Keto diet app－Low carb manager Reviews

by Tahhoe

On a recommendation from another Keto person, I downloaded KetodietappLowcarbmanager. Being brand new, the first day I was excited because I thought it was fairly easy to use & understand. Then I tried to scan. Wouldn’t scan. Ok. Moving on to Day 2 (which, btw, is today). I’m only up to lunch & again I tried to scan. Wouldn’t scan. (Oh, & I tried to scan something at the store yesterday as well. Guess what? Wouldn’t scan 😑). I’ve only had one successful scan out of about 4 attempts. Then as I’m trying to input food, all of a sudden I get a banner wanting me to upgrade. UPgrade. UPGRADE DAMMIT. but I don’t WANT to upgrade at this point in time. I’ve used KetodietappLowcarbmanager a whole day & thus far, haven’t been super impressed. But it won’t allow me to continue working with KetodietappLowcarbmanager , get buy-in from me & let me decide within a reasonable time that maybe I’d want to. So ya know what?? It’s getting the ol @# delete button at this point. You want to get pushy with me, that’s what you’re gonna get. And letting other keto people know which app NOT to waste their time with.

When I first downloaded KetodietappLowcarbmanager I was extremely happy with how close to my fitness pal it was with usability and putting in foods and tracking everything for you (Especially being new to the keto lifestyle) being able to scan things and once you put everything in tracking your macros for you. however as I’m using KetodietappLowcarbmanager today I’m finding that there’s a lot you can’t do without upgrading to pro and there’s no explanation as to what pro gives you without an explanation why am I going to pay money for an app that potential is not gonna give me everything necessary for it to be a useful app. I can’t add in all my food that I’ve had today which is ridiculous seeing as how I’ve only eaten three things and I’m not even close to my macro counts I’m very unhappy with KetodietappLowcarbmanager and thinking very strongly about deleting it unless something is fixed. I’ll stay on it a little bit longer but note to creators you’re going to start losing a lot of customers if things don’t change I’ve noticed this is what a lot of the reviews lately are becoming.

I was really excited when I first downloaded KetodietappLowcarbmanager because it seemed to be everything I was looking for. It has a great breakdown of calories, carbs, proteins and fats. But, KetodietappLowcarbmanager is too limiting on the keto diet. Every time you enter a food, you receive an ad telling you to upgrade to premium and you can only add 5 items a day. By the time dinner came around, I added my breakfast (eggs and bacon), lunch (smoothie) and snacks (nuts). I tried to create a recipe and I was unable to add my dinner. I came to the reviews to see if other users were having the same issue or if I was doing something wrong—it’s KetodietappLowcarbmanager . Without upgrading to pro, you cannot accurately input all of your daily intake. In reading the reviews, some users noted that “Carb Manager” is a much better app for keto diets. I downloaded it and transferred my food log for the day and it’s way better. It’s literally night and day. There’s much more ease when adding foods and creating recipes. There is no limit to how many foods you can log. I definitely recommend Carb Manager.

This is a great concept and a simple one, easy to use. But if you are trying to lose wait and every carb counts, KetodietappLowcarbmanager is NOT accurate at all. Alcohol sugars as well as dietary fiber should be subtracted from the total carb count in order to get the true carb amount consumed. This makes a huge difference when you are utilizing some of Atkins bars to keep you going throughout the day. It's also discouraging as it looks like you over consumed your daily allowable card intake. Not good for dieters. I wrote Support and they just said "we're working in it". I purchased a 3 month membership because the trial one is crap. If you are a variety eater it doesn't allow you to add a lot of foods. But even with a membership, the restaurants and food choices are limited. They should have launched this when they were more prepared. I do love the scan option, however. But overall, it's a great way to become hyper aware of what you place in your mouth. I lost 15 pounds putting my food into KetodietappLowcarbmanager but as it did not reflect acueste carb count, it was too much work to keep a separate journal. What's the point of having KetodietappLowcarbmanager then, right? Delete.

Was excited to see A different app to use with the KetoDiet, however, they limit your usage to only five entries before asking for money. I wanted a couple days to try this before switching from the one I’ve been using for the past year. This tells me they don’t have enough faith that their product would prove it’s worth enough to entice users to spend the money to upgrade. Anyone who does food tracking knows that five entries would even cover third of a day. I rarely read reviews before trying an app because I want to form my own impression. Your limited entries sent me straight to the review section to read the 2-3 star ratings only, to see how users really feel about KetodietappLowcarbmanager . Giving me, say, 50 entries would have prevented this and would have given me 3 days to see how it worked. It also would eliminate about 30% of the poor reviews it got.
Dear potential user - read the 2&3 star reviews to see what’s lacking, especially read developer responses. The responses alone will lead you to believe they don’t fully understand some of the intricacies of the Keto lifestyle. Most of the 5 star ratings sound like they haven’t tried other trackers or their reviews have been paid for.

