“[MyFitnessPal] ★★★ 3/5 (v26.34.0) — Been using this app for a decade or more. The new formatting is not user-friendly. When recording exercise, it assigns a random time value which causes the order of the workout to be mixed up. Classic case of overengineering.”
[MyFitnessPal] ★ 1/5 (v26.34.0) — The new interface update is awful
“[MyFitnessPal] ★ 1/5 (v26.34.0) — The new update is not user friendly at all. You can no longer copy from one day to another keeping the meals separated. You also can’t see your remaining macros on the same screen as your meal entries. Update sucks”
“[MyFitnessPal] ★ 1/5 (v26.34.0) — You guys just literally ruined your own app and now I have to switch and no longer use it. Why in the world would you only make it that I can only see my remaining macros that I can hit versus my intake tracking that was the dumbest thing and whoever came up with that decision should be fired”
“[MyFitnessPal] ★ 1/5 (v26.34.0) — I'm so frustrated by the latest major design changes. Extra taps to get to where I want to go. Inability to view everything I've rated in a day on the first screen. I wish the old design was brought back or I was given the option to customize my landing zone / dashboard.”
“[MyFitnessPal] ★ 1/5 (v26.34.0) — I used to love this app and now I’m so disappointed! All the things I used to be able to do I can no longer do them! Now can’t use the barcode scanner or intermittent fasting options. I mean I could do them if I wanted to pay for premium! I will be looking for a different app that doesn’t make you pay to do the basics!”
“[MyFitnessPal] ★★ 2/5 (v26.34.0) — Used to be a great app but the new update has ruined it.”
[MyFitnessPal] ★ 1/5 (v26.34.0) — Title says it all.
“[MyFitnessPal] ★ 1/5 (v26.34.0) — The user interface on the new update is horrible- please bring back the old interface and displays for macros and daily totals.”
“[MyFitnessPal] ★ 1/5 (v26.34.0) — Was great, easy to use and had everything you needed easy to find. Now it’s horrible”
“[MyFitnessPal] ★ 1/5 (v26.34.0) — MyFitnessPal… are you dumb?!?!? This app was excellent and is now complete garbage. Why did you do this?!?!? People are canceling. I have canceled and will not renew when my time runs out. Look at your recent reviews! You guys need to get a clue and admit you were wrong and put this back how it was! NOW!!!!”
“[MyFitnessPal] ★ 1/5 (v26.34.0) — App was good years before when I used it …now freezes ever second even after I updated it”
“[MyFitnessPal] ★ 1/5 (v26.34.0) — The UI update will officially be what kills this app forever.”
“[MyFitnessPal] ★★ 2/5 (v26.34.0) — This new update has a terrible user interface. I used it every single day for multiple years, and when that update happened I completely stopped using the app. I just opened it up to start logging because I had forgotten how awful it is. Let me see how many calories I’ve had AND how many I have left. but most importantly, let me see everything I’ve logged for all my meals on one screen like it used to be instead of having to click into each meal first. It makes”
“[MyFitnessPal] ★ 1/5 (v26.33.0) — Can’t do anything except purely count calories with it. I used it years ago and was able to access most features without paying for the subscription. Tried using it today and couldn’t because basically everything requires a subscription”
“[MyFitnessPal] ★ 1/5 (v26.33.0) — I’ve used this App for almost 10 years. It was the bread and butter of my weight training and healthy diet goals. They completely changed the user interface and now (for me at least) it’s basically unusable. It’s pretty disappointing, all the information that was helpful and intuitive and easy to compare (and then make decisions) is now scattered throughout the app. At least you get cartoon reminders of your streak! lol. Eating healthy is difficult enough but th”
“[MyFitnessPal] ★ 1/5 (v26.33.0) — It’s was great. But then my app updated and it all fell apart. They dropped voice logging, which I used it for fresh things and it worked great. But it’s gone now. They also put the user interface in a blender and it’s just way too clunky. I’ll throw out the remainder of my subscription to move on to the next best thing.”
