1. ★★★★★crashes, freezes, and data bugs

   Bugs and Issues. This app recently stopped working. Whenever I press “Add food” it just hangs and does nothing. The entire point of the app is to log food and I can’t do that.

2. ★★★★★crashes, freezes, and data bugs

   Prioritized customer service?!. There’s been a glitch in my account and I’ve been unable to get a hold of customer service outside of the AI service. That does absolutely nothing to help. Getting in contact with a human for customer service seems to be a total crapshoot.

3. ★★★★★crashes, freezes, and data bugs

   Update screws things up as usual.. EVERY time there is an update to supposedly “improve” an app that is working fine, the geniuses at MyfitnessPal manage to screw it up. So now it won’t load on my iPad. And of course they never think it’s their problem. Well, until they eventually manage to fix it.

4. ★★★★★other

   Syncing issues.. I got the app for it to sync with Garmin and it doesn't seem to like to sync to anything. This is my second time re-installing the app.

5. ★★★★★pushy notifications, confetti, and streak popups

   New notifications. The new notification as passive aggressive trash. They are not funny. The product manager who oversaw the development and the director who approved it should both be fired. Uninstalled.

6. ★★★★★2026 redesign made the food diary harder to use

   HORRIBLE April 2026 Update!!. June update: many complaints from users later. Still takes 3 times longer to do things Nothing useful on fixes. Still regret not checking my renewal date. April: NOT time saving. The meals list is gone. Now extra clicks to get to my diary, meals and the food list. Not helpful at all. Give us the option if we want the stupid bullet points or if we want the full list. At least do that. The macro information has changed again not helpful. I absolutely hate the date setup on this update. Itbhers in the way and of course extra taps. I want to see day of week and date at the same time that we previously had. Days of week with checkmarks not helpful. New set up takes up way too much space so more scrolling. Seeing the meal list all at once much easier. So far more work than app used to be. You asked for feedback about updating the web version, which I also use, great. You Are completely oblivious to getting feedback on the app, you continually fix things that are not broken. This app is now more time-consuming to use. not a happy camper and I pay extra for this. Programmers, what you think may be a great awesome idea in your little technical world not always translated to the users and how we use it. You need to keep that in mind. Just ‘cause you’re bored doesn’t mean you need to fix something that wasn’t broken.

7. ★★★★★basic features locked behind premium paywall

   Forced to switch to another app. I signed up for the premium features. The same day my bank account was charged the annual fee, that same day I was kicked out of the app and unable to get back in. I tried resetting my password, reaching out to support THREE times, nothing, I finally gave up, cancelled my subscription and paid for another tracker app (Cal AI). Being annoyed/frustrated that I lost ALL my tracking data and had to start over. Never in my life have I experienced this with any other app. Horrible.

8. ★★★★★2026 redesign made the food diary harder to use

   Has only gotten worse over a decade of development. I have been using this app for a LONG time, and I can honestly say that it’s only become LESS useful over it’s lifetime, and any improvements made have been completely negated by intrusive ads and gating actually good features behind the premium version. The new UI redesign is absolutely atrocious, as well.

9. ★★★★★2026 redesign made the food diary harder to use

   New layout is HORRIBLE. I love MFP and have been using it for over 10 years. The new layout is absolutely horrible. Took away the edit button that allowed you to move foods between meals. It used to show all of your food for the day w macros for each meal. Now you can only see macros if you’re looking at that individual meal. Sure it looks cool and like another Apple product but I literally hate it. I would reverse the update if I could!!!!!!! 0 stars if I could. Bring back the old layout.

10. ★★★★★2026 redesign made the food diary harder to use

    Horrible. Do you guys conduct any ux research before making decisions? Bring back the old interface pls

11. ★★★★★basic features locked behind premium paywall

    Zero flexibility. They removed the quick add functionality. So if you use another tool to measure something the app doesn’t have, like a homemade marinade, you can meticulously track everything and this terrible app gives no option to log it. It’s gotten worse over the years, and I’m furious because I just paid for another year of premium when they removed the most important piece of functionality for me. I really, truly hope every single person stops using this app and switches to a competitor and every idiot responsible for this change gets fired.

12. ★★★★★other

    Unable to use my Facebook login in app. Not sure what happened, but I am no longer able to use my Facebook login for the app. I can login through the website using Facebook. I don’t want to have to create a new login using my email or Apple account to use the app.

13. ★★★★★other

    Love the app but….. Sometimes I’m putting something in but it doesn’t match the exact calories. You should have a way of taking what is already on the app but instead, put in the calories and have the app make the adjustments for the macros based on the calories instead of using any other Measurement (at least make it an option to what already exists) i know i can put the calories in by themselves but i want to keep track of the macros as well so this would be ideal for me and i bet tons of people.

14. ★★★★★crashes, freezes, and data bugs

    Insane Power Draw. While this app can be helpful for tracking macros, it runs terribly on my iPhone. It drains the battery FAST (about 5% per 2 minutes), generates a TON of heat, and all the while the app is slow and glitchy. All I’m doing is adding food to a recipe, it shouldn’t be nearly this hard. Uninstalling because it’s just too much of a hassle to wrestle with the performance issues.

