in Getting Started
After trying WW for six months with no luck - I am back to using MFP - I used to be able to use the barcode scanner with the free app, now it says I have to upgrade to premium to use it. Is there no barcode scanner in the free app now? Thank you.

    No, it's a premium feature only now.

    Is the barcode scanner only in the United States? I have friends in the UK says they still have it in the free app???

    I was bummed about that when I came back too. But not enough to open up my purse and pay for premium. 😉

    I think it’s more about when you receive the update that changes things. It took a few weeks before my app updated to the new dashboard style when people had been wingeing/talking about it on the forums for ages.

    I’m in the UK and still have use of the Barcode Scanner, but I’m sure the day will come…

    I have my phone set to auto update btw. It just seems not to do the whole user base at one time. 🤷‍♀️

    Shhh! Don't tell them ....

    - I'm in the UK using an Android phone and I still have it - perhaps they will overlook us.

    Same, started back today and will be deleting MFP and going else where. Terrible decision by management
