The new food diary layout is awful

The new food diary layout looks so bad and janky. It was way better and more comprehensive before. It looks like the most basic you could possibly get. Please change it back or actually improve upon the previous design instead of making it worse.

    What have you done ... This app is almost unusable with the latest update, it was previously so simple to log food and navigate ... Now it's jumping from one thing to another, takes twice as long to log anything and then difficult to add other ingredients

    Revert this back to to how it was . .. or sort it out asap .

    The UI is not great. I can't find where the quick add of calories is. Does anyone know?

    @cbfblasting , Quick Add isn't as quick anymore :/, but it's still available. It's one of the options on the page where you search for foods to add to your log. In the place where you can choose to scan a barcode (on the Android app), it's the 4th option, the one furthest to the right.

    100% agree. Revert this change or make it optional.

    The new food diary interface is horrible. We can no longer see all meals for the day in one view.

    Adding meals now requires 2-3 more clicks. User experience design mistake 101. It's not too frustrating to use.

    You can see all meals at once by clicking View All, however it doesn't give you calories and macros breakdown per meal, like it did before. Now it gives you that data only for the whole day, when viewing all meals.

    It does give you the per meal data - but only when looking at just that meal's foods.

    Baffling why they think slicing up the data like that would be helpful.

    Genuinely, this is the worst update I've ever had on an app. Even beating when NYT paywalled the Mini Crossword.

    I'm a Premium member, but if this is the kind of thing I can expect going forward, I don't think I will be for long.

    i can't quickly go to the day before/next day between food diary page anymore. and i really hate that they've swapped the "progress" with "plan" at the bottom, like why?? i dont even use the "plan" feature, i plan my own meals thanks i know exactly what to eat and how to hit my goals. i would remove this feature completely if given the option. really upset i paid premium for extra inconvenience.
