Cal AI - Calorie Tracker 4+

Firstly, the app does a great job for a lazy person who desires to keep track of their diet/surplus of calories. I would never advertise this for someone going on a diet as the accuracy of the log is like 80% which can be crucial when considering caloric deficits. Anyways, there is one major flaw that has been increasingly annoying, and has almost made me give up on using the app entirely. When you log a meal it eventually will state that the app "will notify you" when your food's macros are logged into the app. The reason why I say this is after I'm done taking a good picture of my food, notice it process, I exit the app and eat the food. However, on multiple occasions, after i finish my food I open the app again just to see that it logged and 50/50% of the time, it fails to log the food I just finished. This is extremely annoying considering it registered that I took the picture, said it was processing it, yet failed to actually log it. This flaw alone is a major issue and contradiction for the app being advertisement as "easy to use" bc it fails at its most notable feature...being easy to use lol. That being said, the app still does great at being good for lazy people, and I paid for the year, so I'm gonna use the year.

First off, I am enjoying this app. The price is reasonable and the tracking seems to be moderately accurate… however there is a few things I think should be added. Firstly, I would love to see more specific macros including sugar and more, not simply fats, proteins, carbs, and calories. I would love to be able to dive into the specifics of the app. Also, the weight tracking should include the decimal number. That would be better. If there could be a widget allowing us to shortcut to the app from a Lock Screen or something that would be cool as well, I.e. MyFitnessPal. Saved foods is a great addition and I’m sure logging workouts will be as well. One thing that would be REALLY nice would be if instead of just showing how much protein, for example, we have left it showed how much we have had for the day as well. I mean sure I can subtract goal from amount left or whatever but it would still be a nice addition.

That’s all I can think of now, and otherwise I really like the app and I’m sure it can improve in the near future.

This is a solid app. As far as my reasons for downloading it, counting my calories has always given me stress & as a college student I don’t have time in my day to sit down & track my food. (I barely have time to make my food if I’m being honest). I’ve gained some weight and I wanted to focus on calorie deficit with a high protein diet. This app is good because it tracks your macros & you can take pictures of your food & it gives you a pretty good estimate. I would say it’s fairly accurate, just make sure you get the whole dish in the picture. One thing that does bug me is I am a pretty active person & I don’t think my calories burned are considered into the calorie counter bar at the top. This is super important as I don’t want to be undereating. This is only my first day using it so I’ll see how tomorrow goes & decide if I want to continue with a subscription. This is a really good app concept that will help a lot of people & I think with some fine tuning from the app developers will really make this a great app
