I am on Android but they have a similar app for Apple....

Calorie Counter, by FatSecert, FatSecret iPhone and iPod Touch Application - Calorie Counter, I was doing really well with this before the wife got prego. I was down almost 50lbs, the barcode reader is awesome a must have IMO.

Having been through most of the different apps, this is the one that I liked the best, and have started using again since I am trying to get back on the diet kick.

Did not like:

The only 2 I can think of are the one for the bodybugg and weightwatchers, both were just not good IMO and it has everything to do with no barcode search.

BTW, if you want to lose massive weight, eat like a king and not have to cut calories, check out MarksDailyApple.com
I've been eating Paleo for 6+ months and love it. Just now getting into the exercise part of it now that my weight loss has plateaued. Haven't been this lean since I can't remember when... middle school 25 years ago?
I was using the above app just to check on my carbs.

CalorieSmart. 4.5 star rating. $1.99. I've been using it since January and like it. I do wish they would update their food database though as there hasn't been an update since I've had it. It's still very comprehensive though.

I loaded MFP yesterday (again), and I'm finding that its database is more comprehensive than CalorieSmart so I'll be using it from now on.
