Secondly, whoever is in charge of Cronometer probably learned coding in 2 months from online tutorials- which is not bad, just not good enough to charge money for. Take a look on the support forums if you don’t believe me. Absolute garbage at handling questions, feature requests. Customer service/ support team is probably founder’s extended family/ friends or just unqualified for the job. Firstly, the team is downright incompetent. Since they expanded and grew, the made poor choices along the way. I’ve used this app from its early browser days- excellent since then at what it does. Also, I feel this is one of those concepts that was amazing in the beginning and went downhill in time.
Cronometer gold review update#
Within a few hours, they corrected some products that had incorrect vitamin data and I was able to update my diary and see the changes before the day was over, which is important to me because I want to make sure I’m getting the recommended daily value of micronutrients in addition to the macros. Their customer support has been great when I reported incorrect nutrition information in their database. We don’t have a need for the other features offered in the gold plan, so the price is a bit too high for us to consider two subscriptions just to send a recipe to save one of us the time of typing in the ingredients. this app doesn’t support subscription sharing which is something I would purchase just for sending my saved foods to my partner. The other drawback is that you have to subscribe to share recipes. I like that information in an easy format on my apple watch. I’d pay for the gold service to get information on my watch since no apps track the vitamins and micronutrients as well. One is the lack of an apple watch app/complication.

There are a couple draw backs in the free version for us. I recommend Cronometer as the best app for micronutrient tracking. My partner and I love Cronometer, we use it to track our daily intake and plot it against recommended values, in particular vitamins and nutrients that other apps don’t check. I’ve never written a review on an app before but as of yesterday (after using Cronometer for only two weeks) I am on track with my weight where I should be at 20 weeks pregnant and I couldn’t be happier that I found Cronometer! Thank you for making something so easy to help people track their diet for whatever purpose they choose!! I’ve been using for two weeks and have only had one item that the barcode didn’t recognize. The copy and paste feature is perfect and the barcode feature is fantastic. It tracks the important stuff that I need to make sure my little man is getting everything he needs! And it’s soooo simple! I’ve created recipes with my daily shakes and was able to scan in all my vitamins. It’s absolutely perfect! It takes into account that I’m pregnant and let’s me adjust how much weight I want to gain per week if I want. At 18 weeks pregnant I was not gaining enough weight still so I searched for my own app and found this one. Unfortunately, Cronometer they had me using was clunky and not very intuitive. I needed more protein in my diet so I started eating meat after being a pescatarian for a year. I’ve always had a low BMI and after getting pregnant consulted with a nutritionist. Thank you for this wonderful app, I am so glad to have found it! This is an especially great app for those who are familiar with tracking macros and want something simple but it is just as easy to use for someone who is just starting out.

Honestly, I could go on and on about all of the reasons why I love Cronometer but what I love most is that it is simply a place where I can track my foods and it’s not full of a million unnecessary bells and whistles. It allows you to scroll through past days or to drag/drop foods if you need to organize your entries. The diary is great Having it right below the targets is really convenient and easy to read. I absolutely love the barcode scan feature. The search feature is amazing! The database is extremely large and I’ve had zero issues finding the foods that I’m looking for. The last app that I used did not have this feature and it is so helpful to be able to visualize my vitamin and mineral consumption. Also, having the Micronutrient breakdown is a huge bonus. I was also able to manually enter my own Calorie/Macro targets which is great. I love the Energy and Macronutrient target bars, as they are very easy to read (nice color coding and I like that they are bars and not circular graphs). This is the best macro tracking app that I’ve ever used and I’ve tried many of them.
