Store ratings include star-only taps from in-app prompts, which skew high. The peak and recent figures come only from people who wrote a review, which skews low. Compare each against itself: the drop is the signal, and a big gap between the two usually means heavy rating prompting is masking unhappy users.

Way too expensive

★ · v2.1.794 · Oct 6, 2026

I thought I was going to like this but it was hard to work and way to expensive to just log my food

missing some key features

★★ · v2.1.794 · Oct 1, 2026

while it’s a pretty app, and i like the individual meal macros, there are some key features missing like being able to choose a recipe serving size and adjust the serving to fit your macros!!

Wasted time

★ · v2.1.789 · Sep 29, 2026

Couldn’t make any entries nor cancel subscription or delete account the only option recognizing was the option to select type of billing

Pay to play

★ · v2.1.776 · Sep 24, 2026

Can’t even try the free version of the app it forces you into a trial before you can do anything

Slow responsiveness.

★ · v2.1.776 · Sep 23, 2026

App is very slow and sluggish after last update. Slow to respond to input since

Not free. Misleading

★ · v2.1.776 · Sep 19, 2026

The app is claimed to be free to use, but it is not free. You get a seven day free trial and then you must subscribe for money. Misleading and not worth wasting your time.

Works when it wants too

★ · v2.1.776 · Sep 18, 2026

Junk

Bait and switch

★ · v2.1.767 · Sep 16, 2026

It said there was a free version, but it only lasts for two weeks, and even try those two weeks you have to agree to purchase. No thank you.

Hate the new version

★ · v2.1.767 · Sep 15, 2026

Love this app! Absolutely hate the new version of this! It feels like some game I just want a basic food tracker! So hard to read everything now.

Horrible

★ · v2.1.767 · Sep 8, 2026

No help

Terrible update

★ · v2.1.763 · Sep 4, 2026

The update is so bad. A BUNCH of the foods that I always used, eggs etc. have the nutritional facts all out of whack!!! Can I please have access to the old version?? I was just fine with the old one

Subscription is required

★ · v2.1.729 · Sep 2, 2026

I was wanting to try this app but it requires a subscription

J

★ · v2.1.729 · Aug 17, 2026

Clumsy, scattered and totally unintuitive

Calories are off from what it should be

★ · v2.1.726 · Aug 3, 2026

I recently purchased another truck that also lets you track macros and they compare the results to the same foods. The calories protein carbs values were absolutely different. I then double checked the nutrition information online and it turned out that values in MacrosFirst are significantly inaccurate My example was with chicken breast and it’s inaccurate for 100cal and 10g of protein. When you are in a calorie deficit this amount of numbers matters a lot

SCAM ALERT

★ · v2.1.712 · Jul 31, 2026

This is a SCAM app charges you non stop wether you cancel it or not. Even if you don’t sign up for one at all. IVE CONTACTED APPLE AND EVEN INACTIVE IT STILL KEEP CHARGING ME 41.99. SCAM ALERT. App will steal your money! Do not use!

Doesn't list Fiber as one of the main nutrients tracked

★★ · v2.1.679 · Jul 1, 2026

I really wanted to love this app, but my dietitian wants me to track fiber, protein, carbs, and fat. This tracker lists protein, carbs, fat and calories in the main section next to each food item but not fiber. You have to drill down into the other nutrients to find fiber. People have been requesting this option for two years and it still hasn't been instituted. I've since deleted the app.

Horrible Update

★ · v2.1.679 · Jul 1, 2026

I really am disappointed I use to love this app in 2024-2025, the recent update is HORRIBLE. Please go back to the old app. It’s so hard to properly calculate your meals, Difficult to search and log already made meals, and it’s too much cluttered on one screen. I might as well give my fitness pal my money! I will be deleting this app.

Not free

★ · v2.1.679 · Jun 30, 2026

Once you get everything filled out they want $80 a year.

Inaccurate

★ · v2.1.679 · Jun 29, 2026

After using this app for years and not seeing much progress, I finally realized its calories are underreported by up to 300. This is a huge and unforgivable discrepancy and their database should be checked and everyone who downloads this app with the hope of making progress should not have to go into this blind.

Login loop

★ · v2.1.645 · Jun 16, 2026

You get the app, fill out questions and then need an email for a login link. Link takes you to a browser page that says download app, if you open the app it asks to open your email. No way to get past this loop of open app/open email. Maybe it works if you click premium instead of free.

Can use without a subscription

★ · v2.1.629 · Jun 4, 2026

Don’t waste your time. You can’t use it without a subscription. Go through the whole set up for nothing. Total scam

Thumbs down

★ · v2.1.618 · May 26, 2026

This app acts like it is free. It’s not! You have to get the premium version to even use it. Very deceptive and frustrating! Just say that it’s a paid app.🙄

Do not recommend

★ · v2.1.590 · May 19, 2026

I have tried to get my refund as I did not want to sign up, I tried the free trial and I still meet the window for being refunded and they are making it impossible! I need my money back and they have been very unhelpful! Very unhappy do not recommend!

Dislike latest update

★★ · v2.1.572 · Apr 25, 2026

I dont like the location of the log button top right corner and the search bar. Really hate the location of the search bar. It doesnt stand out. Feels hiddne in the middle of the page. What search bar is in the middle of the screen?!

Latest update version terrible

★ · v2.1.572 · Apr 24, 2026

Latest update version is terrible. Been using for years but will now delete & use another app as the screen is too clunky. No reason there are 6 places to search food when only 1 is needed.

The opportunity

What would it take to build a viable competitor, what would it cost to run every month, and a prompt to get started. Generated from the reviews on file; one LLM call per brief. Set ANTHROPIC_API_KEY for a real brief; the stub only fills in a template.
