Counting calories used to take 5 minutes. Now it takes 3 seconds: snap a photo, done. Over 10M downloads. Day 1 is easy. So is day 30. And this time you won't quit.
Losing weight starts with knowing what you eat — and Arise makes that effortless. Arise is a calorie counting and food tracking app for iPhone that helps you lose weight, eat healthier, and build habits that actually last. It fixes the reason most people quit tracking — it's slow, fiddly, and easy to forget — by letting you log any meal in seconds with an AI food scanner, a barcode scanner, or your voice. Set a weight-loss goal, see exactly how every meal fits your daily calories and macros, and stay on track with streaks, reminders, and clear progress charts until healthy eating feels automatic.
With over 10 million downloads and more than 184,000 App Store ratings — including over 125,000 five-star reviews — Arise is one of the most trusted calorie counters available. Rated 4.6 stars and available in 13 languages. Free to start, with an optional PRO upgrade.
WHAT ARISE HELPS YOU DO
• "I don't have time to log every meal" — Snap a photo and the AI food scanner estimates calories and portions in seconds.
• "I hate typing in every food" — Scan a barcode, take a picture, or just say what you ate. Logging is almost automatic.
• "Can I actually trust the calorie numbers?" — AI, barcode scanning, and a large verified food database keep your data reliable.
• "I can't work out a homemade meal" — Create and save your own recipes once, then log them in a single tap.
• "I keep forgetting to log my dinner" — Gentle reminders and daily streaks keep you consistent without nagging.
• "I always stop after a week" — Achievements, challenges, and rewards turn tracking into a habit you want to keep.
• "I feel out of control with snacking" — Logging brings back awareness, and small daily wins keep you going, even after a slip.
• "I'm tired of crash diets" — Set a realistic goal, even a target date, and Arise shows how much you can eat each day to get there steadily.
• "I've stopped losing weight" — Your food log and weight trend sit side by side, so you can spot what's going on.
• "I never know if a food is a good choice" — A simple green / orange / red traffic-light system shows a food's energy density at a glance.
• "I don't know the right macros" — Arise sets protein, carb, and fat targets for your goal, so you never have to guess.
• "I want to hit my protein goal" — Track protein, carbs, fat, and calories on one clear screen, every day.
• "Am I missing something in my diet?" — Track your protein and nutrient balance each day and catch the gaps early.

Following this app with the food that I eat in the calorie counters that also include protein and fat for a healthy body. I am 69 years old. In January, I weighed 160 pounds. I was not very happy. I was disgusted with myself when I looked in the mirror. I knew I had to change. So following the app and seeing the goals and being able to watch my weight daily I am now down 30 pounds. I am elated beyond measure! The diligence paid off. I did wanna quit several times. At home at home I had peer pressure for eating snacks over indulgence party party. I said no. The daily reminders from the app was a good source to keep me going. Thank you so much!
Grateful

I feel grateful for the support from this app. I normally don’t connect and motivate we’ll w digital devices, however, your app has motivated and encouraged me to get back on track!I do not understand the joy points and wish there was somewhere I cauldron find a better explanation of how those work.I also wish your site would allow me to plug in info on a given day after the fact. Sometimes I write food intake down in my planner and am unable to get it in the app in time. Thanks for what is working to help me reach my goal!

A little disappointed
Disheveledblonde
I was looking for a new calorie tracker and this one seemed great. It had good reviews and linked to some other apps I use. I went ahead and paid for a month of Pro so I could access more features. I found that simple items from Costco were not in their database. It seems to be more UK based. I double checked my settings to make sure I had English (USA) as my language as it said to do. I also tried to add an item and it kept saying “server error” after inputting everything which was frustrating because it didn’t save anything and took time to add. Also it offered to scan the nutrition label but then didn’t read it right at all. I wish I could get my money back. That’s another thing- they should have had a free trial so that if it didn’t work for me I would not be charged $8.99. Learned my lesson!

Thank you for choosing Arise and for connecting it with your other apps. We understand that not finding everyday products and seeing an error while adding a food were frustrating, especially right after upgrading. We are constantly updating our food database, and we will make sure to pass your feedback on to our developers. Thank you also for taking the time to add a food to our database yourself. To save new foods, Arise needs to be up to date and have a stable internet connection. Our barcode scanner has since been revamped for more speed and accuracy, and our nutrition label reader has been upgraded too, so new foods can now be added without any manual entry. We understand that you would have liked to try Arise PRO before paying. Arise's subscriptions start at 3 months, because new habits take time to build and the lifestyle changes needed for weight loss need time to take effect. If you have any other questions, our support team is happy to help at support@arise-app.com. We hope you'll give Arise another try in the future!
Thank you for the update (sarcastic)

Had to reinstall the app, all data gone now. Good that I am using it only for three days. But up to now disappointed, though purchased a year subscription. Why I cannot preview how many calories I consumed on previous days? Only shows if you exceeded or not your daily limit? I guess it is obvious that if you control your calories intake you want to know how many you consumed before???Updated! Overall quite good app, I would still prefer more user friendly stats as how many calories I consumed on previous days, and charts that are more easily readable, as currently it’s not informative for me.
