Stupid Simple Macro Tracker Reviews

I do really like StupidSimpleMacroTracker , it is super simple to use and affordable for a lifetime subscription, which I appreciated.

The biggest downside is that you can’t set your calorie/macros up by the day. I could imagine that many people using StupidSimpleMacroTracker change their intake daily like myself. It would be nice to have the ability to set a calendar to our intake cycles! That would make it sooo much easier to set up meal plans days in advance.

I absolutely love StupidSimpleMacroTracker! I’ve used it for almost 3 years and is it easy to use and makes tracking my food and keeping me honest on a keto diet so much easier. Unfortunately, over the last month or so it has definitely been having problems. Foods that I use frequently are not there and I have to go search for them to bring them up again. In addition, over the last week or two now almost all of my foods are showing up even though I have the settings set at 30 days to hide foods that have not been used. I was told that they were working on a fix for all of this but so far nothing has happened. I am hoping they can fix all of this so that it can go back to the way it was so that I only see the foods that I use regularly instead of having to scroll through multiple multiple foods to find what I want. I don’t want to give up StupidSimpleMacroTracker at all because I have so many food stored in it and I love the ease of it. Hopefully it will return to this.

The original version of StupidSimpleMacroTracker was excellent. Quickly loaded, easy to enter macros by just tapping the food, then hold it down to be more specific about portions. Maybe it wasn’t exact in its method, but StupidSimpleMacroTracker even says that most macro trackers are estimates. Idk why they made StupidSimpleMacroTracker sync to the cloud (slows loading StupidSimpleMacroTracker enough that I end up clicking out of it), changed the selection of a food to bring up the portion size (you could adjust this if you needed it, but most of the time I just needed about a single serving), then made the icons larger (makes for even more scrolling which is what I hated about other apps). They made it almost as tedious as every other app out there, I loved the simple macros idea but now it’s much less simple and much slower. Also, I bought the Pro version because I loved StupidSimpleMacroTracker so much but it’s now lost a lot of its utility.

StupidSimpleMacroTracker has everything I was looking for. It’s really versatile. Including tracking for weight, workouts, intermittent fasting, calories, carbs, fat, protein. You can look up food in StupidSimpleMacroTracker or add your own manually or via UPC scan. It was easy to jump in right away although taking advantage of all its features required a few days of exploration. That being said, customer support is very responsive. StupidSimpleMacroTracker recommends macros goals based on your profile or you can set your own. The greatest feature for me is that you can purchase StupidSimpleMacroTracker outright, without a subscription! I’m so tired of apps and software requiring a monthly fee! Thank you for this amazing tracking product :)

I have tried to track macros in the past and it’s always been a pain, until now. I’ve been using StupidSimpleMacroTracker for the past week and it’s been so easy to use. I had one issue and submitted a question through StupidSimpleMacroTracker which was answered literally in minutes, so plus one for great customer service. It’s also nice that they have a repository of foods that others have inputted so setting up the correct macros for each item is extremely easy. Conclusion, I loved StupidSimpleMacroTracker so much that I paid for lifetime full unlock and I don’t regret it a bit. I’ve only scratched the surface of StupidSimpleMacroTracker and I’m sure it has more to offer!!!

I tried as much free-ness as I could get out of every nutrition or macro tracker I could find, and StupidSimpleMacroTracker won me for on-going sustainable use. I wanted something easy to use and personalize for my Keto eating without additional investment. It does help if you take a little time to input your information or meals as you prep them when the info is handy. Then when you eat them, it’s just 2 clicks to record it. Scanning barcodes is a breeze and then you categorize where you want. Tracking daily weight progress and taking selfies or making additional notes on the day is easy, and then you see your progress visually.

I have used StupidSimpleMacroTracker for over 200 days. It’s been incredibly helpful keeping track of my macros so I can stay focused on my health goals. I tell everyone about the usefulness of tracking macros.

Lately, I’ve considered deleting it. I’m looking now at other similar apps. I’ve moved it to my library for now. It’s not syncing and bringing up my food grid since yesterday. I’m super frustrated!

I’m hoping someone reads this and looks into possible glitches. Maybe the latest iOS update has caused an issue. I have to turn my phone off and back on again to get StupidSimpleMacroTracker to open. It’s not feasible to continue using it like this but I’m reluctant to move on to a different app. All my custom foods are stored and so easy to access.

