The new UI you've just dropped is horrible. I've used this app on and off for a number of years now and it's getting progressively worse and worse. The continual nagging to buy premium, making the UI less user friendly with more flashy graphics etc is just unnecessary. Given the fact I didn't download an update as well, I can only assume you use server side elements which just increases data requirements and makes the app less accessible when offline. I get you've gotta make money so by all means put ads on there but get the message I'm not gonna buy premium and give me the option to turn off the nagging pop-ups.

Also, it is outrageously hard to actually figure out how to give you feedback. This is only counter productive for yourselves as I was on the verge of just leaving a negative review on the play store.

    Agreed. The new dashboard renders terribly on my phone (samsung galaxy note 10) with graphics and text overlapping each other and as you said, constant nagging to buy premium which this new update is not exactly enticing me to do.

    Agreed, adding obtrusive updates to the UI while ignoring functionality and issues that have existed on this site for several years now just shows how oblivious the owners and Devs are.

    Things like allowing a simple paragraph shouldn't be beyond a programmer's reach...

    All its going to take is a site with a healthy social side and bye bye mfp.

    Exactly - if it ain't broke don't fix it! Not only does the new dashboard suck, the food diary is cumbersome and takes twice as long to enter anything plus when I tilt my phone to see breakdown of foods entered it no longer has that function. Just like politicians, MFP is taking away things we have had for years!

    Finding the new UI much harder to use…miss the simple + button functionality. Ads are far more obtrusive. Literally going to browse the App Store now.

    New UI is ugly and intrusive. Whoever designed it really failed their UX class & nobody asked for these cosmetic changes! I'm going to switch to LoseIt now permanently, I can't even navigate the MFP app anymore which is wild because I've been using it since like 2013.

    (A curved edge on the bottom? Really? Makes my skin crawl it's so ill thought out!)

    Been using this app for 10 years. The new update is horrible and laggy. I can hardly scroll down the screen to find anything (takes 3-5 swipes to change what is on the screen) and the nav doesn't make any sense for how to find items. I was already finding the last update really touchy when adding food items (easy double click and pop up blocks whatever is centered behind it). I don't think I can even use this anymore.

    This is how broken the dashboard is on my phone.

    I bought premium and I now have learned that features does not work, e.g., sync with Garmin Connect.

    I wish for a refund or fixing the bug, however I saw a post from 2015 where they described the same issue.
