It’s hard to guess the food if you’re going out for dinner, and I don’t like how you have to have a paid subscription to log scanning a barcode. Overall, it is helpful. but I wish everything was free. ### 4/5 — Latest Update *2026-08-23, version 26.33.0* I love the app, but the latest update changed the UI a bunch. It makes it more difficult to see my calorie “budget”. When finished logging, it goes to the diary instead of back to the Today view. ### 2/5 — Stop Updating the App and Breaking It *2026-08-23, version 26.33.0* Recent update now only shows you how many calories you have left until you hit your daily goal, and not the total calories you’ve logged on that day. I only use the calorie goal as a rough guide, and it’s much easier seeing the overall calories logged rather than the calories left until my daily goal. I want the app the ease, and not have to constantly do the math to see how many calories i’ve logged on any particular day. Minor change but the apps meant to be easy and convenient. frustrating when they change things every week ### 2/5 — Way better before update *2026-08-22, version 26.33.0* I am a long time paid user of MFP. Have taken an annual subscription for years. The new update broke several things that worked — you now can’t see a daily tally of carbs, fats, proteins and calories. You can only see deficits, not running totals. Why? Totally useless. The update did not fix the one MAJOR ISSUE that should be fixed: when you input your own recipe, you have to go back to the beginning after weighing and insert the weight in grams in the serving size in order for the data to work. Such a simple thing to fix — yet the new update didn’t fix it. Am seriously considering shifting to a new tracker. MFP: do better ### 3/5 — Stop changing the layout *2026-08-22, version 26.33.0* Leave it alone. You keep changing the layout. Just when I think of subscribing you change it. I’m tired of having to keep finding a country that has the OG layout. Would be great if you had a no adds subscription other than premium. I don’t need all the bells and whistles with premium. I just want the annoying adds gone. ### 3/5 — Liked till the recent update *2026-08-22, version 26.33.0* I just started using this app and they updated it and now I’m so upset! The counter was so easy to read but now it’s soooo confusing like before it would be 400/1900 and 1500 left now it’s these two other options and it’s so confusing I wish they didn’t update it or at least let us choose which one we want ): developers please I beg of you change it back ### 3/5 — Why Log In So Much? *2026-08-22, version 26.33.0* I use this app everyday. I pay for the pro version. But lately I seem to have to log in approx every 3-5 days it seems. What’s up with that??? Please fix this. It’s annoying. ### 2/5 — No longer connects to my gym app *2026-08-22, version 26.33.0* Doesn’t sync with my Technogym app so calories are always wrong. It pulls through a few step from my fitness app but that’s no good. Loads of food barcodes wrong. Good as a very basic tracker now which is a shame as it used to be amazing. ### 2/5 — Feels like UI developers have nothing better to do *2026-08-22, version 26.33.0* Feels like the UI developers are just sitting and twiddling their thumbs w nothing else to do so they put in place UI changes that SUCK without any end user testing. Bane of my existence are changes like this where product/eng thinks they are making things better and it’s 10 times worse. ### 1/5 — New update ruined my momentum!!!!! *2026-08-21, version 26.33.0* Loved the app until the new update where now the arc shows how many calories we have left. Talk about ruining someone's momentum. Everyone understood it the other way and liked it. Moral of the story is don't start liking an app because “they” will change it. Congratulations, you lose four stars. ### 4/5 — Great App *2026-08-21, version 26.33.0* Great app but please stop changing it, i feel like you guys are always changing the layout and i also get logged out all the time ?? Dont know why ### 2/5 — Does the job *2026-08-21, version 26.33.0* Good little app for tracking calories. Unfortunately most of the features are locked unless you pay but if you’re just wanting to track calories then it’s fine enough. Used this back in 2019 for a short while and have been using again to loose weight. Easy enough to navigate. Lost a star because they’ve made the barcode scanner premium, which was the only quality that made this app better than the others. Edit: they keep updating the app and making it worse and worse every time. There was nothing wrong with how it was and every time it updates I can’t navigate it. ### 3/5 — PLEASE STOP!! *2026-08-21, version 26.33.0* Dear MyFitnessPal please stop changing things everyday! All of these new “upgrades” are not only unnecessary, but annoying for users that use this app on the daily!! So please for the love of God leave it alone or even better go back to how it use to be before you started messing with it. Pretty please!🙏 ### 1/5 — New update stinks *2026-08-21, version 26.33.0* The new update is very confusing, you have to dig to find anything. Doesn’t tell you how many calories you have left in your diary. Just awful ### 3/5 — Good for tracking but… *2026-08-21, version 26.33.0* Long time user. Great for tracking, the paid version is great for scanning barcodes BUT STOP CHANGING THE INTERFACE EVERY OTHER MONTH. I finally get used to it and then things change and I’m adding things to the wrong day or trying to find a feature that was one tap away now it’s 3 taps away. FFS don’t fix what is not broken. ### 2/5 — Bring back the old version *2026-08-21, version 26.33.0* I never review apps, but I am so frustrated with the updated version I need to write this. I have used this app for years and loved it. I have tried for months with the new version and I find myself not wanting to track at all. I’m so disappointed with how un-user friendly it is that I’m going from this free app to another paid app simply because it’s easier to use. Given many people are submitting this same feedback, why aren’t you listening to your customers? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Nova atualização *2026-08-23* Nada intuitiva. Uso há dois anos o plano premium do aplicativo e gostava muito dele, fiquei muito triste com esta nova versão, o design minimalista ficou tão mínimo que não mostra as informações necessárias, que antes eram mais organizadas e intuitivas e ainda com uma fonte minúscula. Agora tem que ficar entrando em várias abas para ver o que antes era de fácil acesso, não gostei e não consigo mais usar o aplicativo. **Developer response:** Agradecemos por compartilhar seu feedback sobre a nova atualização.

