    My question is what is the use of "friends" now? Unless you are planning to email them all the time? I think all those threads about 'add me' and I need more friends should all go to the junk pile where the newsfeed is now.

    Exactly!!!

    First Fitbit takes away challenges (I don't use Fitbit anymore) and now this. We can complain all we want - they won't change it. Fitbit didn't roll back and there were thousands of complaints when I last checked. This won't either. Especially if it is the free users who are complaining.

    How strange that these threads have moved to 'feature suggestions and improvements".😳😳 Does that mean that we are all suggesting improvements? hmmmm

    Pretty sure the threads haven't moved. They've been here for days.

    Please keep the news feed... It helped me to lose a lot of weight and having supporters (friends) to to share my experiences and get theirs helped so much...Please don't take it away...

    Save the newsfeed! It’s my favorite feature for keeping motivated to log-in and record my meals and activity! I’ve logged in every day for over 10 years.

    Such a disappointment. I've been using this app for over 10 years and now I have no reason to log in. Accountability is gone and that's huge for me.
    I certainly wasn't here for the nutritional data that's been a bag of garbage for years.

    I just wrote to the idiots on the board my reactions to taking away the newsfeed. Now I have no idea how my friends are doing and NOTHING to challenge myself with. This community blog doesn’t do anything and the private message access is just a path to your email.
    I would have paid more for the storage necessary for the newsfeed. I have been a subscriber for many many years and I’m sick of the changes they institute without proper notification.

    Everyone is paying anywhere from $15 to $50 at Loseit for a yearly membership and have a newsfeed. I'm sure everyone would have given MFP the $$$ to keep the newsfeed. Oh well see ya MFP

    Mfp was so buggy overall for years. I literally can't believe anyone paid. They clearly were not taking any portion of the money and putting it towards proper development. Things seem to work at loseit, let alone I've already seen posts about how thier customer service is actually responsive. MFP is getting what it deserves.

    I was shocked to hear why all of the sudden my newsfeed is gone on the app.

    The newsfeed I looked forward to viewing a couple times a day.

    Hopefully they lose thousands of members to other apps such as lose it.

    I been a member since 2016, joined lose it this evening. I am hoping I can make it work. So I can delete my account with mfp

    Loseit isnt as fully featured, but its crazy how much more buttery smooth it is. MFP is an incredibly buggy app all things considered.

    What are they even spending the money on here?

    You really should have kept the newsfeed...many people have switched over to LoseIt and have paid, myself included. I probably would have done a premium membership with Mfp had you kept the Newsfeed. Oh well...you chose not to listen to many of us and honestly have just destroyed was was a pretty decent app

    I will be leaving soon. Looking for a program that can be run on a PC. Any suggestions?
    Without the newsfeed, all there are is ads that I have no interest in. Thanks MFP, enjoy your oblivion
