I just found out that there is a bar code scanner on the app for my phone!? It is the little funny symbol that looks like a messed up pound (#) sign next to the maginfing glass to search for food. That is going to be a life saver while I am out and about!

Did you know about it? Are you excited to learn that feature is there?

    I have been on the program for a week and that is what sold me on using the app in the first place! So easy to just scan and go!! Takes the guess work out of it! Love it!

    Where? I don't think I have that (iPhone) I just have the magnifying glass, you're talking about the MFP app, right?

    I have an android phone not the iphone....

    when I go to add food and the search box is displayed look to the right of the maginfing glass. The light blue #### sign is it! I had no idea. I would think if you have a camera it should work.

    I dont have an iphone, I have the Droid Incredible. When you go to search your food it is directly to the right of the search symbol....at least it is on my phone!

    I LOVE it but you have to double check that it's finding the right item and the nutritional stuff is right. It's been wrong a couple times for me.

    I just checked my iPhone and I dont see it when I go to search for food. This makes me sad. I also checked for updates and there are none for that app.

    That might be the single best feature ever! I try to add most of my foods via that, so that I know they are accurate
