1. [R15] 5/5 · US Long term use: I’ve been using this app for almost 14 years, it is still has the best, most accurate nutrition data base. I like having my historic tracking data for reference.
2. [R28] 5/5 · US One of the best: This is one of the best calorie tracking apps I’ve used so far. I’ve never been a fan of tracking calories because it always seemed like such a burden; down to every single bite of food. Even at one point I terribly miscalculated my calories and had no energy, and no menstrual cycle. But this was really easy to use and it was free with very minimal in app pay options. Which was gr
3. [R84] 5/5 · US The best calorie counter: I have used MyFitnessPal on and off for years and keep coming back to it after trying others. This app has the biggest database of foods, is the most accurate and easiest to use. I love that they added the GLP1 tracker because that is why I was using a different app but now I will come back again. The price for premium is great and makes it easier to use consistently so i
4. [R90] 4/5 · US Fantastic, has very annoying issues: This is by far the best calorie/macro tracking app out there, no doubt. Amazing catalog of foods and barcodes, love it, i’ve used it nearly daily for the past 3 years. Biggest issue I have though is once every few weeks I randomly get signed out and all my data cleared randomly. I’ve gotten it to sync back up after a while but this continuously happening stops
5. [R18] 3/5 · US Great still needs improvement: I love it it really has helped me lose weight and control my eating knowing what’s in food but you should make everything free so that people can use it freely and also make it for kids who are struggling
6. [R124] 5/5 · US Love this app!!!: I just started using this app a few weeks ago and have already lost weight. It keeps me on track and motivated. I’ve tried losing weight for a while but nothing has helped so thank you to this app!!!
7. [R137] 5/5 · US Wonderful: I have been logging my meals for 7 years. I’ve gone from 220 lbs down to 173 lbs.
8. [R144] 5/5 · US Protein protein protein: I started using my fitness pal in college years ago and just started back and I love that I get to track my protein since I’m noticing that’s what gets me full the most. I don’t stress myself out to keep up a tracking streak instead I use to hold me accountable for what I’m eating
9. [R63] 5/5 · US My fitness Calorie counter: I really enjoy using this app. Very easy to use
10. [R108] 5/5 · US Truly inspirational: This app keeps me focused on my goals while giving clear insights and reports on my progress. Thank you My Fitness Pal. A friend like no other 😊⭐️
11. [R112] 5/5 · US Best app I have found: Perfect for beginners looking to start somewhere
12. [R157] 5/5 · US A+ Tool: A great and easy software program that provides all the data at your fingertips for weight loss.
13. [R31] 4/5 · US Nearly perfect again: I was so frustrated with the last UI update I almost gave up on using the app. Thankfully the latest update changes the food diary to a much more condensed view so I don’t need to scroll to see what I’ve eaten. Much easier to share with others as needed. Instead of 2-3 screenshots per meal now it’s one screenshot for two meals. If they had a public API for writing food entrie
14. [R126] 5/5 · US UI is not user-friendly: Balance Restored! The dev team behind this awesome app have worked really hard resolving all the friction points I had with the latest UI upgrade! 1. “add more water” is now within 2-clicks, both first-time and for subsequent adds. 2. As a power-user, I can once again log items from my history without the list reorder itself mid-selection, which makes fast-adding multip
15. [R172] 5/5 · US listens to user feedback: the team building this app listens to feedbacks and makes changes, they’re constantly iterating and making this app better
16. [R176] 5/5 · US Updating my negative review: I will admit I was absolutely hating the new update when it first came out. However now that the bugs are fixed and all the features are available I had to come back and say that I truly appreciate all the effort the developers went through on this. All the little insights and new app flows are great. I’m really enjoying it and want to show my appreciation and apologiz
17. [R5] 1/5 · US New update: The layout is absolutely trash. You should fire whoever came up with this idea. I could tolerate losing the barcode scan on the free portion but holy moly this is a major step backwards. Go back or make it way better Update: ITS GOTTEN EVEN WORSE, oh my god how do you guys change how we manage how many calories and macros we want, just put the whole app behind a paywall at this point.
