Latest reviews of Carbs & Cals: Diet & Diabetes app for iPhone and iPad
This app. Is a "must have" for any diabetic! Great tool for restaurant, where you cannot weight your food!
Can no longer download the picture. Please fix!
This app was the biggest rip off I have ever encountered. 7.99 for really very limited information. This is more for diabetics than weight loss. A dud.
I used this app one time and it was worthless. The dont even have eggs in their database. I needed to count my carb for 6 meals. This app has the ability to track 6 meals but thats about it. Waste of money and time. Maybe one day they will add to their database. Until then, I will keep looking for a carb tracker. Unless you have $7.99 you want to throw away, stay away from thos app.
I thought this would be a great electronic way to keep track of carbs while also having the ability to check calorie counts. The information failed to tell you that this app originated in the UK. The food choices are different and dont support the diet of the US. This was a waste of money for me and am still searching for something better - similar to the Calorie King book.
