Keeps crashing on iPhone
Works okay on iPad. Otherwise it is okay.

Great app
Easy to use, free to purchase and no subscriptions , Australian app, has most foods and restaurant foods, has every component you need and overall a great weight loss app!
2020-08-09
I like it
Not the most intuitive program, I find. But its pretty good in the most important areas of the program. Such types of food and how to adjust portions and many other food related functions.
I do recommend it, just be patient at the start until you work it out. It will be worth it, at least I believe so.

Where’s Hellofresh
Great app
A suggestion for improvement would be to add Hellofresh meals so healthy eating can be tracked easier.
2020-07-14
Really great app (from a cynic!)
Actually a good app. Really good for free. Much of this is about timing (ie I’m ready to count my calories/lose weight) and so far it’s good. I’m now sooo conscious of how easy it is to get to 2200 calories. Ridiculous. Now I’m really cutting back on snacks to make sure I hit my target. The pressure of the goal is stronger than my previous incessant snacking which is good. Also good data on the weight side but daren’t weigh myself yet. So far so good. Recommend if you’re goal orientated like me and need an easy/quick method to monitor.

Misleading calorie goals
I put my calorie goal for 1500 calories consumed with daily exercise.
Once I enter my exercise say I burnt 200 calories. It adds that additional 200 calories on to the daily calorie limit and says i have 1700 calories remaining. This is really stupid because technically I still have consumed the calories I have eaten you can’t just minus it from your daily allowance once you exercise or I could end up accidentally eating hundreds of calories over my daily goal. Exercise entered should not affect your daily calorie goal. I’ve looked in settings and can’t find anywhere to change this silly set up

CalorieKing is King
I’ve been using this App for the past 8 years and before that the original pocket book.
The food data base is huge and accurate. It’s simple and easy to use with no other distractions.
2020-06-14
Great, but missing features
Fantastic app, and to make it even better I would love to be able to set individual macro targets (carbs, fats and proteins), and other key targets such as sodium and caffeine intake.
2020-06-03
NQR
This app seems to have gone backwards over the years wrt content held. There used to be a time you could search food and actually find it and the brand....now I find I am having to use the create food just to enter the basic food or condiment now after only less than a week of use I give up
2020-05-22
Barcode
Where has the barcode feature gone. Taking way too long to search for foods now.
2020-05-06
Great app for Australia
Really refreshing and convenient to have an app that pretty much has all the stuff you can buy off the shelf in Au and it’s pretty easy to add in your own recipes.
Even better the app remembers which foods you regularly eat so it doesn’t take too much for the daily process to get easier.
Given the volume of data it collects and has access to, it’s a real pity that the reports section can’t be tailored more - for instance I’d like to track cumulative calories under/over target as this is really what drives weight loss/gain. Not the daily stuff.

CalorieKing
Love this app. Check ins keep you on your diet I’ve lost 20 kilos so happy.
2020-04-25
Great App
I’ve been using the app for years now and I think it’s great! It’s easy to use and has a huge amount of Australian options in it which can be hard to find in other apps.
I think it could be improved if it had a barcode scanner! That would make things sooooo much better! Also, it would be great if the app had an option where it didn’t alter the calories and left them how they were regardless of what exercise was input! It gets frustrating when I have to track in two apps bc of this small issue.
Thanks.

Don’t waste another day !
I’ve been monitoring my weight daily since the start of this year 2020 and I’ve had some success... but since starting to use this app CalorieKing I can now know if I’m going to lose weight within each 24 hour cycle or not .... don’t leave your weight loss to guess work or chance get motivated and get this app CalorieKing!!
2020-04-19
Not incredibly intuitive
The amount of options is daunting, but the choices are restrictive. It’s far more annoying than just looking up the calories and writing them down yourself. Bleegh
2020-04-18
Okay
The App is generally set out well but it is not always easy to search for foods when entering daily intake or creating a recipe. There is also a limited range of options for several foods in terms of portion sizes, unless you weigh all foods. It seems that many common supermarket brand foods are hard to locate in the App. Some information seems to be incomplete or inaccurate; in any e.g if counting caffeine intake, and drinking tea, the App shows that tea has no caffeine.

Brilliant app
I have done the CSIRO plan previously and they use recording of your foods during the day and describe it as food groups in units. This app describe the a protein, fibre etc breakdown as a % of daily allowance. To track your intake of various fibre, protein is just as good, but you still need good diet understanding to make this work for you in balance. This app also allows yo to enter recipes of your own, same as csiro online diet. I would lie to see this app label the snacks so at a glance you can see w you have eaten rather than click on each thing to find out.
This app is a great find. Thank you soooo much!
2020-04-14
Data
Years ago you use to show how much protein carbohydrates fats and fibre eaten per day as a growing bar graph. Can this return please
2020-04-08
Room for improvement
Great app but would be better if keep up to date on products on market, some new items have also change calories, another is to link to phones to estimate daily steps/calories burnt.

