Look for something more stable!
I paid for the subscription. And guess what, around 1 to 2 times per month, this app is broken. It might freeze right after you make a photo of your food, it might tell you that scanning was not successful, and you start attentively to type all the food with weights you ate, but guess what? Right! Scanning is not successful! Useless thing that makes you stressed instead of helping you stay healthy!

DO NOT SUBSCRIBE!
I started a free trial and used it for a day and the calorie tracker seemed to work just fine so I jumped onto the “promotional” opportunity to subscribe for a year for $14.99. Then very conveniently the bar code scanner has yet to work on any barcode since. I’ve messaged support and they didn’t have any helpful resolutions besides waste more time sending them screenshots of an app that doesn’t work? Please save your money and use any other app besides Calz.
iPad app subscription doesn’t give iPhone access
I both the subscription for $39.99 on my iPad and when I want to use this app on my iPhone the app asked me to pay again. I sent an email and they said that the subscription purchased on my iPad won’t carry over to my iPhone so I have to pay again if I want to use my iPhone…. Unacceptable this is theft!
My Nutrition Data
It’s surprising that an app focused on calorie and nutrition tracking doesn’t share that data with the Apple Health App. Most people expect to use that information across multiple apps to get a full picture of their health. Adding this integration would make the app far more valuable and practical.
Do not buy
Does not work!
Barcode scanning is bad, entire app is bad
Trash copy of others
Barcode scanning is not accurate.
Often comes up with random items.
Can’t search for foods.
Can’t change unit of measure on the fly
Big stupid cartoon in the middle of the screen
No macro tracking
Just a gimmicky app

Not accurate
Not accurate at all and the editing doesn’t save. Very inconvenient and not at all what I was expecting
Didn’t work for me
It never guess my food correct. Grilled nuggets at Chick Fil A were fried pork once and then finally grilled chicken but way more calories than they are advertised as on Chick Fil A’s menu. Dinner was so confused with a simple small tenderloin steak and cauliflower.
Won’t allow a calorie surplus.
Originally I put in that I wanted to gain muscle, put in my current weight (120) and my goal weight (135). The app kept telling me “losing” 15 pounds was an excellent goal. I tried switching my goal to “gaining weight” which still told me I was losing weight. Both options put me at 1500 calories, which is absolutely not sustainable during a bulk. Very disappointed.
Not happy
You can’t manually enter information and the scanner doesn’t recognize everything
Watch the ounces
Woks good except if you change the name of an item like white bread to whole wheat bread the amount changes drastically. Example would be if you take a picture it tells you the the white bread is 3oz, then if you correct it to wheat bread it moves the amount to 30oz. Very frustrating.
Not accurate
Not accurate at all have to modify a lot in my own
Comentario:
La app no vincula la actividad física del día ni el gasto de calorías
Nice idea but lots of bugs
Buttons often stop working.. right now I can’t manually add calories because the Continue button doesn’t work.
Directions
Can’t find how to use the app anywhere. Can’t find a manual. Can’t find videos.uggh
Missing something…
Do I not have an updated version? I live a very busy life, like most, and have only been using the “purchased” app a few days now, but how do you log something you missed after the fact? I’ve googled (Cal AI) and it’s like I’ve got a generic app because the instructions are not the way the app reads.
Buggy
I like the app and doing the 3 day trial but when I close the app and go back in it gets stuck and you can’t click on anything. Then I have to close the app and open it to move around the menu. Trying it out for one more day before I get charged.
