Tap and Track has a million things that it does correctly. The selection of foods that can be added to calorie counts and workouts that can be added to exercise counts is fantastic. The offline database is huge, and there is an option to add foods and exercises that are not included in the stored information. There is even a section on restaurants, where you can calculate for meal's intake based on how much of the portion you ate. This is a great addition, because almost no one finishes restaurant meals.

In addition to tracking calories, Tap and Track provides a full nutritional report on your daily intake of fiber, sugars, fats, carbs, sodium, etc. The game also recommends a healthy 40:30:30 ratio of carbs:fats:proteins, and graphs where you stand on that pie chart. You can use the app to track your weight over a period of time, which is a nice option. You can also alter the recommended calories by opting to eat up to 200 calories less than recommended, or up to 2000 more, depending on your metabolism.

So why am I slightly disappointed? After putting in my information, the automatic setting told me that to maintain my weight, I need to eat just over 600 calories a day. 600 calories is below the starvation limit, and certainly not what I'd recommend for a woman my size. Offering such low expectations isn't healthy, and women can be impressionable! Another disappointment is that there is no "healthy weight gain" option for those people who may need that - only weight loss. Not everyone is looking to lose weight; some just want to be healthy. Finally, there should be a way to track nutrients going into your body as well. Aiming for 40% carbs means nothing if they're not vitamin rich vegetables and rather potato chips and pasta!

It has a few kinks that need worked out, but if you know how many calories you really need per day, this is an excellent way to track them.

Overall impression: 6/10
Value for your money: 8/10
