Carbs to Go!

I just started using this app. Pretty easy to use, but it would be great if the app I put on my iPad, updated info to the one on my iPhone. So far that is the only drawback. I couldn’t find the exact yogurt I’m eating but found the same brand with a different portion size, which will be a good estimate for me. If info would update from iPad to iPhone, you would get a five star from me.

I really do love this app. As a diabetic who is reducing my carb intake (but not going Keto), it is helpful to track my carbs to keep them lower and/or find lower carb options. This has been great. A few things that would make it even better. Suggestions/Ideas 🔸regularly update foods. I tried to add yasso frozen yogurt poppables and Yasso frozen yogurt mochi. It wasn’t found and I couldn’t update or add it myself. Also no listing for Orowheat small slice and other small slice loaves have more carbs than the selection I buy, so I can’t accurately substitute the bread I have with the listing available 🔸if you can’t keep new foods updated then allow a way to add a picture of the nutrition information label then manually enter the carb, protein, fats, or other into the user’s data base 🔸 sorting or look up by market where purchased to limit having to go through long lists of foods from markets not found on the west coast (where I live) 🔸not all breads have the option to add by slice rather than serving. Other serving sizes don’t reflect the carb count being tracked accurately 🔸list total carbs first and net carbs second (as a diabetic tracking carbs we don’t track by net carbs but by total carbs- less deceiving because total carbs affect insulin doses) 🔸consider hooking into the Dex-com app to transfer your tracking system into the DexCom events app for carb management

This is actually the easiest app I have found to keep a check on my carbs. My doctor told me not to go over 80 carbs a day, and I was lost because I had never had to track carbs, and this app has been a life saver. The major problem is that it will just stop working, and it won’t retain the history. When it works, I couldn’t asked for anything any easier to use, but when it doesn’t, I am Left dangling on what to do. I have tried other apps, but they are too complex for a beginner carb tracker - This would be worth paying for - if it would work most of the time
