Hello all. I had been using map my walk and run and syncing my workouts to the MFP app with no problems until this week. Every workout I have completed this week I have had to manually add it to the MFP diary. I have double checked that the apps are connected to each other and they are. Just wondering if any one else had been having this problem or whether it is my phone having issues. For info I am using a Samsung Galaxy s3 in the UK.

    I'm having the same problem.

    To sync the two apps, open up MFP and open the menu tab. click on "Apps and Devices" and it will ist all the apps you can sync with MFP. Click on the one you want and log in. It's as simple as that.

    Same issue for about 2 weeks now. Same phone I was using previously (LG Volt). I had a friend yesterday also mention here (on MFP) say the same thing.

    *edit to add* I'm in the US and my friend is on the other side of the country but also in the US.

    do i do that every time i use the app, so everytime i want to use MMW i open via MFP ?

    When I do this it just takes me to a page to download the app but I already have the app downloaded and am using it on my phone. What am I doing wrong?

    ETA: I went to Improve on my MapMyFitness dashboard and clicked sync. There it allowed me to sync with MFP so is that all I need to do?

    Do you think it has anything to do with Under Armour buying MapMyFitness? MapMyRun stopped logging for me. I use an iphone 4. I was ok with that because the calorie burn is usually ridiculously high

    I hope they fix this, I've been having this issue with all my my apps, I have to go to the website copy the workout, then delete one for it to sync. I am looking for something else to use.

    It's been broken for three days now (I do daily walks with MMW syncin' to MFP).
    I'm gonna switch to Strava for the time being...see how THAT works...

    EDITED TO ADD: Apparently this is only affecting ANDROID versions but not iPhones according to the response to my support request reply!!

    I have an iPhone 4 and mine still works for me.

    Mine synced yesterday and today. But I had to go through the MapMyFitness dashboard to get it to sync instead of the MFP apps & devices.
