FS is the best calorie tracking ap with a corresponding web portal that I love. The BIG problem is the lack of reports. FS needs to provide some basic reporting capabilities while they are working on their expanded reporting. The web portal and the iPhone ap keep me loyal to FatSecret while I hand write my food diary and nutrient breakdown to give my nutritionist each week! Other sites are cumbersom or slow.

I had the Motorola Cliq (traded it in for a BB Bold reasons I won’t go into), and the barcode feature was awesome and really responsive, certainly much faster than manual entry. I really miss that on the BB version.

Ratnok, thanks for the comment. That’s true — I should had mentioned the bar code scanner. However, I hear it is a bit slow for the app to search its barcode database — wonder if it takes longer to wait for it to search vs. just entering it into the app.

You forgot to mention that on Android, Calorie Counter includes a barcode scanner that will automatically download nutritional information from the foods that you select, avoiding the need for tedious manual entry of nutritional data or product database searching. Blackberry’s app does not have that feature.
