I have used this app for a very long time and to my dismay you started charging for the meal scan feature. In my opinion, this is a feature is needed for meal accuracy and should be included for basic membership like it was in the past. I feel forced to either purchase premium or leave the app. Unfortunately, I am going to choose to leave. There are many apps that offer the scan function at no cost. Lastly, you scan function already has many errors and does not work efficiently. Bye MyFitnessPal

    I'm tired of people doing this. The scanner is still there. For free. Go into your diary, hit add food, the scanner will pop up. For free.

    Look at it this way. A gym membership can be 3x as much, and a lot of people join it, go for the first month, then quit, while still paying the monthly fee. You’re getting all you really need for weight loss here on MFP for a third of the cost. It’s a bargain 😁. AND ad free (which is why I went premium years ago). Just sayin

    Not with my iphone - I am prompted to get premium.

    I've been a member for 11 years and never once used the scan feature, which I wouldn't take as gospel anyway. I verify ALL user-created entries, and have seen numerous errors.

    Fair enough. My main point was I get frustrated with people coming into the comments and complaing about things that we can't change. They need to contact MFP customer service. But, in their defense, I can choose to just not look at their comments.

    My first thought ws, "Are people still complaining about yhis? It's been 84 years!"

    (Also, I think we came up with a reason some can still scan and some can't which I will be keeping to myself because I HATE getting scolded by mfp.)

    (AND the only time I've ever used the scanner was to test said theory which seemed to be correct.)

    Just so you know, if you live in the United States, the scanner is not free anymore. It is now premium there. I'm guessing you live eleswhere and were unaware of that fact. Regardless, your comment came across as a fair bit rude. That was not necessary.

    My second thought is how did I let those typos get through. Geez!

    Edited because not all posters are playing nice. :p

    Honestly, all the first time posters who posted only to complain about the lack of scanner really did get to be too much.

    Yeah contact MFP customer service to waste even more of your time where they’ll make you gather all kinds of info and send a screen recording to explain a broken feature that they absolutely know about. Speaking of MFP customer service, why don’t you complain to them that you hate all the complaints? Show us how this useful suggestion works.

    I’m on premium trial and think this MFP greed actually reduces the quality of scan results for premium users. They got rid of of the free labor creating and assigning all the entries, so more entries than I even remember are not found when you go scan. Thanks a lot to the lovely individual that suggested and insisted on implementing this.
