I really like it has been a big help, just don't like how much I looked behind the paywall
Developer response
We understand the frustration with some features being behind a paywall, but we designed the app to be a fully functional nutrition tracker in the free version. We genuinely believe everyone deserves access to tools that help them improve their health, and we'll never hide essential nutrition information behind a paywall unlike other apps.
Cronometer helps me keep track of nutrient levels and gives me a ballpark to stay within. It is difficult when you tend to eat homemade stuff, but it is a good estimate.
Developer response
Thanks for the great review! If you're logging home made meals, I suggest using our most comprehensive database - the NCCDB. Most whole foods can be found in that database. You also might be interested in this blog https://cronometer.com/blog/log-food-fast/ which has some tips and tricks for logging food fast! Hope this helps and happy tracking!
All around awsome with the exception of the too frequent adds.
Developer response
Thanks for the awesome review! Sorry for the inconvenience about the ads. Regular ads in the free version are expected, as they allow us to continue to offer a free service to users. However if you'd like a free trial of Gold to remove ads (and test out our other Gold features!) please write in to [email protected] and we can set that up.
I wish there were less ads, but I suppose that's what keeps it free
Developer response
Thanks for your review! Yes, ads allow us to continue to offer a free service to users. Thank you for your understanding. However, you can receive personalized ads by going to: More > Account > Privacy > I agree to receive personalized in-app ads. This should remove the chance of receiving unwanted ads generated by Google.
loads of comprehensive nutrition data. The Photo Log is fun to use and surprisingly intelligent in its ability to identify ingredients.
Developer response
Thanks for sharing! We’re glad you’re enjoying the detailed nutrition data and that Photo Logging has been helpful. Appreciate your support 🧡
very nice app! love everything it offers for free, though (and understandably) a decent portion of the features are pay walled. just started using tho for the bulk and am loving it
Developer response
Thanks for using the app! We genuinely believe that everyone deserves access to tools that help them improve their health. We'll never hide essential nutrition information behind a paywall. So it's great to hear you're loving the free version. Feel free to reach out to [email protected] if you'd like to try out Gold for a time. Happy bulking!
it would've been better if you people also added food images while searching, it makes things simple, I guess
Developer response
Thanks for the feedback- that’s a great suggestion. Just to clarify, do you mean adding images to help identify foods while searching? We’d love to better understand how you’d like that to work. In the meantime, you could also try Photo Logging, which can help identify foods visually and speed up logging. Appreciate your support
I just love this app! I have trouble getting enough certain nutrients and this app is, in my opinion, the best one to use to keep track of my diet and nutrition intake. I have used this app before to keep track of my folic acid intake when I was pregnant and I'm happy to say that both my baby and I turned out perfectly healthy. Thank you for creating this app! Keep up the amazing work!
Developer response
Hi Sharon! Thank you so much for this amazing rating and review! We are thrilled to hear that you use Cronometer to make sure you're not deficient in anything and that you used it during your pregnancy and both you and your little one are happy and healthy! We hope you have an amazing remainder of your week! :)
This is by far the best calorie-tracking app. I have tried about a dozen and I can say that this one is better because of the following: - clean and pleasant UI. - easier set up without super invasive surveys in the beginning. - ads on the free version are annoying but manageable (I get that I am using a free version and these ads help to pay for the app maintenance and development). It's still annoying but not as bad as any of the other apps. - a fair amount of free features.
Developer response
Hey there! We’re glad you’re enjoying the clean UI, simple setup, and strong free features. We aim to make nutrition tracking approachable without unnecessary friction. Ads help support our team and the development of the app, but we’re always working to improve how they fit into the experience. Thanks for sharing!
No adds for the 1st week, then adds start popping up at annoying times (like while entering a food it pops up and interrupts so I can't just quickly add what I need to). That said, I've used a lot of calorie tracking apps and this one is by far my favorite. The free version lets you scan food items, which is usually a paid feature on other apps. Also it breaks down nutrients in foods in a very informative and helpful way. Love the app, just hate the timing of the adds.
Developer response
Glad to hear you’re enjoying the free barcode scanner and detailed nutrient breakdown. We genuinely believe that everyone should have the ability to track their nutrition accurately, not be feature locked behind a paywall. Ads help support the free version, and we’re always working to improve how they fit into the experience. Thanks for your review
great app and the best calorie tracking up, a MASSIVE con is that it crashed out quite often for a lot of time which makes it annoying to work with.
