CarbsControl - Carb Counter and Tracker

Recommend with 5 stars                 Great app

Its helping me on my diabetic diet                 None

The number of foods included in the nutritional database is quite comprehensive Its perfect for keeping up with carbs                 Good Range of Foods

Low carb for health reasons The app takes a little getting used to but overall has helped me a great deal              Big Help

Probs navigating at first App does what I need it to                 What I need

Easy to use Searching is a snap I love it                 Great app

Really hard to figure out how to use definitely not user friendly     Hard to use

Good and straightforward Easy to use The good info could be a little more detailed though For example it says lemon but does not specify large or small              Reveiw

App works great with my iPhone 5c The QUICK FOOD ENTRY could be more intuitive when entering SERVINGS and SERVING TYPE Its the only thing that prevented me from rating it a five              Great app

Well since i been on insulin pump has mad it very easy to look up most foods dont have all but very good and wide variety                 Easy to use

Perhaps its just because I design apps for a living but the usability on this app is atrocious Searching and adding to your food list should not be separated Also if you add something to the food log you cant remove it Come on guys Users make mistakes and need to be able to recover from them     Bad usability

Sync between two Apple devices does not work App is hard to navigate Website reports dont show daily carb summary and even though there is a daily exercise report there is no way to enter exercise data This is a work in process hopefully it will get better over time           Good but not great

Very nice app many options easy once you get used to it Like the different options for measurements Would appreciate a spell check on food entries                 Pat

This app isnt any better than the Atkins one and that one is free Didnt think it was worth the cost           Not great

I am very disappointed that this app has ONE listing for anything titled Atkins I should have never downloaded this Already frustrated and very disappointed DO NOT get this app if youre counting Atkins carbs     Disappointing

Very helpful                 Love it

This app is okay Its not as user friendly as other food tracking apps           Ok

I have the Fitbit Health and Lose It App on my phone My doctor recommended this app Hard to use does not interface well with my other apps I downloaded Diabetes Kit to go with the suite of other apps They all talk to each other and share my data Ease of use for this App compared to the Diabetes Kit is one star I actually asked the maker of CarbsControl for my money back Didnt happen so I am stuck with it I plan on deleting it as it just takes up space It is only 300 bucks but still there is no standing behind the product or a refund either     Dont bother with this app

Im looking for something that will track my net carbs Yes this does this BUT their database is small Anything I type in is not found they also need a scanner If they increased the database and added a scanner this app would actually be useful for me        Not what Im looking for

Im already getting the feeling I will be disappointed I went to make my very first log I had an Atkins Advantage bar this morning App says 12g net carbs Which is incorrect Its 3g net carbs I specifically bought this app because none of the other weight loss and dietary entry apps I have tried the last 7 months count NET carbs Thats the key piece I need and for 3 I didnt get that with this app Also a barcode scanning option would be nice with this app Not a deal breaker but it would be nice to have I plan on keeping it and possibly playing around with it but Im disappointed I dont even have the option to edit the Atkins bar info if you search it in the prepackaged list        Had this app about 5 minutes

I have taught Diabetes care for 20 years as a RN Then last November I became a Diabetic myself Its harder than I would have thought to manage your carb in intake and make better decisions I Love This App and will be telling my patients about how it takes the anxiety out of staying on target                 Happy Diabetic

Disappointedvery difficult to use the many features the App boasts I couldnt even record a simple salad wchicken wo difficultyI ASSumed it would be much easier to navigateBummer     CarbCounter review

Great app to count carbs Would recommend for any diabetic who is looking for simplicity in tracking meals                 Great App

Easy to use good list of prepared foods easy backup              Very useful program

This app is lacking most of the common foods you encounter at grocery stores doesnt have Natures Own bread I mean come on I think this is for people in California or somewhere specific     Doesnt have common foods

Having used this ap for a while now I can say that its disappointing It needs bar code reading spell check and better key word lookup ie typed in creamer Nothing typed in French vanilla creamer nothing Cant find black olives either           Great ap

Just needs a scan bar           Needs a scan bar

I love this app It is quick and easy to use                 Love it

CarbsControl has a lot of good features Yet when comparing it to most of others out there it could be far better Thus I suggest the following 1 An ability to scan the barcode or nutrition information of a product that could then be added to a given meal There are apps out there that already do this Thus if it were added the user wouldnt have to switch between apps making this app all inclusive 2 A more complete and uptodate listing of food products from major supermarket chains Walmart Krogers Meijers etc It is absolutely frustrating and timeconsuming to have to input product information from known national supermarket chains I suggest that the database of products be evergrowing so that they can use or wouldnt have to take time and enter in so many different products 3 A sleeker and more modern looking interface There are several things that can be done to make the app look better The look of an app is just as important as to what that app is said to do 4 A selector for exercise in which type of exercise duration and calories burned can be input Those who would typically purchase this app are those who are trying to watch their weight or most likely dealing with diabetesoriented issues Therefore it is critically important that an exercise feature be added to this app I literally search for days comparing the various apps available that could help me control my carb intake Although CarbsControl was the one that I ultimately purchased it could certainly be better           Does the job but could definitely be better

