Review: “Users are able to keep track of their caloric intake, as well as exercise. In addition, the exercise is included in the amount of caloric intake, so that people can see a direct correlation between exercise and caloric intake. ”

Review: “I’ve recommended ‘MyFitnessPal’ to so many people, I should be getting a commission from those guys. It is a great app. After I started using it, I saw the most dramatic improvements I have ever seen in my physique. Of course, the app only provides the info ... the commitment to use it and change your diet has to come from you. But it has been an absolute godsend. I don’t really use it any more, because I have learned how I should eat, but this app was my mentor. I love it.”

Review: “ ‘SparkPeople’ is all right. But, lately, I’ve really been into ‘My Fitness Pal’. Huge database of foods, not obnoxious, doesn’t send me emails dozens of times a week, and I can be as social or antisocial as I want.”

Review: "MyFitnessPal helps me to see how much fat is in foods in restaurants (I have trouble digesting high-fat foods because of my Crohn’s disease). I have used many more health apps, but this one [and two other I have recommended to this PatientView survey] are the only ones I felt like were worth the price, or I found myself using in the long run."
