What people write

Great but AI can be wrong. When you take pics of your food, it’s good to make sure the AI is reporting your calories correctly. It thought my 155 cal bagel was 500+ calories based off the pic I took, so just be careful! Otherwise it’s fantastic and very helpful and I love my raccoon
