HitMeal Calorie & Food Tracker 4+

Love it!

This app is the best of its kind, the interface is simple and beautiful. I can track weight, water, and macros on top of calories, which has a nice time graph for all. Love it! Great barcode scanner, and entering food is quick, exactly how it’s needed. I love tracking my food I used to write it in my notes.

If I can make two suggestions to developers, I mean no offense… when I add new food, I wish there was a way that I could combine my foods I had scanned to create one food. For example, I drink the same chia seed smoothie several times a week, and to be accurate I have all ingredients separated out. Well each time I track it, I have to find each ingredient in my favorites and add. When I press the plus button, the screen scrolls up to the top, and then I have to scroll back down again to that area (which can be a long list). If there was a way to make this a custom food that I can add all the ingredients together that I scanned, or, if that list didn’t scroll to the top when pressing the plus… 👌👌👌 Just in case you are taking user suggestions :)

Great app, very beautifully designed, does exactly what it’s supposed to do and very efficiently!

Almost perfect app

I have been using HitMeal for about a month now, and I could go on and on about what it does right. I love how nutrition information from even some more obscure restaurants and recipes are easy to find. I like how easy it is to add your own recipes, and the interface you use to go about all this. A few features that I think would be very beneficial though:
1. More fine-grained control of custom recipe portions. I sometimes eat different amounts than just whole, halves, thirds and quarters, of a serving. Since the ingredients all include weight and/or volume, being able to control it that way would be a game-changer.
2. Being able to choose portion size from the calories/macro values. If I want to eat X number of calories of something, it would be awesome if I could type in X and get how much I would need to eat to do this.
3. Having the search feature include your custom recipes when searching under breakfast, lunch, etc. that’s my workflow for most items, so having it extend to your recipes would be convenient.
Regardless of these gripes, this is a stellar app and I applaud the developer for it!

Good But…

This app is easy to use. There’s a good amount of food already in the system for barcode scanning, and I can take pictures of my own foods if entering a new one. I can save favorite foods that I eat often so they’re easy to add and I don’t have to scan a barcode every time I eat something. A lot to like, HOWEVER, it drove me absolutely insane that their units of measurement are non-comprehensive. If adding my own food, it would only give me the option to add fl oz or ml when I’m not even adding a liquid, so instead I’d like to see tbsp, cup, oz, etc. but those don’t exist. Because of this limitation, it wasn’t accurately tracking my quantity. Also, I wish there was a space, a note section if you will, to add something about the food. For example, one serving size of a brand of breakfast sausages is 3 links, but I can’t put that in anywhere. It’ll just record as “1 serving”. So I have to then remember the serving size (according to a food package) for so many different foods. Imagine liking and buying five different types of breakfast sausage and they each have their own serving size, and you just have to automatically know and remember when you input which sausage brand has which serving size. For these reasons, I deleted the app and am searching for a new one.
