I also had the same problem of the app being slow to open. That is, until today! Now the app doesn't open at all.

Thank you all for your comments. All very much understood. From the UK to the US: hope you all have a great weekend

Ok, many thanks Kathryn. I will persevere👍

Ok, so I'm now using My Foods and the list is getting longer each day because sodium values have been incorrectly entered. But what a faff it then is if I want to enter a food item from it and I can't remember how the text starts, or whether I have actually entered it before. Wouldn't it be good if, when the barcode is…

That's well understood. Thanks lemurcat2, and all other contributors to this discussion.

As you probably know, I was referring to you. Apologies for getting your name wrong. When I sent in my first comment on 20th October I would have been quite happy to have just put my thoughts out there. The fact that it generated quite lengthy replies was pleasantly surprising.

Yes, I'll be using the "My Foods" from now on. But the bottom line is I don't really want to have to check every new food item that I scan. Neither do I think that the problem is caused by variations between countries. I'm not bothered about minor errors, but outside the UK can you really buy, for example, a pack of 10…

As I said earlier, what's the point in the reports being reviewed, and members taking time to submit corrections, if nothing is done with them? Maybe as kimny72 suggests, why have this feature at all, but as it's there it ought to work. In answer to carwyn, I don't plan on doing anything in addition to what I've done. I…

It will be difficult to police the database, so why don't MFP make it less open to errors. The requirement to show salt is a European-wide directive, which accounts for a pretty big population. If the reason sodium is used by MFP is because most of the world refers to that and not to salt, then maybe MFP ought to say how…

It would be a pity to try alternatives to MFP because everything else they provide is exactly what I'm looking for. I understand the problem with policing the database, but how many other organisations would allow their credibility to be determined by users who can input into it whatever they like? Maybe MFP should start…

You'll need to ask MFP why I can't edit nutrition values. I did, but they haven't fixed it so I still need to rely on everyone else's input. I didn't ask you to prolong this discussion. Like you I don't have the time either, but thank you for letting me air my views.

Can't seem to attach a screenshot here so I've saved it to the photography website Canon Irista that I use. Here's the link to that: https://www.irista.com/gallery/xqrzpebnohx8 Clearly, what's the point in Myfitnesspal saying they will review error submissions if they're not going to and, even more, if they're also not…

I don't think for one minute that members set out to deliberately give false information. I just think they should be more careful because others will be relying on their accuracy. If MyFitnessPal say that reports will be reviewed, then I expect them to be reviewed. After all, that's what they say they will do in the light…

Well, it's MyFitnessPal who said that error submissions will be reviewed. In any case, if other members' inaccuracies show, why don't my corrections overwrite them?

Ok, got that thanks. Didn't realise that I could save it to My Foods. That still doesn't alter the fact though that error reports should be reviewed by the MyFitnessPal team - it says they will on the webpage. Anyway, if the errors are being caused by members submitting incorrect information, that's no help to other…

I've lost count of the number of times I've reported errors in nutrition values. Yet when I next come to enter the same foods the same errors are still there. I've since reported this malfuntion of the reporting feature, but again the problem still remains. Now I've found that the sodium content is wholly unreliable.…
