Reviews for Calorie Counter by Cronometer

I really like the functionality of this app. It has help me lose 20lbs. But a word of advice. Having ads pop up every time you click on something is not the way to get people to purchase your product. Limiting features and/or the occasional ad on the free version is completely acceptable. But making the app virtually unusable unless you buy it, is not the way to get customers.

Would be 5 stars, but the ads keep getting progressively more intrusive. They even block the buttons at the bottom of your screen now, making it difficult to close out the app, which seems a bit unreasonable. Kinda feels like I'm being bullied into paying for the app just to have control of my device, which I absolutely will not do. I won't test their Gold account because I won't pay for my phone to work. At this point, if the ads don't get better, I'll be finding an app that is less invasive.

I like many options on this free version of the app.I really like the barcode scan feature and the exercise trackers. I have been using the free version for about 3 weeks and getting used to how to use it with my food scale. However, recently the ADS have started popping up for 90 seconds and won't let me add my food when I open the app. It's kind of infuriating. The ads aren't even for health related items/services. They are mostly for stupid game apps.

I LOVE THIS APP! I use it to track what food my toddler eats to make sure he is getting all his vitamins and such. I love that I can create recipes, scan food and even save items to a favorites list. I just wish that I could somehow have multiple profiles. I'd love to do this for myself and add future children (just when they're little). I love this app so much, I'd even pay to have that feature.

I have had this for several years and it keeps getting better! The price, the features, the interface, lack of spelling issues, user manual (you get the jist). My concern: There is a lack of marketing and I wish more professionals would use it. I want more dieticians and nutritionists to know about it and use it. The search function is inconsistent: Sometimes it's perfect and sometimes it gives results that I haven't ever used, rather than showing the most frequently used foods.

Calories in, calories out. That's what Cronometer does well. It takes your physical information into account when you first provide your weight, age, height, how much weight you want to lose and such, then it provides a daily caloric intake target, tons of nutritional information and a date that you will reach your target. Entering food is made easier by the barcode scanning feature. You are also able to search for foods, or create you own dishes. Very helpful.

Frustrating. The paid version features have so many bugs in its calculation. The free version you don't notice the errors because you can't adjust anything. The idea of the program is fantastic, however as soon as you make any adjustments the program gets very confused. It cannot keep track of your goals and reverts back and forth from defaults to adjusted numbers. It also continually loses your water intake. I like the program a lot. I just wish they would debug the problems.

I'm moving away from a paid Fitbit sub and was hoping for a replacement. Unfortunately, while testing, the constant full-screen ads made me decide to throw Chronometer in the bin. The ads happen multiple times a day and you can't seem to get out of without closing the app itself. Nope, not having it. You lost a potential paying subscription because of them.

I really enjoy this app and go back and forth with a paid account. I think the one feature I wish it had was, when searching for a food in the database, it should list any previously logged food that matches the search at the top of the list. The fact that you basically can't search your own log history is kind of a hassle.

I am really loving this app. I really like the idea of the new AI feature. I think it would be great though if you could add items you have on hand from your fridge and pantry then you can ask the AI to generate suggestions from that. Also, the AI gives ingredients but not directions. Most of the time it looks like the suggestions are pretty easy to figure out but not always. It would be great if you could see a recipe.
