Missing decimal point in Progress on weight since update

LouiseCatarinaJones

Since the latest app update my Progress screen showing my weight is rounding up to 1lb, whereas previously it displayed to 1 dp.
I can still enter weight to 1dp and its clearly still got the data in there, as in my profile current weight is to 1dp.
Just the Progress display.
Really annoying!!!
Any fix yet?
Thanks

I noticed this today too. Is there a fix?

I want to add my weight including the decimal point as I've done for years.

I've emailed support, nothing back yet. Maybe good to email them too, hopefully they will prioritise it if they get a few complaints

I got a reply just now - it's not a bug, it's a deliberate change:
"Thank you for taking the time to share the feedback. We are going to share this with the team who will continue to catalog this feedback. At this time the new expected behavior is that they round to the nearest pound."
Please email them to say it's a rubbish change!

Will do! I object to things being taken away with no notice. At least give us the option to have rounding on or not.

Do they not realise that its motivating if weighing yourself often when you see it go down, even if only 0.2lb.

I've just sent this.

Hello,

I'm a very long-term user (11 years!) of MyFitnessPal with a Premium subscription and have been generally pretty happy with the app.

However, I would like to complain that weight now rounds to the nearest pound.

My scales weight in tenths of a pound. It's very useful as I track my progress to see the changes. Seeing that I've lost 0.2lb here or there helps with motivation.

Could you please disable rounding, or at least give the option to enable it.

If some users don't want to use tenths of a pound, they aren't forced to so I can't see the logic being the rounding being added?

Thanks,
Daniel.

I had a similar reponse:

I found a fix,
write down your weight with a decimal point in any text editor (for example the note app on iPhones). Copy the number from the editor. Paste it into MyFitnessPal.
It works like a charm!
