it would be nice if it counted net carbs vs total carbs. Also more measurement options would be nice as well. Obviously I like the app but not quite sure exactly worth payin for given rhe extremely limited database and rhe fact it pops up a crash message every time I want to search for a new food. i like that i can input my own food and nutrtional info. fix these issues and i can stop looking for another app to do the same thing

Thanks for your review. I have passed your feedback to the team. At present that app is mainly used in the UK and other countries where net carbs are not used in diabetes management. Hence why they are not included at this time. If you have any further feedback please get in touch with us at support@carbsandcals.helpscoutapp.com

As a dietitian I can say this app is amazing, much better than others, more simple to use, photos help you find what you're looking for, not only shows macronutrients but also what effect this will have on your sugar levels. I recommend this to many of my patients.

Thought this app was good to start with but I don't think the database of foods is that extensive or accurate. They have Tesco foods but if you compare the nutritional information to Tesco website it's different. Most barcodes I've scanned don't come up with a match. I'm just manually inputting items to My Foods which defeats the point it should be easy. Have subscribed for a year as it was cheaper but now stuck with it and won't be renewing next year.
