MyPlate Calorie Tracker

A little buggy, but easy to use. Scanner doesn't always recognize bar code. I appreciate the reminders i.e. water or meals. Beware of the community within the app because they can sometimes be negative and know it alls, but mostly positive, so if you ask for their opinion or a question...good luck and do what's best for you. The other thing to keep in mind is that there many people with emotional issues within the comminity chat and use the site as therapy or a place for validation.

It's extremely frustrating not finding a branded food product in the database, and not being able to add it. It would be nice if customers could add their own user-defined foods easily. It used to be relatively easy, but is nearly impossible currently (12/9/19). It seems the solution to an overflow of user-defined foods has been to limit the customer's ability to define foods. It would be nice if there was an alternate solution to keep the database manageable. For example, the user-defined foods could only be available to the person who created them. This way customers can browse the verified food without being overwhelmed, and can still add local brands easily. I'm no app developer so I'm not sure of the practicality of this. Finally, thank you for listening to your customers and giving feedback on the reviews. Most reviews have replies and that's incredible. Thank you!

Best heart healthy sodium tracker I've found. Helps me keep Sodium down. I was recently told by my doctor I may have a heart condition which when I have too much sodium it throws off the electrical impulses in my heart and causes a irregular heartbeat. This app has made figuring out how much sodium I have had for the day possible. With all the different serving sizes on lables I honestly had no idea where to start. It's also really good for counting calories if you are into that sort of thing.

I really like this app. It is simple and easy to use. I would pay the money for this app, accept one thing is missing for me. It is a pain to look up food everytime. Having my own saved food list, especially when I look food up by barcode, would make it easier. Instead, I'm searching every time and only recent items pop up. When I'm on the go, it's annoying when I cant find it again unless I have the barcode. If this feature becomes available, I will purchase this app.

Absolutely love this app! Saw in some reviews that adding your own food wasn't user friendly, but that is not my experience. So long as you have your packaging, adding food is extremely easy! I also haven't had much trouble with the barscanner - sometimes the lighting is off so it won't read but then you just enter it in manually. Would absolutely recommend this for anyone trying to gain control of their weight, health, or simply their relationship with food. :)
