Will you be bringing the newsfeed back?

You know since MyFitnessPal doesn’t have the newsfeed anymore, where you can communicate with your friends see what they’re up to, their their workout for it’s been all gone. It might even be more than a year. I don’t see a point in keeping the app. I don’t really use the app to keep track of my meals. If I remember to post them, my meals are not normally the kind you can measure and figure out how many calories. I don’t keep track of my exercise because I have a Fitbit. I think I might delete my fitness pal app and just keep using their blog, because personally you can’t get to the blog through the app so the app is useless now as far as my needs are concerned. 

IF anyone is reading this other than myself, does anyone feel the same way?

    I also miss the newsfeed, despite the fact that it was sometimes filled with automatic posts.

    I tried Instagram as a replacement, but I'm more of a words person than an image person - I'm really not into sharing selfies of my workouts etc.

    The newsfeed has been gone for nearly 18 months now, I don't think they're going to change their minds... If anything, they're currently implementing other changes in the app that are chasing people away and they don't seem to care...

    Lietchi, it’s a shame that they are not going to bring it back. I’m a words person to but I also like the buddy system. I start my personal no more newsfeed blog so I use it as my newsfeed. I have a few buddies pop in but Val has been the most consistent blogging with me. She has been a godsend because I had some major life changes I wasn’t ready for and being able to come here to *kitten* and moan it’s been great. This where you can find it if you want to have a consistent place for buddies.

    I use it as my newsfeed. I can’t tell any of the friends I have listed it’s there. With no newsfeed, we have no idea what our friends are doing. I don’t even know who my friends are because I don’t have a newsfeed. I actually have to go onto the website with the app and search my friends and then I have to you know click on each and see what I can see. This whole app is SO useless now.

    I deleted the app. I sent the page to my screen so I made ‘app’ sort of. This is what it looks like on my iphone

    Now this has been saved like this starting at page 31, so after a while, maybe at page 40 I’ll save a new one.

    FYI. That little app didn’t work. When I’ve done it before it always took me to where I had saved. I’m disappointed.

    I’ll always miss the newsfeed and many left..


    another way to stay with friends is to form a group in “groups”


    all friends can join. ESP if you don’t want things public.
