MyFitnessPal: Calorie Counter App Reviews

Great app overall, but the food search system needs improvement. Foods I’ve previously created sometimes don’t appear when I search for them after some time, which defeats the purpose of logging and creating custom foods. I end up having to recreate items even though the app says they already exist. Since this is a paid app, all custom foods should reliably stay accessible in the My Foods section. This issue really needs to be fixed.

This is my go to app for keeping track of my eating habits and intake

My husband and I started using MyFitnessPal one year ago . We were able to set our goals, how fast we wanted to lose weight. And track our calorie intake in order to achieve that goal. My husband has lost 45 pounds and I have lost 80. A lot of times it is recipes that we’ve always eaten at home. I entered them into the app. And we are able to track how many calories we are getting per serving. Cannot have achieved this weight loss without this app! It’s the best helper we’ve had in tra

This is such a great tool to measure your intake with ease. I am actually able to track my daily intake and stay on track. I have steadily lost weight in a slow and measurable safe pace thanks to this app.

So easy to use , I’ve been using for years. So nice to track everything. Love that it syncs to ,y I watch for activities, steps etc.

You can only view your recipes after you select the button to edit them. Can’t view them in any other capacity which is annoying.

I like this app but it was so much better when you could scan barcodes before needing a membership. I will not pay for a calorie counting app.

I have being using MyFitnessPal since 2013! It is a great tool and very complete app to lose weight if you are doing a low-calorie diet. It is pretty easy to use and if you are always broke, like me, you can use the free features. The free features are very complete but I love premium because it lets you scan barcodes, check for macros, etc. Those are really helpful when your time is limited or you are in a hurry.

My fitnesspal is helping me with my calorie deficit journey. I just started 2 week ago and I can say that myfitnesspal is my best friend. Thank you…

I’ve used my fitness pal on and off for the last couple of years and it’s definitely great if you’re trying to be more mindful of your caloric intake but with that being said, I know that a few years ago there was more features available that are now behind a paywall. Which I think is unfortunate. Because that’s what made the app so great. And now I have to pay extra to access features that I know were free once

Love the way the diary helps with weight loss

About 18 months ago the FOOD NOTES page on my Ipad app stopped appearing. It does appear on my Iphone when using the app Multiple communications for a year-and-a-half with customer service has failed to resolve the issue. I have been told multiple times that this problem is being addressed in a timely manner…18 months…NOTHING has been resolved. NOT GOOD!!!

It makes keep track of things and makes do them.

Been using this app to track my calorie intake for cutting season and it’s spot on. It made me realize how many calories I am truly taking in every meal, snack, or drink I consume. I wish it estimated how many calories you lose per strength exercises such as weight lifting, but overall it’s a great app!

Unless you pay you’re not able to access as much useful information as in the past. Still helpful but was better before

Interphase is simple and easy for log and track

Useful to help me make smart choices, log foods. Wish I could edit saved recipes

Easy to use. Great way to track my food intake and stay focused on my goal.

Extensive list of menu items to add to meal consumption

I weigh all my food and the weight option isn’t always available

I’ve had this app for years. Now they want $80/year for things you used to get for free.

I am Bariatric patient and I use this app to track my daily protein goals. Have used it for a year and a half and love it.

Helps to keep up with my calories, sodium and sugar intake which is important to me.

Daily use has helped me lose 25 pounds in the last 6 months.

I don’t like the new format.

The barcode scanner is horrendous. It’s worse than MacroFactor which has a portion of the database. For the subscription MFP is asking, this is a dealbreaker.

The best aspect of the app was the “scan barcode” feature. That feature was free for years. It’s sad to see that it’s now monetized, heftily at that.

I’ve just started using My Fitness Pal and really like the app. It’s easy to log foods and the label scan to find foods is amazing. I love the ‘Dashboard’ w/ Macros breakdown. I find I only use the ‘Dashboard’ and ‘Diary’ and don’t really get the ‘Newsfeed.’ I also have a tough time entering serving sizes - since I enter everything in grams, sometimes that’s not an option. It would be great to be able to type the number servings. Also, I’d love to see the app icon updated to ‘My Fitness Pal’ or

Endless list of great things to say about this app. If you’re serious about losing weight this is definitely worth using. The only thing thing i’ve seen so far, and it’s minor, is when you log a cardio exercise the keyboard will constantly move when deleting and entering in the calories you burned. Other than that this is 5/5

Now you have to pay for barcode scanner. Was free for years. Guess ringer to look for alternative.

I updated my app and now I can’t scan a food barcode without upgrading to the pay version. I have been using this app for a long time and if you are taking thing away to force me to buy premium, I will find another logging app.

Looking at the support threads it seems like the problems I have has existed for (5+) years. I upgraded to premium hoping I’d get a better experience, but still problematic. The syncing with my Apple health app and/or watch is hit or miss. I also sometimes get prompted to “turn on all” for my health app permissions, but they are all on already. Just a buggy app I guess. The main system of tracking calories works well though, so I will give if 3 stars.

I used to love this app. It was so simple and user friendly. Now it is unnecessarily complicated and I no longer enjoy using it.

I just had to write a review after the latest update. I used to look forward to using this app daily, but now it’s packed with stupid video ads after logging any food item. Absolute garbage. Now keeping an eye out for an alternative.

This app has helped me monitor what I eat, thanks to this app I eat healthier and have lost nearly 10 lbs and counting :) In future versions, I would like to be able to add a bar code number along with the the nutrient content of the food I add. I would also like the foods I bar code scan to be save automatically.

i’ve had this app for years for both healthy and unhealthy reasons. When trying to get in better control of my health (watch my sugar, eat more balanced) I downloaded this app again and signed up for premium trial hoping that maybe with premium I could just track nutrients. I think that’s what’s one of the things that stops this app from being really great. I’ll probably use it for the remainder of my trial but will be actively looking for a different app because I just want to track my protein

Please add a feature that lets you share recipes with friends through the app. Other than that this app is perfect!!

It said I had to be older than 18 and I have problems now when I’m 12 so how am I supposed to set it by my self and there’s no way I will ever use this app every again because of the set up process.

I’ve been on myfitnesspal since 2010; it’s a great app and as a long-time user I’m a little disappointed with the new updates that include pop up ads and a confusing UI. The new layout isn’t intuitive and makes navigation harder.

Great app for tracking and interfacing with other apps and devices. The downfall being the new adds that hijack the screen on occasion. May just be the thing that gets it deleted.

This app has helped me significantly through my fitness journey. I have lost 20 pounds due to the calorie tracker. What a great source to use and is highly recommended for people wanting to start bettering themselves. One update I would like to see it the option for Dark Mode on Apple devices. This may be a personal request, but the option would be nice.

Only issue I have is there isn’t enough meal options. Should be able to add meals. Not just breakfast lunch dinner snack option… meal 1,2,3etc

Easy to use love the reminders which really helps on busy days

I'm SOOO tired of all these damn "log breakfast" "reflect on breakfast" Messages!!! I'm FASTING!!! I don't want to be reminded about breakfast I want to just keep distracted so that I can finish my fasting time not have you remind me of the fact that I have not eaten since last night ON PURPOSE!!! I've done everything Grok told me to do to try to turn off the reminders, I entered into the app that I'm doing fasting... and it STILL wants to keep annoying me!!!

Used to be able to scan UPCs. Now that’s locked unless you pay for it.
