    @epresco2 You posted while I was typing. But that is what she's saying…that there going to bring back the new version eventually. Everyone is upset about the new diary layout. Why can't they leave things alone at least for the web users?

    MFP has just rolled the Food Diary back to its previous version. However, according to @Hudson this is a temporary change until they get some bugs corrected (am I stating this correctly, @Hudson?), then they will roll out this new template. Hope it is as ergonomic and efficient as the one that has worked well for years.

    According to @Conor, this will bring the website more inline with iOS and Android apps (am I stating this correctly, @Conor?). I'm not familiar with the iOS app, but the Android app is not appealing at all. I usually wait and update everything on the website.

    However, the updates from both these staff members (which I appreciate, thank you), indicates this new template will become the permanent new version. That is sad. What has made MFP great is the ease of its Food Diary, its simplicity and easily workable it is.

    Here is some more ChatGPT input on this, which gives everyone an idea of the issues we're all having with this new rollout.

    Thanks, David

    If I wanted it to look like the app, I'd be using the *kitten* app.

    Is the bug related to any of the feedback/issues reported here? Also, please pass along all the feedback from the subreddit https://www.reddit.com/r/Myfitnesspal/comments/1ljmrgf/why_is_the_new_ui_so_bad/

    I'm in a wait & see mode. I will not use MFP for the time being. If the previous (good) version is staying permanently, I may reconsider my decision. But if they are willing to roll this out so poorly now, how can I trust that it won't happen again. I'm incredibly disappointed. I have fine tuned my notes for both my exercise diary & food diary, but there is no point if it can all disappear. My two cents.

    @HealthyDebDeb I feel the same way. That new version is absolutely no good. I'm waiting to see if they improve it at all.

    Thanks for listening & returning the webpage back to the previous format.
    A BIG relief & one that stops me having to look for a new provider, especially when the current one already did everything we needed, with ease.
    Thank you.

    as we learned with the newsfeed changes MFP is not controlled nor will it ever be influenced by our requests. Threatening to find a new AP or cancel premium type posts are honestly just spittin' in the wind. When "the board" decides something it is not based on user input here but usually the $$ or what someone who does not use the AP thinks would be a great new feature (that none of us really want if they bothered to ask). Probably at some point the whole interface except community will be AP only versus PC friendly. Thats what google did to Fitbit and I think someone mentioned Loseit also did. Perhaps desktop APs are going the way of the dinosaur or something.

    I've already turned off the auto-renewal for Premium. Money talks, folks. You can always put it back on… but maybe MFP needs to see a mutiny to 'hear' us…

    Weight Watchers also did this - they did away with their desktop functionality earlier this year. Really upset a lot of their users.

    I've already moved to Cronometer. Its UI still isn't as good as the old MFP, but it's still better than the new one.

    @Chirthorpe I have a feeling that MFP will keep the old version for website user's. Maybe just wishful thinking. But I'm waiting to see.

    I just checked on Cronometer. I looks like it's just another app for phones. I'm only interested in apps that can be used with a desktop computer. All the apps seem to be moving away from the desktop versions. But, when all the 20-somethings become 40-somethings, I believe phone apps will lose their appeal 🙂

    MFP staff, thank you for returning to the older version. It is so appealing, easy to work. Some of us have more difficulty than others learning to go with the flow of the changes we saw.
