    I use it on my Android and it's very helpful when I don't have time to log food on my computer.

    I have a droid & love the app. On the app you still have access to friends, but not msg boards. And a bar-code scanner!! Awesomeness.

    I love it! Use it constantly and have been able to share some of it's capabilities with friends! So easy to use!

    I had a droid for two years and just switched to the iPhone. Every app I used on droid runs so much smoother on the iPhone. That being said, MFP was probably one of the least glitchy of apps on the droid so I think you will be ok. Just remember though...if you spend less for a Droid it may not last long. I went through a few because of that.

    Droid app is great for fast logging of foods, workouts & weights, but as far as interaction you need the browser to sign onto the actual site.

    HTC Evo 4G here. I really like the droid app and like someone else mentioned, the bar code scanner is fantastic. Haven't ever owned a black berry or iPhone so I can't comment on them.

    I actually started MFP on the phone not realising it had a web site. I loved it straight away. You can track all your food which is great when you're not at home. You can enter exercise and post to your feed. You can add friends and reply to them. You can't however use the community which I discovered on the web site. It also has a weekly feature that isn't on the web site. It works out your average.

    I use a HTC desire and have never had any trouble with the app at all.
    oh, the scanner is excellent and saves heaps of time.

    From what I can tell from my friends IPhones the app is the same and seems to work the same.

    I've used mfp for both iphone and android. Both apps are great. I use android right now and I love it. Especially the barcode reader and the daily nutrition summary. You don't get either of those features on the website.

    I have an Android phone and use the MFP app every day to log my food and exercise. I use it more for that than the site. I LOVE the barcode scanner. You can access everything but the Community/Forums/Groups. You can still send messages and make comments on your news feed with friends though.

    I, like jaabee11, started using MFP as the app only, before I knew this support of the community was here.
