Since yesterday, I am no longer able to copy or edit my recipes. I still seem to be able to create new recipes, so I could just re-enter a recipe but for long ones, this is a major pain. I know this issue has come up a few times in the past, but I found a place on myfitnesspal's site that says it's been "fixed".

    August 16: This morning I installed the latest update to my devices and tested them and they seem to work now. I also tested the web app (using Chrome) and I can edit my recipes there too. Thanks to everyone for your comments.

    I've had this same issue as well and for longer recipes, recreating them takes a long time.

    Same issue. I tried to edit the number of serving sizes in an imported recipe, and my edits didn't save. I thought maybe imported recipes from a commercial site are somehow protected from editing (???) so I deleted it and recreated it from scratch, but I can't save the new recipe at all. When I tried to select "save and log it" a box popped up saying "There was a problem logging your recipe, please try again later." Any ETA on fixing this glitch?

    Same issue yesterday and today. I was able to enter a new recipe a few minutes ago. When I went to edit it I removed 1 item, leaving 3. The Save button is completely unresponsive.

    This happens on the web app as well as my devices. To my knowledge, there is no way to "update" the web app.

    Same problem persists today, edit is broken as I stated above 8/10.
    In addition I am unable to copy a recipe, receiving "Failed to copy recipe" at the top of the recipe list.
    I have cleared my cache and cookies without any change in behavior. I have also tried this with both Chrome and Firefox.
