Posted some issues with the seemingly poor editing abilities w this app on help/ discussion site but got no replies and neither could find my post. Find i cant edit, delete, diary entries. Frequent foods is no different than the regular list and u cant edit that either...*scratches head. Seems soooo very fundamental. My iphone works better than my Samsung tablet but sure would be nice if icould actually use it. Tried the tapping, holding etc but nothing. Seems to have been a problem for a long time, still, im willing to give this thing another go.
Anyways, anyone interested in being friends, im game. The the back and forth motivation im sure can help.

    If you said which app you're using (iPhone or Android) you might get some helpful suggestions from other readers. In general, though, my first thought is how long ago did you download the app, and have you tried deleting it and downloading a new version?

    ETA: Sorry, on second read I saw the little "i" before phone -- it would be easier to see if you punctuated the brand name correctly as iPhone.

    Also, the recent list is created each time you look at it by referencing your recent logging activity. It can't be edited other than by deleting the entries in your diary.

    Editing diary entries on an iPhone is quite simple (I don't know how it works on Android) - tap on the entry, it pops up and you can edit it. To delete it, you swipe left on the desired entry and choose the big red "Delete" button that shows up at the right side of the screen.

    "Frequent foods" takes some time to learn your patterns. Of course it's going to be the same as the regular list in the beginning, since you haven't established any frequent patterns yet. As you go on using it, the regular food list will show your most recent food selections and the "Frequent" will show the ones you eat most often. You can't edit your food list (and the Frequent list is self-editing based upon your usage), but there's a search bar right at the top of the list to help you locate previous entries.

    Your issues appear to be more from frustration in not knowing how to use the app than from problems in the app itself.

    Sorry I wasnt clear on the way i worded that. Its my tablet im having trouble with and which id like to use, my phone works well. The tap and hold function doesnt seem to work. Perhaps, as advised, if i delete the app and try again. Thanx for the advice on the frequent foods list.
