Lose It! – Calorie Counter

Lose It! Review: Free to Log, Paid to Scan and Skip the Ads

Free tier, ads and the one-time Eliminate Ads purchase

The free Basic tier covers calorie tracking, a weight-loss plan built from your body details and activity level, and community groups, according to the store listing. The same listing puts the barcode scanner, photo and voice logging, intermittent fasting, meal planning and detailed nutrient tracking under Premium. Ads fund the free version: Google Play flags them and the App Store lists Advertising among the contents. Developer replies on Google Play say the X on a trial or Premium prompt returns you to the free app, and a one-time Eliminate Ads purchase under Profile, then Manage, removes ads without the rest of Premium. Some 2026 reviewers report scanning free after a rewarded ad, so check what your account offers. Cronometer scans barcodes without limit on its free plan.

Say It, Snap It, Scan It: three ways to log without typing

The official homepage names three shortcuts, Say It, Snap It and Scan It, and the store screenshots show each one. Voice logging listens to a sentence such as an apple with two tablespoons of peanut butter. Photo logging floats name tags like egg, avocado and sweet potato over the camera view. The scanner reads a barcode and returns a nutrition card. The store listing places all three in Premium. They stumble on accuracy: reviewers describe photo guesses landing on the wrong dish, Mexican and Turkish foods going unrecognized, and entries marked verified that disagree with the label. Scanner failures reported in April and June 2026 were later fixed. The GLP-1 tracker logs medication and shows estimated levels; it is a log, not medical advice.

Annual-only Premium, Lifetime and a 35-day refund window

Developer replies say Premium is sold only as an annual subscription, so there is no monthly option. The US App Store lists Premium purchases between $9.99 and $79.99 across several price points, plus Premium Lifetime at $49.99 and $59.99. Prices are regional and promotions change them, so check the current price in the app. The terms refund Google Play and web subscriptions within 35 days, leave Apple purchases to Apple, and mark every Lifetime purchase non-refundable. Free trials bill automatically unless canceled, and uninstalling does not cancel anything. Paying members still see partner and GLP-1 offers until they switch off promotions under Profile, then Application Preferences. The data price is separate: the App Store label lists contact info, identifiers and usage data as used for tracking.
