How much do you trust your calorie counting app?

My wife and I use an app called Carb Manager. We got it when we were doing keto a while back and since going on various rotations of CICO and IF, we’ve stuck with it. It works well for our needs and seems mostly accurate when compared with things we scan.

I’ve noticed on a few things though, the calories are incorrect when I scan the barcode. I can choose another version, and it will be correct.

This isn’t a big problem with things I scan, as I can look, but on some things I “assemble”, like a restaurant salad, I’ve become concerned I’m consuming more calories than I’m recording.

So how much do you trust your apps? I know MFP is popular, but we don’t like it as much, and in the times I’ve compared, they were pretty much identical in numbers (but I haven’t tried with the rare things I’ve found incorrect).
