Bar Code Scanner Failing More Often

tonyhackenberg

Are you seeing an increase in the failure rate of MyFitnessPal app’s bar code scanner feature? I certainly have seen this over the last month or two.

Recently, the failure rate of MyFitnessPal app’s bar code scanner has been increasing. I mainly use this app on my Apple iPhone. I’m a paid-up premium subscriber. Over the past month or so, the percentage of failures has climbed. Even some food items that it used to bar code scan fine now fail to scan!

Ironically, this increase in the failure percentages of bar code scans appears to coincide/correlate with MyFitnessPal’s policy decision to only provide the bar code scan feature to premium members. Since I pay their over-priced fee for this premium tier subscription, I expect the scan bar code feature’s success rate to be better than what it’s been exhibiting recently.

Huh, I haven't really noticed any failures. Everything I've scanned comes up, and correctly (which is the freaky part to me lol).

Nope, the scanner never reliably worked for me. 4 in 5 scans resulted in rubbish results. or in the right product but in cups, or ml, for solid things.