“[MyFitnessPal] ★ 1/5 (v26.33.0) — UPDATE: Tell us who hurt you. April’s update on the UI was bad enough, I didn’t think you guys could have possibly made it any worse. Yet nevertheless here we are… It’s not like there’s not enough space on the screen to put all of the data in one place. I mean you had it that way before. The latest update from April 2026? TERRIBLE. It now takes twice as many taps to register food. Why would I want to add exactly the same meals the next day? And why do I have t”
“[MyFitnessPal] ★★ 2/5 (v26.33.0) — Feels like the UI developers are just sitting and twiddling their thumbs w nothing else to do so they put in place UI changes that SUCK without any end user testing. Bane of my existence are changes like this where product/eng thinks they are making things better and it’s 10 times worse.”
“[MyFitnessPal] ★ 1/5 (v26.33.0) — The new update is very confusing, you have to dig to find anything. Doesn’t tell you how many calories you have left in your diary. Just awful”
“[MyFitnessPal] ★ 1/5 (v26.33.0) — Every time I log in, something has moved around or the GUI is different in some way. STOP IT! You know what’s worse than a bad design? An unpredictable one. I still *hate* the redesign overhaul from a few months ago by the way.”
“[MyFitnessPal] ★ 1/5 (v26.33.0) — When this app updated a few months ago I was disappointed, and others were to. Now instead of going back to the original or keeping the new one they decided to make a whole new update that’s somehow worse. There is no more circle to track calories instead it is an arch that is hard to estimate. Also they change how many calories you’ve eaten to now having how many calories you have left…why? You’ve had it the other way for years. Also everything is just complica”
“[MyFitnessPal] ★★★ 3/5 (v26.33.0) — I rarely leave reviews but it’s been a little bit with this new layout and it is so unintuitive. It’s awful. People that work there must not use the app themselves… Also, instead of spending time making the UI more confusing, how about adding OCR for taking pics of nutrition labels and auto logging it. Manually typing it in is awful. Especially with how janky the functions are. What’s with the up and down arrows and keyboard “bouncing”?”
“[MyFitnessPal] ★★★ 3/5 (v26.33.0) — This app is absolutely amazing and has helped me lose weight and keep it off. It is also incredibly complete. I just really hate the latest update. The calorie intake part is unclear, logging food now is just confusing and it has lost its prime appeal of being easy to use. Please allow people to use the previous format and this would be a 5 star app.”
“[MyFitnessPal] ★★ 2/5 (v26.33.0) — The new update is totally unusable. What’s worse is with all the backlash the company refuses to acknowledge to feedback or make changes. Will definitely be switching when my plan ends. And oh by the way you can never cancel and get any refund for the premium version.”
“[MyFitnessPal] ★ 1/5 (v26.32.0) — It won’t let me just use the app. It wants me to waste 20 minutes answering questions that will not help me at all. I don’t care. I just want to count calories”
“[MyFitnessPal] ★ 1/5 (v26.32.0) — Now has pages where half of it is just an ad. Calorie total is also odd now. Going to switch apps after 10+ years using MFP”
“[MyFitnessPal] ★ 1/5 (v26.32.0) — i’ve used this app for 6 years now, and each year, this app gets worse everything is stuck behind a paywall now and is almost unusable. although it’s the most popular app, i’d much rather use any other, newer app, due to the sheer amount of paywalls this app has. this app used to be so much more streamlined and user-friendly but has gone down the drain in recent years”
“[MyFitnessPal] ★ 1/5 (v26.32.0) — WHY do you keep trying to change things in the app? The app is fine the way it is. The users love it. Ou are trying to change things that don’t make it better. You’ve changed the view now when you click on breakfast, lunch, etc, to be the exact same as the main view except digitally unpleasant to the eye. Before when you clicked breakfast, it would show you just breakfast and nothing else so you could see your macros for just breakfast and the full meal, etc.”
