I wonder if this will change anything....

Yeah, a company that can't master basic word-based ingredient searches doesn't really seem like they're ready to take on logging food from a picture.

But they can put it in the user marketing as a feature, and include the users who sign up as a consequence in the registered-user count when selling ads. 😉

Even better, they took the search algorithm that was working pretty well and made it worse.

Looking at the examples shown for picture logging, it looks similar to Google Lens. Wonder if they are tapping into that API?

Net carbs and take a picture of your food to log it.

Oh, man - thanks, hadn't noticed. I gotta try that one. Given what I eat, it could be hilarious.

Still iOS only, which may be why I hadn't noticed, so I can't play with it. 🙁

I got an e-mail announcing this new feature. It had a little video. In the video, they scanned a nice piece of baked salmon with some other ingredients and what looked like some kind of deliciousness on top. The app correctly interpreted that it was salmon, but just salmon. And just one ounce of salmon. It was a decent four-ounce slice of a fillet. I am curious to play with it, so maybe I'll do a free trial of premium again some time.

Or not.

I've replaced an ambiguous line from a recipe with an exact database entry, and the initial ingredient match will reject it for something random, but when I again enter the exact database entry after the "matching" is done it will suddenly recognize it.

As far as I'm concerned, the only useful part of the Import recipe feature is the link to the recipe and the thumbnail.

Is it too early to blame Francisco for read threads remaining bolded instead of becoming unbolded to let you know they've been read?

(I logged out cleared cache, tried another browser, and still have this issue.)

I noticed this change today, too. Now the read threads remain bolded (like you said) but they have a slightly different shade of blue. So slight it took me a bit to notice it. This change makes it harder to identify read threads, in my opinion, so I'm not sure what the purpose is.

Ok, I can see the differences now, but only with GREAT difficulty. They broke something that was working

Read-thread formatting has been fixed! HOORAY - it is SO MUCH easier to read!

Under Armor has given up on MFP:

Do you think this will bring any changes around here?

Interesting:

"Under Armour... bought MyFitnessPal for $475M and five years later is reportedly selling it for $345M"

Well, maybe they just were successful at "weight" loss????

You do realize that WE are the product.

The only ones who are the product are the ones who pay for premium. I have and always will continue to use the free version. If the new owners charge for everything, then I’m OUT!

If you aren't paying, you are definitely the product. If they're making revenue FROM you, they're making revenue OFF of you. You are the eyes the advertisers are paying for, yours is the data they're selling.
