User Reviews for CARROT Hunger

A week in and I love it!

I used another calorie counter app but had issues with it constantly sending me spam emails and logging me out of my account. Not an issue with Carrot. Another app I used would only log calories so I missed out on the nutrition logs in my health app. Carrot logs both calories and nutrition info AND because it connects with my health app, it knows when I complete a workout. Last but not least, if I go over my allotted calories, Carrot shows me more ads. Lol. I can pay to remove all ads but there is nothing more frustrating so I leave it as a deterrent. My only complaints are that a couple of times Carrot didn’t know what food the barcode I scanned was and there isn’t an option to create an entry and have it connected to the barcode. Also when I searched for fresh foods to enter (I made a fruit salad) it wouldn’t calculate the tiny portions (5 grapes, .25 apple, etc). The foods were in the database but when I changed the serving size, it wouldn’t record the new calorie count. Overall I love it and will keep using it.

Love it! & A Year Later I Still Do!

I love this app. I love that it's so very easy to use. I have used it now for over a month and my clothes are falling off of me. It's so easy. You choose what foods you believe are healthy. Carrot keeps track of your calories and allows for exercise to give nice payoffs. I did not like that Weight Watchers would give me one point or 2, and I felt cheated. There is something about seeing that "you just earned 330 calories human." The sense of humor keeps me from taking it too seriously. When I want a cheat day, I enjoy lying to Carrot. It's half the fun. Not for those who are offended at being called a meatbag with a pie hole.(A Year Later)Okay, so I started Carrot a year ago, and I still come back to this app. I'm still so skinny and good looking that people think I have a high metabolism with all the food I eat. I eat carbs. I eat veggies, fruit, meat, and I love Carrot. If this app is ever taken away, I will be very sad! She has gotten even snarkier. I love writing things in my diary to see what crazy things she is going to say.

Love at first, but over time it's eh.

At first I loved this app, now I semi enjoy it. Once the funny comments get old, you realize this app doesn't do much. I also bought the exercise one, and these 2 apps don't talk to each other. So if I do a workout on the other, I have to manually input it on this calorie counter one. What begins to irk me are how little they give you for a few bucks... After the snarky robot comments cease to be funny you start to notice all the opportunities they use to try to nickel and dime you. So your initial purchase gets you funny comments and bare bones features... Ads still exist (another $4 to remove them), and they intentionally make the calorie/exercise input harder to accomplish (pay another $2 to be able to tap once to auto input frequent items). In the end, you'll end up paying $8 for what the app should be from the beginning. Even just $5 from the start would be better than their money grabbing in app purchases all over the place. All these 5 star reviews are probably people who haven't gotten tired of the routine yet.

changes are seriously needed

first of all, I do like the idea of a robot that tells you things you need to know. I myself love robots. However, with this app, some serious changing is needed. For one, please stop with the constant demand for money. I understand that developers have to make a living to, but you really should not pester people so much to buy what you want us to buy. Also, we don’t need to Pay 10 bucks or more just to get the basic essentials of the app. number two, there are other kinds of diets out there rather than just calorie restriction. There is no way to track your carbs on this app so you can’t do a ketogenic diet if you want to continue to use this app. I myself am trying to focus on carbs instead of calories. I got the app in hopes that it might have actually changed a little bit since the last time I used it. Well, I am very disappointed. I think your robot needs some heavy reprogramming. You shouldn’t have to pay that much money and if you want to track either calories or carbs, that should also be a thing. I appreciate your work and trying to help get people healthy. I am sorry if I’m ranting and raving so much, but I’m very disappointed in the way this is turning out.

Can’t get past profile set-up. Help!

I really want to try this app! Love the concept, challenge, and sarcastic delivery..or at least I think I would, were the app to allow me to start using it. Unfortunately, during the first minutes of answering the basic questions gender/height/weight/age/activity, the app stalled out and wouldn’t let me enter anything for activity level. Nor would it allow me to go back, nor forward. It just shows a little avatar standing on a platform pathetically huffing and puffing her slouchy shoulders up and down waiting to find out if she represents a slacker or an athlete.. I have emailed to ask for app support to solve the glitch, and sure hope to get it resolved! This app looks like fun and also I’d like to try the Fit and the To-Do apps as well!So here’s my update:An hour ago I wrote the above review after emailing app support for help. A few minutes ago, I tried it again presto-bingo it works like a charm! Thank you and I already love using this app..and alive already bought the Carrot-Fit app and done my first workout!🏋️‍♀️