18. [R6] 1/5 · US This new update is the WORST: I don’t know who signed off on this update??? It actually makes the whole app unusable. It doesn’t let you edit your preferences and focuses on displaying things that no one that tracks their food cares about. Genuinely every single change with the update makes every part of tracking food take longer and make data less visible. I pay for the premium version and want a
19. [R22] 3/5 · US Bad update - early June: I’ve been using MyFitnessPal for about two years, but the recent layout changes have made the app difficult to use. The interface is no longer intuitive, and I find myself spending extra time just trying to log my meals, when I’m already unmotivated to log my calories. Because of this, I would no longer recommend the app to others. One major issue is how meals are display
20. [R47] 2/5 · US Terrible new diary interface: They updated the diary interface and removed a standalone diary tab. Now your food diary is unset Today tab and shows each meal as a lumped list with no individual food info, no calorie or macros until you click into that meal. It was so much better when you could see all meal details at a glance. Tally not very user friendly anymore
21. [R12] 1/5 · US Requires money to show net carbs: Including dietary fiber in total carbs is misleading. The carb total shown is useless if it is not net carbs, for those who care about carbs.
22. [R20] 1/5 · US Pay to scan!?: This is ridiculous, pay to scan labels!? Every app is free to scan except this one... it used to be free to scan. This is trash. That's so basic.
23. [R29] 1/5 · US Paid barcode scanner: Cringe that you turned an old feature into a paid one. Luckily there’s other apps out there where it’s free.
24. [R10] 2/5 · US Logged food and meal items aren’t retained: I will change my rating if this gets fixed. When I log food items, the app only appears to remember some of the items. If I go back to add in a missing food item, it still doesn’t remain logged. I can’t effectively track my meals if this doesn’t work. I have months worth of inaccurate data because of this. Please fix this bug. It sounds like this has bee
25. [R16] 1/5 · US This App Used to Be Good: I was a loyal user of MFP for years. Ever since the barcode scanner stopped being free, the app went downhill. I just renewed premium for $79.99 on 7/4/2026 and the custom calorie and macro goals I have input now multiple times in the app and on the website will not save. Conveniently, the tech support part of the website thinks my username and password are wrong when I j
26. [R19] 3/5 · US Buggy: This app used to be amazing and still should be. Unfortunately, it’s become quite buggy lately and it has prevented me from logging on several occasions.
27. [R21] 1/5 · US Why have Usernames?: New update, New problems! Who the heck updated this so that it requires your email, but has it autofill your username in the text box for the email??? Changed my password twice because of this. Bad enough it had logged me out for no reason. This app is getting worse and worse. It makes me never want to upgrade to the premium version, and just count my calories on paper instead
28. [R11] 2/5 · US New update is terrible: The latest update no longer allows to copy and paste individual food items from the day before unless you’re willing to copy and paste everything from the meal. Super annoying to have the feature taken away. Also, the app still doesn’t track caffeine.
29. [R14] 1/5 · US Undo this last update: I’ve been using this for over 10 years and the worst update I have ever seen in my life was whatever this last one was that doesn’t allow you to copy the entire days anymore, makes you have to toggle in between your diary and log screen (literally why), and makes entire thing so much more difficult to use. I am probably going to delete this app and try to find another becaus
30. [R32] 1/5 · US Saving Full Days Is Now Broken: The recent update completely broke one of the best features of MyFitnessPal. Previously you could save a full day’s meals while keeping each meal separated (Meal 1, Meal 2, Meal 3, etc.). Now the only way to save a full day is to combine everything into a single meal, which defeats the purpose of meal planning. As a coach, this has made creating and sharing meal pl
31. [R34] 2/5 · US A pain!: It’s a pain to copy meals for each category and for each day instead of having the option to input ONE DAY’s worth of meals for the rest of the week IN ONE CLICK since most of us meal prep.
