Hi everyone, I started today. I’d like to lose weight and I’m going to use the app. Do people like the premium version or the basic? I have one month premium free now.
Thanks!
Michelle

Hi Michelle! Welcome! I can't speak for anyone else but I got the premium for a year because I wanted the convenience of using the barcode scanner and it gave me more options for tracking carbs (net carbs mode, etc.) I'm a fairly recently diagnosed diabetic and I came back here specifically so it would be easier to track carbs and calories. Right now it's worth it to me but I'll re-evaluate in a year to see if I still think it then.
I used MFP years ago and seem to remember that the barcode scanning was a free option then.0