Awesome weight loss program
I have used CalorieKing program for a number of years.
It is the most sensible weight control program I know. It is easy to use and has helped me make more healthy and nutritious choices in my daily diet. As a person who has no real idea of “portion sizes”, I really like having to weigh foods for calorie content. I also love being able to enter my own recipes, and know just what nutrients and calories they contain. Thank you CalorieKing.

Best APP ever it’s fantastic can’t find anything as good as this highly recommend of ur serious about tracking calories and maintaining a healthy weight 💪👍👍
2020-01-22
Fantastic and free
This app takes a little time to set up. I found I had to install all the food I ate so in the beginning it took some time as I looked up the nutritional content of foods and typed it in. But now it is fantastic! If you need to record a food diary for weight control or diabetes this app is both flexible and accurate!
2020-01-07
Very easy to use
Easy to add your own foods and keep track of how much you’re eating.
2020-01-06
Not user friendly
Nowhere near as good as the old website. Food searches do not come up with products that used to be easy to find. Adding a recipe is a painful task. It changes what your typing with stupid predictive text. I’ve tried the website too and it’s no better.
I don’t know how much they paid someone to develop this app and their new website but they were ripped off.
Bring back the old one, please.

Recipe ingredient storage
Love this app - supports me with managing to get through the keto day.
The only improvement I would like to see is being able to view the ingredients of the keto recipe’s that I have created.
This would be really beneficial so that I could edit recipes and manage to maintain the macro counts easily.
2020-01-02
Great help
Excellent app to record progress and keeps me I track.

Great for losing great
Great that you can add foods that are not in the program

Daily Moving average
Add a daily moving average to the graph

Easy to use
This app is easy to use and remembers all your most used foods and brings them to the top of any searches. The only gripe is that sometimes, when you search for something simple, say coffee, it will give you so many results it takes a few minutes to find the one you want. But this is probably the case with all diet diaries. Good app, simple and effective.
2019-12-16
Great app
Easy to use and Australian based
Have lost 34kg in 12 months using the app & still have a few beers!!

Excellent! Really helps with accountability..
Best way to keep in control of your weight. Just keep on using the app to keep on track..

Set Your Activity to Moderate for Best Results
Brilliant improvements over the years have made this a 5-star app for me. Easy to use especially when creating foods not included in its database. Adhering to calorie limits set definitely results in guaranteed weight loss. The last two updates though, have altered the calculation of these intake targets, lowering them by around 400 cals per day. That’s significant! I’ve found, however, that more reliable cal limits are provided when setting activity levels to moderate. Once done, the app returns to its old highly useful state again. It’s a great weight loss partner.

Good app used quite a lot
Easy to use and up to date. Thanks
2019-10-31
Rubbish app
No instructions on how to use it. It is idiosyncratic to calorie king
2019-10-23
Great App
Love this app. So much simpler and easier then others available. I would give it 5 stars if it interfaced with Apple Health. Hopefully in a future update?
2019-10-14
Too many menus
Can you add to this App nutritional information on FODMAP count?
2019-10-14
Great App
I use it every day. Makes me accountable!

Just buy it. You’ll never look back
I’ve struggled to lose and keep off weight for a long, long time. This app has been critical to not just loss, but sustained change. You will learn foods you thought were “healthy” actually aren’t (ps I break up with you cheese). It helps you track your weight loss, exercise burnt calories etc. it takes away the guilt or a cheat meal if you know exactly what you need to do to burn it off. Ie in 8 weeks I’ve lost 16 kilos and counting. I also enjoyed KFC with my family this week for my Monthly cheat meal. I then walked 7.6km (Runtastic is amazing by the way) and burnt off the entire meal. I went to bed guilt free and the next day woke up to weight loss! Loss after KFC!
Honestly this has changed my life, my health and my marriage.
Thank you

Difficult
May have useful info but it takes HUGE amounts of patience. Try adding bike riding to exercise. It comes up as ‘spin’ & there is no other listing. You have to put bike riding in manually but I have no idea how to calculate calorie burn rates! So be very patient, get an IT degree or give up
2019-10-03
Thanks
Very happy with the App. It is a wonderful tool for helping me keep track of my carb intake.
Pity about having to have a nickname to send this!

Calorie King
Fantastic and faultless. Just so easy to keep the diary on the iPhone.
2019-10-01
Needs update
Doesn’t seem to work properly after been updated to 13.1.1
2019-09-29
Not so good anymore
I have an iPhone XR and it’s now updated to iOS 13.1.1 and in the diary section, I can’t select a mealtime to edit the log. I have to tap like crazy to hopefully get it to work. I have contacted support and they contacted me once to ask what iPhone I had, I replied and haven’t heard anything back to say what they were doing.
I’m not happy anymore with this app, it used to be an easy, simple app to use...NOT ANYMORE!!!
