App: MyFitnessPal

1-star reviews:
content: This app does not work on Android. If the app even loads, you're left looking at a blank screen. I've been having to use the web browser version on my phone, which is not modified for mobile use....probably because they want you to use the app. Very annoying and inconvenient. Great program if they'd fix the issue for the app.
content: I use this app back in 2011. The app is now riddled with ads and the best features are hidden behind a paywall. PayWall is quite expensive. I was really disappointed to what the app has become when I returned in 2024.
content: Unable to Login with SSO
content: Im 74 had 5 strokes and 4 brain bleeds. Myfitnesspal i can't understand it. Please I want to cancel. I. Don't understand that either
content: to many pop up to buy stuff
content: Your APP only understands Metric. Not Imperial Measurements I E: Feet / INCHES / Pounds / Gallons / OUNCES, ETC.. I DON'T SPEAK METRIC.....!!!!!
content: App is brilliant but there are too many large ads on the app. Makes the experience feel like hot trash.
content: Log in with google account doesn't work.
content: The amount of data that you share is inexcusable.
content: Worst app I have used many apps of fitness and think this app is good but it doesn't let me login or sign up

2-star reviews:
content: UPDATED Review What's wrong with this app. I've had it for years & now it's asking me to sign in almost every time. It's annoying. Please please fix this bug. Thanks _________
content: Overall the app fulfills its purpose, but there is a very annoying flaw that made me give it a 2: The barcode scanner is awful. It can scan for 30 seconds or even longer and still not return any result. Also, there is no indication of the fact that the barcode is recognized, and product info is searching. This is very annoying and infuriating! Please fix the scanner, and add indication for the states: - barcode recognized - barcode recognized - product information is being searched by code
content: Calorie tracking is great. The fact that I have to login everything I use the app is not
content: 19.99 a month is too much for basic calorie counter
content: The android app is laggy and not customized for Android OS. The app is lot better in iOS.
content: App doesn't update to website. However the website is better because you can update the food log, include your exercises, keep track of your water intake, and don't forget the access to recipes.
content: it does what it's supposed to do, but it's clunky, doesn't have good interface, hard to enter portion size, or make changes
content: Give us free barcode scanning. It used to be free.
content: Apps auto signout, I need to sign in and accept the tnc every day. How to fix this?
content: Dropping another star because of AD OVERLOAD. Now full screen ads pop up over the app on top of the ads inserted everywhere in the app. If you're that desperate for subscribers, make the price reasonable instead of exorbitant. App issue: when I tap on either of the "Steps" info blocks to see details, it takes me to "Weight" details every time. 😞 I've used MyFitnessPal for over 12 years. It's quite good. I splurged on premium for 1 year, but the price is too exorbitant to afford every year.

3-star reviews:
content: I wish we could scan without going premium.
content: Don't love the changes from a few years back. I don't like that everything is now extra money.
content: changes are not user friendly
content: Recently app keeps logging me out for no reason which is really annoying.
content: Used to be better.
content: I miss the scanner option. The free option. Overall, I love the app
content: Update is cool and all, but why take away the use of the barcode scanner for those who aren't premium members? It kind of sucks since it's such a helpful way to add food to your food diary. Especially when other apps let you use it for free.
content: Frustrating Stopped connecting with samsung health after a few months which had happened to other people i know. Really frustrated because I'd been enjoying it!
content: The free version, like all apps, has become slowly enshittified (it's a real thing, look it up.) Basic functionality that used to be free (like scanning barcodes to add food to the diary) is now locked behind a subscription. I can't speak to the experience as a subscriber, but the free version is more like a trial version. I'll be looking for a more accessible free app.
content: Okay for tracking calories etc but very annoying that I have to sign in every time 🙄

4-star reviews:
content: slighty obtrusive ad structure but honestly fair for free it seems
content: took off star because UI feels cluttered. Most apps like this are just for weight loss, so I really appreciate that this has a weight gain option as someone who's underweight and trying to eat better.
content: the widget has started recently crashing requiring to log back in...BUT before this week I would give a 5 star
content: Solid app for food tracking used premium for a year to track during a defeciet. Sometimes, there are too many right or sim options for food for cal and macro tracking that are not branded and cause confusion but navigable. A little annoying with making recipes and custom foods but useful. Also aftet hitting a goal on a cut then changing to up the weight in a bulk it keeps saying I hit X% of my goal but doesn't register in relation to new goal, should bugfix that.
content: All is great, but I cannot figure out how to log my exercises. I can add them but not log them to my day.
content: I would have rated it 5 stars, but they took away some of the capabilities and now it's only available in the premium paid version 🙄.
content: the bar code could be part of the free,
content: Almost perfect. I feel the older version was way easier to navigate but the fact that you can still look up all your foods and log them in with the nutrition facts readily available is amazing. On top of all this being able to adjust my macros accordingly is a pretty handy tool. Might just have to go to premium :)
content: The weekly nutrients/calories view is buggy, it shows nutrients data and calories for the next week even though no food has been logged, I don't know where it's getting these numbers from because if I switch back to day view there is nothing there for the next week.
content: Detailed analysis of a nutrient isn't accurate. When I click on sugar, it displays the protein values instead of sugar.

5-star reviews:
content: Love it
content: Best tracking app! Very easy to use. If you aren't tracking, you're slacking 😁
content: Great tool!
content: awesome
content: This app is great and I love using it, however I signed up for a free month trial. I would like to subscribe monthly however the only option is to subscribe for an entire year and I can't do that. If I can't subscribe monthly I will have to delete the app :(
content: Amazing app for keeping track of my calories and macros. Premium worth the cost too!
content: Really easy to use.
content: Easy to use. Incredibly convenient. Able to track all my calories easily
content: Combined with their website, MyFitnessPal is the ultimate nutrition & exercise tracker. It's free, it helps you set goals, and the social aspect of having "pals" to keep you accountable is REALLY the perfect tool. But you have to really want results and be willing to make changes and track honestly if you want results. The success stories found in the community/forums are like an emergency kit to motivate you and give you ideas. Update: using since 2015,on and off. Worth paying sub for.
content: Awesome Tracker, especially providing Macros
