What's new in CalorTracker

Release notes for the CalorTracker app, newest first. Each entry lists what changed for you, in plain words, and only what we can trace to the code that shipped it. Small fixes and behind-the-scenes work are left out.

The date is the day the version was prepared; Google Play rolls a version out to phones over the following days. These notes cover the Android app for now. For changes to the food database, see the food database changelog.

Android 2.0.4

Logging by voice or text can reuse meals you have eaten before, and a few rough edges are smoothed.

  • Say or type "same lunch as yesterday", "half of last night's lasagna" or "my usual breakfast" and the app logs the numbers from your own earlier entries instead of making a new estimate. The review screen shows which items came from your history.
  • The meal plan wizard has a switch, "Base meal ideas on what I usually eat". It is off until you turn it on.
  • Smart Insights now looks at the meals you logged, not only the daily totals, and can name the meals behind a pattern.
  • Health sync on Android counts your band or watch rather than the phone's own step counter, and "Sync now" reports today instead of a month of steps.
  • Short confirmations now rise from the bottom of the screen, are more compact and go away when you tap them.
  • After you subscribe, the app shows a confirming screen and a success message.

Android 2.0.3

Pepperly can answer from your whole food log, and the app asks before sending data to Google Gemini.

  • Pepperly, the in-app coach, can look up what you ate on earlier days, such as last Tuesday or how often you have pizza, and not just the last week's totals. Free and trial accounts reach back seven days, Premium reaches the whole log. There is a daily message limit that resets each day.
  • Before an AI feature sends your messages or food log to Google Gemini, the app now says so and asks. You can withdraw in Settings under Privacy and AI.
  • Planned batch-cooking meals: the macros shown per portion now add up to the recipe's ingredients.
  • On build 39 and later, only Google Play's own review sheet asks for a rating, so the older rating dialog no longer shows beside it.

Android 2.0.2

Google Play's review sheet.

  • After you have logged meals on a few different days, the app may show Google Play's own review sheet. It never asks while the app is in the background, and no more than about once every four months.

Android 2.0.0

Health sync stops counting the same activity twice.

  • Health sync no longer adds the same activity twice when a phone and a band, or two apps, both write it to Health Connect.
  • You can pick one app as the source of your steps and activity calories. Automatic stays the default.

Android 1.9.9

Onboarding, limits and error messages that told people the wrong thing.

  • Onboarding asks about your diet before it calculates your plan, and the measurements step has a Metric and Imperial switch. Units are now guessed from your time zone first.
  • If something fails to save while you are offline, the app now tells you. Server errors show as sentences instead of raw text.
  • You can drag the chat button out of the way. It settles on the nearest edge and remembers its place on that phone.
  • A failed payment drops you to the free plan, not below it, and Premium subscribers no longer see a scan counter under "unlimited" scanning.
  • An updated Subscription page.

Android 1.9.8

A shorter way in: see your plan first, confirm your email later.

  • Onboarding shows you your plan before it asks who you are.
  • Signing up signs you in straight away. A banner asks you to confirm your email, and confirmation becomes required after a week.
  • Streaks stop counting days on which nothing was logged.
  • The app refreshes its data when you return to it, instead of showing frozen numbers.
