AI Calorie Counter: ParrotPal

Love the concept but app freezes constantly (just downloaded). Also it would be nice to be able to see what I eat in a day listed. It seems like Im supposed to but it wont always show up. When it does show up it wont allow me to edit the list into different meals if I made a mistake

Logs food well for your protein and calories Saving food to fav ok but if make mistake can’t delete. No FAQ available. Help takes you to a sales pages and CONTACT US takes you to the top of screen 😂. The idea is right but someone will come and do it properly soon and will be on point👌🏽 This version very basic and lacks any customer service. Overall good to try wouldn’t go past a couple of weeks with it

Wow this app is so easy to use! I love it, being able to speak to track calories while eating them is so easy. Not stressing about 5 or 10 calories rounding up makes it was less stressful than other apps. I did have some issues with the time and date and contacted support and Scott himself helped me out and sorted the issue and now I’m set. Highly recommend ParrotPal to anyone looking for a new calorie tracking app!!

Whilst the concept behind this app is very good & I like that you can log foods easier. The functionality is not ready for something I would pay $6 week for. A few of the issues I’ve experienced are: 1) scanning barcodes and then having to input the data is not what was promoted. 2) App mixed up date & data for day 3 & 4. Day 3 calories are showing for Day 4, but steps are correct. Day 3 podcast was same as day 4. Day 3 weight was showing Day 2 weight. I have the latest version of the app too. (1 week old) 3) Day 1 automatically starts the day you download which is not an option you can change. Therefore much data was missing for day 1 but is included in weekly average which is now skewed. It should only average the weight data which is captured, so is not a true average. If users get to choose start date they can prepare the things needed to actually start properly. Like taking weight before breakfast and getting some food which are healthier. 4) Can’t get accurate progress data. Weekly average is way off. One day was showing 50kg more than my actual weight, even though I had entered my weight correctly. 5) FAQs are very basic, not much help if your having issues with it

This app is so easy to use. The focus on calories, protein and steps makes it so much easier mentally to building momentum. It has all the tools other apps have and the AI voice note WHICH I LOVE. The Australian food database and barcode scanner is also v good. Big fan 💪

Why can I not update a saved food after it has been created? Currently have to delete and recreate if I want to modify a repetitive meal.

This app needs A LOT of work to get to fitnesspal honestly, data base is poor, UI on certain elements are incomplete, no tracking of macros!! Only protein. For it to be better than myfitnesspal as they claimed in the add you need to do everything they do plus the AI thing otherwise it’s not worth it at all.

As someone who has religiously tracked calories for the last 10 years, and also who has religiously failed so many times, this is exactly what I needed!! Easy, quick, relatable and on top of that motivational (even the husband is intrigued now). I also love the fact that when I clicked on the pregnant option it didn’t tell me that I could not do it. It is about health for me at the moment, but no other tracker “includes” pregnant women. Thank you for creating the perfect app.

Good app 👍🏻

The concept of this app is absolutely brilliant. The use of AI to help track calories particularly when exact data from barcodes or weights isn’t available is a really neat way of keeping up some form of calorie tracking whilst away from your own kitchen. However when you do have exact measurements or a barcode available the registered food database used by the app appears to be incredibly limited or inconsistent (maybe 20% of the items I’ve tried to scan using a barcode have been successfully matched, with the rest requiring me to input data myself and then scan again). Also, when giving the AI the exact brand and measurement of products, this still doesn’t always match what appears on the packaging from the retailer. Unfortunately this casts some doubt into my mind as to how accurate the tracking I’m relying on the AI to fill in can be (for example meals from the office canteen). I’ve no doubt the product will improve over time, but it’s disappointing that you have to sign up for a year with only a week’s free trial, which isn’t long enough to begin to notice the shortcomings of the app, and you’re then locked in having paid. That being said, I agree with the creator’s go-to opinion in his TikTok comments section which is that “some tracking is better than nothing”, even if not always 100% accurate, and this certainly makes that task much easier and keeps me on my goal better than nothing at all.
