Comparison
I am new here. I can tell that this app will take some getting used to. I used to use my fitness pal. For anyone that has used both. Which one do you like better?

I used MFP a couple of years ago to lose 40lbs on Keto with a FitBit and Renpho scale.
Worked well.
Now. I started with Cronometer a few days ago because I need to get back on a diet (gained about 25lbs back due to complacency) and found that MFP put the QR scanner behind a $20 paywall.
Research on alternatives brought me here and I am thrilled.
This app beats the ever lovin' crap out of MFP. It's faster - rocket faster - and easier to put in my recipes. It shows more info - MFP has ALL micronutrients behind their paywall - and it's been a snap to learn how to run it.Overall I would recommend this app highly and MFP VERY lowly.
Let me say that I used MFP for a year and really liked using it and the results. I've recommended the combination of MFP, FItBIt and Renpho to many people, but won't going forward.
Cronometer is MUCH superior to MFP. IMHO

I'm using both at the time. I want to use Chrono for the micros and nutrition, but I'm still learning, so I'm keeping mfp going until I get a little better and it gets a little easier here.

I've used Noom for several years and had success, but whatever nutrition calculator they use, often seems off. Chrono is very accurate and complete. I've yet to have to input nutrition values from a container. I also love that it talks to my Fitbit. Uploads all important Fitbit data and downloads nutrition data. Before finding this app, I tried MFP but it lacked the macronutrient data. I've cancelled Noom and I am loving this app.

Ive been on MFP for 10 years but switched to Cronometer about 3 months ago. I like it here much more.
