MacroFactor - Macro Tracker

This is by far the best tracking app out there. It’s like having a professional coach for only about $70 bucks per year. Not the mention the UI is pleasing and they are only working on more exciting things to come in the future. I have lost 40 lbs using this app and will continue to use it to achieve my goals. Great job to everyone who has something to do with this!

Just switched over from LifeSum and found MacroFactor was way faster at logging food. The food database is great and the UX is intuitive.

The list of foods to choose from is pretty good and recipes are easy to enter. One of the best parts of this app is the adjustments to target calories and the daily, weekly and monthly metrics.

I cancelled my subscription to this app and it continued to charge me even though my app account was disabled. The app itself registered that I had cancelled it but the billing continued. Super disappointed.

This app is a game changer. I spent many years on my fitness pal and lose it but never had the same success as I do with MacroFactor. This app not only allows you to lose weight, but it is overall encompassing health app if you want to cut if you wanna bulk if you wanna maintain this app can help you do it. I love how tailored this app can get for you if you want to be simple and just lose weight you can do it if you want to get super complex and track your macros carbs and nutrients you can do it as well. And of course, the best part of this app is that it accurately tracks your metabolism so it gives you accurate measures of what you need to eat for the week because I have a personal trainer without having personal trainer.

I’ve been using Macro factor since spring 2024 and it’s been a huge help in me losing 50 pounds. I love that my scale can connect with the app and automatically update everyday. I also like being able to put in recipes.

Despite me changing my weight in the app, any new goal I set defaults to the original weight inputted into the app when I signed up which is 5 lbs higher than I am right now. So when I set a weight loss goal, it’s thinking I’m heavier than I am. This is even after doing a weight check that shows lower weight. Also won’t let me delete a goal and start over. This is overhyped.

This app is by a long shot the best way to track calories and nutrients. The food database is very impressive and scanning barcodes makes tracking super easy. The coaching algorithm uses your intake and weigh ins to determine your calorie expenditure which becomes more accurate over time. After a month or so of consistent use it feels dialed in, making this app is a great way to measure your approximate daily calorie expenditure. Absolutely worth the subscription cost. I feel like I’m paying for the quality of the app and not just the right to not watch ads.

I’ve been a paid subscriber for the last year. I am very disciplined about tracking my calories and weighing in. There’s a lot to like about the app, and I do recommend it. However, the user interface is clunky at best and confusing and actively unhelpful at worst. Food logging has gone backwards, it used to do a lookup based on, I think, the last few times a food was logged and show anything used in the log. That no longer happens. So logging a sandwich is a PITA now. I have a protein shake nearly every morning and my protein shake recipe never ever comes up as higher than #12 in the suggestion list. Ever. It should be the first match! I do scrambled eggs too, but they never show up in the first page of suggestions either. Checking in is opaque - calorie decisions made by the algorithm aren’t explained and don’t seem to make sense. We weigh ourselves every day, so why is this action two taps away - it’s same number of taps as recipes? Focus on the actions we always do and present them right up front. If you’re entering multiple foods and make a mistake, it is way too easy to delete all the foods, forcing you have to re-enter them again. Focus on usability for a while please. Read Tufte. These problems were solved by others long ago.
