Pros and cons of IIFYM Macro/Calorie Calculator app for iPhone and iPad
IIFYM Macro/Calorie Calculator app good for
I love this! The UI is pure and navigation is simple. A quick and easy way to determine calorie intake and macros.
Ive been using IIFYM to calc my macros for a few weeks now and its proven to be the best Ive tried so far. Its simple, easy to use, and really accurate. Props to the developers for using real Harvard data for the calculations. Cant recommend this app enough.
I am finding this app quite useful as it allows for a quick update of my weight to then calculate my TDEE based on that and my desired goal. This makes it very easy for m to then update My Fitness Pal.
Im not quite sure what all the complaints are about as the app does EXACTLY what it says it states it does: It calculates your TDEE (and suggested macro intake). Nowhere does it say its ALSO a place for you to log your intake, etc. It perfectly compliments apps such as My Fitness Pal, which does not calculate TDEE.
The people who are complaining that they didnt get what they (thought) they paid for actually, indeed, DID get what they paid for.
That someone did not bother to look, before purchasing, at the description of what the app does only has themselves to blame. Its not the fault of the developer.
Some bad moments
It is just a calculator! You can do it for free... I expected to track my macros with this app. It is worthless!
Thought it was a tracker but is only a CALCULATOR. I already knew my numbers!
I thought this would also be a tracker. It is not. I just calculates an estimate for you.
All this app does is let you calculate your macros. It doesnt actually count calories, track meals or anything else. I was disappointed, but at least the calculator is more adjustable and easier to use than others I have found.
Do not buy this app. Its a complete waste of $2. I calculated my macros from iifym.com and thought this would pair nicely to easily track my macros. Unfortunately thats not the case at all. The macros on this formula were way off from the website, it wont let you enter your body fat % even if you happen to know it, which I do, and you cant change the macros yourself. Totally bogus.
I cant believe I paid for this! You can get a macro calculation online for free! This app only gives u a calculation. As soon as u close it, its gone and u have to do it again when u open it up again....whats the point?????
