Contact Calory Support

I’ve been using this app for more than a year and there’s a lot I like about it. The Apple Watch app, widgets, counting of burned calories, and it’s simpler design than all the competitors who plaster their services with ads about fitness and the latest fad diets. For a while my only gripes were the small delay between opening the app and the calories burned syncing, and that the watch app doesn’t function standalone meaning sometimes meals won’t sync to the iPhone. HOWEVER after the last update things have gotten worse. There’s a solid delay anytime you add a meal through the iPhone and the existing calorie burn sync delay is now even longer or just doesn’t sync period. As a paying subscriber please fix these issues I would prefer not to have to get a new calorie counting service,

I love this app. It’s the only food tracking app that allows me to prioritize sodium in addition to my macros and calories. It’s widgets are top notch as well, and I love the way the little red balls fill up the screen when you go over. A perfect visual metaphor.

Minor frustration: when adding food to a given meal, if I select an item from my recent list, the item goes into the meal I last ate it with. For example, I click the plus sign on lunch to add a scoop of protein powder, and my recent food features the protein powder I had with dinner the night before. That scoop gets added to dinner despite me having clicked the add to lunch button.

Feature Request: the thing that would make this app absolutely indispensable to me would be the ability to pre load and then check off items. For example, in the morning I tend to pre plan my day, constructing a meal plan that fits perfectly to my macros. I’d love a little check box or something that let me keep track of which pieces of my meal
Plan I had consumed. It wouldn’t need to interact with the totals to be useful, those could be updated right away, it would just allow me to remember which snacks and such I had eaten. This is particularly useful with supplements where it can be hard to remember how many scoops of protein I’ve had in the day for example.

I like how the app has no ads and uses iCloud for syncing rather than forcing me to create an account and sending me spam emails like other apps. The interface is rather easy to use once you get used to it. I also like that there is an Apple Watch app and complication.

That said there are some things that could be improved. Firstly the Apple Watch complication seems to not consistently update when you add a food from your phone. This is rather frustrating since I would like to be able to look at my calorie count at a glance from my watch but I can’t really do this if the count is sometimes off.

The UI is definitely a lot better when you activate the journal view in the settings. This allows you to see what you’ve eaten so far in the day from the main screen like in most apps. This mode should probably be made the default since some people may not find the journal view in settings and the current default mode wastes a lot of screen real estate on an imprecise calorie progress indicator that looks like a jar of jelly beans.

Also, the developers should consider moving the UI to create new plates from the settings to its own screen since I don’t think it’s very intuitive to have it in settings. Custom plates are not really “settings” but a kind of user data.