15. ★★★★★2026 redesign made the food diary harder to use

    Great app but horrible UI update. Great app but absolutely horrendous UI update!! please go back to the old version.

16. ★★★★★other

    Goals keep changing. Every time I update my weight, my “starting weight” changes to the oldest weight in from 10 years ago, and my macros and calories goals change back to default settings. I’ll update my rating of the app when this is resolved.

    Support is non existent. Support is non existent

18. ★★★★★2026 redesign made the food diary harder to use

    Terrible update. Used this app for years and then eventually left it for a different app. That app was no longer useful as it didn’t let me freely track my meals/food anymore. I decided to go back to MFP as it will allow this option. Well now the app is broken and completely useless. I am constantly logged out and cannot get back in, it won’t allow me to search for food unless it’s something I’ve tracked in the past and I can no longer make new meals without an error popping up. I don’t know what happened with the update that rendered the app useless but it’s really off putting. I am super frustrated every time I try to log food. Hopefully this can be fixed. I will be using a different app until this can be fixed.

19. ★★★★★2026 redesign made the food diary harder to use

    2026: Worst update in 10 years. BRING BACK THE OLDER VERSION. I have been using this app for a little over ten years. I used it for free for many years with great functions. The last a few years, I had to pay for certain functions so I was like okay they need to make that money. This year, in 2026, they launched the worst update I have seen in ten years. How does adding more buttons to log my food supposed to help make it easy!!!??! How does making it harder to see directly what I ate supposed to make it easier. Everything is hidden now and I have to find it. And they just added another update making it even harder in the last couple days. I am very close to finding another app and I’m sure that this version of this app will drive away many other consumers like me. I already saw so many people disliking this version. I AM TIRED OF THIS UPDATE!!!!!!!! BRING IT BACK TI WHAT IT WAS !!!! HORRIBLE

20. ★★★★★2026 redesign made the food diary harder to use

    Latest Version. I hate this newest update. I wish it happened before I renewed my membership, because I would NOT have. The layout is horrible

21. ★★★★★basic features locked behind premium paywall

    Do not use. They charged me twice a month for the same subscription for months and apple is refusing to refund me. Don't use this app it's a scam.

22. ★★★★★basic features locked behind premium paywall

    Super glitchy. Only half of the premium features work in any way

23. ★★★★★other

    Ruined app. This app used to be great, but the usability is terrible. Many times it takes multiple tries to log a food item. Many times it still doesn’t work. Clearly the product team isn’t using their own app.

24. ★★★★★2026 redesign made the food diary harder to use

    If it ain’t broke don’t fix it!!. I was always an avid MFP supporter, even as other apps came about (some better) I always stuck by MFP. I tracked my 175lb weight loss over the course of 2 years with my fitness pal and it made everything easy. Something has changed however with this most recent update. The UI is horrible, ease of use is horrible, and everything about it has been one giant step backward. Just revert the design!

25. ★★★★★2026 redesign made the food diary harder to use

    New Update is Horrible. I used the app for years and would normally give it 5/5. However, the new update really changed things for me. You now can’t copy and paste individual items. You have to copy a whole meal over. It also takes your calories burned and instead of subtracting them from what you’ve eaten in a given day, it adds them to your daily goal amount you can eat. I know this sounds trivial but it makes things very confusing and it’s not always easy to tell how many calories you truly have remaining. Please change it back.

26. ★★★★★other

    Good Tracking, NONFUNCTIONAL UI. The tracking is good, and there’s a good library. But, the UI renders it effectively unusable. Coded by a bunch of AP comp sci students in their first week of school.

27. ★★★★★2026 redesign made the food diary harder to use

    App is awful after update. The app was recently updated and the changes are awful! Why fix what was not broken? The functionality is not user-friendly or intuitive and things just seem out of place now. The free features are now part of the premium package, which is just too much to justify paying per month. Sad to say that I’m moving on!

28. ★★★★★basic features locked behind premium paywall

    Stole my money. Was going great used it everyday upgraded to premium for the year and now i dont have access to my premium content took my $100 and support cant even get back to you.

29. ★★★★★2026 redesign made the food diary harder to use

    Horrible update. All logs going to tomorrow? WHY? Do you guys test updates before release?

30. ★★★★★2026 redesign made the food diary harder to use

    Massively obnoxious update. Updated: Support ignored my bug report. Calorie tracker apps are always tedious to use if you care about the integrity of your data, and this app, which has been among the better options, made it 10x worse with one tiny bug that constantly returns you to the home view after editing an entry. Just fix it already. Original: I find the home view pointless. The app really thinks it’s useful. It’s not. Diary view is the only view that matters 99% of the time. Yet, any time you edit an entry you’re returned back to the home instead of back to the diary and this makes logging food, which is already a chore extremely annoying. Like, do you eat almost the same lunch today as you did yesterday, but had a little more bread and a little less mayo and ham? You’re going to return to that home view three times just to make a few tweaks and get on with your day.
