I’m just in my free trial period but was wondering if any of you find it useful and worth it?

I’ve never gone for premium although I’ve had an account for 6 or 7 years or so. Personally, I don’t think I’d find any benefit from the added features. All I want is the food log and the ability to keep a vague eye on my macros.2

I personally find enough benefit in the having no ads as well some as the macro tracking features to make it worth the $4 a month I pay by subscribing annually. But it won't be worth it for everyone as the extra features are somewhat limited and the core of the app is still the same, free or not.3

My wife signed both of us up for premium accounts and paid for it before I even knew what MFP was. One day I went through alllll the premium features (to see which ones I use, since I've never been a free member) and was disappointed to see that I really don't use more than one or two of them. It is nice not to have ads, though. We'll probably stay premium members, because we are both on this web site multiple multiple times a day, every day, so it's worthy of support and there won't be free web sites if no one's willing to kick in a few $ for them, but honestly if I wasn't a premium member not much would change.
I do think MFP has missed, or is missing, a great opportunity to make premium membership meaningful by making the app very customizable for paid members. Truth is, the premium app is the free app with a few clunky additions, not a different user experience. If premium membership let the user define their own reports and charts (and more advanced charts) and set up Diary to display whatever mix of stuff they wanted in whatever order and format suited them, then its value would be more apparent. From the data we already input - to wit: all of our food, calorie, and weight information - there could be much, much more creative options for ways to slice, dice, and report the data, such as a tool that'll tell you what your rolling 3 or 6 month TDEE and NEAT really are each day based on your own data, a more advanced chart that'd let you insert your own trend lines to your heart's content, and so on, but nothing of that sort exists. I think they haven't much thought through what the potential of Premium could be.6 -
I signed up four days ago and to be honest see no benefit to Premium. Everything they sell as a new benefit falls short to be something really useful.0
