Foodnoms - Nutrition Tracker

I don’t rate a lot of apps, but I gotta shout out FoodNoms. I came to FoodNoms from a large, “friendly” food tracking app. There are many things that app does well, but I didn’t want to keep sharing all my data with them, and I really disliked the lack of support for automating my tracking. The Shortcuts support in FoodNoms is great and I can now easily track my common entries. (morning coffees anyone?) I’m also excited about the new community database of foods. The food database was not as big as my previous app, but it’s easy to add foods with the label scanner. Now that items can be added by the community, I’m sure the database will grow. The only problem is will it obviate the need to use the cool label scanner? I hope not! I’ve completely switched over to FoodNoms and couldn’t be happier. I’m sure you will be too!

I recently started a weight loss program. When I asked the coach if he could recommend an app for tracking calories he showed me “myfitnesspal” as the standard app. When he opened it there was a 20s loading screen, followed by a full screen video ad, then navigation to get to the calorie tracking. No thanks. I tried a bunch of different apps with similar problems. FoodNoms is the only calorie tracking app I could find that wasn’t annoying, and has a decent food database. And the tight integrations with iOS and the health app are better than I could find anywhere else. Thanks for making a well designed app that is a pleasure to use. Looking forward to further improvements to the food database.

Absolutely love this app. I was convinced to switch from Cronometer, and I have not looked back. The app is fast and very user friendly, and it just gets better with every update. I love being able to set ranges for my goals, and I can have cream or milk in my tea without breaking my fast as long as the entry is below 20 calories. Such a useful feature! The app's creator is also extremely responsive to any suggestions and requests. He has already implemented several changes and improvements requested by myself or my partner through the app's "Request a new feature" option. I cannot recommend this app highly enough!

This app is so beautiful. It matches all the iOS 13 native design which makes it feel right at home on my iOS device. It respects native dark mode which is also a plus. It has built in emailing for user feedback and bug reporting. I can set my calorie goal, track food intake, sync with HealthKit, sync with iCloud, scan nutrition labels (not just barcodes!!), and even set the times I normally eat my meals. That way when I track a food it auto adds it to the closest meal to that time. You can also add snack times, pre workout/post workout snack times, or remove a meal time altogether. I didn’t purchase premium but it looks like you can track intermittent fasting which is awesome. You can also have multiple goals with premium and do size estimations and track water and alcohol. I do struggle with size estimation since my meals at work at catered so this might be a reason I go premium. We shall see! Still have a lot to try since this is only day 1 of using the app, but I have to say that I’m impressed right off the bat!

This app has an absolutely beautiful, native and clean design. There’s no ads or social media junk to clutter up the UI. You have lots of control over setting up your individual goals and the auto intermittent fasting tracking is brilliant. Adding entries to your log is fast and easy but the food database really needs some work. It’s missing basic barcodes for a variety of foods and beverages. Some features are missing like copying foods to different days, creating custom plates/recipes by adding individual ingredients together and net carb macro tracking. Even with these flaws it’s still better than any other iOS food log app out there.