“[MyFitnessPal] ★★★ 3/5 (v26.32.0) — I still use this app a lot, as it is super helpful. But I agree with a lot of users, in that the update is not user friendly at all. Users have to jump through a lot of hoops just to log things now and it is more difficult to see. Bottom line is, if it is not broken why fix it? This time and energy could have gone into expanding the range of foods that we can log. The new layout is incredibly frustrating, please bring the old one back. So many people are unhap”
“[MyFitnessPal] ★ 1/5 (v26.32.0) — App worked well for a long time but it now freezes up constantly…”
“[MyFitnessPal] ★ 1/5 (v26.32.0) — Been using the free version for years. The new look is STILL awful. Malfunctioning after revamp. Went away for long time. Just entered breakfast of a skinny latte and breakfast sandwich that would add up to 660 calories. However it shows a total of 3200 calories and being over my daily. It wasn’t broke before. Why did you fix it to be malfunctioning free version. Deleting after this.”
“[MyFitnessPal] ★ 1/5 (v26.32.0) — I’ve used this app for years, and the new layout/design is a disaster. Please bring back the old interface.”
“[MyFitnessPal] ★★★ 3/5 (v26.32.0) — The is app has been extremely helpful in tracking my meals & my macros. Unfortunately, the latest update to the interface makes me not even want to open the app. It’s less user friendly & quick to log meals now.”
“[MyFitnessPal] ★ 1/5 (v26.32.0) — Please fire your developers. Every time I think the app can’t get worse, there’s a new update that makes it even more infuriating to use.”
“[MyFitnessPal] ★ 1/5 (v26.32.0) — this new interface is absolutely awful, does not look good, and makes the app harder to use. I desperately want to go back to the older version, can we switch back?”
“[MyFitnessPal] ★ 1/5 (v26.32.0) — The new interface is not user friendly. It takes too many steps to separate calories eaten and exercise calories burned.”
“[MyFitnessPal] ★ 1/5 (v26.32.0) — This new update is horrible. Features don’t work. It’s not intuitive. Things that were previously easily accessible aren’t anymore. Please revert back”
“[MyFitnessPal] ★★ 2/5 (v26.32.0) — I have been using mfp for years. This new update to the ux has made tracking so much harder. What used to take me two clicks now takes multiple back and forths just trying to see what I’ve eaten the day prior. They’ve made it so much more complicated and for what? Just to look better but not work better for the actual user.”
“[MyFitnessPal] ★ 1/5 (v26.32.0) — It used to be a great app; all the information was intuitive and easy to find. Some moron decided to "improve" it, and now it’s a total mess—you have to scroll and jump between tabs just to find anything. Find another app; this one is useless”
“[MyFitnessPal] ★ 1/5 (v26.32.0) — Awful! It makes me ready to give up years of tracking in favor of some other app that puts even a modicum effort into its UX.”
“[MyFitnessPal] ★ 1/5 (v26.32.0) — Stop making these updates that your customers don’t want. The new UI is so bad. Why have I lost the ability to copy all of yesterday’s mess to today? It’s so great (/s) that you 5x’d the work for me to do what I was doing yesterday.”
[MyFitnessPal] ★ 1/5 (v26.31.0) — I have not received any help for a syncing issue within the app and it’s been about five days. This app sucks. It’s so annoying. I need…
“[MyFitnessPal] ★ 1/5 (v26.31.0) — Holy hell. What is this UI. Product was great and is now a completely disorganized unintuitive hot mess.”
“[MyFitnessPal] ★ 1/5 (v26.31.0) — Loved MFP before this update. awful new UI has me constantly flipping between days when I'm just trying to get back to the main diary page. Why add a useless layer of interface that shows the whole day, rather than day > click into details of individual meals? Looking into alternative apps to use now.”
“[MyFitnessPal] ★ 1/5 (v26.31.0) — Had been a great app for years, before they totally trashed the UI. Read reviews, your users hate this mess. Why do you clowns refuse to put back a decent UI?”
“[MyFitnessPal] ★ 1/5 (v26.31.0) — I used this app for 20 years and had a premium subscription. The new update is totally frustrating and unworkable. Not being able to see all of my logged food at the same time on one screen anymore was the last straw. I moved on and found something that works much better.”
