MyFitnessPal is one of the most popular fitness social media apps. It helps keep track of daily food and beverage intake, calculating all nutrients, calories, and vitamins. This enables you to analyze patterns and find out what your diet is missing or where you need to cut back a little. The app has a few major issues (with switching to the Premium account) and many minor bugs (malfunctioning subtitles, non-responsive buttons) that can be easily fixed.
