New to CC, whats the best app to track calories?

[Applepie]

Hi everyone, I have just decided to try CC. I have been on and off WW and SW for years and although I have got near to goal with both, since the weight has crept back on, I have swapped between the 2 and never had much success sticking to them.
I have decided to scrap them both altogether and try CC, something I have never tried before.

When I thought about it, it seems so much more straight forward, its so easy to see the calories in something rather then having to work out points or syns.

I would like an app to check calories and track them throughout the day but I'm not sure which is best. I did try Nutracheck but after realising there are free ones out there, I can't see the point in paying.

As there are a few, I wondered which ones people here have tried and which ones they find the best?

Thanks very much, I look forward to getting to know everyone on here

I think I once joined My fitness pal just to look up something I couldn't find the nutritional info for when I was working out points on WW, I didn't really look at the site properly and didn't even realise there was an app and diary etc. I think it just came up when I googled nutritional info for the particular item. Thanks very much, I'll go check it out now!

Definitely agree about MyFitnessPal. It's almost too easy - the database is huge, the barcode scanner is fab and then for those of us who live to cook from scratch the recipe calculator works out the calories per portion.
