App vs. website

I just rejoined MFP after 5 years. I really like it but find the app to not be as user friendly as going on to the website. Is anyone else having issues or is it that I just need to get used to it?

    The app is fine imo, the only draw back of the app is not being able to read the member blogs.

    The one issue i find on the app that the website has is you can't search for food, or at least I can't seem to search for food items that you've never used before. I had to go to the website to search for eggplant yesterday instead of the app.

    It could very well be user error too!

    Did you have your phone data on / wifi on? the search function for foods only works with that.

    That's definitely user error. Hit the search/enter button on your phone's keypad or select the blue words that say Search all foods for "----":

    I find the above all true on the iPhone but NOT on my iPad

    There are pros and cons to both, IMO. I prefer the app/phone (android) for logging my food, but the website for social functions (feed/wall, forums, etc).

    Ultimately though, it's a free service, and a pretty robust one at that. Any quirkiness you may experience... well, it's a free service. I don't think there's much to complain about.