Suggestions

I love CARROT, but do have a bit of a wishlist for new features. Firstly, she really needs a water intake tracker/reminder function (with the ability to set water goals for each day in addition to calorie goals). Second, while the simplicity of the diary is somewhat nice, one feature of other diet apps I've used that has been really helpful previously is a recommendation of caloric intake per meal. This would probably require CARROT's diary to be split into sections within each day (breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack usually) so that the recommended intake could be placed alongside the title of each meal. This recommendation would also need to change based on calorie goals, intake earlier in the day, etc. It would also be nice if CARROT talked a little more, only because she's so amusing I always wish we could have a conversation. But other than these few items, I think CARROT is a great app and will definitely keep using her.

Helps me stay on track, but needs updates

I would love to give this app five stars, but it hasn't been updated in nearly a year and a half, and it lacks some important features. For example, there's no way to build meals you eat regularly. I have a protein shake made with protein powder, powdered peanut butter, and coconut water almost every day. It would be nice to just save that combo and be able to access it instantly without having to reenter every ingredient every time. Same goes for the meals I eat regularly. It's a hassle to enter every ingredient in a meal you cooked and then try and figure out how much of that ingredient you had; every meal.Also, a surprising number of foods are not in the barcode database. I recognize that keeping that up to date is a monumental task, and not even up to CARROT, but it is still frustrating.While those things annoy me, this is still the best tracker I've used because the robotic banter keeps things entertaining and I find it motivating to get to come in and be belittled by my CARROT overlord. What does that say about me?

When she's bad, she's good

I have been using a photo diet journal to record my food intake. But CARROT is better. She makes snarky comments when calorie intake gets higher than she deems appropriate, and I wouldn't recommend her to anyone with an eating disorder. But using this app is like having someone always looking over your shoulder, questioning your food choices. When paired with the CARROT exercise app, both CARROTS will comment on your foot intake - and believe me, the diet app is by far the nicer of the two. The exercise app will say things like "Why don't you just eat the kitchen sink, too?" whereas this app will become deeply disappointed and appoint a robot to hunt you down...wait, maybe that makes her the evil one...anyway, if it's tough love you seek, CARROT is the perfect snarky foodie companion. If I were to criticize, I could wish there was a way to declare a pre-designated cheat day, and that I might get positive comments about some food groups, like veggies, while the rudest comments were reserved for high-calorie treats - but CARROT takes the perspective that a calorie is a calorie, and since that's apparently how my body sees it as well, I'm not complaining. She's the helper I love to hate!

2021 review

Lets start by saying, Carrots weather app is very impressive, and while I’d like to blanket say the same here, there are many things which need fixes/updates to be a recommendable modern app:-Nutrient overviewsAs of right now the app is only focused on calories, which makes it extremely limited in its usefulness, despite having further details on the deeper pages for each individual diary item. A nice way to implement this would be to have the data displayed on the home page with progress bars or categories, as well a visual representation on your “future self” after multiple days logged, with the “future you” getting fatter or slimmer in response-Carrot intensityThe bot right now is quite timid compared to its weather counterpart, and could use a lot more aggression, with user permission of course and possibly profanity like in the modern weather app-Visual updateThe app doesn’t currently match the new weather app in terms of brand identity-iPad visual supportCurrently the app is limited to an iPhone view, which can be fullscreened if only in the vertical orientation, for which most iPads are running the keyboard these days and even in vertical it doesn’t pad to the edges but leaves black bars and is blurry from weird scaling, even on the pro model-iOS / iPadOS widgets for adding food or your “future self” noted above, even the carrot AI encouraging a bit coy would be niceWill check this app again in a year

Carrot is Sassy

I would definitely recommend this to friends who have the appreciation of sarcasm she gives, but not to friends who don't. She has definitely worked in making sure I don't make her angry, and how it interchanges into the workout app is nice. The tracking is nice, but trying to track homemade meals can be a pain. It would be nice to create recipes and then enter in servings from a whole meal built for multiple people. Other then that, the app reminder really works sense she sends 10 at a time, I am glad they come at once though. As it would be very annoying if they all came separately. Something nice to add would be nutrition info, not just tracking the calories but getting informed on how healthy the calories are. Overall a very entertaining app, that keeps me motivated into keeping track of calories I've eaten. Also helpful, as in two weeks I have lost 2.5 pounds.
