Calorie Counter by Cronometer 12+

Was loving it until *UPDATE!! It works again!!

NEW UPDATE: I ended up emailing the support staff about the issue I was having and one of their people was in constant contact with me until the developers were able to fix the issue. My Polar Fitness Band is now back to syncing with the app, and my activity data (i.e. calories burned) are showing up in the app again! I’m back to losing weight!! Thank you so much, Developers and Support Staff!!!

*********************************

The app all of a sudden stopped working with my Polar Fitness Band five days ago. Now, my activity data (i.e. calories burned) won’t sync with the app anymore. I’ve tried everything. I unlinked/re-linked my Polar Band with the app. I’ve logged out and back in after changing the settings. I uninstalled the app and reinstalled it. Now, any time I try to link my band with the app, I get an Error message, and the app gets stuck on a page that says “Connecting Device” with a little circle going round and round like it’s “loading.” To get out of that screen, I have to exit out of the app, and when I go back in to the “Connect Device” page, it says my Polar Band is linked- even though it’s not! Been dealing with the for 5 days now. Very frustrating. The app is only useful for me to guide as a weight loss tool if I know the correct amount of calories I am burning, and thus what a true 500 calorie deficit is, so that I can aim for a one pound a week loss. Please fix!! Otherwise, would be 5 stars!!

Gets nearly everything right, amazing app

I NEVER write reviews for apps but I’m enjoying this one so much I had to encourage others to get it. I used to use My fitness pal and it was clunky and unintuitive, and when they put the barcode scanner behind a paywall it was the nail in the coffin for me. I switched to Lifesum which isn’t a bad app but the calories and macros were sometimes inaccurate. I’ve been using this one for a couple weeks now and it is absolutely everything you need it to be and more. It has the barcode scanner, it shows recent foods logged and allows for custom meals so I don’t have to scan 13 ingredients every single day for the same meal I always eat. There is so much convenience and ease of use built into this app it makes counting calories enjoyable. Showing my vitamin intake, calories and macros all with a few swipes, showing the barcode scanner from the log food plus button instead of having to find it on the foods page, swiping foods to delete or the other way to get a nutritional summary, etc etc. And all these features are for FREE, with some good features offered with gold aswell. Whoever made this app knows exactly what they’re doing and I had to show some appreciation, awesome app which should become the new go to instead of the other garbage that’s more ad then app.

Perfect for my needs

This is the best macro tracking app that I’ve ever used and I’ve tried many of them.
I love the Energy and Macronutrient target bars, as they are very easy to read (nice color coding and I like that they are bars and not circular graphs). I was also able to manually enter my own Calorie/Macro targets which is great. Also, having the Micronutrient breakdown is a huge bonus. The last app that I used did not have this feature and it is so helpful to be able to visualize my vitamin and mineral consumption.
The search feature is amazing! The database is extremely large and I’ve had zero issues finding the foods that I’m looking for. I absolutely love the barcode scan feature.
The diary is great; Having it right below the targets is really convenient and easy to read. It allows you to scroll through past days or to drag/drop foods if you need to organize your entries.
Honestly, I could go on and on about all of the reasons why I love this app but what I love most is that it is simply a place where I can track my foods and it’s not full of a million unnecessary bells and whistles. This is an especially great app for those who are familiar with tracking macros and want something simple; but it is just as easy to use for someone who is just starting out. Thank you for this wonderful app, I am so glad to have found it!
