    Not for me. Not with all the bugs and inaccuracies.

    Nope. They just want to verify your data through your credit card info. It means they can sell user data for a lot more $$

    AdBlock. Free. You're welcome.

    Sounds about right... with all the current bugs and ongoing problems still going on after all these years.. with no relief in sight.. I can't imagine paying for this service.

    Regarding ads? Adblocker is your friend <3

    I just cancelled mine. I had it for a month, but I'm not counting macros or having different calorie goals on different days right now and I didn't see the value. I see how it could be helpful for someone who's doing a lot of training. I do my logging on my computer at work to avoid the ads and only use the apps when I'm on the go.

    No I do not. I don't have a problem paying for premium services. But for MFP isn't one of them. They do not offer enough benefit for the $10.00 a month.

    Here's a rather large issue a premium member is having currently... I posted tech info so she could try and contact them but... hard to think they'll fix it after all this time. But never know... I feel like they made huge promises for premium members (um...and to the REST of US) to fix things. They still aren't fixed. I can understand why ppl paying for this site could be quite angry.

    The rest of us non-paying members get quite frustrated and we're not paying anything for it. :::shrugs::
