★★★★★ "It's super inaccurate, and a lot of the time it's nowhere near the actual kcal. I tried to use it for 3 days, but unfortunately, for me, it just doesn't do a very good job, even for simple meals. Unfortunately," - Aaron Jackson

I hardly used this app and canceled after the trial period and never used it again. Yet they have continued to charge my account for months now. Stay away from MacroFactor and avoid using Google playstore for subscriptions. They make specially tricky to know what subscriptions are still active.
Never trust an app that does paid advertising. 100% a scam signal these days.
why do I need to sign up for a subscription just to test the app. I'm not fighting with automatic payments in subscription cancellation dates. scam. and then you have the gall to survey my ux experience on the uninstall. shameless.
loved the app but unable to make it work in graphene OS if the app is installed from the aurora store, is failing something with the google play services
advertises as a "free app with in app purchases" so I assumed there was a free tier but no. you go through putting info in and pay wall. "7 day free trial" is not free. app is useless
I can't even sign up. it's in a loop
made me sign up for 20 minutes then hit by a paywall just to use the app at all. why is it a free app if you can't use it for free?
I just started, and you want a review before I use it?
App was fine until they changed it recently requiring a Google account to use it. MacroFactor touts its privacy posture and how it doesn't sell your data, but now it's forcing people to have Google accounts in order to use it which means I have to give up my privacy anyway in order to use the apps. I won't be renewing my subscriptions and move to other apps unless they fix this. l put in a request, but who knows if they'll actually do anything about it.
charged me $80 instead $11. I wanted the monthly subscription but Google is so greedy they charged me for a whole year instead. now I have to call my bank for a refund because they don't do it.
Never got to use the app. I spent 20 minutes answering personal questions only to get blocked by a pay wall before I could even see the actual app. There's also AI generated content, if I have well understood, and there's no question whatsoever about specific diets, expect for keto or health problems. Uninstalled.
It's super inaccurate, and a lot of the time it's nowhere near the actual kcal. I tried to use it for 3 days, but unfortunately, for me, it just doesn't do a very good job, even for simple meals. Unfortunately,
easy to use and track progress. The process of updating calories ezch week has been helpful. The app has been unstable for the last 2 weeks. Just freezes. have had to install and uninstall multiple times since early May.
Great app but uses play integrity for no reason If supressing the chrcks the app stops working, it periodically checks and if blocked it just doesnt do anything anymore until it passes and gets a valid token again. This is a paid app with account binding, you can check if I paid via my account, there is no reason to tap into google play integrity, its not like this is anonomous spoof payment situation.
I'm not really sure what this app offers. I downloaded it but until you tell them your full life story and all your personal information, you can't even....Just look.
This is cool and all but I just wanted a calorie tracker. I neither need nor want some coaching program.
love the features.. what I dont like is , what is the point of this app. and a PAID service, if you cannot log and **SAVE your days intake in confidence. Very discouraging to Active/busy folks. We dont have time to keep tinkering with the app and hope your weekly log was recorded and saved accurately.
