    Super frustrated about this! This was my favorite food logging app that I’ve used for so many years. Looks like I’ll be moving over to a different one :(

    I so agree. SCAN A BARCODE was literally so easy. And it made it to where you know the correct food is being chosen. With searching, tons of times the nutrition values are off. It's just absolutely pathetic they made this for ONLY PREMIUM.

    Mine is still working and I don't pay for premium. Did they change their minds?

    Taking the bar code food scanning availability on the free version, just to get us to buy premium - I say bye bye 👋 smell ya! Terrible business decision….

    I have a 2970-day logging streak and have been using the app (well, website) even longer. I've been maintaining a 175-pound weight loss for over 7 years. MFP wrote a story about me on their blog. And this is the business decision that made me decide when I hit 3000 days, I'll say "goal accomplished," and MFP and I will part ways.

    Hiding one of the best features behind an $80.00 a year pay wall is the dumbest thing you folks could have done. After reading more about the group that bought you up, I am no longer surprised. May you reap what you sow.

    I completely agree. The main reason of why this has been my go to app and I recommend to others was that feature.

    I just came back to MFP after a break. I've been using MFP off and on for about 10 years. I just downloaded Lose It! and will be using that going forward. Can't believe they removed the barcode feature and the exercise calorie deduction.

    As an individual who has been using this app before it was sold and started ads and a paid version it is bad business to start charging for something that was always free. I will not pay for something that came with the membership. Losing It offers a free scanner with the use of their application.
