Keto diet app－Low carb manager 17+

LOVE this app! Great tool for Keto

The app was recently updated to calculate sugar alcohol and dietary fiber in order to get a true net carb count. This was the ONLY this that this app needed. I love everything about this app. I can scan a barcode in for nutritional info (if it isn’t in there already). It even has restaurant food (ie Chic fil A sandwich or Panera soup) It breaks your day down by meal or by carb count, calorie count, etc (however you’d like it to break down). You can easily copy from one day to the next if you eat the same thing frequently. If you’re even thinking of eating a food you can see how it will affect your macros for the day and it won’t save it unless you tell it to. So you can change your mind if it’s going to put you over your limits! It’s great. It even keeps track of my water intake (which really makes you conscious of how much you’re drinking). Now I see that I can create a grocery list based off of my favorited foods. I haven’t tried that yet, but I plan on it now that I know it’s there. I used the free version for about a month then I upgraded to the PRO. It has way more features. Just spend the $12 or whatever it was. It was very inexpensive for something that I rely on every day to keep me in check. You won’t be disappointed!! I only wish it was compatible with my iPad. I tried to install it today and it said it couldn’t. Hopefully that will come in the near future.

Thank you for such a detailed review! :)
We'll try to add iPad support in further updates

Good app, next level suggestion

I’m new to Keto and still learning. This app is very user friendly & I instantly dropped 10 pounds. I really like all the features of this app & I look forward to calculating my macros before I eat something. I like that it tracks water & deducts a few carbs for exercise. I’d love to see exercise options include professions that are physically active like food service, retail work, nursing, construction, etc. It would be fun & encouraging to those of us who are on our feet literally all day at work.

Ultimately, a suggestion for developers that would help is if we could deduct food items that we REMOVE from restaurant meals. Example: a certain “unwich” from a common sandwich chain typically has tomatoes. If I have them hold the tomatoes, I’d like to be able to deduct them from the total carb count for that “unwich”. Or, maybe it would be easier to see which ingredients ARE included in the carb count. Even just a quick list of ingredients, so we know what is being calculated, would help. Experienced Keto dieters probably don’t need this function, but it’s definitely something I’ve wished for several times over the past few weeks.

Overall, I think this app is worth the money & I appreciate having it as a tool while I’m on this journey.

Decent app if you can live with the bugs

I started using this app a few weeks ago and bought the annual subscription based on the excellent reviews. I was new to keto and I have gotten a lot out of this app. The app concept of tracking food with a large food database and advice is great. However, I was not aware of the issues with the tracking and at first got a little frustrated. Now that I know what to look for (at least what I’ve observed so far) I can live with the issues and still find the app handy to use. For me, the issues are 1) food I add sometimes disappears (literally in front of my eyes sometimes - it’s there in my tracker and then gone), 2) when I go to re-enter the item I sometimes look back later and it will be there twice. Like the first entry was hiding in the background 3) largest issue for me is scanning a label and then choosing a reduced amount of the food. Something is wrong with the translation of 1/4 cup to 2 tablespoons (or even if you enter as a decimal). 4 tbsp in a 1/4c but the app is calculating a much smaller portion - I feel like it may be basing it on a serving = a cup and not 1/4. Not sure. In any event, now that I know to look for this I just enter the food manually and it’s all good. Overall I like the app but I wish I had read more recent reviews to know to pay attention more because it’s quirky.