Developer response
Thanks for the kind words, we really appreciate it! Sorry about the crashes you experienced. That issue has now been resolved, and our tech team was on it quickly to get things back to normal. Appreciate your patience!
Cronometer is the best racking app with MyFitnessPal now ruined by private equity greed pay walls + awful Ai and UI changes. Cronometer's device integration (Garmin, HealthConnect) is top notch. Only request is better search. When searching for foods, recently-added foods matching search parameters should pop up first. E.g., if I recently logged "Dole 100% grape juice," when searching "grape" results should prioritize the Dole grape juice just logged. Not other grape-related items/brands.
Developer response
Thanks for the thoughtful review- we really appreciate it! We believe everyone deserves access to tools that help them improve their health. We'll never hide essential nutrition information behind a paywall. We hear you on the search and recent foods behavior- we're actively looking to improve the search feature. We really appreciate your thoughts!
I'm still trying to figure out all this app's capabilities but I definitely feel like I've elevated my experience after using MyFitnessPal.
Developer response
Hi Sabrina! Let me be the first to welcome you to Cronometer - we're stoked to have you here! If you ever need assistance while you're familiarizing yourself with the app we have the best Support Team! They can be reached at [email protected] and are always ready to answer your questions! Wishing you all the best! Thanks for the review!
I absolutely love this app!!!! Free version. It has helped me lose 60 lbs!!! The ads are RARE and never more than 5 seconds. Samsung Galaxy S10+ (older phone) HOWEVER, lately when I go to open it to log something, it says "Sorry this is taking longer than usual" and I can't get in. Now it's happening more often, It's happened twice now in a week. I did notice after the first time though there were some new updates, so I'm hoping they're just improving the app, cause this is not the norm for them
Developer response
Thanks so much for the kind review, and congratulations on your incredible achievement! We’re sorry for the recent login issue, as that’s not the expected experience. If it happens again, please send crash logs via: More > Support > Contact Us > Report an issue with the app. Tick “Send crash logs to Cronometer”. Thank you!
One of the best apps I've ever used to track my calorie intake. It has all the metrics you'd expect and then some! Huge foods database (all you need to accurately track your food is scan the barcode), complete breakdown of the macro/nutrients, water tracking, syncing with health apps to import biometrics. The UI could use some improvements but that's only secondary. On the plus side, it's only showing limited ads (once or twice a day, I can live with it). Search no further!
Developer response
Hi there, thanks so much for your kind review! We really value input from our users - your feedback plays a big role in helping us improve the app to better meet your needs. To help us understand this a little better, could you share more about how the UI could be improved? You can send any and all feedback to [email protected]. Thanks!
easy to use with accurate databases .
Developer response
Great to hear you're finding out databases accurate and the app easy to use! We believe that accurate data empowers better decisions. Thanks for sharing 🧡
Relatively easy way to monitor my nutrition. Can't see a way to delete food I've entered incorrectly (so minus one star) but that's a minor inconvenience for a free app.
Developer response
Hi there, thanks for the great review! To delete a food in your Diary: Swipe right on the food > Tap on the three dots > Tap Delete. If you having any issues with this please don't hesitate to write in to [email protected]. Happy tracking!
Good, very good
Developer response
Thanks for using Cronometer!
its good, sometimes it feels like a lot of effort to add things
Developer response
Thanks for the feedback! We hear you, tracking can sometimes feel like a bit of effort. We’re always working on ways to make logging faster and more seamless while keeping things accurate. If you’re open to it, please reach out to [email protected] and let us know where it feels most time-consuming- we’d love to better understand and improve.
Would rate it 5 but haven't used it long enough yet
Developer response
Thanks for using Cronometer!
good app, but some of the foods I eat aren't in the app, so it makes it hard to calculate my meals if they're not in the app, so I would recommend adding more foods
Developer response
Thanks for the feedback! By using the barcode scanner and adding new foods, you’re also helping expand the database. We’re continually growing it, with our curation team adding 1000+ new foods each week. In the meantime, you can create custom foods or recipes when something isn’t listed to keep your tracking accurate. Thanks for your feedback 🧡
very useful, pretty easy
Developer response
Great to hear! Thanks for using Cronometer 🧡
awesome app - would love a few tweaks though
Developer response
Thanks for the review! We'd love to hear what tweaks would make the app perfect for you. Feel free to message [email protected]. We appreciate your support 🧡
