Why are they taking the newsfeed away?

CRON1984 · June 4

I love the newsfeed! Why are they taking it away? It really needs to be kept.

#SAVE OUR NEWSFEED

It’s been fun, but MFP has remove all the features that brought me here.

I’ve moved to the free app ryseapp.io to log my meals & workouts and encourage friends.

So that is why I can't see it anymore? My friend can see mine.

The newsfeed is being phased out gradually. I still have the newsfeed on my app, for example, but many people report that it's gone from theirs (forced update?) And I don't see it in the browser version of MFP anymore.

Because this feature was removed.

It STINKS!!

Can't understand why they have done it

It’s too late, it’s gone! It was probably a financial decision. A lot of us are migrating over to Lose It!

If they take away the newsfeed, I will go somewhere else.

I don't think there is much 'if' about it:

It’s a joke! I was told by them that no one used it! Lies….
I’m gutted the newsfeed is gone!! Think we need to give feedback!

The newsfeed was the only reason I chose MFP over LoseIt. This community feature is really frustrating to use.

Find me - Railgrl - over at LoseIt.

If we can no longer see the newsfeed, what’s the purpose of having MFP friends now?

kcmcbee · June 5

Terrible decision to remove the News Feed.

Lori_Wilkerson · June 5

I agree! What's the point of having friends on here if we can't see each other's feeds and cheer each other on? I'm really bummed.

Suddenly can’t find the newsfeed

jerseygene · June 6

The same for me I can’t get it is well. I’m wondering if it’s because they want us all to go on to the payed version.

I am so upset about this. I used my newsfeed every single day to encourage my friends.

I’m so upset over the removal of the newsfeed!

Exactly

Makes it easier to send PM's.

Bad enough the newsfeed is gone. Now I can't even log food. What a POS system. Goodbye MFP.

allisonschach · June 7

This is terrible! My family and I have been logging every single day for 8 years and we always like each other's posts that we've completed our food diary for the day to keep us accountable. And when someone loses weight we can quickly congratulate them when it populates in the feed. All our history is in here but I'm going to have to look for a new app. I'm not going to go post in the community about finishing my food tracking every day. If I wanted to do that I could just text my family and tell them. Asinine decision that ruins user experience.

I have the paid version, mines gone. 😭

t1nkerbelle · June 7

I’m really not happy that the newsfeed has been removed. I logged in every day for years to check on my family, praise them, encourage them as well check on my own progress and that’s now all gone. What’s the point of staying with MFP.

I don’t want to toggle to a community blog. I also notice that the cookie preferences are not saved even though they are selected so they can do more data mining if you don’t specify each time you log in. I’ve installed Lose It and will be transitioning to their app now. I sure hope the intelligencia at MFP have a great weekend watching their paid subscribers fall away. They made their announcement only a few days prior to implementation not to my email but buried in this blog that I don’t read. It is my opinion this carve out of our subscription is cause for legal action to those of us that pay on a yearly basis and we’re not informed when the subscription was renewed. As it stands I am owed 6 months refund.