I hadn’t been counting my macros as I started my path to a healthier lifestyle because really, what the heck are macros anyway?!?! Found StupidSimpleMacroTracker, the name seemed to fit my mentality, so I downloaded it and in the first two days found it to be easy enough. I enjoy the pictures, I like that I can type in the search bar and match options to what I’m eating and tag favorites. The categories make it so easy. I did pay to upgrade bc I wanted to scan barcodes. I think it’s worth it because I think I’m worth the 10 bucks. Thanks for StupidSimpleMacroTracker. I recommended it to a few friends already.

The interface is good-looking, but there are no instructions or tutorials about how to use StupidSimpleMacroTracker , and it ISN’T self-evident. Also when you first install and open it,it brings up a LONG high-pressure sales video for something called “G-Plans”, allegedly a personalized coaching app for your diet. The video features a “special offer” for $39, allegedly 50% off the “regular” price. Not until you enter your credit card number and are on the brink of placing your order does it tell you that the price is $39 PER MONTH, not a one-time price for buying StupidSimpleMacroTracker in full. Pretty shady sales pitch.

I used the free version of StupidSimpleMacroTracker for a couple days and liked it, so I decided to buy the full version. It is definitely worth it. I like how easy it is, how you can scan barcodes and enter your own food. Plus it’s a one time charge! I ran into one glad glitch with how my daily percentages were being calculated and contacted the developer. They responded quickly and fixed the glitch! Amazing customer service response and excellent app. I would definitely recommend this for anyone tracking macros.

I absolutely love using StupidSimpleMacroTracker! The visual ease of tracking my food and summarizing my overall daily intake is keeping me on track! Choosing the right foods and staying within range couldn’t be easier. The little flashing reminders when a food choice will put me over my limit is extremely helpful, and has helped me rethink my food intake. No counting macros, keeping track of fat/protein/carbs or stressing over eating the rights foods, knocking me out of ketosis. Thank you for helping me achieve my goals and empowering me to stick to the plan.

There are many apps popping up out there, and to honest I actually started, stopped, started, stopped...because it took me awhile to learn how to use StupidSimpleMacroTracker. But once I figured it all out StupidSimpleMacroTracker quickly proves to be in the top three every time.

My only complaints:

1). There is a learning curve, they do give a tutorial but it could be better.

2). While this helps me track my carbs, fats, and proteins...I wish it would also track sodium and cholesterol.

3). Their food grid feature does provide a lot of options for quick logging, but eventually you will start using the favorites feature the most. And there really isn’t a good order to your additions. Even a simple alphabetical order would be very helpful. Also if you accidentally add the same thing twice, removing it a serious pain.

StupidSimpleMacroTracker is easy and teaches me portion control. I’m still learning. Just make yourself log in your food and success Will come. The first week I ate what I wanted but logged it. I learned that I needed more protein. Macros is teaching to be more aware of my food intake and too make better choices. I have been in several trips lately so it’s been tough eating the healthiest but that’s where the awareness comes in and I try to make better choices.
Thank you.

If you like to keep it simple and set your own macro goals you can simply just put them in (not have to literally search for food items that probably don’t even have the right macros). So easy to keep track of your daily macros and as you eat the macro bars will go down and let you know how much you have left of each macro. Also for each day you can add notes to look back on and your weight. Awesome.

This is a great app! I have been using it for several days now. Trying to get my macros right, and this makes it so easy. Lunch today was grilled cheese fried egg sandwich. I weighed the butter, scanned the barcode for the bread the cheese and the egg , presto all macros present and correct!

I seriously love StupidSimpleMacroTracker after four days of use. Knowing what you are eating is the first step and this takes away so much of the pain.

Cheap, and so worth it.

It’s good enough that I paid for the premium upgrade and I will continue to use it. The scanner is pretty cool when it works. Adding a custom food is pretty easy. I think more thought needs to be put into making the overall navigation more intuitive. Also, there’s too much clutter on the Logs and Grid pages (the most used pages unfortunately). I’d love to see them having the same clean look as the Progress page. StupidSimpleMacroTracker is an easy “5” when that happens.

