Corrections
How we correct mistakes, and every change we have made
We test apps, run numbers, and write fast — which means we will sometimes get something wrong. When we do, we fix it in the open and log it here.
How our corrections policy works
When we learn that something we published is inaccurate or out of date, we correct the page and record the change in the log below. We distinguish between three kinds of update:
- Factual corrections — a wrong fact, price, or claim is fixed.
- Data corrections — a measured figure is revised after re-checking our testing data.
- Clarifications — the underlying test was right, but our description of it was unclear or imprecise.
Minor copy edits (typos, broken links, formatting) are not logged. Substantive changes to a score, ranking, or factual claim always are. When a correction changes an app's score or rank, we say so explicitly on the affected page.
How to request a correction
If you believe something on this site is wrong — including an app maker who thinks we have misrepresented a feature — email corrections@calorietrackerguide.com with the page, the specific claim, and any evidence. We aim to respond within five business days. Methodology disputes can also go to methodology@calorietrackerguide.com.
Corrections log
Newest first. This log covers substantive corrections from 2026 onward.
Best calorie tracking app for weight loss (2026)
Updated the 90-day cohort retention figure for one app after a re-check of our logging exports, and clarified that retention is measured on day 90, not as an average across the period.
MyFitnessPal review
Corrected a pricing line that listed an outdated monthly Premium price. The current price was verified in-app and the figure updated.
How we test (methodology)
Clarified that barcode hit rate is measured across 600 packaged products, not 500 as originally written. The underlying test was unchanged; the description was wrong.