Downloaded it not long ago and there are positives and negatives

Positives
1. Love how it gives you a visual representation of your goals, and how they change as you input information
2. Love the scanning tool
3. You can add water and activities/exercise
4. A subscription for a year is only $12

Negative
1. Trying to enter in my ingredients for breakfast and it stops you at the 5 item limit per day. As someone trying something out, that makes it very annoying and consider other products
2. I scanned one item and I already had to input it. I think instead of ME inputting it, if it’s not available we should be able to take a photo of the nutritional facts and developers or whoever type that in. People trying this out could type in whatever and it could be incorrect, thereby giving the wrong nutritional impression of certain items. Also, I don’t get paid when I do that so ya.
3. You have the ability to add activities such as exercises and walking, which is great, but the choices limited and strange. How can I not ad general walking, but you have walking while riding a horse? That’s a very specific thing to have listed, walking is much more popular than riding a horse. The only walking listed was at to many kcal. How do I know? I don’t have a activity tracker. Again, that’s your job to input not mine

This is so far the easiest keto app that I’ve tried (to be fair I have only 3 or 4 others, but I don’t have enough free time to do more). I really like the ability to break my food intake by meal. The macro break downs at the top of each day’s food intake and by meal are very helpful too. I like being able to scan foods, create foods and recipes, and save foods as favorites for easy access. KetodietappLowcarbmanager easily syncs with my Health App (Apple) and therefore tracks my exercise from my Apple Phone. I can also add exercise manually.

The less user friendly features are: you can attempt to edit foods when the nutrition labels are clearly off, but when you submit the edit, it disappears into the void and you never hear back. Customer support is nonexistent as far as I can tell. I’ve submitted several questions and received no response, ever. The help database is very basic. I cannot figure out how to change my activity level. I want to drop it down from lightly active to sedentary bc KetodietappLowcarbmanager is giving me too many calories for my metabolism, but there seems to be no way to do that. And finally, when I do a search, my favorite foods that include that word should come up first but rarely do. If these things are fixed I would be happy to change my rating to 5 stars.

I would suggest for developers to add option to correct meals within the day. Meaning, if I enter something for breakfast instead for lunch by mistake, there is no option to change the meal type but to delete it and add it again to the meal type. I would like to suggest adding up export option into excel format as well.
I am syncing my data with my iPhone health app. However the amounts of calories, nutrients doesn’t match on the health app with KetodietappLowcarbmanager. They are always over the correct amount.
Issues: The export into PDF file doesn’t work. It crashes KetodietappLowcarbmanager . Also there is no option to see your progress history of weight, and nutrition.
I hope that feedback would help the developers to fix these issues, and make KetodietappLowcarbmanager better. Overall I like it, and if you take my suggestions into account and add these options, that would be very beneficial for both sides.

I paid for the year because well it’s only $12 so not a big loss. I tried others and I feel all are just about the same but after the reviews for this one I though I might as get this one since it has good reviews. The only major complaint is the limits of the free version. Well I’m wishing I could get my money back at this point several days in and not one single barcode that I’ve scanned has been correct in KetodietappLowcarbmanager . Sometimes it even brings up random things not related to my scanned item or if it does bring it up it is entered incorrectly and but mostly it just says nothing found 🙄so the lack of food library items is irritating and the reason I don’t care for KetodietappLowcarbmanager. I have to manually put in every single thing I eat which is time consuming to say the least. It negates the entire reason I got KetodietappLowcarbmanager in the first place. KetodietappLowcarbmanager also does not let you add stuff just randomly you have to add to your meal for that day then delete the item. I wish you would add a tab to create a recipe without adding to the day. Fix those things and it would be worth the money.

I am enjoying my new keto lifestyle and having good results. I like KetodietappLowcarbmanager and it is an integral part of my day. However 80% if the branded items I scan or lookup are incorrect. I understand that food manufacturers update ingredients and adjust nutritional information but I feel that 80% is too high of a percentage of inaccuracy. I double check everything I scan/lookup. The barcode scanner does function well. I really like the new feature of saving favorites. I also like the meal creator and being able to edit the items.

I don’t understand all the negative reviews about KetodietappLowcarbmanager not being free. It’s clearly indicated in the description. I am a pro member and feel the price is very affordable for a year. I consider it an investment in myself.

A few suggestions:
-the interface between Apple health and KetodietappLowcarbmanager isn’t great in regards to adding items to your day. I might add/remove some foods to plan my macros and move things around but anytime you a food to KetodietappLowcarbmanager , it reports it to Apple health. If you remove and decide to add another food or amount, it also adds to Apple health this accumulating anything added to KetodietappLowcarbmanager even if it was deleted.