Good basic listing of carb counts for generic foods and a long list of menu items from most American chain restaurants When on the go with the kids it is invaluable to know what the carb count is for food near the soccer hockey baseball tournament Keep a copy on every phone              Must have for sports families w diabetics

This is very handy for keeping on track I do like that the fact that you are able to track calories also I would like there to be more foods listed I am constantly forced to log a similar item as opposed to what I really ate I question how accurate my food log is           Good app

Well designed with extensive carb database Great for diabetics                 Very helpful

I have to say I was really disappointed in this app its not all that user friendly and pretty much a waist of money If you are looking to track carbs there are much nicer apps out there that not only function better but also look a lot nicer I never really rate the apps I buy but this time I felt it was needed seeing that for a paid app didnt deliver at all Not worth keeping in my book        Needs some real upgrades

I find a lot of the features of this app useful and as stated below it seemed worth some of the chunkiness and glitches Now its freezing all the time in manual input mode you CAN enter protein but you cant see that you are because the screen covers the field and now it just grays out when I go to add a food via the button or if I try to adjust the servingportion Its basically not workable I give it two stars out of hopefulness please fix this app This app has been extremely helpful with tracking both calories and carbs and I expect to see good results at my next Dr visit Some challenges a little too brand heavy and not so healthy chains but there are a couple of good organichealthy brands to go to I do think that is an issue with most apps though so only a half star off for that Also there are a few crossreferencing issues with the brand search perhaps those entered manually and word order is too fixed in the search function but after a week or so you just start searching in alternative ways to find things That could be fixed though Pros I love the home screen everything number you need right there with a graphic of your carbproteinfats at a glance        Update version 71

Its a very useful app for logging food intake Its helpful that I can break down portion sizes in odd increments I have read other reviews and agree that a scanning ability would be great It would be nice see it be more intuitive when a word it misspelled helpful for us with big fingers              Very good app especially for a diabetic

My mother is diabetic has a difficult time grasping carb numbers This app helps her to track her carbs learn which things she canshould eat                 Excellent App for Tracking Carbs

I find this app is very good and gives me all the features I need It was easy to get started and as I add my foods to the database it gets easier and quicker to add meals Syncing is a bit glitchy and does not work for me with the iPad version at all Questions to support have gone unanswered Would like some graphs if the data But still a solid 4 for me as I use it many times a day              Good app getting close to 5star

This app is nice since its free lots of foods to choose from and nice graphic overview This recent version hangs up on me when I search for a food that isnt found The other buggy item is that if I misspell it doesnt offer close alternatives and since it hangs when finding no results I have to quit that option and back out to start again              Functional but a little buggy

I have tried my hardest to make this app work for me for 2 days and I cant figure it out Ive emailed 2 questions without getting a response It seems like it could be good but NOT user friendly        Disappointed

This app would be great if I didnt manually have to log every food I eat Yes they supply some food but its all junk food If you dont mind doing everything by hand Its pretty good But I dont have time to log everything A bar code scanner would be much better        Uhh

Read some of the great reviews and decided to purchase Looked up 3 foods while looking at labels All 3 were incorrect Then the app locked up Even turning phone off and on didnt work Save your money     Inaccurate

Great app The user interface is very friendly Lots of features Doesnt crash Good deal              Best Carb Counter App I Have Tried

Somewhat works Needs help           Mr

Is updating with more food more often There isnt enough food that is pretty commonhaving to add it is annoying but otherwise I love this app Im much more aware of my eating              The only thing I would fix

I will use this app because I have been watching carbs a while now and I know what a lot of things are but you NEED to get your amounts correct Atkins especially              get it right

Trying to sync with computer account and the app crashes every time and isnt completing the sync           Crashes when syncing

This app is absolutely terrific As a Type1 diabetic this app has been so helpful in managing my ACI I will Highly recommend it to anyone                 Carbs Control

This app touted what a large database of food and restaurants that it has I just wanted to add Michelob Ultra Beer Searched Item Not Found Really In a low carb app     Waste of 3

cant find carb countdont waste your money on thisvery hard to look up info     not so good

Very limited ap several free apps are way more user friendly     Dont bother
