Yo, ho, ho, and a bottle of rum! Ahoy there me lads and lasses! Your favorite app pirate is here again, ready to give you another review of an app that you might be interested in. In our previous review, this old salt told you that me and the crew are using the treadmill to walk even while sailing. We’re targeting at least 10,000 steps a day and so far, we’re all hitting our goals! Har, har, har! We buckos are in our fitness era. So, aside from counting our steps, we also know that what we eat plays a huge role in our health. That’s why we also decided to count our calories, and I found this app that I would like to share with you. Batten down the hatches and let me tell you more about the app called Journable — AI Calorie Counter by Journable.
It’s straightforward and it does the job
This app is simple to use. It does what you expect, which is to count your calories, so it meets the needs. Compared to other apps that seem complicated to use, this is perfect for those who are after convenience as you’ll learn how to use it instantly. The user interface is easy to navigate as it’s intuitive. You don’t need a guide to use it because a short time of exploring will make you immediately familiar with it, especially that the words are easy to understand as they are common terms we usually encounter, and nothing rocket science. Moreover, it easily lets you do your entries by either typing what you eat, uploading a photo saved on your phone or taking a photo of it using the app. It immediately shows the calories of the food and how many calories you have left so you can stay on track.
It’s free for only limited entries
You can download the app for free, and it offers 20 free entries, but after that, you will need a subscription to use it as you will not be able to enter new entries. But that’s good enough to give you a feel of how it works, so you can decide if it’s for you or not. There are various subscriptions available, including the monthly and yearly subscription, and they are affordable, so considering its performance and convenience, it’s worth it to pay for the app. As of this writing, the cost of an annual subscription is a little under $13.00 and the monthly is around half the price of the annual, so it’s more practical to go for the annual subscription if you’re really decided on using the app and you don’t mind paying for a fee.
It has other helpful features
Besides counting your calories it also has other helpful features like setting your daily target calories so it will show how many you have left, thus avoiding going over it. It also has a weight and water tracker, which are bonuses if you are serious about tracking your overall health. Other features include showing the macro nutrients, analyzing your foods and giving an overall information about the components of the food you eat and how they are helpful to your body..
The good
It has free entries and it does the job as expected. It’s easy to navigate and intuitive so you’ll easily find your way around. It also has other features that support your overall health. Although it comes with a subscription after the free entries, the options are affordable, considering how the app works and its convenience.
The bad
There are only 20 free entries and you can’t enter more once used unless you subscribe.
The verdict
We highly recommend Journable — AI Calorie Counter for those looking for a calorie tracker that’s easy to use. It has a simple user interface so getting used to it and navigating is simple, making it perfect for all types of users, even the non-techhy ones. Although it only offers 20 free entries, it’s enough to experience and tell if it’s for you. In case you decide to pay for the subscription for unlimited use, the fee is minimal so it’s easy on the pocket and it does the job, plus offering extra features without being complicated.
