MacroFactor - Macro Tracker

There were many reasons why I tried out this app. Was looking for something better than MyFitnessPal which I’ve used for many years. The food database is also not what it claims. Compared to MFP, this app’s food database is small and very concentrated on US and UK packaged products. I’m from Asia and when I tried adding Asian food, most of the database comes up with US or UK branded ones. Even something as staple as Beef Satay or it accompaniment Satay Peanut Sauce is not found in the list of food. I paid for 6 months subscription and after 4 months use, the database list has not grown. Going back to MFP. Giving one star to warn others to not buy into their marketing message or affiliate marketing content.

Bro u need to even pay to even start the app 65$ a month and we can’t even use it for free ?

Just a couple of weeks into trying this, but this is the best food logging and weight tracking app I’ve come across. Definitely worth paying for. My only gripe is the library of foods isn’t quite as extensive as MyFitnessPal. But if necessary I search in MFP and then recreate in MF.

AND they’re continuing to develop!

Still poor food list mostly seems focus on us so when I’m in Europe I can’t find something. I love the design of the app. Please…the form for the new year with the weight in pound no! It’s 2024 and it’s time to go ahead!

My wife & I have tried a couple of these macro counting app with varied success. In the long run they seemed a bit undeveloped. My daughter recommended MacroFactor and we are enjoying the comprehensive food database and intuitive use of features. I feel good about long term success.

I have tried so many apps for tracking macros. After using WW for a year, I realized I wanted more focused macro counting and began the search for an app that would have it all - trending, customizable, solid support and backed by science. Very lofty expectations and I found it in MacroFactor(after using My Fitness Pal, Cronometer, Healthi just to name a few)!! While it might be overwhelming at first to use the app given all the information, if you take some time to learn it will be well worth it. As you keep using the app you end up building your food library and I have many recipes now created in the app. I read the articles in the blog and as a physician was impressed with the level of detail represented. I love the integration with Apple health as that is integrated with my scale. The algorithm takes some time to get used to your intake and expenditure and becomes more accurate in over time. While I don’t love spending money on apps, this was well worth the annual fee. The trends are a nice way to see progress, the ability to track weight, body measurements, nutrition all outstanding. What I love even more are the different strategies presented when you sign up and set your goals. Truly the most flexible app I have seen with very responsive support. The Reddit page is active and helpful for guidance as well. This app is so much better and with some marketing can be the leader in the space.

Really enjoying the app, esp. the bar code tracker! Looking forward to a 2025 where I eat good for once!

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.
