For all MFP users looking for a better food tracker...
Dr Dirt Bike Joe
...FoodNoms is the tracker for you. My wife and I are long-time MyFitnessPal users. Over the last 6 yrs we have observed MFP diminish in functionality. (The removal of easy sharing of meal information with other MFP users and general app instability have been our biggest concerns with MFP.) FoodNoms addresses so many of the issues that my wife and I have encountered with MFP. It runs smoothly and reliably and offers the abillity to easily share foods, receipes, and complete meals with other FoodNoms users via iMessage & AirDrop. The interface is beautiful and intuitive and operates seamlessly, syncing through iCloud across iOS, iPadOS, WatchOS, and MacOS devices. It has strong privacy protections and demonstrates a respect and appreciation for its users which has felt lacking in MyFitnessPals offering for a while now. By the way, the annual subscription for the premium version of FoodNoms is much less expensive than the premium MFP annual subscription, and FoodNoms allows family sharing of the subscription where MFP does not. It integrates seamlessly with Apple Health. I am convinced that if Apple were to offer a native food-tracking app it would work exactly like FoodNoms. To the developer -- well done!! Thanks for putting so much thought and effort into FoodNoms!
The Absolute Best
joeyeatsfridays
I’ve been a Foodnoms user for a few years, having switched after trying some of the other big names. This app leaves them all in the dust. I’ve used this app to lose weight, gain weight, track water, track macros, and help me reach all kinds of health and fitness goals. It doesn’t intrude or get annoying, it just does its job beautifully and painlessly. Foodnoms is built natively by an indie developer, making it the best way to track and log calories, water, and more on any Apple device. From a design standpoint, there’s simply no competition. The user experience is clearly well considered, and the implementation of Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines is so good that you sometimes forget it’s not a first-party app. The clean integrations into Apple Health reinforce that. As someone who uses a smart scale and tracks their exercise with Apple Watch, Foodnoms is an integral part of the way I stay on top of my goals each and every day, and one of the most valuable parts of even owning a phone to me anymore.
App went downhill

This app was a solid 4/4.5 stars. It was the only app I could find that let me specify calorie and macro goals as a range instead of a specific number. Welp, they took that out. Now you’re always either over or under. They still allow you to specify a range, but it doesn’t do anything except display a faint checkmark next to “over” or “under.” Notably, there’s no feedback about how soon you’ll be in or out of the range, which was the whole point.Separately from that, the AI features are mixed. When it guesses, it’s invariably *way* off. It does a very good job of reading nutrition labels as long as you are very careful to make sure to crop out any reference to what the label is for. Because if it sees the name of the food near the label, it will ignore the label and make random stuff up based on the name of the food. Also, scans cannot be edited, so if it reports 36g of carbs instead of 38g, you’re out of luck. And it names everything scanned from a nutrition label as “Unknown Item” so you can forget building up a list of common foods.So of the two features that made this app special, they took one out and the other only half-works. I have an annual subscription but I’ve already set it not to renew.
Developer Response
Thank you for the candid feedback. I've noted all of it.On goal ranges: every goal card now measures against a single target, and that was deliberate based on years of customer feedback and support requests. I understand you aren't a fan of the new approach, but I have strong conviction the new pattern of always displaying values relative to a singular number is the right approach for the app. It introduces less cognitive load and works better for dense contexts, like widgets and Apple Watch complications.On Foodnoms AI: significant improvements are in testing now and should be available soon. One thing worth checking: a label scan should open an editable form before you save, where values can be corrected. If yours doesn't, email support@foodnoms.com and I'll sort it out.Ryan
Achingly close to good

I really want to like FoodNoms, but after a year on the paid plan, I'm letting my subscription lapse and moving to a competitor. FoodNoms has a lot going for it: native on all Apple platforms, data stored privately in iCloud, straightforward UI, and a sizable food database. I'm leaving for two reasons. First, sync is just broken for me — after I hit about 1,000 log entries, new ones don't show up everywhere. I tried a full iCloud data wipe, but that didn't fix it. Second, while I know logging what you eat will always be tedious, I'm frustrated by how much *unnecessary* tapping FoodNoms makes you do. For example, when you go to the add food screen, you have to tap into the serving count every time. The app could put the cursor in there automatically. Moreover, if you have a kitchen scale and measure food by weight, you have to change the units on each and every food entry. The app could offer a setting to make measuring by weight the default, but doesn't. These are just examples; there's others, and cumulatively, they add up to dozens of extra taps per day. The competitor I've left for has these basics worked out, and as a result, I'm able to log the same foods in about one third less time.