-weight tracker is confusing. Doesn’t track total weight lost from start date but tracks incremental loss from the last recorded date.

-I wish KetodietappLowcarbmanager didn’t open by default with the macros “exploded”. I find myself always minimizing them.

by JJ718

I have been using KetodietappLowcarbmanager for awhile now and I really like it. I think it is really helpful to see each of the macros for the day plus the percentage of calories so you know the breakdowns for each day and exactly how far away you are from hitting your goals. It is very simple to use and has great features, especially with the new added water tracker! The food database continues to get better and better and the food scanner works great. My only complaint is that KetodietappLowcarbmanager should be available for non-keto diet people. I don’t actually follow a keto diet, but like KetodietappLowcarbmanager so much that I still use it to track my macros! The advanced mode lets you manipulate your calories and macro percentages, but it won’t let you exceed 150g of carbs so this make KetodietappLowcarbmanager limited to carb controlled diets only. I think a version of KetodietappLowcarbmanager for regular macro tracking would be amazing if it was made!!

First let me say I’ve tried a few diet apps to track my carb intake, but since going Keto I wanted an app with more specific information - one that closely tracked my food intake AND let me know where I was food-wise (macros) at any given point in the day. KetodietappLowcarbmanager meets all my criteria and has a lot of other great bonus features. I almost NEVER pay for an app, but I don’t mind paying for this one - IT’S THAT GOOD! And since I started using it 3 weeks ago, I’ve lost 13 lbs. I attribute that in great part to KetodietappLowcarbmanager. I enter my meals BEFORE I eat and the macro circles show me where I am in consumption as it relates to that particular meal. At that point I can choose to eliminate part or all of a food before I eat it, if desired. It’s very motivating! All said, the only negative is that when you click on any of the individual macros (fat, proteins, carbs), the very, very light and tiny text (yellow, blue, green) below each food item is impossible to read. I need to use a magnifying glass! And if you go over a specific macro, I.e. protein, you want to identify your counts. Note to the developers: why not make the text black for the macro counts and leave the circles at the top in colors? Easy coding fix... Otherwise, I love it and it is definitely worth $1 per month if you are serious about a Keto lifestyle.

I’ve only used KetodietappLowcarbmanager for about a week and I do rely on it a lot. It has easy to use features. Clear information. And good graphics to understand where you are. Inputting information is easy, you either search or scan almost anything. And if it isn’t in the database, you can add it. This is where a little improvement could help. The nutritional input for added items needs to be expanded. It limits you to calories, fat, protein and carbs with no explanation or breakdown. I’m not sure if it’s to be this # for fat or not. Also, many don’t know how to calculate net carbs 100%. Id recommend expanding the input fields to help with calculation. KetodietappLowcarbmanager syncs with Apple health app where it imports information. Everything transfers with ease except the weight. I have an Apple compatible WiFi scale. The information makes it to Apple health. The first few days it made it to KetodietappLowcarbmanager, but has since stopped. I’ve synced, re-synced etc with no luck. My steps still transfer but not weight. So overall a good app. Just needs to get nutritional fact input expanded and the weight transfer to work.

First off, all the negative reviews because you have to pay to use KetodietappLowcarbmanager to its fullest extent are ridiculous! Companies need to make money too, just like you. Since when are you “entitled” to a FREE app that does it all?? They have to pay employees to create these apps inc updates, etc. 🤷🏼‍♀️... With that being said, I am concerned now about accuracy with KetodietappLowcarbmanager after sifting through so many comments. DEVELOPERS~ thank you for making such a great app and offering it to me at such an affordable price of $12 a year. Can you comment on accuracy of net carbs, etc. to ease my mind. I really love using KetodietappLowcarbmanager, but I want to make sure I’m staying within my macros at same time. Also, will there be an update in the future that allows for more flexible options on portion size such as oz, grams, cup, slice, etc on all the foods? I don’t always have a scale, like when I’m on the go. Other than that, your app is awesome!!

Been using KetodietappLowcarbmanager for a week. Current functionality is great and workflows are well designed. I haven’t noticed any bugs. I feel like MFP always made macro tracking harder than it needed to be and KetodietappLowcarbmanager does a better job. That said I think some features are missing to make this a five star app. One is a simple weight tracker. I currently switch back to MFP to do this and would prefer to do it all on one app. Another is tracking fiber intake. Tracking dietary fiber while on keto helps keep me regular and it’d be great if KetodietappLowcarbmanager helped with that. Lastly, since this is a keto app, it’d be cool if it also had a ketone level tracker. It may be tricky to get this right as it would probably need a different tracker for keto strips vs a blood ketone tester but tracking this would help me figure my individual levels at which my body goes into/out of ketosis through personal experimentation.

