Terms
Last updated 15 August 2026
CheckCal is licensed, not sold, under Apple's standard end user licence agreement, which applies to every app on the App Store: Terms of Use (EULA). The notes below are the parts specific to this app. Where the two differ on anything material, the EULA governs.
What the app is
CheckCal estimates the calories and macronutrients of food from a photograph, a barcode or what you type in, and keeps a record of it for you. It is made by Dobreon sp. z o.o., registered in Poland.
The estimates are estimates
This matters enough to say plainly. Reading a plate from a photograph is approximate, and the weight of a portion is the least reliable part of it — that is why the app shows you what it judged each portion by and makes correcting it a single tap. Treat the figures as a useful guide, not as measurement.
CheckCal is not a medical device and gives no medical advice. It does not diagnose, treat or prevent anything. If you have a condition affected by what you eat — diabetes, an eating disorder, kidney disease, an allergy, pregnancy — talk to a clinician and do not make decisions on the strength of a number in this app. Calorie targets are produced from a standard published equation and are a starting point for a healthy adult, nothing more.
Subscriptions
- Without a subscription you get three meal photographs a day. Barcodes, manual entry, the day log, weight tracking and Apple Health are free and stay free.
- A subscription removes the daily limit on photographs. It costs $29.99 a year or $4.99 a month in the United States; other currencies are set by Apple's pricing for your region and shown in the app before you buy.
- The yearly plan starts with three days free. It renews automatically at the end of each period unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends, and your Apple Account is charged for renewal within 24 hours of the period ending.
- Manage or cancel in Settings on your iPhone, under your name, then Subscriptions. Cancelling stops the next renewal; the current period runs to its end.
- Purchases are handled by Apple, so refunds are too — request one at reportaproblem.apple.com. We have no ability to issue or reverse a charge.
Fair use of the photo estimator
Each photograph is a paid request to a model provider, so “unlimited” means unlimited ordinary use by one person. Automated, scripted or bulk use of the estimator is not permitted, and we may rate-limit or refuse requests that look like it.
Your content
What you log is yours and stays on your device. Photographs you send for estimation are used only to produce that estimate and are not retained — see the privacy policy. We claim no rights over them.
Availability
The photo estimator depends on a third-party model and on our server, and neither is promised to be available at any particular moment. Barcodes, manual entry and everything already logged keep working offline.
Liability
To the extent the law allows, the app is provided as it is, and Dobreon sp. z o.o. is not liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from its use. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law, and nothing here affects the statutory rights of a consumer in the EU or the UK — including the right to a remedy where a digital service is not as described.
Governing law
Polish law, without prejudice to any mandatory consumer protection in force where you live.
