How About We Don't Delete Newsfeeds
I don't fully get why it needs to be shifted to the communities tab where you need to re-add people on your friends list to continue getting the same content that's already readily available?
-
Barcode Scanner
Requiring a premium membership to use the barcode scanner is a very bad idea in my opinion. I've been using my fitness pal long before UA bought them out. I'll tolerate some level of advertisement but not eliminating the barcode scanner and placing full page ads occasionally on the app. No, I'm not going to purchase a…

Search and Sort in my Recipes
I have 5 pages, and growing, of recipes I've entered. My wife experiments with new recipe ideas and our meal kit delivery service always has something new that I get into my food log by entering their recipe. Recipes end up in My Recipe Box in the order they were entered, so it can be easy to forget what's there and slow…

Stop "fixing"‐ what isn't broken
The new UI you've just dropped is horrible. I've used this app on and off for a number of years now and it's getting progressively worse and worse. The continual nagging to buy premium, making the UI less user friendly with more flashy graphics etc is just unnecessary. Given the fact I didn't download an update as well, I…

Added sugar
MFP needs to add an "added sugar" category instead of just total sugar. I see this has been suggested many times before.

Recipe search function
Hello, I would really like a general word search function on the recipes section to save me trawling through loads of categories to find what I want, e.g. search on banana for recipes with banana in, this would save lots of time 🙂

Dark mode - especially for community boards
Would be nice to have a dark mode while browsing the community boards. There is dark mode for the diary…

"My Pantry" section for saved foods
I often find myself searching through much of my history just to find one item that I had several days or even weeks ago. I'm always worried that it will fall off of the "recent" list and then I'll have to do lots of searching to find it again. It can be difficult to find my regular known items -- the ones that I actually…

Bring back multi add
Bring back the multi add feature!! The new update is terrible, nothing adds to your list when you select the plus button

Ability to set the Diary tab as my default "home" screen
Currently, the app seems to default to the Dashboard tab. If I switch to Diary, then go to another app and come back, it won't change. But if I leave MyFitnessPal for a while and come back, it'll open to the Dashboard tab. I'd like to be able to set the Diary tab as my default. I prefer the day view because seeing what I…

Forced new look
Please allow users to revert to old look of app. I hate when you are forced into a new look and without giving permission. Some people really struggle with technology and I find this has really stressed me out.

Track daily servings of fruit and veggies
One of my main health goals is to improve the number of servings of fruits and veggies I eat each day. I would love it if MFP would show and track that number (i.e. 3 servings of fruit, 4 servings of veg, etc.) Of course I can look at my diary and calculate it myself for a given day, but I'd find it more useful and…
-
Fasting
I am glad that they brought Fasting into MyFitnessPal. I have been doing intermittent Fasting for a while now and would love to see 18/6 and 20/4 included in the options. I would also love to have the fasting feature on my Home Dashboard.

Forum Change
Please undo your recent forum changes. It looks awful and cheap, and is so much harder to navigate. Or at least give us an option to use the old layout instead.

Advertising tactics are causing a negative impact on your app
Full page ads being displayed when tracking food has caused genuinely awful user experience. I have zero issue with MFP making money from ads, it’s fully understandable, but when it makes tracking your food a hassle, something that’s already difficult for many people, it’s off-putting and uninviting. The app has also been…

REMOVE ADS THAT HAVE SOUND
So I'm sitting in a meeting at work. Opened MyFitnessPal to log my breakfast when suddenly it switched to an ad that was about a bra. And it had SOUND. An excited woman talking about how great her bras are. THIS IS COMPLETELY INAPPROPRIATE. I cannot tell you how disappointed I am that you have added ads with sound. It…

Take a photo to autofill nutritional information - Feature Request
It seems like there's a lot of nutritional entries in this app that don't match the nutritional info on the packaging - even those linked to the barcodes. Why don't you just add a way for a user to take a photo of the nutritional info on the package and have it OCR this information and automatically populate it? That would…

Show added sugars
I would like to see added sugars listed as a separate line from sugars so I can track how many added sugars I am consuming in a day

Just delete the user entered database of food, and put it out of its misery.
It is frustrating at best, and useless at worst. You can type in a product name, get 100 variations, and every single one of them is wrong. You find one that at least has the right calories, use that, and the macros are wrong. So then you end up manually entering your new variation of the food anyway, adding to the mess…

Add water history log
It would be beneficial for all users who track water in MFP to be able to see a history log of your water, like the time you logged water and amount logged for a certain day. Multiple times I’ve thought I’ve logged water when I didn’t or vice versa (because life happens). Having a log to review in MFP would help with that.

Water saved to Apple Health
Please consider separating fluids into their own category, estimate the actual water content and import into Apple Health. Look to the Apo Water Reminder for a model. Dislike having to use another app to track my water consumption.
-
Clean up/remove duplicates ++ food listings
Please consider doing a thorough cleanup of erroneous listing information and duplicates (sometimes multiples +++) of food listings! I find it is such a chore to have to confirm all stats every time I enter a food I am eating/have consumed. Please, please clean up the listings!!!

Transparency In Company (and App) Direction
This is absolutely in response to the email that just arrived - at 3 PM my time - about the barcode scanner being switched to a paid feature. What the actual heck? In my time using barcode scanner apps, and so on, I've never once had to pay for that feature. It's practically a basic feature, built into all sorts of apps,…

Calorie Density Indicator
Did you ever think of adding a calorie density indicator? Calorie density was developed by Barbara Rolls, PhD. She called it Volumetrics and wrote a book by the same name. Its basic assumption is that a nutrient-dense, calorie-dilute lifestyle will lead to healthy, permanent weight loss. This approach recommends consuming…

Calculate a Serving "Size"
Greetings, Nearly all recipes you find are quick to tell you the number of servings a dish was designed to provide, but they never tell you just how much a serving is, whether in standard or metric units. Maybe MFP could have a bit of code that helps calculate this information based on the amounts of the ingredients in the…

Friend streaks
I realized the old newsfeed is dead...but having a place to see, like, and/or comment on a friend's streak milestones like we had in the newsfeed would be great.

Scan nutrition labels
It would be nice if the app let you scan nutrition labels. Some foods, and pre-made meals do not have a barcode, but they all have nutrition labels. The app should be able to read those labels.
-
Alphabetize Recipes
It would be helpful if the recipes were listed in Alphabetical order on the web version. It is awkward scrolling through all my recipes when trying to find one to reproduce. Or even if they were searchable on the recipes page (I know they are alphabetical on the food diary). And I don’t use the app version.
