Reviews for Lifesum: AI Calorie Counter

The app limits how much you can actually do with it. Anything you track that’s not a barcode is immediately saved as a favorite with no way to unfavorite so you have to delete it, you also can’t delete recipes. Both of those make ZERO sense. It makes very frustrating and difficult to navigate the […]

I just purchased premium so I could save meals thinking it would be easier. I hadn’t used it in a couple months. whatever layout update they made is terrible. Not nearly as user friendly and way harder to track items than it used to be. what happened to the 3 meals and then snacks. you […]

the free version is pretty decent compared to other apps. I like that I can scan barcodes or search to track food, I also like how it adjusts based on the exercise you do each day. a lot of features are locked 🙁 but the subscription is crazy expensive so idk if it would be […]

updated review: this has only gotten worse, it’s a total crapshoot of how much numbers will change each time you add food (even previous entries), which makes this completely unreliable even as a diary. I’m uninstalling, I’ve given this time to get better and it’s causing more frustration than it’s giving support.

I’m new to the app and I really wish there were different measurement options available instead of just “1 serving”, grams, and ounces. What is 1 serving? One cup? One box? A pallet?! lol it could literally be anything. I use grams as well but I don’t always have a scale on me, so, so […]

This app used to be quick and seamless since the addition of the new input options. Scanning doesn’t work on wifi and typing in entries takes forever. Also, theres a glitch where if you put in that you only had a 0.5 serving, sometimes it will still put that you had the full serving or […]

This app was really good when I started using it in January, but it seems to get worse every update. Recently, all of the calorie estimates are wrong, and the most recent update doesn’t even let you search for corrections. It just takes you back to the “multi-modal” tracking window with the same incorrect macros.

You can’t adjust your daily calories unless you pay for premium. That’s outrageous!! Advertisement showed photo uploads for food logging, but that also is nowhere to be found as a free feature, nor was it disclosed as a premium feature upfront before downloading and giving them my info. I’m not paying for bare minimum user […]

At first I loved this app but lately it’s been ridiculously inaccurate. It way overestimates calories often and I have to readjust the portion size to get the right calorie count. For ex, I logged a McDonald’s filet o fish which is 390 but the app logged it as 2250 calories. The water oz is […]

I have been using it for a few months now and the experience has been great with one exception – it started happening about a week ago where the barcode scanner accurately scans item and has the nutritional breakdown correct, but the values change completely once you hit track. These values are so off from […]

I really enjoyed this app until it went AI. now I’ll add something, close the app and come in and everything has changed. barcodes are constantly wrong. I manually input info and it’ll change it to. it’s basically impossible to keep this app tracking correctly. cancelled my membership I’ve been paying for 4 years and […]

*Update: Adding food by text has become very sporadic with a something went wrong message way too often* Mostly a good experience but the AI can frustratingly change things. I’ve been using the subscription service for almost 2 months. It has been working well for the most part. But the AI can change things. When […]

I don’t plan on canceling my subscription. I do regret buying a year’s service from them. Will I renew? It appears they get a lot of their caloric data using a dart board. I see many mistakes when I compare it to the package labeling. not big ones, but enough to be aggravating? They can’t […]

update: since last year this app is even more inaccurate. I cant believe it’s spent money to renew my subscription. I am done with this app. I found a free one that tells correct information. …………. I like the app however when scanning in food for Keto it’s very inaccurate and the options are limited. […]

A great idea… failed. Idk why I keep trying year after year. 80% of the food I eat have no entries or have inaccurate entries. And this is primarily why I started using it and really the only feature I like. It’s not worth $100+ a year and I feel robbed because I forget to […]

Just oddly glitchy. So many of the items come out just slightly wrong such that you always have to be comparing this app to other sources. It will sometimes arbitrarily change portions you add to seemingly random numbers that can seriously alter the amount of calories you think you’re consuming. Almost there, I think, but […]

Overall good app. I’ve been using it for almost a year. it’s definitely better than most. The water tracker is almost totally useless because you can’t manually put in your oz. The barcode scanner is occasionally pointless and I wish they could fix some of the complications with the quantity selections being so erratic. But […]

Horribly designed app, AI has ruined it. It can’t even take simple instructions, or read labels, or do basic math, even in the “premium” version. For example, I tell it the EXACT macros I ate, and that apparently is too much for its little AI pea brain, it will try to calculate far less than […]

This is my go-to macro tracker. It has NO annoying ads, even when you’re a cheapo like me and stick with the free version. The visuals are easy to understand and the interface easy to use. My one recommendation for using this is that you either scan barcodes or you double-check the app’s nutrition info […]

After using this app for a few months consistently, it will not stop popping up fullscreen ads to sign up for premium MULTIPLE times a day. It is mostly good but the ads have gotten annoying. I would not sign up for premium anyways because the app frequently has incorrect nutrition information for scanned products, […]
