App has been broken all day

Some glitches

The AI camera is not very accurate and it does not have a flash. Also, the app does not correctly measure fiber.

It would also be nice if you could go in and edit ingredients photo instead you have to delete it and look up the item you’re looking for and then put in the correct amount.

Overall solid app.

Pretty good app. Helps a lot but premium is stupid but at least unlike most apps, the free version isn’t overly restricting.

At goal weight

Now that I have reached my goals I would like to MyFitnessPal, however, I don't see where to cancel in the app. HELP!

Weak app

Used to have barcode scanning, now an in app purchase. Everything else is in app purchase too.

Gpl-1 pill

Wish there was an option to log the weight loss pills not just the shots

Good

It’s very helpful. I wish I could edit my recipes when I remake them with updates instead of redoing the whole thing and putting the new version number

New Update Causes Long-time Subscriber to Cancel

I’ve been a long-time subscriber, but this update has made the app significantly more cumbersome to use.

I don’t like that I can no longer see my goal tiles on the dashboard. Being able to quickly see how much protein and fiber I’ve consumed each day was an important part of how I tracked my nutrition.

I also don’t like that when I’m logging food, the most recently added food no longer drops to the bottom of the list. If I want to adjust the quantity of something I just logged, I now have to go back into the appropriate breakfast, lunch, or dinner tab to find it.

Another major frustration is how much less accessible my remaining daily macros are. I shouldn’t have to click in and out of multiple tabs just to see what I have left and make adjustments to those last few calories of the day. It makes the process unnecessarily cumbersome.

Overall, this update has made something that used to be quick and intuitive feel like work. I now have to spend more time in the app to log the same meals I was able to log much more efficiently before.

For an app centered around making nutrition tracking easier, this feels like a significant step backward. After being a long-time subscriber, these changes have made me reconsider my subscription. I will not be rendering the subscription in the subsequent year if changes are not made to made the user experience more intuitive.

Poor UX/UI

Ads block ability to “view more results” when searching for food entry.

Use chronometer

Use chronometer lets u scan for free and has more accurate information on calories. This app charges too much lol

Good app, a few fixes would make it great

The main issues I would like to see improved:
- startup time is very long. Even with good network connectivity the app almost always takes more than 30 seconds to start. This is by far the biggest issue.
- the app should work when not connected. Obviously, no access to the food database, but previously logged entries should be available and it should be possible to log more as long as the item was logged previously. Keep in the past few weeks in local storage would help.
- it's hard to make sense of the calory target adjustments done based on activity data, especially with multiple sources (Fitbit, Garmin, Apple Health). I mostly ignore the target due to that.

Great app ruined by new interface

Have used app for years and it was great. Unfortunately it’s now become much harder to use accurately because of a bad update that made the interface awkward to use. I’ve lived with it a while to see if it was just me needing to adjust. But unfortunately it just isn’t as functional now as an app. Shame.

New Update

The new update is horrible, bring the old layout back please 😭

Used to be great!!

Used to love this app! However the latest layout update is not user friendly - big adds less information - also not connecting with iPhone health app which have my recorded steps - used to work perfect until the layout change update. Have checked all settings etc and still not working.

Switched back

I have used this app before and loved it. From the recipes to the tracking to the unbelievable food database.
I recently had Bariatric surgery and I was using a specialized app. However, it just wasn’t up to the task. I came back to MyFitnessPal and made it mine for my situation.

Terrible Interface

Really dislike the updated interface. Much more fiddly to log your meals/foods. Don’t you have UX people to be able to tell how terrible it is now. The app has been going downhill for years now. Every change has not been an improvement. I’d give it no starts, but the App Store requires at least a one star rating to leave a review.

MFP - MakingFitnessPainful

Every update they seem to take away longstanding features that were real quality of life features for users.

They have taken away the ability to copy whole days over. It’s not like they’ve taken away the ability to copy entirely, so it’s possible to have that. They know people want this from a lot of recent feedback but choose not to.

Why take away feature instead of building on what exists?

Great app

Great app , the selection menu is extensive and it is user friendly

Can’t log in

My password will not work. Tried to reset it but that won’t work. Have used app for many years. Don’t want to lose all data.

great

normally a great app! i’ve just been having issues with the calorie counts. there’s a bug showing that stuff is 100k-200k calories and then when i log it it shows 0 cal. i just started a GLP-1 and would love to use this app!
