I've been toying with the idea of paying for the app... just wondering if a lot of others pay for it as well?

    Sure. I like having different goals on different days of the week, and really with the success I've had, I'm happy to support the developers who create and maintain the most useful tool I have to help me get healthy.

    Same... I find myself adjusting my calories for lifting day versus non lifting days... and then it messes up my macros. Just not sure if it's worth the $10/month.

    Its half the price if you get the year I think. I pay for the exact reason. I calorie cycle. So much easier and does not mess with macros.

    I do - I paid for for MFP and other tracking apps I use. The premium features are nice and I use them, but my main reason for paying is to show my support to a company which has provided me with a tool that helped me to get in the best shape and health of my entire life. $59 per year is nothing compared to benefits I got from using this tool. Damn it, I spend more than that on coffee in one month.

    Many, apparently, cant grasp the concept that nothing is free. No one wants to work for free - apps programmers including. They got to get paid somehow - either by our payments, or incorporating ads. I'd rather contribute as it is only fair.

    I just got a one month subscription. Let's see how it goes before I shell out 60 bucks.

    Just bought one month's membership to see if I like what's on offer. I will definitely be paying for the full year when the month is up. I love the fact that I can finally calorie cycle, something that was very frustrating on MFP. Now if only they could allow us to delete foods.

    MasterVal: Totally agree with you. $59.99 works out to $4.99 per month or $0.16 per day. How cheap is that?

    nope and I won't until the food database is cleaned up and a few other things as well...such as add ignore user and they get rid of the spam...otherwise why?

    When you pay for mfp, are all of the ads still there? They are messing up my computer!

    No, I don't have the paid version. But it's only cause I'm broke during the holidays. I think I would like to get the paid version in the summer time, cause I'm gonna want all the little detailed extras by then I think.

    Of course, you don't need the paid version to lose weight, heck you don't need any version! But I'll keep it forever anyway;)

    I was contemplating purchasing premium as I too want to have different calorie goals on different days! It seems a little pricey just to use for that alone though :( I haven't purchased so far!

    After being here 3 years - I finally paid last week - I need to set some accurate goals by weight in grams - not percentage. None of the other paid features are important.

    Nope, don't pay. Wouldn't pay. The food database is jacked up and can be more of a pain than it's worth, the app is glitchy as hell and constantly closing on me, and the forums have been ruined lately and have turned into your typical internet health forum where woo and feelings are more important than truth. All that combined with the fact that some of the MOST knowledgeable people are moving on or have been banned means a lot would have to change to make this place worth a dime of my money. Just my opinion of course...

    If you're using the web version, you can easily download adblocker and not have to deal with the ads. Unfortunately I don't think there is anything comparable for the app.

    I pay. I need to list my goals in grams, not percentages. That alone is worth a few cents a day.
