Calorific - What do calories look like? App Reviews

The concept is simple. Pictures show you how much 200 calories are for various foods. Makes your "guesstimate" a little more accurate.

What a ruse! There were hardly any photos. Very disappointing...

Im very disappointed with this app. I payed $2 for absolutely no variety of food. I was so excited to use this app as a reference guide for food portions and to help me with over eating, but anytime I search a certain type of food its 9/10 not there. Ive also had this app for a little while now and they still have yet to update the food selection.

I cant even buy the rest of the pictures! Theres a bug that greys out the keyboard when I try and purchase the other images, by preventing me from entering the password to my iTunes account.

I would pay to have the ability to change the calorie count! 200 calories is not a motivator. People need to see their 2000 calorie meals!!

I too cannot purchase pictures. The search screen takes over the iTunes pop up.

I read some reviews about the accuracy, like the one about the 1.5 oranges. If you actually READ the amount of grams, it said 431g I believe. If you actually look up the calories of that specific gram amount, it is indeed about 200 calories. Maybe they weighed the oranges with the peel (as the picture shows), so maybe they got the incorrect visual amount because of that. I feel this app is very well done!

What is the size of the plate? Seems important if the whole app is using scale to guide you.

This is very helpful for visual learners! I notice many European foods are listed; we could use more common American options, too. I appreciate being able to visually compare volumes of different foods with the same caloric value. This is a useful app for retraining my estimations of what Im eating!

First off, the calorie content is extremely inaccurate. For example, it says two and a bit more potato is 200 kcal, whereas in fact 1 common potato is about 110 kcal. There are also very little food varieties. The plate size is unidentified. Even to the same food, different variation could vary a lot in terms of their energy. I so regretted paying money for this app. I mean I like the fact that you make it very vivid and visualized, but there are so many errors and potential improvement that couldve been made.

If the calculation is accurate then this is a GREAT way to figure out how much you are eating. Need more verity though so please add more!
