Restore the Edit icon

On Android, at least, there used to be an Edit icon (a pencil) at the top of the Diary screen. This was recently replaced with a lightning icon showing my current streak.
I could not care less about my streak, but I edit my diary all the dang time. Now I have to go into the menu and select ‘edit’ to do so. It’s an extra step every single time I need to update a quantity or copy something to another day. It’s cumbersome and it’s annoying. This change has made user experience significantly worse; did you even do any user acceptance testing before you rolled it out? Please just give the Edit icon back.

Totally agree! Its a total pain. I still can't understand how we can't click and hold on an item of food to copy into other days. Instead of just within the same day.0

This is the bane of my existence, I use the edit to copy food from one day to another every day.
I don't care about my streak, I almost want to skip days just to loose my streak and get rid of the icon and get edit back!!0
