Bring back old layout

The new version of the app is awful to use. It’s much harder to view and add items, and copying previous foods is a hassle. This change makes no sense, it’s a stupid update that ruins the user experience just for the sake of appearance.

    Did they delete the main feedback post about the new diary? Can't seem to find it anywhere, which is awfully convenient for MFP seeing as it was all negative feedback on the new design.

    I think the feedback post was for the desktop diary layout, not for the new version of the app.

    Agreed, I've just tried the new diary and even though its in beta, there is no improvement to existing functionality. All it is, is a re-skin that's missing macro tracking.

    It'd be good to at least have a Quick Tool feature to copy from another meal in the same day, for example when having left-overs from lunch for dinner.

    I totally agree, the new app layout is awful. I now can't quickly see sub-macros (e.g. fibre) on the main page if I also want to see the normal carbs, fat & protein, as the new layout will only display 3 things. I therefore have to dig through the menus.

    The food diary is now very clunky, as you highlighted. If editing food timings, the 'use last time' function no longer works. If I want to edit a meal time, it would be far better to be able to edit the time of the whole meal, rather than its constituent foods.

    If there had been something intrinsically wrong with the previous version I could understand updating it, bu this update seems to to serve no purpose other than making the app worse to use.
