I have used the app for six years and now you're forcing me to choose a paid plan? I can no longer scan bar codes without a plan?

    What do you mean? I'm still scanning barcodes this morning. I don't have a premium account.

    Oh, I see. I tapped on the "scan meal" option to see what that does.. and that's a premium feature. It's possible that you tapped on the wrong scan button. Unless there's an update being rolled out that I haven't gotten yet, you should still be able to scan barcodes.

    When you go into "add food" there's literally a "scan barcode" button. And you don't need premium to use it.

    I don’t understand your comments since you do have premium. Did you only recently get it? Otherwise why are you so sure that the feature doesn’t lock out non-premium members?

    I mean.. I literally said in an earlier comment that I didn't have premium. I only signed up for it over the weekend.
    Lying wouldn't help anyone.
