Who reviews calorie counting apps at The Calorie Counter Standard?

Every review and ranking at The Calorie Counter Standard is signed by a named reviewer and a named editor. Each reviewer owns a specific protocol from our CCS methodology; the editor reconciles the dual-reviewer scores and signs off on the composite. The people listed below do that work.

How does our editorial team review calorie counting apps?

Every app review at The Calorie Counter Standard is owned by two named people: a reviewer who runs the protocol and an editor who reconciles the scores. The reviewer is the person whose name appears on the byline. The editor signs off on the final composite before it goes live. No app is reviewed by only one person, and no score is published without dual sign-off. The full breakdown is on the methodology page.
