MyFitnessPal: Calorie Counter

What Am I paying for, if every time I do a search for something I ate within the last day doesn't show up? This is annoying and time consuming. There really isn't much of an advantage to paying for a premium membership if I have to go through all the extra work to find the foods that I'm commonly eating anyway. Perhaps it's an algorithm change to get people to pay for the premium plus. Regardless, I likely will not be renewing my membership.

While I have been using the app since 2013, the latest update has ruined the functionality of the app. Previously, I could type a brand name into the search and pull up recent items. Now I have to type in a keyword from the item description. Bring back the ability to search by brand! It also deleted all my recent foods and I now have to re-enter them. An update should make the app better, not break previous functionality!

App is running worse & worse, day by day. This app used to be the best. I recently installed MFP because I started a serious weight loss goal. At first it was working perfectly. I'm familiar with MFP because I had used it 5 years ago to lose weight & it 100% helped me reach my goal then. Now, the app is VERY unreliable. It never picks up my steps from my fitness watch or other apps like Map My Fitness. It's adding exercises on days I've done zero (couch potato days). Very, very unreliable.

Update: that's a stupid to add to the notes This sucks that you can't track magnesium for your electrolytes. They don't even have the option to add magnesium when you create a food. Their help site says to create a food and add your supplements there. Hello!!! It's not listed. I mean how hard is it to add it to the list of nutrients. That post was a few years ago and it's still not an option. They have no problem changing the app for the worse. I have premium. I expect to be able to custom add.

Terrible, terrible design. User interface is the most confusing, non-intuitive design imaginable. Also, wildly inconsistent calorie counts for food items. I typed in 1 cup cooked quinoa and saw search results ranging from 120 calories to 225. The search results appeared crowd sourced, so accuracy is dubious. People just write in their opinions, defeats the purpose of counting calories. Stay away from this app.
