Within the last two days, the barcode scanner on the MyFitnessPal iOS app has just stopped working. I can pull it up without issue, but when I go to scan a barcode - nothing happens. Anyone else?
Tips and advice welcome.

Not sure on this one mate, I have been using it myself just today. I would suggest starting by a) make sure the lens on your camera is given a quick clean just in case, b) Try uninstalling and reinstalling the app, c) Contact customer support to see whether they have any suggestions

Common fault. Delete and re install the app mate.0

^Maybe. Mine works like a dream so far, except for occasionally matching the barcode to the wrong food, which is easily fixed, and taking a loooooong time to use. Sorry I can't offer any helpful advice!0

Nonsense, MFP techs have built in a new functionality into the barcode scanner technology. If it doesn't work, then you can eat it and it's zero calories.
How can I break mine then0
