    @MargaretYakoda @NormInv, try logging in from a different device. Even better, try logging in from a web browser. I know you like the app and the web isn't as fancy but you might still see the News Feed a while longer.
    I’m poor. I don’t have a computer or another device. ☹️

    If you have a smart phone, use the browser there to try logging in. I gave up on the MFP app years ago because it was so glitchy, at least at the time, and I use Safari on my phone to log in. I pretty much just use the forums at this point, so not sure it would work for the dashboard, but I don't know why it wouldn't.

    Been trying Lose It this week, and it sorta sucks. I wish MFP would just keep the newsfeed instead.

    I agree....have you tried navigating Loseit on your PC? I fond it so much easier than the app...I am getting use to both.

    Very bad decision MFP. Take away the key feature that people really like. I have been using this app on and off since 2012. Seen a lot of changes but the newsfeed was the only thing that kept me here. As others have said there are better “ tracking “ apps. I am afraid that this is the beginning of the end.

    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

    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.

    I am sure they could have converted MANY of us to paid or reduced fee memberships just so we could keep it. But they chose instead to alienate a huge part of the long term customer base.

    LoseIt takes a bit of getting used to, but their web version (which is also available on the phone browser) is largely reminiscent of the MFP of days past. I finally joined there and the community aspect feels a lot more alive than it does here.

    Shock is right! I don’t go into the community section very often. I have had friends on here for years (MFP for 13 plus years), and imagine my surprise when I updated the app. I’m so upset!
