ControlMyWeight

I’d really like this app if the bar code scanner would work.

So simple to use without all the silly bells and whistles. The only negative is goal weights and calories it wishes to set for you are waaaayyy to low but thankfully allows you to chance to suit. Wish that there was a calendar where you see your daily calories for the month at a glance, not just the bar graph. Edit: it logs me out every few weeks to months and I wait a few days for tech support, frustrating and no reason given as to why its always doing it. This time I’ve been logged out for 2 weeks and customer support is non responsive.

The app is pretty simple to use. The scanner isn’t so good. It always says “scan item again” or “create food”, even for simple things! For instance I scanned Quaker Quick Oats and nothing! For this reason I doubt I will continue using it. If the scan doesn’t work I won’t create an entry. Not my job and to be honest it takes toooooo long!

This app seems to be using a lot of questionable and biased science. I would really advise against using their recommended targets especially as a petite woman or you may receive targets that could endanger your health and push you towards disordered eating. Instead please talk to a dietician or at least your family doctor before jumping on an app like this and having it seem like 1100 calories a day is reasonable or safe for any grown adult!! That’s wildly untrue. I like the simple interface and how easy it is to save my recipes and was excited to have something paired down that wasn’t pushing as much toxic diet culture on me as much as other apps (an impossible find it seems) I really just wanted something that lets me put in my food and then can show me my overall nutrition at the end of the day and this app does that well. The feature of having a goal or highlighted nutrients is really nice BUT wasted on ONLY being usable towards calories and exercise. Why can’t I set a protein goal? Or iron or anything I’m working on getting every day to SUPPORT my health goals? This isn’t an exercise tracking app anyways so why is that given precedence over actual food related goals? All in all this app flattens health into simple calories in and calories out to promote weight loss regardless of how safe that actually is for anyone without guidance or further information on supporting their health. Unless you have guidance elsewhere please avoid this app! It’s not a full picture of health and is just one tool. One small, honestly unhelpful tool in the long run.

Great app! It helps me keep track of my calories. It’s much better than other apps as you can put in different portion sizes and get an accurate calorie count.

Scan tool does work at all :( Please fix it👍

So easy to use! All food options are available to choose. I find that i can control what i eat and entering data into my phone app is perfect because if i forget to add a food then i can revise at any time!

I live in Canada. It seems you have not loaded Canadian foods?

I am very pleased with this app since it allows me to keep on track with the amount of food I consume. Easy to use.

Good App easy to use!
