Has anyone continued to log their food while traveling when your phone is in airplane mode? We have an upcoming trip and I won't be able to connect to the internet, but would like to continue tracking my calories while I'm away. Will everything eventually sync up once I reconnect?

    You can track in offline mode and it will sync when you are back online or have cell service. However, it is important to note that you won't have access to the full database. The app does have a limited database contained within it, but you won't be able to just scan or search everything and find it - you will be limited to the app database and what you've logged in the past. If you know you'll be eating different things that usual it might not be a bad idea to pre-log a few things so you can save the data.

    Never thought of the database not being accessible. Thanks for the tip!

    You can connect to WIFI while in airplane mode, so the database will work occasionally. Assuming you have internet in your hotel.

    Use WiFi wherever you find it and log then. I've found that the app really doesn't work unless it's connected to the internet.