The ui is awful and hard to navigate. Please fix the app ### 1/5 — An app about routine and habits *2026-08-23, version 26.33.0* Please stop trialing and changing the interface every other day. I cannot use this app that is all about consistency and it keeps changing everytime I wake up. Now the caloric intake has been changed into this crescent moon shape. And everyone I know has a different version of your interface . ### 1/5 — New calorie count is so dumb *2026-08-23, version 26.33.0* Show me both show me how many calories I’ve eaten and how many I have left don’t make me choose I don’t need an arch to show me that’s useless what a dumb update ### 1/5 — Update *2026-08-22, version 26.33.0* I am not liking the new updates. Why a curved line now? ### 1/5 — Automatic adjustment *2026-08-22, version 26.33.0* I wish this app functioned more like Fitbit: You put in a weight goal by a certain date and the app automatically adjusts what you need to do based on steps, workouts, and food input each day. ### 1/5 — Unusable *2026-08-22, version 26.33.0* The huge change they made to the app has made it nearly imposible to use it. I don’t even want to log food. I might have to move elsewhere genuinely. I miss being able to not have to click 12x times to get to see my nutrition for the day. Not being able to easily see my food for the day instead of overall meal is awful. I always get stuck trying to backtrack to the page before and it doesn’t work so I just have to re open the app. I don’t leave reviews maybe ever but holy this update has ruined the app. ### 1/5 — Leave me alone *2026-08-22, version 26.33.0* Every three clicks on the app prompts it asking me to buy premium. No. I don’t want it and clicking so all the time is very very annoying ### 1/5 — Used for a long time, ANOTHER TERRIBLE UPDATE *2026-08-22, version 26.33.0* UPDATE: Tell us who hurt you. April’s update on the UI was bad enough, I didn’t think you guys could have possibly made it any worse. Yet nevertheless here we are… It’s not like there’s not enough space on the screen to put all of the data in one place. I mean you had it that way before. The latest update from April 2026? TERRIBLE. It now takes twice as many taps to register food. Why would I want to add exactly the same meals the next day? And why do I have to tap to see everything in a day now instead of just having it show? No one wants all this AI slop. ### 1/5 — Bad UI *2026-08-22, version 26.33.0* I agree that the old interface needed a refresh, but this new one is terrible for regular users. It makes logging food much more cumbersome, encouraging people to use rival apps ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love this app *2026-08-23, version 26.33.0* I love this app because it's accurate on my weight loss journey on what I'm allowed to have every day. I can log it,and best of all it's free like, how amazing is that!!! ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2026-08-22, version 26.33.0* This app has been amazing in my journey so far. I’ve only had it for a little over a month, but the results have been fantastic. ### 5/5 — Easy to navigate *2026-08-22, version 26.33.0* I love this app. Use it daily to track macros and calories. Easy to navigate and keeps me on track. Lots of additional features too ### 5/5 — Day 1 Review *2026-08-21, version 26.33.0* So far easy to interface Apple Health. Brought over workouts by itself. GUI Is comfortable and has a good flow from feature to feature. Well organized ( by my standards) I am 57 and consider myself low tech with common sense 😃 ### 5/5 — Update ruined the app *2026-08-21, version 26.33.0* I preferred the appearance before, it seems like all the chances are getting worse when the app looked great to begin with. Now I have to get used to information appearing differently, the calories section has just changed and it looks horrid and confusing. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-08-21, version 26.33.0* It is so good and i lost a lot of weight ### 5/5 — Perfect *2026-08-20, version 26.33.0* Best fitness app I’m using this app almost 2 years & I lost 30 kilos ### 5/5 — Excelente apps *2026-08-20, version 26.33.0* Excelente apps ### 5/5 — Really helpful *2026-08-19, version 26.33.0* Iv used this on and off for a while now and it really does help keep track of my weight and the progress pics help on down days ### 5/5 — Buena app *2026-08-19, version 26.33.0* Yo tengo la sin suscripción y aún así está muy completa --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
