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…

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.
-
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
-
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 🙂
-
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…
-
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.

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…
-
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.
-
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,…

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!!!

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…

Dark Mode Support
Please add dark mode support. It’s easier on the eyes, uses less energy and extends battery life. Thank you!
-
Show date thread was started (restore this feature from the old boards)
Before the update, the boards would show both the user that started the thread and the most recent comment, both dated/timestamped. Now, it still shows those usernames, but only the most recent comment has the timestamp. It's common on several boards to see users asking the same questions over and over and over (how do I…
-
Restore top bar navigation aligned to MFP Home
The new layout essentially extracts Community out of MFP. I can't toggle between Community back to my Food Diary and have to have separate browser tabs to check community and update my food diary (computer access). Would prefer if top bar navigation (Home, Food, Exercise, Reports) was retained when user is in Community.

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…
-
End time on intermittent fasting
Please at an end time to the in-progress intermittent fasting tracker. I don't always start my fast at the same time, often don't remember what time I started the day before, and having to do the math is annoying, especially when adding that time should be really easy code.
-
Bariatric option
It would be nice to have an option for settings for Bariatric people. Ones who’ve had gastric bypass or sleeve and those specific goals and nutrition goals . Add in supplements and vitamins needed .
-
Total Added Sugar for the Day
It would be awesome to have a break down of sugars or at least total added sugar under day view in the nutrients tab. I see where the individual foods will have added sugar content, but when you look at nutrients for the day it only shows overall sugar and not added sugars.
-
Interface with smart kitchen scale
It would make life so much easier if MFP cooperates with a smart kitchen scale.
-
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…
-
Improve Quick Add Feature
I think that you should be able to add everything to quick add like you can when you add a food, like fiber, sugars etc.
-
Thread Ignoring
Currently, posters have the option to ignore all posts from specific users. (Or at least the option existed prior to the recent upgrade...does it still?) I recommend an option to allow users to ignore specific threads: the thread thereafter will not appear in the list of available discussions, the user will not be notified…
-
Added Sugars
I am trying to manage my sugar intake and appreciate the Total Sugars feature that your app has. It would be great to have a subcategory for added sugars and have a value that appears on my dash board so that I can monitor my daily intake. This is a value that already appears on the nutritional information box for most…

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…

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…
