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.
• "I'm new to all this" — A clean, beginner-friendly setup gets you tracking in minutes.

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!
Developer Response
Thanks for your feedback. Joy points are a percentage of your saved calories. They should be used once per week, so that the body does not go into energy-saving mode.Please click on the calendar on the top right of the "today" screen to adjust your entries for already completed days. If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact our friendly support team: support@abnehm-app.de
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 letting us know about your experience with Arise calorie counter. We appreciate your honesty and understand your frustration. Keeping our food database updated is important to us so it's great that you brought this to our attention, and we will be sharing your feedback with our developers. We will also be looking into the technical issue that you mentioned. This is usually solved by updating Arise as this restores connection with the server, but we do understand that it's inconvenient. Thank you once again for bringing this to our attention and we wish you the best.
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.
Developer Response
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the Arise calorie counter. We do apologize for the inconvenience of the missing data - at Arise, we only store users’ data on their individual phone apps, as this is the most effective way to protect data security. In addition, we’ve noted your feedback on the calories consumed. Because the "calorie deficit" is a very important part of weight loss, we focus on this rather than the amount of calories consumed in a day. This is because, as body weight changes, calorie needs also change, so consuming the same amount of calories may stop causing weight loss after a few months, when the body adapts to the new weight. However, your feedback is very valuable to us and we will be sharing it with our Developers. We hope this helps that that you achieve your fitness goals with us!
Disappointed

I wish I had realized that this app focuses on low fat instead of carbs. It’s very hard to add a food. I paid my subscription and I should have only done one month to try it. It’s not as easy to use as other apps. Now I’m stuck with this for a whole year, even though “you can cancel any time”. I want a refund. There is no way to communicate with them either. This was a big mistake!!! Note, I give this one star. It would not accept my review unless I gave it five stars!

We're sorry to hear that you've been disappointed by your experience with the Arise calorie counter. What you describe does sound frustrating and we're here to help. I've already checked with our Support team and seen that there is an answered query that matches the description in your review - if you wouldn't mind checking your Spam folder, it could be in there! We also understand that our users may have different ways of losing weight that suit them the best. Arise supports calorie counting without omitting any specific food groups, as this is seen to be effective in the long term without being restrictive - however, since Arise PRO tracks macros, many of our users who like to keep a higher protein/lower carb intake have seen success with us. We do hope that this was helpful as we want to offer our users a positive experience with us, and we wish you the best of luck with your fitness goals!
With this update we have made small optimizations and bug fixes to make using the app and your Arise journey even more enjoyable.
