Do you think the Alexa App is needed?

There's a couple of people that have already made this post but why is this still not an option? is there some reason why Alexa doesn't want to partner with the company. I mean I could understand if the veryfit app that the watch comes with had a better system for food journaling but it just doesn't even compare to this app. it's just frustrating 😒.

    For logging? You'd still have to check it was using the right entries and kogging the right amounts. I suppose it could have a hands-free advantage, but I suspect I would get tired of fixing its mistakes very quickly.

    If the Veryfit app that comes with the watch has food logging - however bad it may be - why in the world would they want to partner with a competitor like MFP? I don't understand. They'll want to build their own empires, not build MFP's. What individual users like you or me want doesn't much affect these decisions unless or until the impact hits the company's bottom line, or they think it will do that, realistically.

    I didn't vote. But since I don't use Alexa, don't use Veryfit, and don't even sync my Garmin to MFP - something that others find works quite well . . . no, I wouldn't vote that "we need this". My preferences don't affect whether any of these companies should or will do it, though. If it matters to you, communicate with them - all of them - maybe. Posting here, in an area only other MFP users read - people with no more power over the software than you have yourself - probably won't change much.

    At minimum, post in the area that MFP staff read here, instead:
