is fine, but I can't update the food on my android device, even though it gives me the option to do this. Also It isn't compatible with any workout devices so it can't include burnt calories from my workouts.. Which fitnesspal does for free.

It's incredibly poor design, when changing or trying to alter info it is buggy, displays different info than what you clicked on, and overall is a mess design wise. But it gets worse, the AI is not accurate in any way, when describing foods, taking a picture, even scanning the bar code it will mess up. Save your money. Get something else.

Garbage useless app trying to leverage AI. In reality the AI isn't practical and data input required, so it's just a form to input what you eat, for every meal. App allows like one week to cancel which then forces you to purchase one year. Google play did not cancel the subscription upon my request... paid for a year of this useless crapp. if an app requires credit card info up front to try it out, the business model is entirely robbing you of your money when you can't cancel. You've been warned

I like the concept, but it's a pricey app. I'm on day 2. I tried to delete something that I added and then decided not to eat. It wasn't super easy to find the way to delete it because the options menu is almost the same color as the background, and now that item has been in the "finalizing" stage for 45 minutes. It seems like Android users have lots of issues. I've already paid for a year, so hopefully the developer will be able to improve the functionality of this app.

I can see the potential but the app is not user-friendly. I was able to take a photo but obviously there was quite a bit wrong. For 9.99 a month, I have much higher expectations. I wish they'd start at 1.99 a month and then increase cost as the app improves. You can't change much, there's a LOT of mistakes it makes, and some of it isn't in English. There's not a tutorial either so you're spending a lot of time trying to navigate. I could see myself re-downloading in a year hoping improvements

"Fix Results" doesn't work at all. It's so buggy, when you make changes to macros it just stays the same OR freaks out and starts making weird calculations that dont make sense. I changed my preferences and it wouldnt take the save and still managed to screw everything up to the point I had to uninstall and reinstall with the changed health goals. I have the paid version on a Galaxy S25 Ultra. I would not recommend. 2 stars only because the scans are pretty decent, the rest is useless.

while I like the interface anytime I log a food it doesn't detect properly or doesn't log the fats in the food if I use the food database (for example, I put in a Costco cheese slice in, it gives the calories, but then leaves out the fats. even though it shows 14 g of sat fat and doesn't even show total fats but a pizza has plenty). I also tried logging my height for calorie goal and anytime I would try to log 5 10 it would default to 5 foot. there is something wrong with this app, need to fix!

I don't like to be negative, especially since this is a good idea and the inventor is an industrious young guy, but beware. It does not work. I could not get it to register the correct calories on items I know the calorie count, not even close. When I deleted my account during the free trial, it did not delete. They charged me for the entire year. I contested it and Google still would not give me a refund. I do not recommend risking this scenario.

I've been using this app for several weeks and find it's extremely inconsistent. one morning my oatmeal is 250 calories, a week later 700. You can't fix mistakes, for example yucca instead of jicama. Huge difference in nutritional values. Turkey is mistaken for fish. I'm paying for this app & am very disappointed. Here's hoping I can cancel my subscription without a huge hassle.

I like how it syncs to my fitness app. However, the app keeps glitching and does not allow me to add my meals randomly. So it's not much use of I can't even enter in my meals. When it does work, it will tell me I lost my streak, even when I've entered food. At this point, spend your $30 somewhere else :(

This app works. If you want to count calories and maybe protein and carbs. Most food within the food database does not include the fat content, and the auto-generated goals are horrible. I am 5'8'' 218 lbs, and it says to lose .7 lbs a week, I need to eat 1069 calories. Which is so much lower than how much I need to eat to lose that much weight. The food database does have a good bit of food in it and is mostly accurate with the calories. The AI scanner does work for the most part as well.

I think this app could be amazing. There are great features. I love the picture feature that analyzes your food but it's not exactly accurate and I haven't figured out how to change the ingredients; for example changing peanut butter to sunflower butter. I end up manually inputting what I eat so for me it's not worth me paying for. However if they fix the picture feature so you can edit the actual ingredients for a more accurate macros count, I would purchase a subscription.

Will update when fixed, but I am currently experiencing a problem where when I click the + icon, nothing happens, and I can't add my food. It's frustrating considering I'm paying for a subscription that doesn't even work for me. Other than this current problem, the app was fantastic, easy to use, and accurate. I'm hoping this will be fixed soon.

It describes itself as an app to easily track calories and take photos to estimate calories. Exactly what I want. It's not really this. It's a coaching app. On setup it's making me go through hoops. "What is your goal?" "What's stopping you from reaching your goals". My goals are on track, but thanks for assuming they're not? No option to say "nothing".

Not upfront about pricing. They only told me about pricing after I've entered all my info and created an account. Edit: Updating rating after using it during the trial period. The UI is very nice and food pictures look good on it. Unfortunately, calories are always undercounted. 60kcal estimate for 260kcal worth of grapes, meat estimated about 50% less calories than when weighed. I don't expect absolute accuracy, but it isn't very reliable even when all food is laid flat.

Seemed fine at first. The photo function never worked properly. Many foods were not in the system in any way. Cooking dinner for multiple people meant that I couldn't accurately enter just my calories and there was no options to indicate that I only consumed a portion of an entire meal. My final straw was entering a 600 calorie sandwich and watching my calories for the day drop from over 2100 to 955. If the gimmick is lying about my calories, then say that.

*Edit: Originally given 3 stars due to inaccuracies. I stopped using it for a few weeks, then recently decided to use it again since I paid for a subscription. The inaccuracies are still there, and I would say there's more bugs now with calories not changing after updating, or food edits don't stick. It's a bummer because when this app works it's really great! - Workout calories havent been very accurate.
