| 2024-12-15 |  | | I've been using carbon for a couple years, and it has been good up until their "fraction" update. Instead of showing the number keyboard for entering the amount of food, they show the default keyboard, so you can use the / character to enter a faction and it will do the division for you. This is a pain for daily data entry and yes, I could show my number keyboard with 2 clicks, but that is adding more work. Cancelling for a competitor who uses the number keyboard ☺️ |
| 2024-09-01 |  | | Great app for tracking calories, but it goes beyond that. It gives recommendations based upon weekly check-ins which will adjust your calories according to your activity level and metabolism. This really helps to push through past plateaus. And they are always trying to improve and even have a Facebook support group which is great. |
| 2024-08-14 |  | | Have had it for a while great while it works, I constantly get logged out and have to uninstall my app. I'm reaching out to support and they just have me uninstall the app. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't but im paying $10 a month for an app that partially works Updated to 4 stars after carbon reached out. They're giving me a couple of months free for the issues and looking into it. Don't find that service or dedication much around anymore and is appreciated. |
| 2024-08-07 |  | | 3 months of using the app combined with increased activity has helped me with my cut and lose 20 lbs! I am going to maintaince now and using the app to keep me there! I love this more than my fitness pal because I'm not tempted to use "calories burned" through exercise to eat more (trackers are often consistent by up to 93%) and I can adjust my calories up for when I go out and it will automatically adjust the upcoming days. Really great app! |
| 2024-07-26 |  | | I've been using the app for about a month so far. The check in thing is cool and I feel like the macro targets are really spot on for me. The only annoying thing is the food search is pretty bad. Like, I will type the exact name and it won't pop up. To the point where searching for certain foods is a pain, and it discourages logging food... which is kinda the whole point. So, if they could make that better then I would probably keep using it. But at this point I will probably go back to Lose It! |
| 2024-07-25 |  | | UPDATE: I still use this daily. Out of curiosity, I tried a competitor (RP) and this is far superior. The flexibility and ease of use of Carbon is unrivaled. I want a quick, easy to use app to track - this is it. This is an excellent app that far exceeds the competition that I have tried in the past. What separates it, for me, is the dynamic calorie/macro recommendations based on your weight and goal. I have lost weight, gained, weight, and maintained weight using this app. I highly recommend. |
| 2024-07-14 |  | | This app is easy, simple, & efficient. The user interface is very well done, I can add my foods, create my recipes, & find restaurant foods quickly, & easily. I'm 59 yo, I'm doing intense strength training, and I'm able to manage my weight gain very effectively with this app, without it I'd be as fat as a Thanksgiving turkey LOL. |
| 2022-06-16 |  | | Overall the app does two things very well and one thing is fairly confusing: 1) amazing interface and visibility for overall goals and progress, daily goals and progress and even showing macros by the meal is fantastic. 2) forcing protein/lb bw (and letting carb/fat be the adjusted slider) is very conducive to weight loss The Downside) The check-ins make no sense to me. It can clearly see when I miss or hit all of my macro or caloric goals, yet it still sometimes makes wild (or no) changes |
| 2022-05-12 |  | | I love the functionality of the app and how it is all set up. However, how can you put a product out in the market, charge top dollar and out of 10 products I scan, all of them have the wrong nutritional information?!?! Dr.Layne and team, please fix this, it is annoying and frustrating. Get a better database to pull the info from. Edit: more food items are being included but still, sometimes you acan an item and something else shows up. Overall, not.bad 8/10 |
| 2022-04-13 |  | | I love this app! It has been life changing. Previously I was paying for a coach & MyFitnessPal. This gave me the option of both and for way cheaper! The app is extremely easy to use. And it takes out all the guess work! Granted it will take a few weeks to learn your body. But I love how much control you have. From picking the macro split, to adjusting your calories throughout the week, this thing does it all. The food log has a huge selection and adding food/recipes is super easy! Just get it! |
