Pros and cons of Cals & Macros FREE app for iPhone and iPad

Cals & Macros FREE app good for

A neat and quick way for numbers when looking for that consistent loss of weight.
Pros: -lets you tweak your macros to your specific tastes -lets you differentiate between workout/nonworkout days with different calorie and macro goals -easy to understand visual data in the form of pie charts and graphs Cons: -limited database; basically have to input all your own foods. Overall: the pros FAR outweigh the cons. Lovely app to use on the go
a must have if you are closely monitoring your intake. It has various setting of activity choices for the day that way you can change your RDI according to your specific day.
It crashes whenever I try to make a new plan category and choose the summary tab... So much for trying to organize my carb cycling but still an amazing app!

Some bad moments

Theres no gender choice so the calculations are automatically wrong for half the population.
The calorie recommendation is ridiculously high for me (a woman) since there is nowhere to choose your gender. Pretty much garbage
Easy to use. Not many variables. Adding options like wanting to gain muscle, loose weight, lean up etc would make this app better.
Wish it had a intake tracking system to help hit your daily goal ???
This app is very limited in the information required for input. No settings for age or height. Im a slender 60 year old man. This app would have me consume almost 74% of my calories from fat to maintain or gain weight!
I am eating a paleo-type diet, and didnt want an app that tried to grade my food choices - since they invariably use a scale suited for a grain-based diet. I know Im eating the types of food I want to, and just needed a good way to track calories and macronutrients. This is perfect for me. Only thing that would make it better is a version without ads!
