Calorie Counter: Tap & Track

I’ve been using this app for over 15 years. I used it for the first few years I had it and then I’ve used it daily for almost two years. I do not like the functionality of the new version. I understand making the app appear more updated, however, the functionality of the app is extremely hard and confusing. I’ve always recommended this app to everyone who’s asked me about a good tracking app. However, I can no longer do that. This app is confusing and is not easy to navigate, as its older version was. A lot of the restaurants that were in the older version are hard to find in this new version and may not even exist. Also, the portion sizes are much more confusing. Whereas the old app would tell you in the description if a slice of pizza was from a medium size pizza or a large size pizza at your favorite restaurant chain. I wish the creators would go back to the layout of the old app when it comes to the menu screens and searching for types of food. I’ll hold on for a little while longer to give them time to change things, but if things don’t change soon, I’ll be looking for a new tracking app.

Great app but I am surprised they have not included some basic sports like boxing. I am also confused when I search for an item like banana it brings multiple results with one being of a different size or portion but when I search bananas (with an s) it brings up the one and has in it a way to select size and number. It happens to other search results and may get confusing. It's just a minor organization and consolidation issue. Also not enough using if measurements. Finally, I'm not sure, but I wish there was a units converter in app to help if a product has a different unit than what the app offers like almond breeze milk servings is in cups but in app it is in fluid ounces.

Edited for 29th Oct 2014 update: It seems like the update has ruined the search-as-you-type function such that it doesn't allow you to find common foods anymore. To solve this, you need to turn off the search-as-you-type function and all will be fixed. You can find this under settings. This will solve the problem of being unable to find regular foods. My biggest problem with the new version is that it now looks wonky on my screen as opposed to the way it was before. But I'll keep using this for the functionality and because I have 5 years of data on it. Sure it's not as fancy as MFP or Lose It, and sure it could do with updates to the food database at least once a year, but it's pretty solid and works offline and generates cool graphs and trend data. Old Review: I use this app daily to monitor my calorie intake, weight, and exercise activity. It's also a great mobile calorie count app because on the iPod Touch, it works offline i.e. Doesn't require a wifi hotspot. The calorie count library is pretty extensive but there's always room for growth. I've had this app for about 2 years now and I can say that the developpers have updated it a lot since then and added more foods and menu items to the library and generally improved the app. So I am ever hopeful that they continue to do so. But this is an awesome app, better than most of the others available (I've had like 3 including Lose It, so I'm not just saying so)...
