MacroFactor - Macro Tracker

I’ve been using 4 other tracking apps in the last 4 months, each had some good features and some drawbacks. But with MF I found the one that really fits me. Love the way I don’t need to track the calories I burn, but get them calculated! Right now my goal is increasing metabolism while losing fat, and seeing the expenditure rise is so motivating!
Also love the way I can record body metrics, including pictures, cause weight isn’t everything. And how cool is their public roadmap voor improving the app? Btw, here are two suggestions: Integration with a good weighing scale such as Withings and a body mapping app such as Bodymapp.
But seriously: well done so far!

I have been using the app since June 2022. It has helped me gain muscle, lose fat and right now it has gotten me in the best shape ever. I have tried other food tracking / coaching apps but I love Macrofactor. Its easy to use, gives me all the info I need and the nutrition coaching is spot on.
Highly recommend the app.

MacroFactor makes logging food fun and really easy. After a while of tracking your intake the graphs and information you get is really satisfying. The weekly check ins and changes to your plan really makes it feel like you are being coached. For these things I would give them five stars, however…
As a European user (Dutch) I find I regularly miss with the barcode scanning as a posed to my fitness pal and have to enter foods manually, which makes it harder to track micro nutrient intake as its often not labeled and takes up a lot of time in an otherwise very streamlined process.
Also, if my significant other prepares a meal and I want to copy the recipe for example, I search for a food exactly as it’s labeled in her app but the search will come up empty.
If these small issues would be resolved it would definitely be 5 stars.

This app is absolutely excellent, it is a level above other similar offerings such as My Fitness Pal and Cronometer, but it is a little pricey and I wish the devs either created a freemium version or made it a bit cheaper because even if competing products are inferior they can be free

The app is good. Its fast, built to be easy to use.
However, many of the Dutch longer barcodes (20-24) found on many fresh products from supermarkets such as meat aren’t recognized.
Please add the ability to recognize these

Once you cancel your subscription, the app completely blocks you from accessing months of data that you already paid for. This is a scam. Make sure you back up your data first if you plan on canceling your subscription!

I did not found the oppurtunity to synchronize with my Apple Watch. I train a lot and it would definitly help my algoritm to also use my activities to give micronutritient info and set goals. Too bad because even the free app Myfitnesspall support this. I would have expected this for an app that cost €80,-.

The app is promising. It is great that it adapt your daily intake of calories and macronutrients over time according to you weight change. This makes life more easy sinds I do need to calculate it myself…
But There is not much branded food in the database. I needed to put in a lot of macronutrients data manually.
