About the rating
With textAvg 3.18 and 42% five-stars, there are suspiciously many five-star reviews without specifics ('I hate to admit I like this app', 'Keeps you accountable', 'Let's see how it goes'), while criticism systematically points to AI errors of hundreds of calories.
Strengths
What users love
- The idea of photographing a plate instead of manually searching for products is convenient for low-effort tracking.
Weak spots
What users hate
- Recognition accuracy is too low for real dietary control — the margin of error can reach 800 kcal per meal.
Who it is for
People who only need a rough sense of balance rather than precise counting
