Cronometer: Calorie Counter
doubtful ratingThe most nutritionally detailed free food tracker available, covering micronutrients alongside macros and including a web version. Loosely connected to fasting as a practice.

About the rating
Store average of 4.77 versus text average of 3.9 with pct5 at 60%, a moderate gap. The app is genuinely valued for its micronutrient depth, but recent updates have degraded search and slowed the interface with ads. Some five-star ratings look like inertia.
Strengths
What users love
- The only free tracker that breaks down not just macros but micronutrients (vitamins
- Minerals) with per-meal detail. The barcode scanner recognizes almost everything without a miss.
Weak spots
What users hate
- After a recent update
- Search surfaces branded products above generic names
- Turning a simple query like 'banana' into a multi-step hunt. This breaks the core fast-logging use case.
Who it is for
People who want full control over their diet with a focus on nutrients rather than just calories, and who are not looking for a dedicated fasting timer.