32. [R17] 1/5 · US Finally Done with this app: Downloaded MacroFactor instead to escape the incessant streak alert pop ups that MFP insists on hitting you with EVERY SINGLE GODDAMN DAY. People have been complaining about this feature for over a year in the MFP forum, I think it’s clear MFP doesn’t listen to complaints from the forum and those people complaining aren’t annoyed enough to just leave the app and give t
33. [R40] 4/5 · US Pop-ups: The food database is really good, and that’s why I keep using this app, but I’m constantly annoyed by the pop-ups that say things like “keep going!” when I log something. I think any form of pop-up on any app is annoying. 😩
34. [R43] 4/5 · US Overall great app: Mostly easy to use. I wish there was a way to customize the display of tracked nutrients, regardless of macro vs micro. For example, I don’t care about my fat intake since it’s already very low I. My diet, but I do care about fiber. I have to toggle 3-4 presses of buttons just to see fiber, carbs, protein. Another relatively recent annoyance is the constant “I’m committed” pop
35. [R56] 1/5 · US Ui changes: Too many clicks, food items hidden under meals, so much space dedicated to information i dont care about, also annoying streak pop-ups adds so much friction to use the app now, something that should take <1 minute to do now takes way too long and it’s weirdly like harder to keep up with the habit now like i’d rather just not use the app anymore or maybe find an alternative or something
36. [R24] 1/5 · US Horrible support: I have an annual subscription. During the update, the app signed me out and I can’t log in for almost 2 weeks now. The support responds only every 3-4 days and when they do, they can’t find my account despite of screenshots of my subscription shared, my log in info etc.
37. [R50] 1/5 · US Beware! 0 stars for this app: I’m being charged an ANNUAL fee EVERY MONTH for a Premium level. Trying to fix this is just an AI run-around. They tell me to cancel. Yes, Did that - cancelled August 7th, 2025, according to their record of my account on the App. It’s now July 2026, and I have been charged $79.00 Every Single Month. There should be a deep forensic audit of their accounting. I could g
38. [R7] 1/5 · US New Update: The new update is actual buns. I want to be able to see my macros per meal as well not just the entire day.
39. [R9] 2/5 · US Was Better Before Update: I have used this app for years. It was much better prior to the recent update. The “home screen” used to give charts with your macros and calories, but that’s no longer the case. It also used to show all of your foods that had been logged for the day, also no longer the case. It is much less intuitive now.
40. [R1] 1/5 · US Tracking: Wants to track your data. If you’re like me and just trying to track calories don’t bother
41. [R2] 4/5 · US I like it: Except I wish u didn’t have to pay to he the perks
42. [R3] 3/5 · US GC: Since the last update, there are no registered products in GC
43. [R4] 1/5 · US Obnoxious Load Times: Consistently takes 55-65 seconds to open (loading screen).
44. [R39] 1/5 · US Stripping Features: I absolutely love the fact that they strip features out they think users will want to use and put it behind a pay wall. I also love the fact they change the UI with every update and make it worse. I’ll be looking for a new app because I’m not paying. First we can’t scan, now we can’t adjust macros except predefined recommendations. They also reset every day. Complete junk now.
45. [R23] 1/5 · US Forced login every time: App is suddenly making me log in every single time I use the app, 1/5 til it’s fixed ✌️😭
46. [R49] 2/5 · US Great app when it works: I appreciate that it’s free but the fact that it keeps logging you out is beyond frustrating. There are better apps out there now, so no need to keep dealing with this.
47. [R51] 1/5 · US The Update is Horrible: I’ve used MyFitnessPal for years, but I’m finally deleting it. I switched to Cronometer, and it offers everything MyFitnessPal used to provide for free and even more. The latest update has made the app incredibly frustrating to use. Features that were once free, like copying a tracked day to the next day, are now locked unless you pay. You also can’t set your macros in gram