“[MyFitnessPal] ★ 1/5 (v26.31.0) — Wow, I’ve been using this app for over 10 years and in one vibe coded update you completely ruined the app, taking away from the whole point of downloading it in the first place. TO QUICKLY LOG YOUR CALORIES! Now it takes three times as long and doesn’t make it any easier. What a garbage update”
“[MyFitnessPal] ★★ 2/5 (v26.31.0) — App has been significantly worse since UI update 6-8 weeks. Not sure why every companies update strategy is “let’s take what you could do in 1 click now make you do 3 clicks for the same thing!””
[MyFitnessPal] ★ 1/5 (v26.31.0) — The new UI is awful compared to original
“[MyFitnessPal] ★★★ 3/5 (v26.31.0) — The new update is terrible. The new user interface is not user-friendly.”
“[MyFitnessPal] ★★ 2/5 (v26.30.0) — It used to be good but the recent updates to ui has made it almost unusable and they keep pushing there ai tool”
“[MyFitnessPal] ★ 1/5 (v26.30.0) — Ive used this app a lot back when the UI was good. I just recently logged back on and the new UI… is horrible. It’s not practical, information that was readily available like your macros and even the days of the week now take extra unnecessary steps to access, and to make matters worse, non intuitive steps. My gf is from Brazil and she is still using the old UI (apparently this new one is only for the US and some other countries) it is much better. This used to”
“[MyFitnessPal] ★ 1/5 (v26.30.0) — I’ve used MyFitnessPal for three years and recently they’ve updated it and changed it completely now it is a horrible app and they make it extremely complicated to change your activity level I’m currently looking for a new app to replace it I extremely recommend you not to download”
[MyFitnessPal] ★ 1/5 (v26.30.0) — 8/1/2026- I want to give this app a minus 100 stars! I had given up for a while and then decided to try again in the hope…
“[MyFitnessPal] ★ 1/5 (v26.30.0) — I’ve loved this app for years but the new update is horrible. It’s pushing AI, and leaving out lots of features that I loved. 3/4 tabs are unusable now. There’s a meal planner function that won’t even let you add regular white rice.. or any of your own recipes. Why would you make the app harder to use? I opted to cancel my premium subscription and try cronometer instead. Emails to the company have resulted in being told that I’ll get used to it. Try letting year”
“[MyFitnessPal] ★ 1/5 (v26.30.0) — After using this app since it was first introduced, I can say with 100% certainty that it is not even 1/100 of what it used to be. With each update, it becomes worse and worse. I pay for the premium version for several reasons, one of them being the barcode scan which works about 50% of the time. I can predict that this review will receive some AI generated slop auto reply that every negative review receives and that this app will eventually lose all of its pai”
“[MyFitnessPal] ★ 1/5 (v26.30.0) — Every. Single. Update. I am nothing but disappointed. The UI becomes harder to use, and uglier. Not only am i getting more ads- but not when i want to log for one meal, i see every meal first. If i want to delete logs, i can no longer select to delete or mass delete them. I firmly believe the developers are now more interest in AI and money than the quality of their app, and the comfort of their customers. I will be switching apps. Thanks for ruining your app”
“[MyFitnessPal] ★ 1/5 (v26.30.0) — I don’t even know where to start all I know is I don’t understand why you would change something that wasn’t broken! I’ve been a premium user for 15 years!? There are so many things wrong with the new layout/UI/update, and I don’t have time to list all of them here. But if you’ve been a user for a while, then you already know. Please please please bring back some of the old features that you omitted with the update! I never thought I’d have to say that I’m consi”
“[MyFitnessPal] ★ 1/5 (v26.30.0) — Trash app. The update is the dumbest thing you could ever do. I’m don’t with this app will not be renewing my membership will be looking for a refund. Most ppl that use these types of apps use them for conveniency and predictability. No one wants to learn a new app every month. They won’t allow you to use the old interface. They force you into this new update and now they took your money and most likely you will stop using the app. Should be a crime.”
