Issues with recipe builder

Does anyone using android have an issue with the recipe builder? Every single time I build a recipe, I add all the ingredients but when I go to submit it, I get a message that it was unable to add my recipe and to try again later. I usually have to exit MFP and redo the process all over again which can be time consuming. Thanks for any tips or recommendations.

    I’m on iOS and get that message a lot too, but I don’t have to re-do it. If I check my recipes list, it’s usually there. Have you checked to see if it actually saved?

    Yes. I check it and it isn't there. Do you know if there is a way when I am building a recipe to use my frequent food items? For example, if I am adding yogurt to the recipe and type in yogurt in the search bar, a generic list of yogurts comes up. Not the yogurt I always use so I end up having to scan the barcode. Just wondering.

    Sadly not! I frequently wish it were possible as with some items it’s taken me a while to track down an accurate entry and it’s irritating to have to do that again whilst cooking and entering stuff in the builder! 😫
