Latest update reduced already mediocre performance even more. – Argus: Step and GPS Tracker Review

Been using this app for years for tracking my steps and workouts. Recently I started using it for calorie counting. I can tell you it is certainly not the best app for calorie counting. Searching for foods is useless. You can’t search by brand, even when a brand is entered in for that food. Also a lot of foods are wrong calorie wise, and there seems to be no way to fix that. You are able to add foods by the barcode scanner if it doesn’t come up. but only that way and since the latest update they have combined the barcode and food scanner which has made the whole process more cumbersome and slow to scan barcodes. It used to be really great and quick( when it could find that product) So if you want an app that tracks your steps, and might even give you some sort of accurate number for calories burned by moving aroubd(I don’t really know how accurate it is) then this is fine. If you want an app to track calories consumed, there are way better apps that actually have useful search features. I tried to reach out to costumer support about getting things corrected that had the wrong values, but after one Initial reply, I got nothing. As an aside, I have over the gears really enjoyed doing the step challenges with friends and family, and seeing when my friends were working out for motivation. It’s really just the calorie counting side of the app is so frustrating to use. Another thing, is autocorrect which I believe they could turn off when searching for food. If you start typing a food, and see it pop up as you are halfway through the word, you can’t click on it. Because as you do, autocorrect changes to something else and you get some random entry. Very frustrating.
