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.
Reviews for Cal AI – Food Calorie Tracker
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!
