About this app

Kalova is an AI calorie counter: snap, speak or scan your meals.

Snap a photo of any meal, say what you ate, or scan a barcode. AI identifies each food and estimates the portion; when a food matches USDA FoodData Central, calories and macros are calculated from USDA values, and anything without a match is marked as an estimate. You get a per-item breakdown you can edit in a tap.…

Arithmetic on the stores' own published rating counts. It says nothing about why the ratings fall where they do.

Store update history

Each store’s release notes, as the developer wrote them. They are the developer’s words, not ours.

App Store

Version 2.5.0 · 2026-10-24
What's new in Kalova: • Premium now costs much less, with a simpler plan screen that shows exactly what you pay. • Your calorie target now adjusts itself each week, based on how your weight is actually moving. • Log a repeat meal in one tap: "same as yesterday", saved meals, and your usual breakfast. • Kalova remembers your corrections. Fix an item once and the next scan gets it right. • Type the exact grams for any item, and add oil, butter or sauce right on the result. • Editing or deleting a meal now updates Apple Health too. • The whole app is now available in 11 languages. • Many fixes for layout, dark mode and stability. No account. No ads. Your food log stays on your iPhone.

Method and limits

What this report can and cannot show

What a missing label means

Not yet tested. No analysis has been published for this app, so there is no method to describe for it yet. A missing label is not a clean bill of health: it means nothing has been read, not that nothing is wrong.

Limits of this report

  • A package scan is static. It identifies code and text in one Android build. It does not measure a live ad session, test a deletion request, or count the steps needed to cancel.
  • Reviews keep their sample. A review-only charge shows distinct reviewers, the share and the sample size, and is published only once it clears that label’s published threshold. Calibration labels are machine-drafted and not yet confirmed by a person.
  • Not assessed is a state. It is never a zero and never a pass.
  • A missing label is not a clean bill of health. It means the evidence did not support one, not that the app is problem-free.
Not yet human-reviewed. A human review gives an app hands-on, recorded measurements. None has been run for this app. Hands-on inspections are not yet open.