Apparently StupidSimpleMacroTracker is set up to require that you buy the Pro version. It repeatedly brings up the prompt to buy the upgrade and then gives me no way out of the prompt that entirely fills the screen. You simply have two choices... buy the upgrade or close StupidSimpleMacroTracker , reopen StupidSimpleMacroTracker and repeat the entire frustrating cycle. The free version will not fully complete when adding foods. Extremely frustrating!!!!! It simply won’t work without the upgrade. I will never buy an upgrade when I believe the entire thing is set up as free in order to force me to spend money.

I love StupidSimpleMacroTracker, just like the name says stupid simple to use, makes tracking your macros a breeze. If you are eating whole foods you don’t need to look up brand names, fresh foods don’t come with labels! Just tap on the icon of the food you ate and you can adjust portion sizes up or down in small increments. Your results are displayed in a pie chart for a good visual of of your daily and overall results.

Highly inaccessible and inaccurate, with a poor design. With the large, bold letters and the cartoon images of food, StupidSimpleMacroTracker looks as though it’s marketed to six-year-olds. The calorie counts are completely off, and it’s too much of a hassle to try to change everything by hand—you have to click through the numbers, one calorie at a time. When I tried to search for “spinach” I kept getting a pop-up that blocked the search box, asking me to upgrade. The only positive thing about using StupidSimpleMacroTracker was the absolute pleasure and vindication I received from writing a NEGATIVE review.

I wish I could say I use StupidSimpleMacroTracker every day since i downloaded it. If I did I would have my macros and weight under control! But when I do decide to do something about it, this is my go to app. I like everything about it, but haven’t been able to find a widget. That would make StupidSimpleMacroTracker unbeatable.

I google the food values when I first set up and click on the most accurate choices for my permanent Icons. I love how I can title an icon and set portions from my favorite recipes. Now, it is a breeze to click my foods I eat. I like that I can preview a choice and if I shouldn’t eat it I can delete it. No more scrolling through endless food lists on diet websites. Before I got StupidSimpleMacroTracker I would ruin my diet because I would be too tired to look up everything I ate and lose track. Now it only takes a few minutes a day. I love how I can bank calories for the next day and it shows my overage if I went over. It keeps me from slipping. It teaches portion control and has a positive psychological effect. My desire to over consume is gone because I don’t like that overage staring at me the next day because it makes I harder on my own self. Easier just to stay within boundaries and I’m not hungry.

Only thing I wish it had was a trackable graph on blood pressure and blood sugar. I wish it was easier start and stop diets. Some times I skip dieting days on purpose but it calculates that as fasting and skews my actual number averages which I don’t like.

This is without a doubt my favorite macro tracker! They give you the ability to “quick add” carbs, fats, and protein for the cases you don’t have exact macros, or just want to keep it free and input it all yourself.

However I am running into one problem. It seems to me there is some sort of issue with what I input in a “my food” item and what gets tracked. For example, this morning I went to input my stores brand of Greek yogurt. I put all the correct nutritional information in and when I went to “eat it,” the macros were different. I put in 17 carbs, but when I would put it in to the system as food I ate, it would only count 2 carbs. That and sometimes the calories from quick adds, when added up from a food item, are different than what is on the nutritional info of the food item. Nothing crazy different, but sometimes it can be up to 40-50 calories in difference.

Overall, I still recommend StupidSimpleMacroTracker very much, but it would be super helpful if those issues were either fixed, or explained to me if it is me doing something wrong!

Best app ever for tracking macros. Takes a little time to learn how to use but it’s great. Only thing I want them to change is to clarify which quick buttons measure based off raw weight or cooked weight. I had to look up on cal king to see if the stats they were using for chicken breast were raw or cooked and they use cooked. If you guys could label that in the title of the button that would make it perfect

So I’ve been loving StupidSimpleMacroTracker but there’s one flaw I’ve come across. I decided to make my own home cooked meal and added up the values on the food nutrition labels of the ingredients and put them into the food tracker. When I was finished adding up all the values I thought I would be able to weigh out the food and put however many grams it weighed as the serving size. I thought it would give me an accurate measurement of the amount of protein, carbs, and fat but there’s no option for measurements under foods you’ve made? Could someone help me with this.

I have tried many calorie and fitness trackers and this one definitely takes the cake and tracks it too. I love the easy interface and simple reminders which make it quick and painless to use consistently. Under the hood it has all the advanced features you might need like reporting, progress update photos, custom foods, meal building/saving, formulas for weight goals, and integration to Apple Health. It also comes with bonus features to track intermittent fasting and exercise routines if that’s your thing.