In repose to the developer: it’s unfortunate that you are unable to add a manual option. Not everyone follows the same macro profile. Some need less protein while others need more. Having a manual option is not impossible to do as other apps allow this; it’s just laziness in your part as a developer.

I needed a new app since the others I used were just too cumbersome or you had to pay for net carb calculations. I found KetodietappLowcarbmanager and I am glad that I did. Very simple to use, adding and removing foods is easy to do and the bonus of having a fasting timer makes KetodietappLowcarbmanager an all in one for me. I liked it enough to purchase a year of the Pro feature. My one and only request to make KetodietappLowcarbmanager a 5 star would be to have the ability to either manually enter your calories and macros separately without the lever affecting the other macros. Even better, typing in each macro into their respective box without affecting/adjusting the other macros would be awesome. Not a deal breaker but would be great to have. Other than that tiny adjustment, I think KetodietappLowcarbmanager is great and I’ll continue to use it. The widgets are super nice too.

I’m new to Keto and still learning. KetodietappLowcarbmanager is very user friendly & I instantly dropped 10 pounds. I really like all the features of KetodietappLowcarbmanager & I look forward to calculating my macros before I eat something. I like that it tracks water & deducts a few carbs for exercise. I’d love to see exercise options include professions that are physically active like food service, retail work, nursing, construction, etc. It would be fun & encouraging to those of us who are on our feet literally all day at work.

Ultimately, a suggestion for developers that would help is if we could deduct food items that we REMOVE from restaurant meals. Example: a certain “unwich” from a common sandwich chain typically has tomatoes. If I have them hold the tomatoes, I’d like to be able to deduct them from the total carb count for that “unwich”. Or, maybe it would be easier to see which ingredients ARE included in the carb count. Even just a quick list of ingredients, so we know what is being calculated, would help. Experienced Keto dieters probably don’t need this function, but it’s definitely something I’ve wished for several times over the past few weeks.

Overall, I think KetodietappLowcarbmanager is worth the money & I appreciate having it as a tool while I’m on this journey.

The UI is gorgeous, in fact better than MyFitnessPal! It moves so smoothly between screens and the font and colors and icons you guys went with are perfection. For those of you complaining about the free version being to restrictive and it’s unfair that the pro version isn’t free... have you ever made an app before? It’s INSANELY hard to do! It takes months sometimes years of completely draining your brain and energy and everything and pouring into it. They DESERVE to get paid for working as hard as they do! And an app of this caliber I can guarantee was a struggle to perfect! Would you do your 9-5 job for free out of the goodness of your heart for years and years? Heck no! So stop telling this amazing talented Devs to! Thank you guys for such a quality app! Keep up the good work!

I’ve used other food trackers in the past with different experiences. I moved to this particular app after my Dr put me on a Keto diet. KetodietappLowcarbmanager, despite being a specialized type of diet, far surpasses other mainstream trackers like MyPlate. The food database is ENORMOUS and easily searchable, you can even scan labels. Other cool options, you can make your own meals and then be able to eat them fractionally. Favorite lists and copying entire meals from one day to another are also excellent for ease of use.
KetodietappLowcarbmanager also integrates fully with the health app (and by extension the Apple Watch) so tracking exercise is a breeze.
I only had one support issue so far and the company rep got back to me within 12 hours and was quite polite. Turns out, the glitch was with the health app, not Keto app, and was fixed with a hard restart of the phone itself.
Best. Tracking app. Ever.

I’m new to carb counting and have impaired vision. I tried the other carb counter and could barely see it. I wish more developers would err on the side of caution and just make their apps dark with larger font so that even those without perfect vision can see it! I feel like KetodietappLowcarbmanager is definitely worth paying for. I paid for three months but will definitely be purchasing a yearly subscription. I enjoy KetodietappLowcarbmanager. It’s easy to use and helps break down macros in a way that is not intimidating. This is by far one of the best carb counters out there. My only wish is that the database were a little bit bigger and it have a place to track blood sugar and ketone levels for those who need it. Overall KetodietappLowcarbmanager creators/ developers did an amazing job with KetodietappLowcarbmanager. Thank you!! 💕💕💕

I’ve been using KetodietappLowcarbmanager for 5 days and I really love how comprehensive the search engine for food items is! I used a different Diet App for about a year and it was very glitchy and customer support was non-existent —even though I paid for it.
KETO isn’t super-intuitive, but it is straightforward and easier to understand once I read all instructions. I like how there is a Q&A section that clearly answers questions. I am not super tech-savvy, but I do try to learn as much as I can about each App I buy in order to get the most out of my purchases.
I’ve only recently began to use an Apple Watch (old version). I just realized that Keto does not currently have Apple Watch or iPad compatibility. Will this ever change? Also, how can I best get my daily activity (recorded on my watch) to sync with KetodietappLowcarbmanager? Thank you!
